IN 1966 Time magazine ran a cover story asking: Is God Dead? Many have accepted the cultural narrative that he’s obsolete — that as science progresses, there is less need for a “God” to explain the universe. Yet it turns out that the rumours of God’s death were premature. More amazing is that the relatively recent case for his existence comes from a surprising place — science itself.

Numerous scientists over many years have studied the role of consciousness and how it can directly influence our physical material world. Large amounts of research have been published which clearly demonstrate that yes, consciousness and what we perceive to be our physical material world are directly intertwined. I will provide more examples of this towards […]

Neuroscientist Sara Lazar's amazing brain scans show meditation can actually change the size of key regions of our brain, improving our memory and making us more empathetic, compassionate, and resilient under stress.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Yes, this statement is true in itself. But how could a machine ever become "intelligent" or "alive"? What is meant here is "self-aware". Hawking is a materialist, however smart. He thinks the material world is all there is, and that our self-aware intelligence is a product of that world. Science fiction writer and scientist Isaac Asimov (author of "I Robot") predicted in the sixties that as the telephone network became more complex it would reach a critical point and become self-aware, and then could plot our downfall. The internet is now infinitely more complex but still not self-aware as far as we know. Machines will never have the spark of life, however complex and better than us at doing calculations and making things. That is my prediction...

Tom Campbell makes more sense - common sense - than anyone I have ever heard on the nature of reality. Basically, the answer to the nature and existence of the universe, consciousness and the physical realm will never be discovered within physical reality. That is because it is a subset of a larger non-physical reality. Some may call this the spiritual, Plato called it the ideal realm.

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
There are many who feel that science should have announced the end of material reality with the findings of quantum physics in the 1920's. However, scientists have tried to maintain that there is a divide between the quantum world and the classical macro world. Experiments in the last 10 years or so prove once and for all that this is not the case. Observation and measurement by an observer not only changes material reality, but also propagates back in time and "changes" the past. It suggests that consciousness is the field of the universe, and that this consciousness "sees" through our eyes. Should we use the "G" word? Not sure, but these findings challenge the very paradigm of western civilisation. .

We have evolved in the macroworld and have become accustomed to its physical laws. But now physicists are looking beneath the surface of this very familiar and stable physical world, deeper into the quantum world. It all conflicts with our expectations that we have acquired through our interactions with the macroworld. So they appear to us as strange and contradictory to our world views.
Especially if we look at the "Double Slit experiment", we will start to question the nature of reality that we are living in. I believe that this material reality still exists, but beneath its surface is another more subtle reality which is still lying undiscovered before us in all its expansive glory! |
The odds against life occurring spontaneously, even in an infinite universe, are astonishing. Not only that, but out of an infinite number of possible universes, with just these laws that allow life to exist, even our existence, let alone the universe itself - looks virtually impossible if put down to pure chance - if such a thing exists... Even many scientists are beginning to agree.
