When a physicist meets a Buddhist Master
November 2025Last month I had the privilege of following Marcus Schmieke, the inventor of TimeWaver (my coaching tool), on his 10-day tour in China promoting this revolutionary technology.
The trip was full of meetings and lectures, but one moment stood out.
It happened in a Buddhist Monastery, where Marcus and the Resident Buddhist Master sat together — one speaking from quantum physics and the information field, the other from decades of spiritual practice.
Different traditions, different languages, yet somehow the same understanding about the fabric of existence, the awareness beneath our experience, and the quiet intelligence woven through all of life.
I supported with translation here and there, but the deeper part of their exchange didn’t seem to rely on words. There was a natural ease between them, as if they were looking at the same truth from opposite angles.
What struck me most was how effortlessly their worlds met.
But then again, Marcus spent twelve years as a monk in India studying Vedic scriptures before stepping into quantum research and inventing TimeWaver. The bridge between science and spirituality is built into his life story, so their meeting felt less like a contrast and more like a reunion.
Watching the two of them, it was hard not to notice how close these domains actually are.
- Science nudging toward the same insights ancient traditions have explored for centuries.
- Spirituality offering the depth and context that science is only now beginning to articulate.
Before the Buddhist statues, the divide between science and spirituality dissolved. They were the same conversation spoken in different accents.
