The Intersection of Science and Religion
There
is a burgeoning movement throughout the world to bring religion,
spirituality and science closer together by focusing on the beliefs and
knowledge they all share in common. QH provides the very bedrock for the
foundation of this much sought-after convergence. One day QH may be
recognized as the meeting place where many diverse scientific
disciplines and religions come together based on points of concurrence
and consensus. Consider, for example, the following core beliefs
embraced by most religions and compare these to the theoretical
postulates and observations stated above by the scientists doing QH
research:
Most believe in a single creator who created the universe and all
things; in an afterlife and an eternal human soul; in the power of
prayer and/or meditation; in accountability in the afterlife for one’s
earthly actions; most advocate loving others unconditionally and
selfless service to others; and most advocate the “Golden Rule” or some
close variation of it.
By making this comparison, it seems axiomatic that there is great
potential for a powerful convergence to take place between religion,
spirituality and science. In fact, it seems inevitable that this will
occur either in a revolutionary manner, triggered by some major
breakthrough discovery, or in a slower evolutionary manner through a
long-term course of events with this as the end result.
Just as modern Homo Sapiens functionally evolved from ancient
Neanderthal man, so too must modern man evolve to the next level of
further sophistication and refinement, and by inference his civilization
too. Evolution is nature’s intrinsic mandate, built into the core innate
programming of all things. All of creation must either perish or
constantly evolve. There is no other alternative.
Sometimes evolution occurs voluntarily by choice prompted by invention,
discovery or epiphany. Other times, evolution occurs involuntarily,
forcibly and painfully where change is resisted and fought, but change
comes nevertheless through chaotic upheaval, disaster and cataclysmic
crises, often times involving a massive amount of death and destruction.
Sometimes, as in the case of Neanderthal man, nature decides total
extinction is necessary and a complete metamorphosis occurs as in the
emergence of Homo Sapiens, a species which surfaced suddenly upon the
mysterious disappearance of his predecessor, Neanderthal man.
The need to evolve is upon us once more. Indicators abound that time is
running out on modern Homo Sapiens. Nature is clearly losing patience
with our unsustainable practices. The clarion call is unmistakable:
Human beings must evolve or perish — we must swiftly evolve to the next
level by eradicating pervasive ignorance concerning who we really are
and why we are here, or face the extreme likelihood of mass death and
destruction, if not extinction all together.
Humankind’s next phase of evolution will be more an evolution in
thought, knowledge, spirituality and consciousness than one involving
our biology or physiology. It will likely be an evolution in
consciousness triggered by QH research involving dramatic change in
perceptions, values, beliefs and attitudes and a profound resultant
shift in human behavior. As a consequence of this shift, the “every man
for himself” paradigm fueled by greed will be supplanted by the “all for
one and one for all” paradigm fueled by a new spirit of altruism and
unity. Through QH research, predicated on credible science, peoples of
the world will come to understand that we really are only as strong as
our weakest link; that what we do to others we do to ourselves; and that
we are indeed our brother’s keeper quite literally. When this comes
about, it will be the dawn of a new day, and solutions to every other
major threat, problem or challenge we face will quickly find their
remedy, but certainly not before. To be sure, we must act quickly to
embark on our journey deeper into the quantum realm, for time is not on
our side.
