Truly see the Universe...

To truly see the universe that God gives us, we must take, at least a small look, at Physics (Quantum Mechanics).

As we look at our inter-self, we need to look at our inter-world. Yes looking into the stars and the wonderful mystery of life within the universe is a breathtaking enjoyment. However, we need not to just look outside, but deep inside.
Carl Jung wrote, “The psychological rule says when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not became conscious of his inner contradictions; the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposite halves.”
The Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Wolfgang Pauli, put it like this, “From an inner center the psyche seems to move outward, in the sense of an extraversion, into the physical world…
If they are right, then physics is the study of the structure of consciousness.

The descent downward from the macroscopic level to the microscope level, which we have been calling the realm of the very small, is a two-step process. The first step downward is to the atomic level.
The smallest object that we can see, even under a microscope, contains millions of atoms. To see the atom in a baseball, we would have to make the baseball the size of the earth. If a baseball were the size of the earth, its atoms would be about the size of grapes. If you can picture the earth as a huge glass ball filled with grapes, that is approximately how a baseball full of atoms would look.
The step downward from the atomic level takes us to the subatomic level. Here we find the particles that make up atoms. The difference between the atomic level and the subatomic level as the great as the difference between the atomic level and the world of sticks and rocks. It would be impossible to see the nucleus of an atom the size of a grape. In fact, it would be impossible to see the size of the nucleus of an atom the size of a room. To see the nucleus of an atom, the atom would have to be as high as a fourteen-story building would be about the size of a grain of salt. Since a nuclear particle has about 2,000 times more mass than an electron, the electrons revolving around this nucleus would be about as massive as dust particles!
Now let us just stop and think about this for a minute. Again, we must take, at least a small look, at Physics (Quantum Mechanics).

This made no sense to me. I understand your break down of quantum mechanics but do not see the connection you are making about quantum mechanic and self enlightment.
