Heuristic Remarks

Although guidance in transit is an essential and popular application of buddhist science throughout the galaxy, researchers in quantum-theory and mentographics have remained skeptical of buddhist claims to have empirically validated the theory of mere relativity of what is consensually known as ‘reality.’ Even though many theorists such as Bohm, Sarfatti, and Paul-Sirag have postulated concurrence with buddhist theory, this suggestion has not found wide acceptance among the scientific community, which operates under the assumption that quantum theory describes a singular, although highly unpredictable, reality. However, evidence now suggests a correlation of buddhist views concerning the relativity (sunyata) of all phenomena, the lack of any exhaustively specifiable and unvarying mode of being, with the basic conclusions of quantum theory, which discovers a fundamental uncertainty (Heisenberg) in all descriptions of space-time events. Also, the buddhist category of relative phenomena may be re-formulated mathematically in line with Gödel’s theorem, as necessarily incomplete conceptually—that is, without conceptual boundary. As the use of instrumentation is generally eschewed in the buddhist approach to research, this has apparently been interpreted in the scientific community as a lack of proper control in empirical study. However, as quantum theory demands that "objective" measurement is itself engaged in the activity of subjective phenomena, the buddhist approach to empirical study of internal phenomena may not be dismissed out of hand. It is necessary to make an optimum use of present technology to simulate buddhist empirical methodology. Such an approach could provide numerous important applications in the field of mentography, as illustrated by this present research in guidance for transit.
