Aha !  There is another view which in my opinion is very tenable.

What the Heisenberg principle shows, and what Bee's post re-affirms, is that
the universe is NOT materialistically determined.  HPB said the same thing.

MIND is what has a huge impact on matter and the course of evolution.  One
can look at these experiments in quantum physics and be very impressed by the
fact that HPB knew and discussed this decades before the actual proof came to
us WEsterners.

Namely, that it is by taking note of an event -- observing it -- that it
becomes fully formed.  Thus MIND is the definitive factor in the
manifestation of reality.

In my opinion, this is exactly what the SECRET DOCTRINE teaches, and all the
more reason to see value in that work.
