There is so much more to life than what most of us were brought up to believe. An open -- but discerning -- mind is the foundation for all progress, personal and planetary.
For people who are ready to go beyond arguing for or against God's existence and settle the question through a direct experience. Describes how to increase your likelihood of experiencing God and what such an experience is like.
What do fundamentalist Christians have in common with scientific materialism? Do they share the same basic world view, namely that we are passive victims who are separated from the process that created us?
Do fundamentalist Christians and scientific materialists both feel threatened by new developments in the fields of science and spirituality? Are we actually passive victims or is there more to us?
Beginning with Einstein, the world view seeing us as separated from the material world has been systematically shattered. Is it possible that everything is interconnected at a very deep level and that this is the foundation for a new world view in which we are not passive victims?
Parallel with the discoveries of quantum physics, the self-help movement has developed a new approach to spirituality. The core is the recognition that we can change our material circumstances by changing our consciousness, something the human ego will vehemently deny.
Fundamentalist Christianity and scientific materialism have both created closed mental boxes that hold back human progress. The new physics and the new spirituality look beyond these boxes by building on the discovery of quantum physics that our consciousness can interact with matter.
People in the fields of both science and spirituality are beginning to realize that we co-create our own circumstances. This is the first time in human history that we are beginning to take full responsibility for our situation and acknowledge our true role as co-creators.
This is a very exciting time to be alive because of the ongoing shift in our collective consciousness. You have a choice to make. You can place yourself with the people who are resisting change or with those who embrace change. The change is happening right now. You can be a part of it or apart from it.
Is it possible to have an intelligent discussion about science and religion, or is such a debate doomed to be taken over by extremists on both sides and descend into name-calling by those who think the ultimate argument is four-letter words? Has scientific materialism restricted scientific progress as fundamentalism has restricted spiritual progress? Is there value in having a dialogue between open-minded people in the fields of science and spirituality?
Prominent atheists claim religion is the main cause of war, but religion is not the only factor that motivates people to kill each other. Is the real cause the human ego that creates "utterly dogmatic systems of thought" and then will do anything to defend them?
If you are a materialist, the only logical conclusion is that the evolutionary process produced religion—or at least our tendency to "invent" religion. Thus, it makes no sense for materialists to tell religious people to stop being religious—how can we go against our biology?
