I also come from a physics background and have a longtime interest in things metaphysical. Like many, I have an unquenchable thirst for figuring out how the Universe functions.
My current and ever changing world view is made up of an integration of "acceptable" science with the unproven kooky stuff by what feels right to me. Intuitive reasoning is just as powerful if not more so than reading "proof" from a scientific journal.
On a recent PBS special with Dr. Wayne W. Dyer he expounded on the origins of all matter as energy originating from an absolute source.
One comment he made was:
"As you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change"
I had read this previously in a metaphysical book from the 1920's and many other places in the form of a "think positive" kind of attitude, but it is now apparently a scientific fact as scientists observe the smallest sub-quarks, pions, muons or whatever the hell they are currently called, the behaviour of the particles will actually be affected by the observation of them.
Fascinating stuff
