Role of Quantum Physics in Transpersonal Psychology

The three major schools of thought on the origin of consciousness are neuroscientists, sceptics, and quantum physicists. The quantum school explains consciousness using quantum theories, claiming that consciousness has a quantum origin, is non-local, and is created from vibrating entities that can have multiple versions depending on the observer's perception. Although most traditional psychology schools use the neuroscientist model, the quantum consciousness model has recently received a lot of attention because it can be used to support more metaphysical paradigms of psychology, such as metapsychology and transpersonal psychology which recognize the dualistic nature of the human (spiritual and physical). Although the quantum consciousness model is not well understood or accepted by traditional psychologists, it does provide a multidimensional view of the human being that may explain the complex human consciousness that is still a mystery to most of us who are fascinated by the creativity and wonderful power of the human mind.
