Zen, Yoga, Meditation and Trading

:) Time and space are illusions? But something must coordinate everything we see etc.

Maya illusion http://www.hinduwebsite.com/maya.htm
Another corruption of eastern esoteric science, maya is not illusion, it is an extremely small and focused aspect of reality... all is one, so by definition what we perceive as physical reality must be an aspect of that ultimate reality
 
There are some theories that the "out there" is a projection and that we are hypnotized by it. Maybe it´s wrong but does not Quantum Physics suggest this can be so?

Yes.."The eternal atman is entrapped within successive temporary bodies made of matter (prakriti). "

Quantum physics is in it's infancy and barely understood by it's own experts, esoteric lore is millenia ahead of science, for instance the knowledge that the universe is an expression of the absolute's own awareness is thousands of years old, but only in the past few decades have scientists been heard to claim that the universe begins to look like a giant thought... the guys in white lab coats have some serious catching up to do. they are still trying to work out if the universe ends in a big crunch or expands forever... those who have studied the occult sciences know it will be the big crunch... I think the easterners refer to it as the in breath and out breath of Brahma
 
You can understand why Buddha decided to stay away from all this crap.

While science (misrepresented here) eats the myths out from under most religions the basic stuff that Buddha said just makes more and more sense.
 
Perhaps the rah-rah quantum stuff is an attempt to placate the monkey mind.

Plain zen is boring in the way plain charts are boring... just crying out for bells and whistles.

Science does a good enough job of misrepresenting itself without any help from us, the minute they can all actually come to a consensus on a theory it is superseded by another... dont look to science for ultimate truth... you'll just get another temporary theory
