WoW...Without using the approach of "rocket science", this presentation was clearly understood and easily ingested...Sabbadini exuded much humility...many soft spoken truths were revealed...Thanks for posting !!!

I am a Buddhist and I was drawn to this..I feel at home

Absolutely marvelous! Thank you for presenting this! 🙏

Glad to have found this lecture. I started reading Tao Te Ching last night and two pages into the introduction I knew I had to seek how Tao reconciles with the quantum state. Cheers all the way

First time I read the Tao Te Ching: Laozi must be the father of Physics.

Sabbadini [31:50]: "We appear to be located within the world and within a body. We are experiencing the world from within a body, which means that all of our experiences are correlated with a happening, a change, a process, a something in a body. So all our experiences are connected to a recording of information and that's the reason why the world appears classical to us. It appears either/or, it appears like solid reality. OK, this is tricky and subtle so I'm sure we'll have to discuss and investigate it further." So why does he stop here at the most important point? This is where he could give a solid explanation based on everything that he's been leading up to but he peters out and goes on to talk about the Tao Te Ching. The body is a recording apparatus so we break the probability wave and get a solid object. This is the arising of nama and rupa, shape and form, the ten thousand things. He needs to add the second part to the above citation. What is it? Can we infer: The appearance of being located within the world and within a body is just an appearance and it doesn't have to be so? By not experiencing the world from within a body, we do not break the probability wave and all is without form, all is unnamed? Classical 'reality' is equivalent to samsara and the illusion of a separate world out there and maintaining the probability wave is equivalent to liberation? I'm trying to add logical sequiturs here. I wish he'd gone on to explain further at this key point!

Very well done, thank you!

please invitee him back to expand on this please, just love it, and him!

Beautiful, thank you!

Delightful, thank you!

The Tao doesn't look for meaning it just is .

Wonderful ! Thank you!

This content is a priceless teaching. The speaker is a Buddha

If you already have a quantum physics background, or don't care, then head to the latter third for the Laozi section.

Modern science would be so different if it was developed from a Daoist frame of mind.

this lecture is excellent ty

Thank you very much for this. May I ask the name of the music piece at the beginning?

Thankyou

"We appear to be located in the world but we experience the world from the body which means all we experience is a process,a happening, connected to a recording of informations and that's why the world appear classical to us and appear like solid reality ..." Wooowww...... (31:31)

thanks for the talk. Where can I get the pretty Tao Te King edition used?

Bravo! Così interesante e vero.

Well Done !

The Tao is not a thing, but a concept that refers to the mystery of existence, the laws that govern it and the wisdom needed for each human to navigate it. The patterns of existence are there to be realised. Some are large, some are small. It should not surprise us that ancient thinkers were able to discover some of them.

Kind of boring presentation but I really live quantum mechanics and spirituality so I am glad I stayed through the entire lecture because he gave some really good gems from the Dow de Ching. Lou Zu said the secret is to hold the name and no name together as one. The word existence means to leave/ exit- and as you do you feel that separation and therefore suffer- its the perspective you hold that releases you from suffering. So if you believe you are the wave in the ocean (where the wave gets consumed by another one) you will suffer thinking you are just a wave and separate from the Ocean. Rather the ocean and wave are one.

Anyone know what book that Dao De Jing (character chart) is from? Thanks!

Consciousness is what something does, not what something is.

once i will wake up- there will not be nothing to deceive,no religions,no churches,no superstitions and no word- god ¬¬... what a harmonious and real world will be,because truth and education will reign a world

Augusto, I miss you. This is la nonna's donna di compagnia.

Quantum science is almost like a religion that has been backed up by research

I am a Chinese. A few weeks ago, I used Chinese traditional Taoism-derived forecasting techniques to predict the candidate for the latest Fed chairman, and I was right. I have just studied Chinese forecasting for a week and I will continue to study.

Those that speak of Taoism as being the way of Nature do not know the way of Tao. The source, name, the identity of the source of the Creation of Taoism, can not be spoken of, given a name, is nameless, can not be Identified. The Reality of everything being born of a random Singularity having a dual Quality, the Way of Tao is not One-1 way; Tao is two. These two ways are the same, identical, yet each distinct from the other; as the two-issue forth from the same, a single nameless source they are spoken of differently. The secret waits for the insight of eyes unclouded by longing. Mystery upon mystery; those bound by desires born of Nature's law of Cause and Effect, are themselves super facial, see only the outward container. Having passion, however, will allow things that have Mother Nature as their source to be made manifest Reality. These two Mother Nature and Reason as one are the gateway to the manifold secrets of the Universe.

I am trying to form words not to agree, but to say that when I encountered QP in my forties, I was immediately convinced that the Tao I read in my 20's had taught me all I needed to know. Can anyone describe the theory that suggested that two particles separated by time and space communicate - a theory Einstein refuted - but has been a thorn in QP. When I heard about that one, I realised that I'd had the experience called love, described scientifically. Why we urge to be part of each other, why some people or things draw us to them or others repel. I cannot quite believe that a scientist has in some way agreed with an idea I nurtured in secret so long. Still, perhaps I should be less interested in measuring these thoughts, and just be still. Off to China in 5 weeks, perhaps, if I am supposed to go....maktub.

Hey man. Your Chinese translations are off. I'm a westerner but I speak Chinese, I've lived here for 13 years. I am about HSK (Chinese proficiency test) level 4 in reading. Dao can also mean arrive. Wo dao le. I've arrived. Feichang means very. Feichang doesn't mean constant, it means very. Ke you have got right. Keyi means possible for example, keneng means can do. You got the tones spot on too. So, really it means... there are many, hahaha, sorry but that is the nature of this verse. The way that is possible (for you) is very much the way. So I'd then, from there say it means, you are on the dao of the dao, the road to the way. And, the name that can be named is very much the name. ..Looking a bit futher into this, I see other translations are saying the same as yourself. Well, haha, my translation here is first hand. And like I say, the nature of this verse is very much like that. Lots of Chinese verse, usually in sentences of four words can mean many, many different things.
