Sorry, couldn't resist.  :-)


I really enjoyed the book "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" when I read it 10 
years ago or so.  I think there are a number of books of the same ilk 
that try to tie quantum mechanics to things like consciousness or 
mysticism.  It's interesting but from what I've seen there isn't 
anything like a "solid theory of consciousness" that's got any 
scientific rigor to it.   But my data is about 10 years old.  Things do 
change.
