Course Syllabus

Week 1 – Introduction to Quantum Psychology

• A Computer Scientist's insights into Psychoanalysis.

• A Psychotherapist's challenge of clinical relevance.

• A Magic Trick illustrating construction of an alternate reality.

• The context of an observation conditions its perception.

• An alternative reality is constructed whenever we change the context of the questions we ask about it.

• An alternative reality is perceived as a true reality.

• The objects and events in a perceived reality form a self referential loop that bridges mind and matter.

• The language of reality is not matter, nor is it energy. Rather it is information.

• Information feedback loops functioning at the quantum level create both mind and matter.

• The object models of the mind and the objects in an objective reality exist in perfect synchronicity because they share the same self-referential parents.

• The characteristics of the language of information exchange between the objects of mind and matter are described by the Object Oriented Programming Systems (OOPS) of Computer Science.
