William A. Tiller and a new paradigm in Physics and Mathematics

Posted on Mar 10th, 2007 by dragpa gyaltsen : Interpreter of Emptiness dragpa gyaltsen
Yesteday I posted, in the WIE Pod, a request that William A. Tiller be invited as
a featured guest of WIE Magazine as I believe that his work is of paramount importance. The implications of his work (unless suppressed) to the fields of medicine, global peace and conciliation between waring/fueding populations, Information Technologies, and Physics and Mathematics in Generel (and MUCH more) will, IMO, be revolutionary.

I’ve recently had the opportunity to begin to study, at length, the work of William A. Tiller, Professor Emeritus of Materials Science at Stanford, and author of:

1. Conscious Acts of Creation

2. Science and Human Transformation: Subtle Energies, Intentionality and Consciousness

3. Some Science Adventures with Real Magic

Tonight, at the WIE Salon in DC, hosted by Robert Heinzman, I had the opportunity to share why I feel that Tiller’s work is of vital importance to the movement to further the conscious evolutionary process for the benefit of all beings–a ‘Divine Compulsion’ which I share and which WIE and Andrew Cohen embodies.

Tiller has managed to accumulate an impeccably crafted body of experimental data, as well as a mathematical model and physics, that substantiates that human intention and consciousness are an integral component of reality and which can affect matter and energy in a robust fashion.

The priesthood of scientific materialism can choose to ignore his, and his colleagues, work; however, they cannot dismiss him out of hand and brush him off as a quack, nut, and charlatan.

To my knowledge, Tiller’s work is unique in that this is the first time that a ‘card carrying’ member of the ‘priesthood’ of scientific materialism, has used their very ‘sacraments’ (mathematics and physics) as tools to repudiate the priesthood’s own, mythological, assertions. Moreover, Tiller and his colleagues have developed a competing frame of reference that ‘transcends and includes’ scientific work to date, yet integrates, and is consistent with, Tiller’s experimental findings and those of other investigators, as well as with the knowledge and spiritual traditions of millennia of human experience.

In my opinion, William Tiller’s work will begin to act as an inexorable ‘wedge’ that will act to splinter the buttressed mythological adherence to a purely materialist, ‘frisky dirt’, frame of reference and lead to the advent of new, and rigorous, research–by a new generation of scientists–into the nature of ‘reality’, that accounts for consciousness and human intention. Such can only, then, cause to accelerate mankind’s arrival at a ‘critical mass’ consensus that physical, conventionally measurable, reality operates in tandem with a reciprocal and equally real mirror of our ordinary physical reality, all within the context of emotion, mind, and spirit. Within such a model, we are all intrinsically inter-dependent, inter-related, and fundamentally non-dual.

The sooner mankind arrives at a critical mass, of the global population, which internalizes such a world view as their own–especially the subset of that population which consists of the leadership elements of NGOs, Governments, and Businesses–the sooner mankind can reliably act in a fashion that will protect, heal, and nurture the entire system (having realized ourselves to be non-dual with the system itself) rather than to continue, as we are today, to act to destabilize, and threaten to destroy, the very systems that make our own individual lives possible on this planet.

Ken Wilber’s work has been instrumental in rehabilitating the ‘Spiritual’ (recovering the baby thrown out with the bath water) in the face of the post modern attack on the traditions and their myths of the given. Conversely, I will submit that William Tiller is being equivalently instrumental in rehabilitating the ‘Spiritual’ in the face of 400 years of attack from scientific materialism.

René Descartes was instrumental in the differentiation between philosophy, science, and religion; and as such, provided a great service to the evolution of human consciousness by allowing each of these disciplines to further evolve independently. However, it is tragic that rather than to then transcend and include the fruits of this differentiation into a new, emergent, and higher synthesis of these individual disciplines, the world was thrust into 400 years of violent competition and dissociation between these very same disciplines; each erroneously claiming the entirety of truth onto themselves.

I believe that the world is now poised to begin to reintegrate these great disciplines of philosophy, science, and religion into a higher, emergent, synthesis. Ken Wilber and Andrew Cohen are exemplars from the fields of Philosophy and Religion (Though Ken also has a strong grounding in science) who have contributed, along with many others, towards this point. However, unless I’m mistaken (and please correct me if I am) I’ve yet to see any exemplar from the fields of Physics and Mathematics, that have contributed a formal, near complete, and paradigm breaking: theoretical physics model, body of experimental data, and mathematics, that contributes to this monumental task of reintegration, as has William A. Tiller.

Therefore, I urge WIE to invite William A. Tiller as a featured guest of WIE.
