Within the whole history of Buddhist thought, rDzogs-chen thinking presents the only outlook according to which the concept of an event without a cause makes sense. In this respect, it is remarkably similar to quantum physics, as the latter is gradually led by its own momentum in the direction from which rDzogs-chen started -- an inherently intelligent universe the dynamics of which we as human beings in one way or another present (not "represent"). To illustrate this rapprochement: Of late, quantum physics and cosmologists have felt bound to deal with the problem of God and have come to state intellectually what formerly had been accessible only to mystical experience. Thus, probably independently developing a suggestion by Erich Jantsch (1980, 308), Paul Davies (1983, 210) states, "This would not be a God who created everything by supernatural means, but a directing, controlling, universal mind pervading the cosmos and operating the laws of nature to achieve some specific purpose. We would describe this state of affairs by saying that the universe is a mind: a self-observing as well as self-organizing system." And Sir Fred Hoyle (1984) even speaks of an overall gestalt of intelligence or pure information. And so it seems, we have come full circle. Kun-tu bzangpo is not a creator (with or without the capital letter), he is the highest intensity of cognition, ecstasy in a dynamic perspective and not in a static sense; or, if a play of words be permitted, the "minding of mind" (Tib. sems-nyid); and his gestalt envisioned as Kun-tu bzang-po in intimate embrace with his consort Kun-tu bzang-mo reflects the inner tension as well as the harmony of intelligence-in-operation.
