Who or What is GOD ?

The laws of physics have conspired to make collisions of atoms produce plants, trees, animals and humans. In fact, these laws produced collections of atoms that don’t just obey Newton’s laws in a passive way. Some jump, mate, run and think. The laws of physics working through Darwin’s natural selection has produced these gigantic collections of apparently purposeful beings who look as though they have been designed. Once Darwin determined how to get complicated designed beings from the simplest of forms, he gave us an intellectual foothold to begin to see a process that we refer to as evolution. We know since 1859 how this all happens.

Math and science use principle centered, complex frameworks to describe and understand phenomena at all scales of time and space. Reality on the other hand operates at all intervals simultaneously. Our existence as we see it, is an illusion.

“We are spirit having human experiences not the other way around”.

A starving child, longing for food, has no clock to measure the movement of the sun and the earth around their shared center of mass. Looking down from my high-rise in Chicago I often look over the 100s of people mulling about on the beach, each existing from a particular point; their own universe if you will. A fly’s eyes have hundreds of different facets. It is able to detect the briefest flickers of movement perceiving reality under a completely different guise then we humans.The mind of an Alzheimer’s patient cannot use the human construct of time. For such a person, the chronology of existence is broken, living without the element of time or memory to assist in formulating their reality. Time is an illusion as is space.

There is a disconnect between our subjective impressions and observations of time and the universal time that can only be perceived by a God. In my work, I attempt to describe this using contemporary quantum theory as a general thesis or foundation. Having an understanding of the universal synchronicity that connects us at every scale of time and space will allow us to be more sensitive to our interconnected universe - a cosmic Jello that is both sub-atomic and vast. Because its nature changes with the size of the phenomenon being observed and the observer, we must begin to realize that there are multiple universes or realities going on all the time.

Using Quantum theory to prove the non-existence of God is not man’s ultimate challenge. Indeed, in order to prove God did not exist, we would need to have the kind of universal, all-seeing perspective that only a God can possess. But we can refine our definition. We can use what we know to be true to formulate a new story that places us at the helm as we navigate the waters of life in the natural.

Why is this a crucial point for human kind to evolve?

As I reviewed ancient theological texts and cross-referenced them with modern quantum theory the correlation became obvious. As I interviewed generations of Tibetan Monks while at the Lama Temple in Beijing China it became evident that the life we live is the story we tell ourselves. Part of this story evolves from our consciousness; the way we see ourselves and the universe we live within. Jesus Christ, The Buddha, Lao Tzu, The Dalia Lama, Rumi and other spiritual leaders are all pointing to a star that holds the answer for us manifesting the absolute best life that we can live while here in the natural. Quantum mechanics illustrates how god works but only to a limited degree. Darwin started this process and gave us a foothold, but it is now up to us to expand our consciousness beyond the human constructs of time and space; beyond the materialistic perspective we have inherited.

What is the story you are telling yourself? How does this story keep you stuck, fearful, angry and arguing for more of the same? Why unendingly fight with your spouse or continue to fund a lawsuit that will get you nowhere in the end. Are you a beggar? Are you begging for the next life situation, person, or thing to maintain the illusion of happiness? Are you looking to others to make you happy? Do others need to change in order for you to be happy? Change this story to one that starts from gratitude, openness and love. Engage the universal energy that creates worlds from nothingness. Begin each human transaction by giving thanks and paying it forward. Watch how your life expands and you attract more and more of the same. Love begets love; positive thoughts manifest themselves in positive life situations. The opposite is also true. Observe your thoughts, be humble, be open, be gracious.

Can Quantum Physics Explain God?

Theology and science were never good bedfellows — until recently.

Last week, we talked about the role religion played historically and why it may be failing us at this point in our evolution. Using science, it appears we can now explain how we interact with God (the universe) through our thoughts. Ancient biblical text, through its rituals, taught us to pray, to chant, to meditate in order to ask God to manifest our desires. Now, it is clear that there is a boundary between science and philosophy, between reality and fantasy. That boundary is Quantum Mechanics. Quantum Mechanics is the steppingstone between ourselves and the Universe, between what we want and making it actually happen in the natural.

