[Un] physicien nucléaire théoricien [...] fait un parallélisme psychophysique : dans un collapsus quantique, les possibilités se manifestent sur l'un des quatre compartiments de possibilité : physique, vital, mental, supramental (ou bouddhique). Prenons pour exemple analogique la télévision : elle nous montre des images et des sons, mais en réalité c'est l'esprit qui donne le sens. Beaucoup de psychothérapeutes utilisent maintenant la méditation pour faire de nous des «penseurs quantiques». La méditation est le processus qui nous amène à l'être. 3, record 1, French, - physicien%20th%C3%A9oricien%20du%20noyau
