> please leave quantum mechanics out of it
Would you explain why?
Many things were considered magic and witchcraft in the past and people were burned alive for being slightly more intelligent and/or intuitive in their approaches to life or various objective problems of the age. A good part of these "witchcraft" practices are now commonly known "life hacks", or "tips and tricks", etc.
Quantum mechanics is something nobody on this planet actually fully grasps. Isn't it our duty to be skeptical not only to the religious believers and meditation practitioners but to be skeptical about us being too skeptical as well, so to speak?
For all we know, there might exist a soul, consciousness, or a "hollistic wave front" as Dan Simmons in Hyperion / Endymion calls it, and it might as well operate exactly on one of the quantum fields of reality. (It might be a very fine and huge collection of mega-complex algorithms that work on a quantum plane same way our machines' code works only on certain silicon-derived dies.)
So again, why should we leave the quantum mechanics out of the spiritual/meditative/what-you-wanna-call-it experiences, exactly?
The objective truth is, for now both sides don't know for sure if they are right or wrong. No?
