There is a physical subject of such functions and it is the logos of a being. Therefore we can refer to the logical space as the total sum of logi of being. The result of this position is that we can attribute to the wave function a physical meaning, a special case of logos of a being and also give an ontological meaning at a quantum field. The developed metaphysical scheme can interpret the quantum paradoxes, by using the commonly accepted mathematical formalism. It can also interpret certain issues of Quantum Field Theory, although further study of this topic is necessary

The result of such a synthesis is enrichment to the ontology of physics that enable us to have a unified view and an explanatory frame of the whole cosmos. It also enables us to overcome the Cartesian duality both on biology and the interaction of body and mind. Finally, one can reconstruct a new understanding of spiritual life and religion. The weirdness of quantum mechanics From the very beginning of quantum mechanics it was obvious that there was something absurd about it. A hundred years later, we are still speaking about quantum paradoxes. 1 There is a difference albeit; we now know that these paradoxes govern the way things are at the most fundamental level. The quantum paradox can be described with one phrase; Things in quantum world behave in a strongly different way than in our everyday world. 2 There is a loophole in our understanding of the (real) nature of the physical world. This is not the only one. There are also loopholes in our understanding of the nature of life and, even more, the nature of consciousness. There is also more weirdness about the special abilities of the inner world of human beings. Confronting this situation, we usually avoid the problem by dividing it in no compatible sections and dismissing all evidence not fitting to our bias 3 This vein of thinking helped a lot in

A line of thought represented among others by Julian Barbour, Roger Penrose and Lee Smolin seeks to construct the extended physical reality with the tools of physics and mathematics alone. Wolfram Schommers believes that basic physical reality goes beyond the image of reality that our brain forms and on this premise develops its own mode about reality. A large number of researchers, of all specialties, extends and deepens the study of the relationship between mind and physical reality by formulating a variety of scientific views, some of which are indeed impressive. All of these researchers introduce, in one way or another, an extended physical reality that has as a common denominator some kind of eternity from which temporality emerges by physical processes. In this sense, many religious experiences are the result of the structure of the physical world. Iain McGilchrist in The Master and His Emission, The Divided Brain and The Making of the Western World, gives us all the means to explain and interpret why the human brain, although coming in contact with and knowing this eternal reality, had to rediscover it through the language of mathematics and physics.
