Spiritual Physics

I

After a late teen and early 20’s foray into looking at a spectrum of philosophies I remained a stalwart non-believer. That’s not to say I was without a moral compass. I simply decided to disagree with all the formal religions I had a chance to interact with and/or study. I found then and now that the carping between and among them was sufficient reason to keep an open mind.

Robert Heinlein wrote, “What if they are all correct?”

That is the phrase from those years of religious exploration that sticks in my mind. He went on to suggest that if that were true perhaps we could select our heaven based on “what the label said.” As I recall his character opted for the Muslim heaven with Houris and flowing nectar.

The God Theory.

A friend and former client and I meet regularly for lunch or coffee told me of being drawn in by this book. It has caused me to reflect this way this morning. The complete title is:

The God Theory

Universes, Zero-Point Fields, and What’s Behind It All

The author is Bernard Haisch, an astrophysicist and former editor of the Astrophysical Journal and the Journal of Scientific Exploration. His scientific training as well as his metaphysical researches far exceed mine.

I’ve just begun this book.

It is only 149 pages. The Preface, Introduction and first two chapters were a great accompaniment to my weekend breakfast of sausage, eggs and toast plus a freshly brewed cup of coffee. I felt I was feeding my soul as well as my body.

That’s the point here.

One of the abiding interests I have in beBee is the number of great minds that Star Trek their way across the mental cosmos here. Nowhere else have I found the door open to discussion with this level of courtesy and kindness that welcomes and seems to flower with diverse opinions. Has anyone read this book? Comments? Questions? Concerns? Or am I the first to blunder into it?

I will study it.

I’ll finish reading the book over the next week and let you know what I think. Right now I can tell you that I like the author’s open viewpoint:

“I am pretty certain there is nothing within our modern corpus of scientific knowledge that contradicts the God Theory.”
Bernard Haisch

Until next time.
