Incredibly detailed description of perception and relationship between mind and matter, with accordance to modern cognitive psychology

Cool I’ll have to look into it. Any place in particular I should start? Does it delve into quantum physics at all?
I don’t think so. I really liked this book, but might be a bit dense for a first touch with Buddhism literature, its academic https://wisdomexperience.org/product/the-theravada-abhidhamma/
At a quick glance this seems very much in line with various aspects of quantum mechanics.
I am personally very wary of trying to bring quantum to psychology/spirituality. There’s too much woo in that and most who do this don’t understand physics at all and just do some simple connections because some of the vocabulary/metaphors used in quantum seem similar to those from religions. The leap is just too great and I’ve never seen a serious, deep and successful attempt to do this. But I also don’t feel a need to find this connection
The guy in the video I linked makes that connection. Maybe not seriously but says they are remarkably similar.
The dawn of physics started with philosophers. I suspect in the end, it will come full-circle.
But I do agree the muddled stuff is annoying, many-worlds arguments in particular. Keep the multiverse in Rick and Morty. :-)
putting this on my daylight for future me
