Quanta Mechanics - A Pointer Pointing to the Moon
The nature of reality is spiritual, not material or a dualism of matter and spirit. Physics operates in a symbolic world; waves can represent almost anything, but they do not reveal the intrinsic nature of things. The modern conception of the physical world intentionally leaves room for the reality of spirit and consciousness. Quantum mechanics points towards non-duality, symbolized as a finger pointing to the moon - the moon representing infinity. While scientific symbols are indispensable, they are not the entirety, leading most to get stuck at symbols rather than reaching the essence. Richard Feynman emphasized the limitations of rationality, highlighting that the electron is a useful theory but not entirely real. Increasingly sophisticated math and science abstracts reality, leading to disconnection from our true essence.
