Narrated by Brent W. Truitt, "What is the relation between quantum physics and spirituality?" Brent reads the introduction to this study. You can read the full article accompanying Ep 06: - What is the relation between quantum physics and spirituality? here and you can read all articles and Q & A to learn more about spirituality here.

INTRODUCTION

Brief Explanation of Quantum Physics and Spirituality

Quantum Physics, also known as quantum mechanics, is a branch of physics that deals with phenomena on a very small scale, such as molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles.

It is a scientific field that has revolutionized our understanding of the physical world.

Spirituality, on the other hand, refers to the various ways that human beings seek and express meaning and purpose. It involves our inner, subjective world of human consciousness and can often be connected to religion or faith, personal development, or the pursuit of existential purpose.

Introduction

The quest for enlightenment has been pursued in many cultures, religions, and countries.

And it’s been searched for by seekers since almost of the dawn of human language.

The term “enlightenment” has held varying connotations, capturing the essence of an individual’s journey toward understanding, awareness, and ultimate liberation.

This article delves deep into the intricacies of enlightenment from a multi-faceted perspective.

We begin this journey exploring:

1) Buddhist concepts such as Bodhi, Kensho, and Satori

2) Religions such as Hinduism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity

3) Interpretations by Perennialists and Universalists

The exploration continues into the realm of Neo-Advaita, examining its Western interpretation and the significant teachers who shaped its philosophy.

The narrative will also cover Yoga, with its emphasis on Moksha and the benefits it brings to our modern world.

Will close up by “going West” so we can understand the Western world’s interpretations of enlightenment — from Socrates to modern day.

Join us in this enlightening journey, where we dissect, discuss, and understand “spiritual enlightenment” and its many interpretations across religions, cultures, and philosophies.
