For the record, I didn't say anything about the TMO using quantum physics as a metaphor; that was Shemp. > Fromm a movement web site. There are entire papers on > consciousness as the unified field. Where do they make the claims that Wilber debunks? The claims listed in your previous post were: --Physics proves God; the Tao finds proof in quantum realities. --Your consciousness creates electrons. --Quantum vacuum potentials are unmanifest Spirit. --Understanding quantum mechanics means you're enlightened. I can't recall ever hearing any of these claims from the TMO. > > Discovery of the Unified Field of Natural Law > > Developments in modern science, in particular in Quantum Physics, > have opened new perspectives for a unified understanding of Nature. > > Historically, the analysis of the microscopic structure of matter > began with the idea that all substances are composed of tiny > particles, like atoms and their subatomic constituents.
