Hi Mitch,
Great testimony and article. It’s not easy to address what some would say is borderline “esoteric” or spiritual with a scientific spirit.
I have made my own attempts following an “accident” I had about a year ago, which got me to the psychiatric emergency service in a hospital. Consciousness is something very mysterious, and our reality even more so.
If you’re interested, I also tried to “tie” some more spiritual concepts with science. Here are two articles which you might enjoy:
The Nature of Reality: deconstructing what we “think”of as being reality.
An article about non-existent time, which I think is the most important notion or concept to understand, and ties quite well with your idea of “infinite quantum possibilities” which are cemented to something material or determined via observation.
