Interesting article. Thanks for the link.
Here are some quotes from the article that I liked. I think I will also add them to my DJ.
Imagine a place where everything that can happen, does happen; where past, present, and future are all together; a kaleidoscope of worlds – form without substance, ripples upon ripples upon waves upon waves of pure experience – limitless worlds of possibility, existing beyond time. This is the quantum reality. This is the world of the unconscious mind. We visit it each night, in our dreams
The problem ... is this fundamental principle of mind: Unconscious events are not observable.
And what kind of scientific principle is this, that there are certain events that cannot be observed? There is only one such principle in all of science, and that is the principle of the quantum wavefunction. The quantum wavefunction cannot be observed, it can only be inferred from observable data.
The quantum wavefunction cannot be observed because it is a superposition of possibilities. Only one possibility out of all the possibilities of the wavefunction can be observed. If we observe the same wavefunction over and over again, we will eventually sample the full range of possibilities,
The process of consciousness arising out of the unconscious is the very same process as the process of observation of the wavefunction. This leads to the inescapable conclusions that the unconscious is the wavefunction, and that consciousness is what we call reality. But the events of the unconscious are no less real than the events of consciousness.
We know this because, in the unconscious, anything that can happen, does happen.
