The Soul Care We Don’t See
“There is a fundamental error in separating the parts from the whole, the mistake of atomizing what should not be atomized. Unity and complementarity constitute reality.”
— Werner Heisenberg

It is a mistake to take scientific terms like “quantum” and rearrange them like refrigerator magnets so we can justify the claims of our religion. It seems to me that it is also a mistake, after Heisenberg, to explain our world only in terms of mechanistic reductionism. The ancient mystics were usually wrong when they made objective scientific claims about the world, but they were often right about what matters most. Multiplicity IS somehow illusory. We ARE all interconnected in some mysterious way. Our lives DO matter because, no matter how small we may feel, our mere existence changes everything.

I think it’s divine when it snows… And when it rains, and when the leaves rustle the trees — these are all divine phenomena, these are all miracles, these are grand moments in man’s life. Moments that are divine. And if it is a pity to die, it is because of these divine manifestations. This is the spectacle of life, all life is divine providence.
— Tonino Guerra is an Italian poet, writer and filmmaker.
