Retrocausality

While this appears an extremely complex concept at the moment, I think it's simplistically and beautifully brought out in one of my all time favorite books, 'There's No Place Like Faraway' by Richard Bach.

It's a ten minute read, almost like a children's book, maybe as deep as the much better known 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

We've heard of the Space Time continuum from spiritual thinkers (vedanta for sure), from philosophers , movies and books. 

This time round, what was even more fascinating was hearing it in a discussion among hardcore scientists. A discussion on  The Nature of Fundamental Reality, with the panel being experts from Mathematics, Quantum Mechanics, and Computational Physics, from the most esteemed institutes in the US.....and the even bigger surprise was the discussion being moderated by Deepak Chopra.  An in itself clear indicative of the blending of or rather the breakdown of walls between Science and Spirituality.

Retrocausality, simply put, is an 'occurence in the present' impacting an event or occurrence  'in the past'. It seems like a practical and rational non doable. But that's because we look at Time and Space as uni dimensional and linear. But it's now even scientifically getting accepted that Space Time is a continuum, and it works as quantum and not linear. If you want more, watch the discussion.

I actually loved how the discussion began with Bernardo asking if Mathematics was the foundation of reality, and how Edward talks of it with this metaphor ' If Tolstoy didn't exist Anna Karenina wouldn't exist', yet if Pythogoras didn't exist, the Pythogoras theorem would still exist. And to that extent mathematics is completely objective, yet it exists only in mental space.

It's the deepest form of abstraction, which is entirely mental. Yet not personal. So it exists in the mental, in the consciousness which is underlying all consciousness....in the collective consciousness. A implicit assumption being that the mind extends beyond the personal. The personal is the door to reach that consciousness.  And then you take that door, and realize the truth is not outside...... it's inside. Mind blowing huh? (pun intended)
