Quantum Physics in the Bible

Our good friend Sherry passed on a reference to a blog that is very interesting. A thought-provoking artical from a blog by J. Douglas Bottdorff who is a minister in the Unity movement.

The blog was entitled "The Grasshopper Mentality". The gist of the article is that if one thinks like a grasshopper they will create the reality of a grasshopper. This is very remeniscent of the trend of thought expressed by some quantum physicists who believe that we create our own reality at least on the sub-atomic level if not on the macro-atomic level that our consciousness exists. And this was taken from Numbers, chapter XIII whenever that was written so many centuries ago.

Marc Edmund Jones during the last century in his textbooks on Astrology identified a similar process when he wrote about Basic Attitude as described by the planet Mercury. For the unitiated, the position of the planet Mercury in the Horoscope identifies the nature of the Basic Attitude. The understanding of conscious reality is based on this position. But how can we change this reality if it is not to our liking. We certainly cannot change the position of Mercury in our Horoscope. That has been determined as a consequence of our birth. So what can we change? We can change the thing that Mercury symbolizes and that is our Basic Attitude.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. So if one can visualize a pendulum, with the basic attitude as the fulcrum, and the outcome or reality, if you will, as the plumb bob, then the lowest point of the swing represents this outcome or reality. Since this pendulum figure is consistent in its configuration, that is fulcrum, plumb bob and swing, the only way to change the point of lowest swing is to change the position of the fulcrum, which is the Basic Attitude. This will change the outcome or the reality as the case may be.

For those who had trouble following my little example, what it said was that if you are unhappy with the life you are leading, look to your attitude. Because if you change your attitude you will change your life. In other words stop thinking like a grasshopper unless you like eating grass.

Curiosity killed the cat...or did it?

After a long and harrowing week, like I am sure you had too, I finally kicked back and watched a new program on the Science Channel. The program was called "Curiosity". It featured Stephan Hawking and his subject was that science had come to the point where it did not need God to explain the creation of the Universe.

Science could explain the what, the how, the where and the when. But the Theologians retorted that it was God that provided the why and we have not gotten an answer for that as yet.

The great Albert Einstein, who had laid the foundation for all of science as we know it today, said that "he wanted to know the mind of God". That is he wanted to know what God had in mind when He created the Universe or why did He do it. And this the scientists have not been able to do. This also brought into focus the question of life after death which science has a hard time getting its head around. And what about quantum physics where particles keep winking in and out of existence? What about the Cosmos where Stars are blowing up in spectacular supernovae and then re-forming as matter accretes with matter? Science has a perfect description of these phenomena and even has crafted mathematical language to describe it so that they may predict these events. But to ask what is the purpose of all this leads to a dull dead silence.

One scientist even invoked consciousness saying that he did not know what happens to consciousness after we are dead. The same scientific mind espouses the idea that energy cannot be created or destroyed as a universal law. But more and more of our research on the brain has shown that consciousness is an energetic process. So then can we conclude that consciousness too can never be destroyed? And if so where does it go after we die? Perhaps to another universe to be born again since another scientific point of view takes the position that there are a multitude of universes in existence.
