The God Theory: Universes, Zero-point Fields, and What's Behind It All

I have found myself conscious within a form I'm told is a human body. I have been amazed at the huge size of those I'm told are mother and father. I have found conflicting community with sister and brother. How strange to discover that clouds are made of water, that trees are big plants, that meat is muscle and to see the vessels and tendons for the first time. I have discovered the alphabet for the first time in first grade and I have written my first short stories in the second. "I have a ball. Would you like to play ball? The giant said, yes, I want to play ball. So they played and played." I was in Sunday School listening to the stories.... and soon old enough for church, giggling and wispering and causing all sorts of concern after the young minister mentioned "Gene and his little red wagon". I discovered Easter and am still stunned by the beauty of it. Girls! Junior High. Romeo and Julliet early high school. The death of the innocence, having to move and leave the cutest girl in town. High school, the prom. Weird. Acting like rich people. Pre-med. Formalin. Comparative anatomy and that stiff alley cat. Medical school and the triumph of Virchow. The only life left in medicine seems to be Freund's libido and most don't see he means life flowing harmoniously through the healthy body, and they squeeze it down into their pelvi. (There is no room in medicine for even a materialist going against Virchow and his proclamation that the vitalists are wrong forever. Let's just put Reich in jail and let him die. Life....what need we of that hypothesis.)Dear Albert. I love you so much. You may have read some secret doctrine! I know not. You probably have done as other great thinkers have done, searched your heart of hearts and found Truth, Reality, God, LIFE, there. In your heart of hearts you have found your thinking and thereby discovered your authenticity. In special theory of, you write there is no need of the ether of the ancients and in the general, you say that it may still very well be. And later you say that.... isn't it interesting that spacetime has all the properties of the old ether.In medical school I found that Oscar Wilde was right: The art of medicine is keeping the patients entertained until they get worse or better by their own devices. There seems very little healing going on and that only within the genuine kindness delivered through good bedside manner. In books in print in the library there were only two books that mentioned healing(1971). One was "Esoteric Healing" by Alice Bailey. This led to the 24 volumes, The Secret Doctrine, to Plato, to all of philosophy. My true education began. Food for thought. Concentration, meditation, contemplation, Opening The Eye of New Awareness by the Dalai Lama... only the first step: achieving meditative stablization for at least four hours, (the extreme opposite of attention decifit disoder.) "Love is the Child of Freedom" an old French Song via Erik Fromm. "There is no freedom without discipline", Djwhal Khul. I find myself in the earliest stages of knowing/not knowing, Being/not being.Blavaksty asks: Isn't the essential task of all religions to be truthful to everyone always, to be kind to everyone always? And to be harmless?I met Dr. Haisch and his wife Marsha Sims at a conference many years ago. I had exchanged a few words with them. Very good vibrations. I had wrangled my way to a piano and played for an hour or so and Dr. Haisch made a point of thanking me for my efforts. How does one explain how an act of kindness effects one when one is taking big risks. Ms. Sims also thanked me. No one else did. This is o.k. One learns to face reality a little bit more each risk. I didn't know very much about either of them except in addition to science they were into music. Ms. Sims was a music major. (The arts and the sciences together. Now there's a marriage made in heaven.)There is a realm, a state of consciousness, wherein we find beauty. We call this state of consciousness pure mathematics, pure reason, the Platonic Realm of Ideas. (There is a hint that pure reason, right relationship, is love.) Half the mathematicians are Platonists and half are not? Mathematicians struggle with the foundations, the axiom/postulates. Mathematicians struggle with the appropriate applications within this world in which we seem to move and breathe and have our being. And there are those, like that dear man of joy and sorrow, of mania and depression, that try to re-tie to Life through mathematical thought. And now with CERN and Super String Theory we wait to see just where is the meeting place of of the four fundamental forces of nature and at what level of energy intensity, that predicted by the standard model or that predicted by Super String.The fourteenth Dalai Lama reaches from a world view that embraces the perennial philosphy to his understanding of the world of science and tells us about that adventure in THE UNIVERSE IN A SINGLE ATOM. Dr. Haisch and Ms. Sims reach from a scientific and musical world view open to the truth and to the suggestions from the perennial philosophy. The best of the Eastern rational philosophy/psychology/arts reach out to the best of the Western rational philosophy/psychology/arts. There are conflicts. These conflicts can be haromonized through the mathematics of Harmony and Beauty? Philosophy has its aesthetic aspect! Henri Bergson is an important philosopher! The physical world view has its solids, liquids, gases but also it's plasma. The metaphysical world view has it's physical, emotional, mental but also its intuitive state of consciousness. Plasma is at such a state of energy that the solids, liquids, and gases are lifted to a higher level and are together as plasma. Physical, emotional, mental states of consciousness meet and marry in the state that we refer to as beauty, harmony, grace, intuition. It is in this state wherein absoluteness, being AND non-being can be contemplated.There is a community of conscious human beings that love Truth, Reality, God, Life and they also love science and the scientific community. What greater compliment can one give to Dr. Haisch and Ms. Sims than to say. I have read your book. I have read it out loud. I have savoured every word and I feel very happy. I think and feel that you and your wife, Ms. Sims, are one in consciousness with Eddington, Jeans, Davies, Huxley, et al and are taking great risks to voice truthfully and with compassionate kindness, technically superb and with your heart of hearts. You are substantiating this old man and bringing new hope to the young.