Photons

It all starts with the photon, that little corpuscle of light. A photon is a packet of energy of a given wavelength; light of certain wavelengths we can see. Thus red, blue, yellow are all visible wavelengths to us, while infrared, ultraviolet and gamma rays are not. From here, a scientist named Max Planck defined an equation to describe the energy of light. He said that a given photon’s energy is equal to its frequency times a constant named after him, that we call Planck’s Constant. This simply formula is written as E = h v, where “h” is Planck’s constant, and “v” is the photon’s frequency. Planck’s constant being a very small number, being equal to 6.63 x 10 ^-34 Joule-seconds, so we can expect the energy of a single photon to likewise be equally tiny. But remember that in a given beam of light there are far more photons than there are blades of grass in your backyard.

Albert Einstein Does Not Like Quantum Mechanics

Now, something else that figures in here was actually contributed by one of Quantum Mechanic’s biggest detractors, Albert Einstein. He said that energy and matter are the same thing, that all matter is comprised of energy. His equation is the even more famous, E=mc^2, where “m” is an object’s mass and “c^2” means the speed of light squared. So all matter — you, me, this post you’re reading, the computer you’re reading it on — is made up of energy. But what is energy? Well, Einstein went on to say that light is, in fact, a very small particle with the energy described by Planck’s equation, so energy in it’s purest form is carried by photons of light. Thus, we are all of us made up of constrained light.

We speak of light like as if it is a particle, even as we say that photons are discrete packets of energy. But light has a wavelength, which makes it a wave. So is it particle or wave? The answer is both. Thus we have two of the basic precepts of Quantum Mechanics. The first: Energy is not a continuous stream, but actually a stream of discrete, if very small, units that we call quanta. The second is that photons behave both like particles and like waves. It sounded pretty weird at first, but as people thought it over they realized that it did explain why electrons are found only in certain energy levels.

Energy makes up matter, electrons are a form of matter, so electrons are made up of energy, which means photons. Light being comprised of streams of individual particles then forces electrons to inhabit only specific energy levels when in orbit around the nucleus of an atom. When an electron gives up or receives energy, it is doing so in the form of giving up or receiving photons of light (of which it is comprised). Since photons are seen to come in discrete packets and not continuous streams of energy, then an electron is limited to exchanging energy solely in multiples of these minimal packets of energy; no fractional amounts of a single photon are allowed. When in orbit around the nucleus of an atom, then, if an electron is to move closer to or farther away from the nucleus (i.e., raise or lower its energy), it can do so only in multiples of a photon’s energy. This translates into there being very specific energy levels that an electron can obtain in orbit around the nucleus. It’s like the steps on a ladder: You can’t climb up half a step. The steps would be the energy levels and the spacing between the steps determined by the size of a photon.

This insistence on discrete energy levels dictates how atoms interact with one another, which forms the chemistry of bulk matter — everything from the stars to ourselves. So it can be seen that the nature of the very littlest of things can have a tremendous impact on everything else, on the nature of our reality. The formation of matter in our reality is, at its essence, the result of brain waves.

Thoughts = energy
Energy = matter
Thoughts = matter

Our thoughts are the language of the universe — the frequency of our thoughts, not the words that we use to describe our thoughts. The Universe/God sends us back exactly what we are asking for. It is not listening to our words though, only our brain waves. The universe does not judge; it simply returns what we are projecting out with our brain waves. These waves can be measured and represent our consciousness. It is our consciousness that creates our world in the natural. Hence, for the first time in the history of man, ask and it shall be given is a biblical truism that can be explained using Quantum theory.

What Happens To Us After We Die?

Peter Baksa

Investigative Journalist/Entreprenuer/Author of ‘The Point of Power’

Emerson wrote “Our life is not so much threatened as our perception. I grieve that grief can teach me nothing, nor carry me one step into real nature.”

Stephen Hawking many many years ago posited that “black holes” were actually able to make energy disappear.

Many of us interested in the topic gasped at the idea, since everything that we know about the universe suggests that energy never goes away. Mr Hawking, after many years of debate, finally gave in and agreed; energy is not actually eaten in a black hole, and furthermore that energy cannot disappear. Like water, it simply changes form but remains in different form, but always present. Like water from the ocean, to the cup, to the clouds, into rain, back to its source, the ocean.

Many believe that we die at some point since we associate ourselves with body or ego more strongly then with our true self — spirit. We are spiritual beings having human experiences, not the other way around. Our bodies do decompose and return to the earth just like water. We also always return to our source.  We are energy. Some have suggested that our spirit is in reality an electromagnetic holographic field that stores information gathered in each life experience that we go through.

