Michael A. Williams replied to J. E. Mead's discussion Quantum Realities, Science etc. in the group ScienceMichael A. Williams replied to J. E. Mead's discussion Quantum Realities, Science etc. in the group Science"It seems to me, gentlemen, that a confusing element is afoot here. Namely, definition of terms, and mainly that of "realism," "physical realism, " or "material realism"(all meaning the same). My comments earlier…"
Michael A. Williams replied to J. E. Mead's discussion Quantum Realities, Science etc. in the group Science"Mark, I pretty much agree with you on what you just stated.
John, you're referring to articles in professional physics journals. I'm referring to a possible article geared to the interested public in this subject.
This is far from a top…"
Michael A. Williams replied to J. E. Mead's discussion Quantum Realities, Science etc. in the group Science"Thanks, John, for your thoughts on the PBR paper and framing it in the lingo that physicists would use professionally.
I'm aware that materialists are for the time being in the majority of mainstream physics. Never-the-less, if I…"
Michael A. Williams replied to J. E. Mead's discussion Quantum Realities, Science etc. in the group Science"As I somewhat suspected, an argument among materialist physicists. Let them "slug it out."
If this PBR paper "proves" consciousness is involved in the wave state mathematically or not, I can't say. But, we don't need, I…"
Michael A. Williams replied to J. E. Mead's discussion Quantum Realities, Science etc. in the group Science"Thanks, John, but these articles are too mathematically techinical for me and most other laypersons. What I had in mind was something putting this new paper on wavefunctions by the trio called PBR, for short, in a philosophical and cultural context…"
Michael A. Williams replied to J. E. Mead's discussion Quantum Realities, Science etc. in the group Science"Interesting subject, John, to some people at least. Thanks for calling our attention to it. I'll keep an eye out for any articles by metaphysically oriented quantum physicists addressing the issue raised here."
Michael A. Williams commented on bournemouthsoc's event UFOs and The Transformation of the World"Thanks, Phillip, for the info. This topic doesn't seem to excite much interest here whenever it's brought up, but perhaps some visitors will find the sites you list of value.
Now, here's a tidbit I just tracked down. I thought I…"
Michael A. Williams commented on bournemouthsoc's event UFOs and The Transformation of the World"This event is a little far away for most members here. Phillip,(bournemouthsoc), could you give us a brief rundown on what transpires and is said once it is over? or maybe give us a website that coves the event.
Personally, I'm with Bill…"
Michael A. Williams replied to J. E. Mead's discussion Peace and Quiet"Yes, it is, sorry to say, the site has been on the downswing for some time, but all sites will have ups and downs. Has it ever occurred to the Inner Circle here that this site may not be the center of focus for most members lives? That they, and…"
Michael A. Williams commented on Monad's blog post The inner life of Krishnamurti"Hello, Monad, I respect your difference of opinion in regards to Geoffrey Hodson's critique. J. Krishnamurti certainly has many inspirational insightful gems that can be gleamed out and quoted. I would put him among the top ten…"

Michael A. Williams commented on Monad's blog post The inner life of Krishnamurti"I'm not sure exactly what the new "rules of engagement" are here now, so this might get deleted. But, I had to return briefly to make a few comments on the above book, "The Inner Life of Krishnamurti."
To be clear, I'm…"

Joe Fulton said… - Yes, unfortunately, I have had the awful experience of having to listen to their jargon-studded mouthing of phrases. I think that it's a bit humorous in a way. I've had the same experience with die-hard fundamentalists of all types, including followers of HPB who wish to turn her into a porcelain saint. Although the die-hard followers of Alice Bailey tend to follow a close 2nd to Krishnamurti-ites.
Unfortunately these behaviors do a disservice to those in all movements who are thoughtful about their words and actions.

- Greetings and welcome to the Theosophical Network!
