TANTRA AND WAVES AND PARTICLES from Mysticicm and the New Physics Michael Talbot

the hindu concepts of nada and bindu are identical to the concept of matter being both a wave and a particle. when brahma creates matter, nada is the first produced movement in the ideating cosmic consciousness. bindu means a point. when matter is viewed as separate from consciousness, it can be seen as made up of many bindu and objects appear to be extended in space. however, when matter is more accurately perceived as being projected by consciousness, physical objects no longer possess many three-dimensional points in space. everything collapses to one dimension and becomes a single point bindu. pratyagatmananda wrote that every object or process has to be studied nadawise and binduwise (as a wave and a particle).

the tantras assert that the universe may be considered an emanation of the mind. the appearance that it is physical and objective is mahayama, the greatest illusion. but the universe is not a projection of only one mind. each of us contributes to the creation of the projection.