Death does not exist in any real sense. Although individual bodies are destined to self-destruct, the feeling of being alive - the ‘Who am I?’- is just a 20-watt module of energy operating in the brain. But this energy doesn’t go away at death. One of the surest axioms of science is that energy never dies; it can neither be created nor destroyed. But does this energy transcend from one world to the other?

Quantum physics suggests that certain observations cannot be predicted absolutely. Instead, there is a range of possible observations each with a different probability. (see Schrodinger’s Cat) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat One mainstream explanation, the “many-worlds” interpretation, states that each possible observation corresponds to a different universe (the ‘multiverse’). A new scientific theory - called Biocentrism - refines these ideas. http://nirmukta.com/2009/12/14/biocentrism-demystified-a-response-to-deepak-chopra-and-robert-lanzas-notion-of-a-conscious-universe

There are an infinite number of universes, and everything that could possibly happen occurs in some universe. Death does not exist in any real sense in these scenarios. All possible universes exist simultaneously, regardless of what happens in any of them.

Consider an experiment that was published in the journal Science showing that scientists could retroactively change something that had happened in the past. Particles had to decide how to behave when they hit a beam splitter. Later on, the experimenter could turn a second switch on or off. It turns out that what the observer decided at that point, determined what the particle did in the past. That’s right….. like a time machine. Regardless of the choice, you the observe make, it is you who will experience the outcomes that will result. The linkages between these various histories and universes transcend our ordinary classical ideas of space and time. I believe this is where the concept of quantum entanglement comes into play. Entanglement is characteristic of a quantum state that is a combination of two systems (two subatomic particles) that once interacted but were then separated. Time and space are not material when discussing entanglement.

Think of the brain (or better yet 20-watts of energy) as simply holographically illustrating either this or that reality.  Whether you turn the second beam splitter on or off, it’s still the same battery (energy source) responsible for the projection. In Biocentrism, space and time are not the hard objects we think. Wave your hand through the air - what is left after you are done waving. Nothing. The same thing applies for time. You (spirit) can’t see anything through the bone that surrounds your brain. Everything you (spirit) sees and experiences right now is a whirlwind of information occurring in your mind with your eyes being the receptors of photon energy converted by the brain into data that the mind processes. Space and time are simply human constructs used to measure our perceptions. Death does not exist in a timeless, space less world.

Immortality doesn’t mean a perpetual existence in time without end, but rather resides outside of time altogether. Some refer to this as the Zero Point Field; a place where a system of entanglement of related particles take the place of time and space. In this Zero Point Field, there is no time, so there can be no death since death would require energy to be destroyed in the process. Who are we but energy/spirit…….. so we never really die.

Can We “IMAGINE” Ourselves Into A New Reality?

Henry David Thoreau in the mid-19th century at Walden Pond offered up:

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

Dreams and imagination are the paints, the colors, used to create the portrait we call life. Choose them wisely. We do this by observing and adjusting our thoughts to align with our intention.

Be willing to dream, and imagine yourself becoming all that you wish to be. Be open, be humble, and be gracious. If you live from those imaginings as though they have already come into existence, the universe will align with you in bringing all that you wish, even more. Elevating one’s ordinary level of consciousness, or what Thoreau calls “common hours.” means elevating the level of success that you will be able to attract. All that now exists was once imagined. It follows, that what you want to exist in the future must now be imagined.

The intensity of one’s intention becomes at issue when manifesting. When I was in Beijing, China living amongst the Tibet monks, studying at the Lama Temple I met with Erdijanzi, a Tibetan monk age 23. I asked Erdijanzi how much time he spent each day in meditation. He replied, “I do not know”. After a few minutes of cross examination I realized that in between questions the young monk went back to his Mala beads to quiet his mind. In doing so he was in essence, training his brain to become present. It occurred to me that any intention set over the top of this clean slate (brain wave) must effect the quality and the velocity of the intention. This process would eliminate the noise that most of us suffer from in setting a manifestation into motion. As a painter, then student of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, I learned to look at the world and see things differently. Natalie Alpert was an instructor who explained during my first Architecture design studio that by the time we graduated we will have learned to look at the world through different eyes. That we would actually train our brain to “look up” as she put it. In essence, Natalie was suggesting that we look through “the noise” of our environment and seek out that which was beautiful. I have been blessed to have manifested an amazing life using this process and have written several books on the topic. The process that I posit includes setting a clear intention, aligning one’s behaviors, then detaching. Detaching includes giving up control, and having faith.

