This article introduces a non-Western approach to mind and creativity, an approach inspired by the notion of sahrdaya (the appreciative critic) found in the Indian tradition of aesthetics known as rasa. The rasa tradition is preoccupied with a virtual reality governed by the principle of non-duality (advaita), which we illuminate with another virtual reality—as formulated by the mathematical principle of symmetry in quantum mechanics. Far reaching implications of the principle of symmetry/non-duality for psychology in general, and psychology of creativity in particular, are explored.
