Religion and the Meaning of Life: An Existential Approach
這是最好的時代,也是最壞的時代;這是智慧的時代,也是愚蠢的時代;這是信仰的時期,也是懷疑的時期;這是光明的季節,也是黑暗的季節;這是希望之春,也是失望之冬;人們面前有著各樣事物,人們面前也一無所有;人們正在直登天堂,人們也在直下地獄——簡而言之,那時跟現在非常相像,某些最喧囂的權威堅持要用形容詞的最高級來形容它。說它好,是最高級的;說它不好,也是最高級的。 It was the best of times,it was the worst of times,it was the age of wisdom,it was the age of foolishness,it was the epoch of belief,it was the epoch of incredulity,it was the season of Light,it was the season … Continue reading

From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness
人與萬物之别幾何?尤其是人與獸禽之别是否在形態上?也許這一切差別就在意識上。一個無神論科學家 Peter Russell 在他自己尋找意識理論的探索背景下,作為一次發現之旅而進行書寫。這是心理學乃至量子物理學尚未解決的主要難題之一。我們可以用傳統科學來解釋大多數人類活動,但是我們應該如何以及為什麼要有意識,仍然沒有令人滿意的解釋。 在這裡,Russell 探討了範式轉變的主題,並解釋了隨著科學在每個時代的發展,會出現與當前理論根本不相符的事實。起初,它們被視為異常現象而被忽略,隨著測量和知識變得更加精確,它們將被接納。然而,隨著知識的增加,它們的出現變得更加頻繁和更難以解釋,而不是更少。然後出現了有遠見的人或天才,Nicolaus Copernicus,Galileo Galilei,並改變了科學研究的整個背景。他們宣稱,世界不是宇宙的中心,而是它自己繞著太陽轉,這樣做改變了Russell 所謂的元範式 metaparadigm。不用說,這是非常不得人心的,想當年 Galileo 才勉強逃過一劫。世界是如此不願意接受當前科學研究範式的轉變,以至於它可能需要幾個世紀才能成為通用潮流貨。 Russell 提出的無非是一種新的元範式轉變來解釋意識問題。他說意識不是奇妙而復雜的神經系統的結果,而是它們和所有存在發生的環境。他將此視為光現象的一部分,只有通過其效果才能看到光現象。在真空中顯然沒有光,但是當有物體擋住光使我們能夠看到的方式時。光還有另一種奇特的品質。無論你旅行多快,光速都是恆定的。其他一切都是相對的。所以時間和空間都是相對的和光的,這意味著整個光譜不僅僅是構成可見色譜的微小電磁振動範圍,而是時間和空間之外的常數。Russell 認為,這個永恆的維度就是意識本身。 作為人類,我們能夠獨特地意識到自己是有意識的,這是因為我們的神經系統如此進化。但就其本身而言,我們的思想只是我們永恆的、永恆的、有意識的智慧的中介。簡而言之,你的意識存在於世界上某個特定地方的印像是一種幻覺。我們所經歷的一切都是意識中的構造。我們作為一個獨特的自我的感覺只是心靈的另一種構造。很自然地,我們將自我形象置於世界圖景的中心,讓我們有一種身處世界的感覺。事實恰恰相反。這一切都在我們之內。你在太空中沒有位置。空間在你裏面。因此,我們的意識與所有造物背後和之內的永恆意識合而為一。它本身是非受造的,在人類存在的時空空間中不受分離和不斷變化的影響。 Peter Russell從一個嚴格的無神論者和科學家轉變為發現了神秘和科學的深刻個人綜合。 這種轉變是本書的基礎。 在 “From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness” 中,他融合了物理學、心理學和哲學,以達到一種新的世界觀,在這種世界觀中,意識是創造的基本品質。 Russell 展示了這個世界觀的所有要素是如何到位的; 它仍然只是將碎片拼湊起來並探索出現的新現實圖景。 將深厚的科學知識與自己的冥想體驗相結合,Russell 到達了一個類似於許多神秘主義者所描述的宇宙 —— 一個內在世界和外在世界不再衝突的宇宙。 … Continue reading
