Arraya: Excellent post. I’m sure I’m preaching to the converted here (probably a malapropism, given the content and tenor of this discussion), but have you read any Fritjof Capra (“Tao of Physics”)?
I just finished his “Web of Life” and its good. A little skittish in the beginning, but then it cohered and was quite cogent. If you read any of his earlier stuff, I think you’d enjoy it.
Also, check out “The Dancing Wu-Li Masters” (Zukav), if you have a chance. You might want to fire up some Humboldt Homegrown at the same time, but its another good book connecting quantum physics to “other things” (I don’t want to say “spiritual” for fear of offending the close-minded).
