It has been written to express the insights that have been given to all humankind, not just to academics, mathematicians, or physicists. As fellow human beings, we all share equally in this participatory universe. Quantum physics, from the 1920’s onward, began to point the way to a universe that is not independent of the observer. That is to say and imply, a universe that responds to the observer. Physicists such as John Archibald Wheeler (1911–2008), John von Neumann (1903-1957), and Amit Goswami1, to name a few, all agreed that consciousness somehow effects the manifestation and nature of the universe. Historically speaking, this is not a new idea. From the most ancient Eastern religions to the idealists of Europe and the West, consciousness as a metaphysical foundation of reality is a very old conception. Western culture, from the Greco-Roman period onward, began to move away from such a worldview little by little. What then made these modern, Western-trained doctors of physics, so grounded in materialism, change their position so radically? What happened in the quantum theory experiments that forced these men of science to sound more like teachers of Zen Buddhism Quantum Physics & The Holy Grail - 2 - than physicists of modernity? Western science, by the late 1890’s, had nearly closed the door on physics, believing that all the mechanical laws of the universe were now known and that there was little, or nothing, beyond what Sir Isaac Newton and others had prescribed. Matter was considered co-eternal with the universe itself, and there was no creation or beginning to the universe. There was also nothing beyond the Milky Way galaxy, as their limited instruments had most assuredly taught them; seeing is believing, is it not? As providence would have it, this severe under estimation of the world, from what it truly is, was destined for destruction by the greater truth of reality. The findings of quantum physics, which were verified from the 1980’s forward, forever destroyed the hard objectivity of science. In 1964, the discovery of the echo from the universe’s Big Bang provided the signpost needed for scientists to realize the universe had a beginning. In addition, this beginning stemmed from a point smaller than a green pea! Oddly enough, it was a clergy scientist, Father Georges-Henri Lemaître2, who in 1927, proposed the Big Bang theory under the designation he coined as the "hypothesis of the primeval atom.” Even though science has a different nomenclature than that of Eastern philosophy, both of their conceptualizations are very similar, if not identical. From a Hindu3 perspective, the Quantum Physics & The Holy Grail - 3 - out-breathing of Brahman, from a single point of manifestation, creates the universe. This is similar to the Big Bang theory of science. Philosophers, both East and West, have been saying for centuries that the foundation of the universe is based upon consciousness and not upon physical matter. In fact, John von Neumann himself remarked, “Consciousnesscollapses the world.” See Neumann’s Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics4 to get a glimpse of his genius. The other aspect of this writing has to do with consciousness itself and its relationship to everything. It has to do with the Holy Grail and what it truly is. This then is a book on metaphysics in the true philosophical meaning of the word. It is about the ultimate foundation of truth. The one truth that science, philosophy, religion, and spirituality all seek. We are all pilgrims on the same journey seemingly going different directions, yet with the same goal, all asking the same question. What is the Holy Grail? The Holy Grail is the one truth that answers the ultimate questions of science, religion, philosophy, and spirituality. For there is no science, religion, philosophy, or spirituality that stands higher than truth.

