Next: An evolutionary crisis Up: Preface
Previous: Spiritual instincts Contents
Our assumptions imply there is no immaterial soul. On the
contrary we see all matter as soul stuff. Our consciousness is not
connected to some essence that can be divorced from our physical
structure. We are the consciousness embodied in our bodies. There
is no magic moment when a soul enters our body at the beginning of
life nor leaves us in death. There is a continual transformation of
consciousness. We are not separate from the physical world around
us but a part of the universal flow of consciousness. We are the
universe becoming conscious of itself. We are the eyes of God with
the power to create the world. Many spiritual traditions
intuitively see this. By reintegrating essence to science we can
move beyond intuition to understanding. The spiritual implications
are explored in Chapter ![[*]](../ions/crossref.png)
.
But understanding is not enough. One must feel a connection with the physical universe. One must feel that one is the universe becoming conscious of itself. Our values come from feeling. Values will determine if we continue the open ended exploration of consciousness that has created us.
