Wholeness - From Advaita Vedanta to Quantum Physics

Wholeness – From Advaita Vedanta to Quantum Physics
The concept of ‘Wholeness’ or ‘Oneness’ is more than 2000 years old, from Greek philosophers in the western civilization to the Vedic scholars in the eastern civilization. So, the debate over mind (Consciousness) and matter is not new. These concepts were broadly classified under Monism (in Greek ‘monos’ means single) and Dualism.

Monism and Dualism from Ancient Greek Philosophers
The term monism was first used by a German philosopher Christian Wolff (1679-1754) even though the philosophies dates back to Ancient Greek philosophers, and notable among them is Parmenides, who viewed matter and mind as a single entity. According to Monism the ultimate reality is made up of matter or mind (Consciousness) or a third substance or a combination of all.

In Hinduism Advaita Vedanta subscribes to Substantival Monism emphasizing the atomicity of the mind and the matter while in Buddhism all things are part of a connected world. Creationist philosophy supported the belief where God (Consciousness) and the creature (matter) is considered as two separate entities and God is the supreme and ‘Idealism’ is the only monism which is theologically acceptable.
