Summary
Introductory talk given by Fritjof Capra (Physicist).
Fritjof Capra: The parallels between modern physics and Eastern mysticism are striking, significant and profound.
FC: Quantum theory has made us aware that particles are not isolated grains of matter but are interconnections in an inseparable cosmic web.
FC: The aim of both physicists and mystics is the same: to see into to the essential nature of things. Their methods are thoroughly empirical.
FC: What are the implications of the profound harmony between the worldviews of modern physics and mystical thought?
Gordon Globus: I find myself not agreeing with Krishnamurti and very much agreeing with Freud, believing that there are very deep biological roots to self-interest.
K: Apart from theories and speculations, what is the self, the ‘me’?
K: When you see something as being true or false, can that be changed?
