Consciousness, mysticism, and quantum physics.
Hossam Badrawi
I was explaining to young dreamers of tomorrow the genesis of the fetus in the mother’s womb, and the gradation of creation from two cells that converge to a multicellular creature, then to organs and systems inside the fetus’s body with different functions.
And the dialogue took place about when this fetus becomes a human being, then when the spirit enters it, and where is in all that the soul that the Qur’an talks about, and it is, as we understand, which lives and dies.
I told them: It may be the body of the fetus and the trillions of cells in it, and its DNA, and they are the material things that we monitor their existence, and we understood in them, including many, one thing, and the soul and soul are something else, we are still in the first stages of understanding them.
And they ask you about the soul, say, “The soul is from the affair of my Lord.”
“God does not burden a soul beyond its capacity, for it is what it earned, and for it is what it earned.”
“Every soul will taste death”
The smart young man said: What does this have to do with awareness, Doctor? When will the fetus and child become aware?
I said: Awareness is a mental state through which the reality and the facts that are happening around us are perceived, through human contact with the environment in which he lives and his contact with it. Consciousness matures gradually with the realization of everything around the human being through the outlets of awareness that are represented in his senses that convey that to his mind, so he translates them, synthesizes them and perceives.
The greater the intellectual output that the human mind includes, in addition to the different points of view contained in this mind and related to the different concepts that revolve around life and living issues, the greater his awareness and awareness of himself within the framework of the existing and events around him.
Therefore, the fetus and the child at the time of birth and beyond are not aware of this concept.
He said: Are all other creatures conscious?
I said: Consciousness represents a state that distinguishes man from other creatures. Awareness of something that includes knowing it and what surrounds it and acting on it.
Awareness may be false awareness, when a person’s thoughts, views, and concepts do not match the reality around him.
It may be partial, when ideas and concepts are limited to a specific aspect or aspect and do not include all aspects, aspects and interrelated levels that affect and are affected by each other in the process of life development.
There is also the collective consciousness, which may dominate the subjectivity of the individual and make him part of an intellectual formation from which he cannot escape, such as religiosity to a particular religion or belonging to an ideological group. Rather, he may refuse to discuss his independent self as long as he is within the framework of collective consciousness, whose influence increases with the increase in the numbers of this group. And rooted and repeated his instructions and rituals…
The German philosopher Hegel says that man is the only being who is conscious of his self-existence. As for the other creatures, they only exist in one way, and they do not have the accumulation of knowledge or the transfer of experiences that make their awareness comprehensive of other beings, different times and accumulated experiences.. Man is always working to change things outside him, because he wants to see himself influencing the making of what is around him.
According to the French philosopher Descartes, doubt is what makes us surround ourselves. Thus, Descartes doubted everything, including his existence. It was only clearly ascertained to him that he could not doubt that he was thinking, since thinking is the only quality that has been with the self from the beginning. From thinking, we can intuitively realize the existence of the self; Thus Descartes was able to say: «I think .. therefore I exist». The self and thinking go hand in hand, so when the self stops thinking, it ceases to exist.
A young woman said: We heard you say that your studies in medicine and then your reading in philosophy and sciences, especially physics, elevated your awareness of God and the universe, but also your understanding of Sufism.
And her colleague said: Does this mean that knowledge and reason are a way to reach God?
I said: Let us first define the words and then discuss the matter.
Most Sufis differentiate between knowledge and science. Knowledge requires direct communication, and this means that knowing God is direct knowledge. The knower is man, and the known is God, and this knowledge is direct without mediation, except for the one who is known, which is God. As for the word “knowledge” for them, it is not correct to be synonymous with the word “knowledge”, because knowledge is based on sense first, then based on reason secondly. It is like the sentiments that are not known by the mind or something like the mind, but rather by the heart, and it is not derived from an experience or a book, but rather a knowledge of an inner experience, and a knowledge of the heart that knows and watches, because it is the one who has tasted and is the one who has achieved.
Likewise, some spiritual religions in the East agree with them, which speak of the possibility of the human self dissolving into the essence of God and merging with the whole universe.. They say that this cannot be proven by science, but rather the elevation of the soul and its ascension to superhuman degrees.
In fact, after the revolution in knowledge of quantum physics, I can say that the principle on which Sufism was based, which is that knowledge of the Creator is only emotional and has no scientific path, has become a questionable principle.
The young woman said: What do you mean, and what is quantum physics or quantum mechanics you are talking about?
I said: Quantum mechanics investigates the world of ultra-small and ultra-fast phenomena, and it is a group of physical theories that explain phenomena at the level of atoms and subatomic particles. It has combined the “particle” and “wave” properties to give rise to the term “wave-particle duality.”
Science and classical physics have known clues that were destroyed by the discovery of quantum physics. All sources of rational inference and the principle of causation, that is, every event has an event, and the lack of contradiction in science is dropped by the study of quantum physics and cancels all principles approved by science.
The intellectual content of what happens at the level of the electron, proton and quark defies the norm and raises concerns in the minds.
It has been proven that every particle inside the atom is a particle and a wave at the same time, which is known as “the duality of existence,” and that there is a so-called “quantum entanglement” that makes particles light-years away communicate, which makes Einstein’s theory that no speed exceeds the speed of light doubtful.

The theory of quantum physics also proves the possibility of changing the past with events that occur in the future, and it opens the door with scientific proof and scientific experiment for the possibility of probabilistic existence, meaning that all possibilities are possible at the same moment and in the same place for dual existence particles (as a particle and as a wave).
Since we now know that the basic building block for the composition of matter are quarks, which are infinitesimal particles, double existence as well, fluctuating all the time, meaning that the universe with all its components is pure energy…there are almost certain possibilities of the existence of universes parallel to ours, according to the possibilities of changing events.
Since all the components of the universe are one, including the human being, we are part of the whole, and the integration of self-existence with the rest of the creatures is a reality even if we are not aware of it.
Is this not the heart of the idea of dissolving in God and communicating with the Creator?
Everyone shares the origin.. Man is nothing but a small crime, in which the larger world is involved.
Man is the book that includes all the creatures of creation, in it is the body and soul, matter and energy, life and death, permanence and time… all at one time.
Man brings all contradictions together, he is the greatest cosmic miracle.
The theories of quantum physics and what they mean, although they still fall short of explaining consciousness, the soul and the soul, but they mean that science is coming, coming to open new horizons of knowledge, and does not make man more arrogant in himself, but rather pushes him to be more humble.
