Quantum physics in our braines

Is quantum physics the last chance for mystery n our lives?

The fact is that no one knows how it works, the only thing we know is that it works.

But is it really important for living beings? Is it not only important in the very small world.

It seems not so.

According to research, birds can navigate, tadpoles can turn to frogs and we can use smell because of quantum physics.

Why is that so special?

Well that may mean that chance  may play a role in our lives, and that time may be more complicated than we think.

It may be that we can influence our brain because of meditation. And by changing our brain, we can even change our past!

How? We all know it; there may be different stories about our past. There may be other perspectives.

I have written about my memories about my childhood, and after that and after that my siblings have read it, it changed my view about my childhood a bit.
A learned to see from my fathers and my mothers point of view of the time I was born, and I learned to see the culture of the time I was born into.

By meditation we also may lose all perspectives and stay in silence. At least for a moment.
We can stay in the here and now and not care about the future and the past.
That's a rest for our brains that may cause room for some new perspectives and an understanding for the perspectives of other people.

And the more perspectives we have, the more we understand. of what is out there.

Reality may be more complicated but also more interesting.

In the end the dialogue may be the most important part of human existence.
Plato was one of the earliest to understand this. Also in a democracy and even in a family dialog is necessary.  And that includes not just to speak, but also to listen.

To listen without the urge to answer is what is learned in the Buddhist tradition of, for instance, Thich Nhat Hanh,
Maybe you can create a dialog in a few days, when you really know what to say - or maybe a hug may be the best reaction.


I don's try to combine Quantum Physics with consciousness but it would be strange if they not have something in common.

Anyway, here is a film about Quantum physics in us and other animals.

Cora Diamond on eating animals - with the help of Wittgenstein´s ideas

Image
Cora Diamond is a new name for me, even if she has worked as a professor in Philosophy in the states for a long time and is still  teaching at the university of Virginia, even she is over 80 years old. She has written a lot about Wittgenstein and that has helped her to express her view of the topic. Although she, like Wittgenstein,  has lived in a hut in Norway - and actually brought Tractatus with hes - she seems to be different and for sure more glad than W. Anyways, its W: s writings that interests her and especially his critics of metaphysics and ethics in philosophy. As it is said in Tractacus  : " Whereof one  cannot speak , thereof one must be silent." And of ethics philosophy should not speak - why? Is it like in Buddhism - its better to sit in silence and let know yourself, than to speculate about what will happen when we die? But for sure there ethical guidelines in Buddhism,  but the behaviors is often named skilful, not good (or bad). Another

I think, therefore I am NOT

So Descartes was wrong. He said that he could doubt everything about himself except that he was thinking. That proved that he existed. The word "I" is the central point here. What does it mean? Perhaps we are sure that we know the answer. Is it the thoughts? In that case - where are you when you aren't thinking? Is it your job, your title? In that case - what happens if you loose your job or change job? Is it your house, your nation? Under my course to be a mindfulness instructor, the teacher, Ola Schenström, made us ask to each other; "Who are you?" After each answer the question was repeated by the questioner.We soon discovered that there were no end to the answers - or maybe an adequate end could be; "I don't know."Or maybe; "It seems I have no essence." Other thinkers have come to the same conclusions; Buddha, Sartre and more recently Damasio and Parfit. Sartre, for instance, has said that we are the sum of our actions. We ha

Wittgenstein and Buddha -buddies?

Image
Ludwig Wittgenstein, the famous philosopher, reflected in the posthumously published  book "Philosophical Investigations" about the picture above; Is it a hare or duck?  He meant that we make, or must make, a statement what it is. And I suppose he meant that we often or always has to interpret the world around us. But two different interpretations can both be right! Language and thoughts controls what we see.....   You can compare with the picture of a glass. Half empty or half empty?  Who decides? Yes, it's you... And whatever you say is right.  But you can be aware of what you think. That can say more of yourself than of the glass....  You can be aware of that you always do interpretations of things that happens.  If you have a pessimistic or a naive point of view, you can be aware of the view and your statements.  Buddha and Wittgenstein were both aware of that different persons uses different perspectives.  But Buddha spoke about the "right