Definitions and Concepts What is the Holy Grail? The Grail is many different things to many different people. To some, the Grail is the cup that Christ drank from at the last supper. For others, the Grail is the body, bloodline, and womb of Mary Magdalene.1 Sometimes this is known by the Old French term sangrail, meaning Holy Grail or royal bloodline. The movie, The Da Vinci Code, makes these points quite explicitly.2 All of these descriptions of the Grail are outward physical perceptions of the Grail. The inner perception of the Holy Grail’s truer meaning is much subtler. The word Grail is derived from the Middle Latin word gradalis, where we also get the Latin word gradus, which means step or degree. Our modern Latin word would be Gradient. In other words, the Grail itself is like a ladder with steps on it. There are seven steps; each step is a grade higher than the one below it. These are gradients (or steps) in higher consciousness. The word Holy is derived from the Greek word Helios, which refers to the Sun. Thus, the Holy Spirit is the Sun Spirit. The Holy Bible is then the Book of the Sun. The Sun is the ruler of Sunday. Therefore, all the Solar Mysteries take place on Sunday, such as Christianity in all of its forms. In the field of astrology, the Sun represents the individual consciousness Quantum Physics & The Holy Grail - 6 - of the person involved, while the ascendant of the horoscope is the personality.3 Ultimately, what we are dealing with here are the many different gradients of higher consciousness. Like the seven chakras of Eastern philosophy, there are seven levels of consciousness for each human being. To find the Grail is to reach the higher stages of consciousness. The highest human stage of consciousness in Western terms is Christ Consciousness. The Masters of Wisdom teach that there are seven rays of creation. This is why we have seven days in a week. Each day has a planetary ruler. Venus rules Friday. The Venus mysteries take place on Fridays. Thus, the Muslim holy day is Friday and it is part of the Venus mysteries. The Muslim star and crescent are really the phases of Venus. Saturn rules Saturday and is part of the Hebrew mysteries. The ancient Hebrews paid homage to the star Chokma or Wisdom and is recorded in the Old Testament (Amos 5:26). This is the planet Saturn and it rules Saturday or the Jewish Sabbath. The Sun rules Sunday and is, of course, the solar mystery stream. All forms of Christianity are based on the solar mysteries.4 For every mystery stream there is a shadow stream that is the counter image of the progressive stream. This counter image or shadow is the unredeemed part of the mystery stream and shows a misuse of the stream’s original energy. Thus, Quantum Physics & The Holy Grail - 7 - there are counter solar mysteries that work against the true light of the intended stream. In the solar mystery case, it would be the anti-Christ stream. This counter image stream can only hinder, but never defeat, the intended progressive streams of the seven rays. These counter streams serve to develop us and ultimately will be redeemed by us as we evolve through them. The main thing here is to recognize the difference and to not be taken in by the counter image. The gradient or Grail of consciousness in humanity can be divided into at least four main compartments, according to modern science. True science will always reflect spiritual truth, and true spiritual knowledge will always support the findings of real science. The four levels of human consciousness are waking or Beta, dreaming or Alpha, dreamless sleep or Theta, and a trance-like state or Delta. Brain scientists have measured these states of consciousness in cycles per second (CPS).

    Theoretical UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS: A QUANTUM BIOMECHANICAL FOUNDATION Thomas E. Beck, Ph.D. & Janet E. Colli, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Citing research in consciousness, quantum physics, biophysics and cosmology, we propose the collective amplification of quantum effects as the basis for scientifically describing Kundalini awakening, and the higher-order, emergent phenomenon of Unity consciousness, Such alterations of consciousness have their origin in quantum-scale processes, such as self-induced transparency, superradiance, superpositions, quantum tunneling, and Bose-Einstein condensa­ tion, Microtubules are considered to be key components in non-local, quantum processes critical to human consciousness, We postulate that bundles of fibers (neural cells), each containing numerous microtubule "lasers" acting in unison, collectively result in a massive surge of light energy to the brain, The sudden onset and radically altered nature of such states are consis­ tent with a model based on the activation of a laser.

  • On the Relation Between a Zero-Point-Field-Induced Inertial
    On the relation between a zero-point-field-induced inertial effect and the Einstein-de Broglie formula Bernard Haisch∗ Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory, Dept. H1-12, Bldg. 252, Lockheed Martin 3251 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, California 94304 [email protected] Alfonso Rueda Department of Electrical Engineering & Department of Physics, ECS Building California State University, 1250 Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, California 90840 [email protected] (Physics Letters A, Vol. 268, pp. 224–227, 2000) Abstract It has been proposed that the scattering of electromagnetic zero-point radiation by accelerating objects results in a reaction force that may account, at least in part, for inertia [1,2,3]. This arises because of asymmetries in the electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF) or electromagnetic quantum vacuum as perceived from an accelerating reference frame. In such a frame, the Poynting vector and momentum flux of the ZPF become non-zero. If one assumes that scattering of the ZPF radiation takes place at the level of quarks and arXiv:gr-qc/9906084v3 12 May 2000 electrons constituting matter, then it is possible for both Newton’s equation of motion, f = ma, and its relativistic covariant generalization, F = dP/dτ, to be obtained as a consequence of the non-zero ZPF momentum flux. We now conjecture that this scattering must take place at the Compton frequency of a particle, and that this interpretation of mass leads directly to the de Broglie relation characterizing the wave nature of that particle in motion, λB = h/p. This suggests a perspective on a connection between electrodynamics and the quantum wave nature of matter.