I was raised in a Lutheran German household that included three days in church a week, choir, alter boy service and orchestra. Some of this was fairly tiresome and we were taught that pain, effort, being on time, were a precursor to success since these activities built self discipline. “They” were two thirds right. Step one and two - Intend and then Declare….step three Detach not so much. Detaching involved a deeper feeling we call faith. It means actually giving up control and allowing the universe to do “its” thing. Unfortunately, most of us, including me for many years, tend to be self-critical; we judge, we disallow. These particular thoughts are in precisely the opposite direction of initiating a manifestation of our intention. These types of thoughts and actions are about being in EGO vs. in spirit or inspired and dilute the manifestation process.

Now Thoreau called this process - advancing confidently in the direction of your own dreams. (I call it Intend, Declare, Detach) Carlos Castenada called this “connecting” to an intention. Wayne Dyer, a much lauded self help lecturer and public television celebrity, was strongly influenced by Castaneda’s last book “The Active Side of Infinity.” Dr. Dyer writes in his “The Power of Intention” that he experienced “satori” or instant awakening when he read two sentences in Castaneda’s book. This Satori was his realization that the power of intent was not just a self help personal technique that one does, but rather a force that actually exists in the universe as an invisible field of energy that we connect to.

When coming to a human transaction from a place of spirit or being inspired we are engaging forces that exist beyond ourselves. It is these forces that Thoreau, Max Planck, Albert Einstein, C.G.Jung, Carlos Castaneda and many others refer to when speaking on the topic of connecting to an intention and then allowing it to become manifest. Observe your thoughts, set a clear intention, align your behaviors with this intention, then detach and allow. Whatever reality you seek can become manifest using this process.

Mastering The Art Of Manifestation

How To Create Harmony Out Of Uncertainty

The poet John Keats said that “negative capability” is a key ingredient for any artist. We demonstrate negative capability when we allow ourselves to remain present in the face of uncertainties, doubts, and fear without emotional outburst, bringing drama or reaching for fact or reason to use as a scapegoat or a life rope. When we, humans, are at our best, we become the artists of our personal life portrait. We can then be at the helm of our own ship, navigating the waters of life, able to overcome impatience, and abstain from the need to control.

The Tao Te Ching tells us that all nature follows this process moving from conception to creation one step at a time.

A tree that grows beyond your reach
Springs from a tiny seed.
A building more than nine stories high
Begins with a small mound of earth.
A journey of a thousand miles
Begins with a single step.

Tao #64 Lau Tzu 500 BCE

As we develop greater strength of character, we’re able to face the unknown, and to create new possibilities for ourselves. We begin to learn to detach, and to recognize the cycles and the patterns that are always evolving within us and around us.

Everyone has moments of self-doubt when facing the unknown. Many of us are facing financial problems, some losing the family home to foreclosure. Some marriages are facing dissolution either as a part of this sort of situation or some other marital malaise. The key to remember is that life is a journey, and we are always charting new paths. The more complex our lives the more our courage, our faith our resolve is tested. The question becomes, can we stay centered and keep moving forward?

The life process is much larger than we are. Conflict, challenges, and the unknown will always be a part of the human experience. When faced with uncertainty, re label this “bad feeling situation” as “contrast”. As my old track coach use to tell me, when faced with a limit, a block, or a disappointment: “train through it”. Be aware that contrast is a normal and healthy part of life’s journey. Whether it is an illness, a financial problem, or a familial issue, the key is not how to avoid problems, but how we face them; how we respond. Once faced with uncertainty or fear, “train through it”. Set a clear intention; declare a set of behaviors in alignment with what you really want to have happen or become manifest. Listen to what the universe sends you back in response. Then detach, and allow things to unfold or adjust your intention, and declare a different set of behaviors. Relish in the journey of life in the natural. The only reason that something “is” or “feels” bad “is because” we were taught that it should. ( see my book: Its None Of My Business What You Think Of Me) This is only our Ego asserting itself. Don’t buy into that if at all possible. You are spirit first: mind and body second. With that in mind, we are already immortal. (So, check that off your list) It also means that changing one’s perception, changes the reality of any given life situation. Every life situation is a good one. Life without our bodies (portal into this universe) is pretty boring. No sight, no hearing, and no music to dance to. The life situations that we experience are just that, music to dance to. Be the intentional painter, artist; each day you add yet another color; another shade to the portrait called your life.

