A Universe of Possibility but No Bedrock of Certainty.

Can we retrain our intuitive worldview to see a reality of collective probabilities?

Is the next revolution a revolution in perception? Are we still stuck with a Newtonian worldview of cause and effect in a Quantum multiverse of tiny probabilities? If an electron interferes with itself in the two slit experiment, does that mean the paths I have not chosen are interfering with my current perceived life? The excerpt below has much to ponder…

“The universe is a collection of probabilities. Tiny probabilities build into large objects that we perceive as real in our intuitive sense that things exist at a definite place, time, and momentum, but at the fundamental level they do not. Because our perspective on the world conflicts with quantum mechanics, the theory predicts many seeming impossibilities, such as the ability of matter to blink in and out of existence for no reason. But those seeming impossibilities have been proven real by experiment.” from Beyond Earth by Wohlforth and Hendrix published in 2016.

My ungrounded hypothesis is that our current worldview is a collective hallucination. However, a quantum worldview has already been achieved by sages and mystics through meditation techniques that break down the underpinnings of that hallucination. Nirvana, literally “the act of extinguishing” is the ability to perceive from the superposition of all our possible lives. That superposition is what the Yoga Sutra calls the “purusa”.
