uncertainty

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the act of observation disturbs what is observed so that what is observed cannot be known for certain (if you observe the position, you cannot know the momentum, and vice versa). We seem to be disturbers of the Cosmos. How can we develop, open to a different process of observation so that we can truly see? Or is it more likely the case that this is our role? The uncertainty we help create allows room for new creation, for creativity. All our observations are fraught with uncertainty, though many, perhaps most of us pretend otherwise.
