Yep ... just read something by Richard Dawkins (the evolutionary biologist)
that was viscously funny about the many new age books that mangle eastern
mysticism with modern physics (you know the type ... "Quantum" healing,
etc., etc.) ... he said, in essence, that the underlying formula was
something like this ... "Hhhmmm, quantum mechanics are mysterious and hard
to understand, eastern mystics have always been mysterious and hard to
understand, therefore quantum physics must be related to eastern mysticism
...". Tee Hee, -JRC