Improve your relationship - have an arguement.

Conflict resolution is a process that not only resolves the problem at hand but it can actually improve relationships.  Conflict is a natural element of all human relationships.  It cannot be avoided.   In fact, avoiding conflict tends to lead to more and increased conflict at a point in the future.    We all reach a point of choice in our lives on how to navigate the waters of human relationships.   Some of us give up and others attempt to adjust.    This topic is rarely covered positively at home, in schools, in the media or on the street. Since we have not learned to adjust our response, we often act on impulse allowing a situation to lapse in to fight or flight.    This response leads to a perpetuating cycles of misunderstanding and violence. 

Conflict can lead to division and discord as two common misperceptions have trapped us in fight or flight reactions.   We over generalize and judge; seeing the other side as the enemy.  In hostile reductionism we narrow our vision, diluting the human experience to that of one thing or one point of conflict.   The other alternative is to simply flee from the conflict feeling shame for disagreeing thereby denying our own concerns to avoid confrontation.  Never communicating our needs we give in and settle for a superficial and temporary remedy.    Either response is dualistic.

Instead of labeling the other person or our ourselves as bad or wrong, see this as an opportunity or contrasting life situation that will allow you to build a bridge to a better place, a more desirable moment.   Conflict becomes a means for better understanding ourselves and one another.  It can create a barrier or a bridge, depending on how one responds.  

In the western world we habitually fall into the logical fallacy seeing all life as either win or lose, right or wrong, all or nothing.   Yet if we look to nature for wisdom here we will see that all creation is comprised of complementary opposites.    Dualism limits our options and makes us see differences as threatening.    See others as part of the life’s journey, either in alignment with one’s desire or a pointer to one’s newly learned desire.   Rather than picking sides, how about seeing any point in time that does not feel right as a point of contrast.   This marks the opportunity to better educate, to understand, to learn, and then either resolve or to realign behaviors with yet a new desire or objective.   This creates a life flow that always moves us to a better place.    The alternative is to “be right” and stuck. 

Look beyond friend or foe,

Profit or loss,

Fame and disgrace,

You will always prevail in any conflict situation using this approach.   

How to begin to resolve any problem right now.

 Ecclesiastes affirms that  “to every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.”  

Is everything related? Does everything run in cycles?  By watching the cycles in our lives we can become mindful of how our actions naturally lead to larger consequences.   One can begin to see the wisdom of small actions.  Cultivating healthy habits sets up self reinforcing positive cycles. Taken individually these tiny actions don’t seem like much,  however, the cumulative effect of their presence or absence is undeniable.  These cycles can be ignored but they cannot be denied.  

Everything in nature moves in cycles.  While navigating the waters of life in the natural we must know how to blend these cycles in our lives and in our work.   It can be illustrated by knowing when to speak, when to pause, when to act, when to remain silent, and when to wait.   Empowered by this understanding one can anticipate and prevent problems and pave the way to a particular desire or end goal.

One of the habits of our fast paced  lives is the to neglect to see the wisdom of small action.  In my books I refer to this as incremental intentioning.   Often times we set large goals that often seem outlandish from todays perspective.  Resolving a financial problem, saving a marriage from dissolution, healing a disease,  placing yourself in a position to buy the house of your dreams and maybe attracting the family you have always desired are all reachable goals and should be set straightaway.    But that is not enough.

Rather then becoming overwhelmed by the new objective and either standing static or giving up,  ask yourself the question, “what is the right reaction or action that I can take right now”.     If you are attempting to lose weight and seem to always fall back into old habits of eating or physical passivity instead set your intention for that moment, that day, that that week to stay on course and eat healthy, to do research on the effects of various foods, to do something in the way of exercise.   Now rather than initiating these behaviors “when you think of it”,  make them a part of your daily routine and do them everyday.     It only takes about 30 days to change a behavior pattern.   When you have successfully blended this pattern into the rhythm of your life you will begin to feel the victories each day and see the synchronicities that are an out cropping of this new found life design tool.