I just finished reading some books...yes, I do still read. I was given a boxed set of two books written by Yuval Noah Harari titled "Sapiens....A Brief History of Humanity" and "Homo Deus...A Brief History of Tomorrow". Both books are real page turners and will make you think about your beliefs of how the world developed and where it is going. Harari begins when homo sapiens rose above previously dominent homo erectus and other species, stating that people were never happier or more free than when they were hunter-gatherers. Probably somewhat true if you factor in the harsh reality of life as a worker or slave building pyramids or working on some plantation, or a child working in the coal mines of Britain....forgetting about the limitations placed on freedom by such things as sabre-tooth tigers. Sapiens triumphed and caused the extinction or near extinction of most of the larger mammalian species on the earth.The motivation of mankind being the pursuit of happiness...which is lately becoming not the right to pursuit of happiness but the right to happiness itself. The endgame being elimination of death (except perhaps by being squashed by a boulder while visiting Falling Rocks, Colorado...or some such accident). The development of computer intelligence will reach a point where many things change for us, not all for our good. What if Artificial Intelligence takes over and suspends us all by our feet, feeding us through tubes and letting us live in a dream state in various forms of virtual reality until the AI determines it really doesn't need us anymore. That was "Sapiens"Homo Deus is more of a religious-type text focusing on how homo sapiens developed. Theologies are examined and discounted as being secular constructs that are essentially imagination gone wild. Harari attacks the notion of individuality and our concept of our conscious self. To make a long story short, Harari expresses his strongly held belief that there is no real individuality or conscious self...but that we are essentially semi-sentient creatures with an uncanny ability to organize and communicate....and that all our actions are really based on chemical actions and reactions at the molecular or even chromosomal level based on algorithms of physics and chemistry. I don't think he tithes. He believes all religions are merely social constructs. His books are enthralling and very convincing...and ultimately very depressing.I felt I needed a catharsis. I felt Harari, as convincing as he was, just missed hitting the truth of the matter. I remembered another author, a noted astrophysicist and physicist, named Bernard Haisch, had written a book titled "God Theory: Universes, Zero-Point Fields, and What's Behind It..." I read the book which provides a scientific look at and analysis of who and what God is. The book is fresh and informative and is a direct counterpoint to the arguments of reductionists such as Harari. It gives meaning to the statement in Genesis that God created Light before there was anything to see or reflect that light. It also gives meaning to the statement in John 1:1..."In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".I recommend Harari's books for a page-turning trip through history and a voyage to a dim and not too distant future. I also recommend you read Haisch' book "God Theory..." Read Haisch immediately after you read Harari. Peace.

This book has some very interesting theries about religion.

An amazing book! A must read for all...never before has anyone presented the taboo topic in materialistic science in such a compelling and logical manner. Its hard to refute Brian's god theory!

It's an interesting book in general. The part of physics is clear and understandable if you just know the basics. The metaphysics... it is all just a theory, but so is string theory and still has that halo of truth because is deemed "scientific" stuff. If you just definitely drop that pre-conceived, absurd and dangerous conception of a white-bearded, psychopathic, biblical God, and reconsider facts with the basis of science as your guiding line... Well, it will keep you thinking.

This is a good book to read. It is somewhat mind-satisfying. For me it basically shows more evidence on this fact: the ones who in modern times do not believe in “God” (not meaning the traditional, childish conception though) are just stupid. Some of the insightful arguments developed in the book might be close to the “Truth”.

One of the most important books I have read in the last twenty years. I am biased because his conclusions agree exactly with mine, over a forty year bumbling journey but then I am only a biologist, not a physicist. Haisch writes so clearly and entertainingly, the mark of an innate educator. Science will this century finally open its mind, while in Walsh’s words, ‘the species awakens’.
