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.

I’ll check it out

Prompted it a bit and indeed seems to draw from quantum properties.

My guess is whoever came up with it took some shrooms and had an out of body experience 🤣

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
