Suggesting that for one scientist, among many mysticism is not an alien concept.
The early pioneers of Quantum Theory such as Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenbeg, Wolfgang Pauli, Geoffrey Chew, and, Bernard Lovell have all been aware of the parallels between mysticism and Quantum Theory with Fritjof Capra identifying nine such parallels: reference: The Tao of Physics, subtitled An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism. The Tao of Physics asserts that both physics and metaphysics lead inexorably to the same knowledge.
Paul of Tarsus: “We, though many, are one body in Christ and, individually, members of one another”. Rom. 12:5 Paul also tells us that “Before anything was created, He existed, and He holds all things in unity”. Col. 1: 16-1. He also knew about light. “As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him”. 4 Acts 9.
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.~Genesis 1:3
The first Book of John also dwells on the light entering the world.
The substance of the Universe, what the Universe is made of, is light. Ilya Prigogine tells us, “matter is just a minor pollutant in a Universe made of light” and the scientist Max Planck said, “there is no matter as such.” Scientists have only discovered in recent times that matter is ‘gravitationally trapped light’ and so Einstein said “For the rest of my life I want to reflect on what light is.”
We understand that matter, and light are ultimately interchangeable. Matter is nothing but gravitationally trapped light. For every particle of matter, there are one billion particles of light. Even the human body stores immense amounts of light.
The Christ has also been called the Zen Master, and surely he is giving us a koan or two, to jolt us out of our ordinary way of thinking, when He said “The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.” John 6:56 and “Dwell in me as I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it dwell in the vine, neither can you unless you dwell in me.” Jn 15:4 and “As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us.” John 17:21.
Obviously, Christ's words are no more than just metaphor, standard Biblical truths, not actuality ? Could it be that it is much more because now we know that the Universe is a Universe of light, and so the Body of Christ is photons of light, and Christ is the light of the world, and we are all just photons of light, and so it is all about light. Certainly by now it is almost be axiomatic that Quantum Theory, being about light can even give us some idea of what the creator is as revealed in light.
Zen also speaks about the light of the world saying, that
It could be said, and I'll say it that anyone who considers that they are spiritual is also mystical, and this could no doubt be a huge surprise perhaps even a somewhat unpleasant surprise because of the general belief that mysticism is strangely weird even alien to the rational mind. But what it could mean is that there is oneness with the divine mystery, and this oneness is at its most profound when love of another person, or persons opens up our life to sharing, assisting, and embracing those whose very existence may come to depend upon our giving of self for love's sake.
