The Influence of the Mind over Matter in Theravada Buddhism

Abstract

The mind comes into being and goes out of existence continuously, a trillion times per snap of one’s fingers, causing high-frequency ripple waves in the space surrounding the mind, according to the Time-Space theory. In Double-slit experiments, materials in duality states of waves or particles transform themselves into waves upon passing through the double slits. However, if they are observed, they will maintain their particle state. This means that mind-generated waves can interfere with particulate waves. The mind therefore may influence larger material objects as all material objects are composed of particles.
