quantum mechanics and zen buddhism

Quantum Mechanics holds that a particle is neither a particle or a wave, has no direction or velocity, exhibits no characteristics
until, it is observed or measured.

Zen buddhism teaches that we are one with the universe. That everything we touch and smell, everything we see and experience
is an expression of who we (individually and collectively) are.

When you overlay the two philosophies, they are saying the same thing just from a different perspective.

While to some, the two perspectives are polar opposites; science from the perspective of the particle, and the zen buddhist teachings from the perspective of the self, they still convey the same message.
They are Converging to the same conclusion as to the nature of creation and our place within it.

Quantum mechanics states that the fundamental level of reality is a set or sets of probabilities.
Zen Buddhism states that the fundamental level of reality is manifest through our desires.

"The storing center of ideation (alaya-vijnana). The Tibetans (Zen) refer to it as the 'consciousness which is the substratum of all'.
It is a kind of eternal repository from which can be drawn the substance of every possible image and idea."(1)

Quantum mechanics states that everything is manifest from characteristicless quantum foam.
Zen Buddhism states that everything is manifest from the mind of the eternal.

Quantum mechanics tries to eliminate the white noise from complex systems to study it's pre-manifest form.
Zen Buddhism strives to quite the mind to see reality as it really is. (Or as it is not.)

Both quantum mechanics and zen buddhism have reached the same conclusion:
You are the key to the manifest nature of reality.
