Quantum Kabbalah
Is it not possible the what is commonly known as the “quantum effect” could be a 4th-dimensional effect? One of the reasons I refer to Kabbalah as I understand it, as Quantum Kabbalah, is that I believe that many events or effects that we refer to as spiritual, or miraculous could also possibly be a similar 4th-dimensional effect. In other words, it has characteristics that are not 3-dimensional, or cannot be fully perceived nor conceived nor explained by remaining in 3d—which by the way is most of reality, which, of course, we can only approximate in our depictions, whether scientific, artistic or theosophical. It seems, to me, more appropriate to refer to it as 4d, rather than quantum—which is this mysterious realm which no one really understands, and takes much arcane and complex mathematics, understood by only a few pundits, to explain. One could say the same thing about the spiritual realm. In fact, especially that “quantum” realm of science could be described in a religious context. One could say that it has created a kind of a priesthood, fed by strange symbols and misunderstood descriptions, that only people who study this realm intensely for many years are able to comprehend. Similar to the priests and rabbis who interpret the Torah for us common folk, the imam’s and enlightened sages who have enlightened and uplifted the masses for ages.
If we are intimately associated with the 4th-dimension, and we are, of course—due to the fact that it is the “neighbouring” or “next” dimension to 3d. Just as 2d is our neighbour, and lives with us in so much of our communication and representation of our lived experience. I do not think I need to give too many examples of this, but here are a couple. Geographical maps are stereographic projections of the earth, from 3d to 2d. A circle is a 2d representation of a 3d sphere, and all of us can comprehend that. Just slice a solid, round mud ball, and your circle will appear along the cut. We write on flat 2d paper.
The observer
Now what are these characteristics referred to above? And why are they referred to as quantum? For me, one of the main reasons is because the observer influences the observed. In other words, the environment, the people, their attitudes, and many other subtle influences will affect the outcome of whatever experiment is being measured.
Now, in the quantum world, the measuring tools are carefully calibrated (one would hope, though there are some interesting exceptions to this), and deviations can be accounted for. It all has a very deterministic, and mechanistic, basis—and still, these deviations take intricate mathematical formulae to manage, though it is also an approximation.
However, when investigating subtle effects that need both a human observer, and a human being observed in order for the effect to manifest itself sufficiently to be “measured” somewhat empirically, the margin for error, i.e. misinterpretation, is huge. Little can be determined empirically in this space, as the outcome is also time based!
