I try to make it a habit to listen to an audio book while driving during my daily commute. It’s amazing how many books you can get through when you’re stuck in the car for at least an hour a day.

Some of my recent trading psychology reading has led me to how the world of science (specifically, the field of quantum mechanics) and eastern religions thousands of years old could reach startling similar views on how the world works.

‘The Dancing Wu-Li Masters’ and ‘The Holographic Universe’ make for a good introduction to the science side of things, while also trying to bridge to the gap to our own inate spirituality. Even though I had done Physics to A-level in school, which must have touched on some basic quantum mechanics (not that I really remember) it was incredibly fascinating to revisit the world of atoms, energy states and the mind-bending nature of reality at the microscopic level.

I always endevour to gaze at the stars when I take our dog, Kerby, out for his final walk at night. To look into the infinite that is all around us. Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity deals with the basic postulate that the speed of light is the same for all observers, no matter what their relative speeds. To think that from my point of view, the light picked up by my retinas while I gaze at the stars has taken hundreds of years to reach across the vast emptiness of space. From the point of view of a photon that makes up that light, its journey from the star to my eye is instantaneous. The duality of circumstances like these is pretty awe inspiring.
