It is a compelling narrative, rich in detail, filled with historical and scientific references as well as personal anecdotes, through which Riccardo successfully guides the reader through the quantum universe: superposition, entanglement, quantum collapse, all…

Federico Faggin, bridge between science and spirituality

Federico Faggin, bridge between science and spirituality

Italian version “When we fully understand quantum physics, we’ll be able to unite science and spirituality. In a nutshell, we’ll understand the meaning of life.”This is the closing line of the documentary “Federico Faggin, the Man Who Saw the Future,” available on Raiplay. Hearing it gave me a sense of satisfaction, because the desire to unite science and spirituality is one of the driving forces behind the creation of esperienzedivalore.it. Federico Faggin isn’t very well known. I, too, must frankly…

The book “Spontaneous evolution” by Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhaerman

The book “Spontaneous evolution” by Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhaerman

Italian version I read Bruce Lipton’s first book about twenty years ago. I consider it one of the books that profoundly changed my view of the world and of life (read the article The book “The biology of belief” by Bruce Lipton).In 2011, I heard that Bruce Lipton was coming to Italy and that I would have the chance to hear him speak in Bellaria, where a two-day conference was scheduled on his new book “Spontaneous Evolution“, co-authored with Steve…

Buddhism, set theory and entanglement

Buddhism, set theory and entanglement

Italian version One of the principles of Soka Gakkai Buddhism is the mutual inclusion of a single moment of life with all phenomena. This principle is also found in other forms of Buddhism and in other typically Eastern schools of thought. It means that our phenomenal world is deeply interconnected, both in space and in time.The term “mutual inclusion” reminded me of set theory, which I learned in primary school. A set A is said to include a set B…

Systems theory, psychotherapy and Buddhism

Systems theory, psychotherapy and Buddhism

Italian version Lately, I have often found myself reflecting on the similarities between fields of knowledge that we tend to consider distant from one another. This article aims to explore the similarities between the concept of impulse response in systems theory, the ABC system in cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, and the principle of cause and effect in Soka Gakkai Buddhism. The figure immediately shows the essence of the analogy. The concept of impulse response is a key principle of systems theory, with…

The religiosity of Albert Einstein

The religiosity of Albert Einstein

Italian version Albert Einstein can be considered the most important scientist of the twentieth century. His genius gave birth to revolutionary ideas in the understanding of the nature of light, culminating in the 1921 Nobel Prize for his studies on the photoelectric effect, and with the two formulations of the theory of general and special relativity. Although his studies and scientific discoveries are accessible to only a small audience, there is evidence of Einstein’s worldview that elevates him to a…

Science and spirituality: the Tao of physics

Science and spirituality: the Tao of physics

Italian version There is a widespread belief that science and spirituality deal with distinct aspects of reality. The scientific method explains phenomena to us rigorously, through theoretical formulations found by repeatable experiments. Instead, spirituality is the domain of philosophical and religious traditions, whose statements, however, are not based on laws that can be demonstrated through experiments. Although I am a person with a purely logical and mathematical way of reasoning, reinforced by my engineering degree, as I progressed into adulthood…

The book “The biology of belief” by Bruce Lipton

The book “The biology of belief” by Bruce Lipton

Italian version A few days ago, a psychotherapist told me that all our behaviors have a purpose. We all act according to goals and beliefs that guide our actions, more or less consciously. This is not just about high-level beliefs, such as religious beliefs or convictions based on our morality or our view of life. Even our emotional and behavioral patterns are based on certain beliefs that we could define as “biological,” that is, convictions and thought constructs that we…

Science and spirituality: Heartmath

Science and spirituality: Heartmath

Italian version As anticipated in Different bodies same mind, I dedicate today’s article to http://www.heartmath.org, found a decade ago in one of my web explorations. I was intrigued by a statement related to my studies in signal theory: certain characteristics of the electrical signal associated with the heartbeat are closely related to the state of our psychophysical well-being, with particular effect on reducing the state of stress. In the introduction available at this link we read “For more than 34…
