"Physicists do not need mysticism, and mystics do not need physics, but humanity needs both."
~ Dr. Fritjof Capra
There are probably not many people past or living that hadn't at least once in their lifetime wondered what life was about; where they came from; if their existence had a purpose, who or what created the Universe; or whether life was a miraculous consequence of random events or intelligently designed. Mystics, philosophers, and scientist alike spent lifetimes trying to answer these questions through religious traditions and scientific models.
For centuries science and spirituality were in opposition to and in conflict with each other. But recently many came to realize, scientists as well as mystics, that these are just two equally valuable and important approaches in the attempt to understand and explain the mystery of our existence. In fact, only when we combine spiritual insight with scientific data will it be possible to uncover the ever-elusive secrets of Creation.

"As is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm. As is the atom, so is the Universe. As is the human body, so is the cosmic body. As is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind."
~ The Upanishads
"We are all one" - the mystics and spiritual teachers have been telling us for millennia. But is this just a beautiful and comforting idea or a scientific fact? More and more scientists come to the conclusion that we are indeed connected to each other and to everything in the Universe in the most profound way. Currently, there are several scientific models that can confirm mathematically what once was believed to be a mystical concept. One of them is the Unified Spacememory Network.
"The living organism is comprised of a complex system of biomolecules intercommunicating in an intricate network of information and energy exchange. These highly complex biomolecules are in turn comprised of components that have evolved and developed under the influence of a larger, more fundamental intercommunication system, the Unified Spacememory Network (USN). At each scale, there are sentient dynamics creating order and directionality of interaction towards higher levels of synergetic organization, and as a result, greater levels of consciousness. From the basal level of consciousness of the unified spacememory network, emerges higher orders of consciousness of the living organism. Until at the level of complexity exhibited by many animals, and undoubtedly human beings, there emerges self-awareness. The Planckian wormhole network connects spatial, temporal, and parallel domains, and mediates intercommunication, integration, and responsiveness of seemingly disparate systems across scales, engendering systems intelligence, and the biophilic and purposeful directionality of cosmological evolution and development from natural principles alone."

It is time for a paradigm shift
Paradigm is a set of beliefs from which we operate. The way we perceive the world and the nature of the Universe influences the way we relate to it, to each other and to life itself. For the past several centuries we, especially in the western hemisphere, relied and continue to rely on science to explain the workings of the Universe and its laws. While modern science undoubtedly made significant advances in improving most aspects of our lives, it also led to many serious problems we are facing today as a civilization. I believe that seeing the Universe as dead, disconnected and random is certainly one of the main factors that contributed to these problems. By comparing the disconnected and the connected worldviews we easily see how this paradigm could lead to many of the challenges we are facing today as individuals, as a society, and as a planet.
The Disconnected Worldview
|
~The Universe is a machine we can study by reducing its components to smaller parts. ~There is no underlying organizing framework. ~There is no intelligence or life within inorganic matter. ~The direction of evolving systems is always toward entropy. ~Objects are separated by empty space and are therefore disconnected. ~The vacuum is devoid of energy. |
The Connected Worldview
|
~The Universe and all its parts behave as a whole unified system. ~The energy/information interaction is holographic throughout. ~The process of organization includes feedback/feedforward loop throughout the fractal and holographic matrix. ~This feedback exhibits an ever-evolving ”intelligence,” making it a “living universe.” ~The direction of evolving systems includes a balance between both increasing and decreasing order. ~The space “between” objects is full of energy that connects all things. |

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes." ~ Marcel Proust
"In science, the acceptance of new ideas follows a predictable, four-stage sequence. In Stage 1, skeptics confidently proclaim that the idea is impossible because it violates the Laws of Science. This stage can last for years or for centuries, depending on how much the idea challenges conventional wisdom. In Stage 2, skeptics reluctantly concede that the idea is possible but that it is not very interesting and the claimed effects are extremely weak. Stage 3 begins when the mainstream realizes not only that the idea is important but that its effects are much stronger and more pervasive than previously imagined. Stage 4 is achieved when the same critics who previously disavowed any interest in the idea begin to proclaim that they thought of it first. Eventually, no one remembers that the idea was once considered a dangerous heresy." ~ from "The Conscious Universe" by Dean Radin, Ph. D.
