The Physics of the Mind: New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers and Seekers is aimed at psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, healers, and anyone interested in the interface of physics and the mind. Both are interesting topics – even more so when combined. Phil Mollon’s expertise is within psychology and, over his long career, he came to realise the importance of physics to the field. In particular, the branches that place mind and consciousness in the foreground of how we might understand the universe and our place within it. There is a deep organising principle operating at all levels of the universe. It gives rise to life and is apparent within the human mind in dreams and creativity. A key lesson from quantum physics is that consciousness and the human mind are inextricably involved in the emergence of what we can observe and experience of our matter-based realm. In other words, the behaviour of the quantum realm is shaped by our observation of it. Just as we think of space-time as shaped by gravitational forces and massive bodies, so we can conceptualise mind-space. The latter contains mathematical correlithms of thought, emotion, and memory, whereby what is similar attracts more of the same in a manner analogous to gravity. These have effects within the mind and in the wider life-field. For example, severe and repeated childhood trauma creates the equivalent of ‘black holes’ in the mind-space. Metaphysics posits that our matter-based universe is subtended within an infinite unified field of intelligence and creativity. We are contained within a vast mind. The principle is that unlimited guidance and knowledge is available via meditation and intuition, requiring only that we seek. It is never thrust upon us. This is a book filled with extraordinary ideas to dip into wherever curiosity and intuition lead. It is the author’s fervent wish that what is within will stimulate thought and awareness, and spark continuing creative concepts concerning our place in this cosmos.
