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
.
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.
