quantum

in quantum physics, the very act of observation alters the supposedly objective reality that is being observed. the observer fundamentally creates reality by observing it, and how we look determines the phenomena that we perceive. Until an observer sees an atom, the atom occupies an infinite number of possible outcomes simultaneously. Upon observation, all of these possibilities collapse into a single reality....
tantric practitioners apply a similar principle to alter and expand their view of reality,
to free it from the reference point of an observing subject. by altering states of consciousness
through ritual and meditation, adepts manifest latent, simultaneous realities, beyond the
bounds of conventional perception.
