Quantum Christian Realism


Book Description

Classical Christianity is rooted in a historical event: the Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. This is the central tenet of the Christian Faith. However there are a good number of tenets of Christianity that aren't historical at all. Rather, they are ontological. In other words, they are grounded in the nature of reality itself. In this work Rocco Boni shows how the dozen or so ontologically-based tenets of Christianity derive from the very foundations of reality; being grounded in the theistically-friendly ontology of quantum phenomenon. These tenets seem to have been built into the cosmos at the ground floor, their realization deriving from the indeterministic, immaterial, abstract nature of quantum process. This is not simply a book, it's a discovery. One that shows that the true ontic status of reality is not simply theistic, but Christian. The structure of this theistic ontology is elegant and economic, both hallmarks of scientific truth. If there were such a thing as a Theistic Unification Theory, this would be it.




Evidence of God


Book Description

The majority of people believe in the existence of God and follow different paths to realize Him. It is good to have a spiritual belief, but is not enough. The distance between us and God remains. The confusion remains and we still, sort of, look for evidence of God. It’s because we haven’t experienced Him. The belief is not fully converted into faith. By working within, strengthened Belief leads to strengthened faith, and strengthened Faith leads to the actual Experience. The twenty-first century calls for new insights into spirituality by analyzing the deepest parallel between various scientific theories and what is experienced by realized masters. People are already realizing that the traditional practices in all religions, in the name of spirituality, are mere child plays and thus cannot lead to the realization. Being in the scientific age, people are now reasoning within and more appreciative of spirituality, when explained scientifically. The efforts of this book are, to transform your Belief into Faith through introspection, reflecting on what scriptures say, and primarily through pieces of evidence that are scientific in nature. Let’s briefly think it over: If lord Rama, Lord Krishna, lord Buddha, Saint Guru Nanak, Lord Christ, Prophet Mohammad, etc. are the Gods, then was there no God before them? And then which God did these very masters worship? Did any of these Masters ever say that ONLY they are the Gods and should be worshiped as personalities? If God is there only in the temples, churches, etc., and not everywhere, then can He be God? It is projected as if there is a different God for different religions. Now, what were the religions before these great masters came? If Christ is God for Christians and not for the whole of humanity without conditions, can He be the Absolute, the God? Same with the Gods of other religions. God, through these Masters, pointed out something, but are we moving forward in the direction shown by these great Masters or just holding on to those symbols and worshiping the hand that has shown us the way? It is important to remember the great masters, but is it helping us realize The Truth, through traditional ways? To worship Jesus, because He is Jesus, is not enough. We need to embrace the universal ideals He taught and strive to be like Him. ​“God is present everywhere, in temples, churches, etc. too, but just going there will not persuade Him to reveal Himself. Churchgoing is good, but daily meditation is better still. We are to do both. Because we may certainly have inspiration from going to church, but from daily meditation we will receive even greater upliftment.” Yogananda Jesus said, “Seek the Kingdom of God”, Which means God is and there is a kingdom also, and it is possible to seek it. The kingdom of God is within and is to be sought only within the soul. We are to seek God scientifically. Just like the fish, which is made from water, is born in water, is inside the water, and is inside the water, it, is not experiencing anything other than the water alone. Still, the fish, if its consciousness gets evolved enough, can ask the question, What is the water? How to respond to this query? In the same way, despite being made of God, by God, we are inside God; God is within, and God is all around. Ironically, we are still looking for God. It’s like God, seeking God in the human form, which has forgotten its true identity. But we are not fish. The solution to any problem cannot be had from the same level of consciousness in which the problem is perceived. The efforts here are to help you realize who you truly are. And the moment you realize yourself, you realize God, there and then. You will realize that ONLY GOD EXISTS and You are that!

Quantum Physics and Theology


Book Description

Three decades ago, federal policymakers - Republicans and Democrats - embarked on a general strategy of deregulation. In the electricity, gas delivery, and telecommunications industries, the strategy called for restructuring to separate production from transmission and distribution, followed by elimination of price controls. The expected results were lower prices and increased quality, reliability, and scope of services. Paul MacAvoy, an economist with forty years of experience in the regulatory field, here assesses the results and concludes that deregulation has failed to achieve any of these goals in any of these industries. MacAvoy shows that we now have only partial deregulation, a mixture of oligopoly structure with direct price control. He explores why this system leads to volatile and high prices, reduced investment, and low profitability, and what policy actions can be implemented to address these problems.

God and the New Physics


Book Description

Argues that the discoveries of twentieth-century physics--relativity and the quantum theory--demand a radical reformulation of the fundamentals of reality and a way of thinking, that is closer to mysticism than materialism.




Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Physics


Book Description

Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Physics: Toward a Union of Love and Knowledge addresses the complex issues of dialogue and collaboration between Buddhism and science, revealing connections and differences between the two. While assuming no technical background in Buddhism or physics, this book strongly responds to the Dalai Lama’s “heartfelt plea” for genuine collaboration between science and Buddhism. The Dalai Lama has written a foreword to the book and the Office of His Holiness will translate it into both Chinese and Tibetan. In a clear and engaging way, this book shows how the principle of emptiness, the philosophic heart of Tibetan Buddhism, connects intimately to quantum nonlocality and other foundational features of quantum mechanics. Detailed connections between emptiness, modern relativity, and the nature of time are also explored. For Tibetan Buddhists, the profound interconnectedness implied by emptiness demands the practice of universal compassion. Because of the powerful connections between emptiness and modern physics, the book argues that the interconnected worldview of modern physics also encourages universal compassion. Along with these harmonies, the book explores a significant conflict between quantum mechanics and Tibetan Buddhism concerning the role of causality. The book concludes with a response to the question: "How does this expedition through the heart of modern physics and Tibetan Buddhism—from quantum mechanics, relativity, and cosmology, to emptiness, compassion, and disintegratedness—apply to today's painfully polarized world?" Despite differences and questions raised, the book's central message is that there is a solid basis for uniting these worldviews. From this basis, the message of universal compassion can accompany the spread of the scientific worldview, stimulating compassionate action in the light of deep understanding—a true union of love and knowledge. Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Physics will appeal to a broad audience that includes general readers and undergraduate and graduate students in science and religion courses.




The Fire in the Equations


Book Description

Since the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859, many have found science and belief in God irreconcilable. Now, in the final decade of the twentieth century, stunning advances in physics, biology, and the new fields of chaos and complexity have brought the conflict to a crucial stage. More and more, scientists have begun to look for a single fundamental law or truth that underlies the beginning of the universe and its continued existence. But can we truly find either God or a scientific theory that will erase once and for all the notion of God? This strikingly original book expertly yet clearly encapsulates the various cosmological arguments from science, religion, and philosophy for the nonspecialist. Called "a brilliant intermediary between the thinking of the physicist and the thinking of ordinary people" by a German radio commentator, Kitty Ferguson provides a tour de force review of the modern search for fundamental truth, writing in simple, readable prose and using relevant analogies. The result is a provocative, sometimes mind-bending challenge to reconsider the way we think about ourselves, our origin, and our destiny. Moving beyond Stephen Hawking's quest (in A Brief History of Time) "to know the mind of God", Ferguson takes us one step nearer the answer to science's ultimate question: What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?
