Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

I dread the day that poi becomes something such as waltzing or any other dance form that you have a limited amount of moves you can do and there is no creativity.

Contact without dance is like sex without wiggling.
A) it does feel as good
B) it does not look as good on film

What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.

what can be done with poi doesnt change its a constant, when someone finds a new move for the first time this is not something new for poi, the move was always there and always able to be done it was something inside the individual that changed and their understanding of poi changed allowing them to do it

that the wave-particle duality of light is applicable to poi, where the poi are the particle function and the paths they make are the wave function.

Everytime we spin, we are, in essence, stepping or plugging into the probability wave, and our dance is both particle and wave.

And really, scientific questioning and spiritual questioning are two different methods of investigating the same questions.

Ben (may I address you as such?):
I'm still thinking through these ideas, but I shall endeavor to answer your questions as best I can. Your two questions are related, actually, so let's see if I can address them both at once:
The wave-particle duality I think can be applied to poi quite literally. This is perhaps best illustrated when thinking about the trails we take pretty pictures of while spinning lights or fire. When you observe the spin -- the dance -- you see the patterns of the lights. Those patterns are caused by the poi as they move through the probability wave which is the space the spinner enters into when spinning. Quite literally the physical space around the spinner's body (and perhaps, also, the conscious awareness of that space held in the spinner's mind) That space contains every possible path and combination of paths the poi can make, but what's illuminated are those paths through which the poi actually move during that particular spin. So when observing the trails, we are seeing the wave function at work -- those parts of the probability wave that are illuminated. We are seeing the "energy field or wave-form of possible locations." When shifting the focus of our observation away from the wave function, that is when we want to pinpoint location, we see the "solid little energy particle(s) located in a particular spot" -- that would be the poi themselves. The body of the spinner could also be considered a "particle" in this thinking -- or maybe something else, as it's the conduit through which the energy is flowing? Not sure there.
Anyway, I hope that provides some further illumination to what I'm trying to get at.
Thanks for the book suggestion; I am heading out for my lunch break right now and will see if the neighborhood bookshop carries it. Have you read the Quantum Self? It's an application of quantum theory ideas to psychology and the development of consciousness. Also an interesting read.