General relativity specifies which geodesic path a free particle will follow, but geometrodynamics has no mechanism for generating a reaction force for deviation from geodesic motion. We discuss a different approach involving the electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF) of the quantum vacuum. It has been found that certain asymmetries arise in the ZPF as perceived from an accelerating reference frame. In such a frame the Poynting vector and momentum flux of the ZPF become non-zero. Scattering of this quantum radiation by the quarks and electrons in matter can result in an acceleration-dependent reaction force. Both the ordinary and the relativistic forms of Newton’s second law, the equation of motion, can be derived from the electrodynamics of such ZPF-particle interactions. Conjectural arguments are given why this interaction should take place in a resonance at the Compton frequency, and how this could simultaneously provide a physical basis for the de Broglie wavelength of a moving particle.

  • Becoming Psychic Is a Good Book—Well Written and Enjoyable—And the Anecdotes Are Interesting
    “An intriguing and yummy look at the nature of psi. I love the writing style—it’s so clear, accessible, warm, straightforward, and intelligent. Steve’s [Dr. Kierulff] teaching stories are marvelous and Stan’s [Dr. Krippner] chapters on psi research are a wonderful read. It’s great to hear about some of his classic experiments from his perspective as an investigator.” —Belleruth Naparstek, psychotherapist and author, Your Sixth Sense: Activating Your Psychic Potential “Stanley Krippner is one of the most creative geniuses in our society. His work deserves to be honored and advanced. Everything Stan Krippner ever put his name on is exceedingly worthwhile.” —Larry Dossey, author, Reinventing Medicine “Stanley Krippner is a world-server of the first order. The dimensions of mind, body, and soul have been greatly expanded because of the illumina- tions he has brought to our time.” —Jean Houston, author and lecturer “Delightful! Becoming Psychic is a good book—well written and enjoyable—and the anecdotes are interesting. It’s important to talk about spirituality, caring, and connectedness, and how these relate to the deep parts of our being. Knowing more about psi can strengthen our understand- ing of divine Mystery.” —Jean Burns, consciousness researcher “When Stephen Kierulff presented his social psychological survey of voters’ attitudes about nuclear weapons at an American Psychological As- sociation meeting, I was impressed by his work and invited him to join our Peace Psychology Research Group. He became a regular and active con- tributor to the group and began researching Armageddon theology and its relationship to attitudes about nuclear war.

Discoveries are made by questioning answers... Bernard Haisch Abstract—The development and progress of the Journal of Scientific Exploration are described from its initiation to its growth to four issues per year with a circulation that at one stage exceeded 2000. The initial publisher, Pergamon Press, had soon withdrawn, whereupon Haisch and Sims took over all publishing responsibilities, engaging Allen Press as printer and distributor. The Journal founded a Web-site that was also the Society’s only presence on the Web, at a time when few scientific societies had their own Web-sites. Several summer research visits to Germany by the editors also led to the organizing of the first European meeting of the Society. Keywords: JSE—JSE history—SSE history—Journal history—Society history In a brief history of the Society of Scientific Exploration (SSE) published in the very first issue of the Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE), Society President Peter Sturrock wrote: In 1981, a number of scientists and other scholars in the United States came to the conclusion that there was a need for a new initiative in scientific research. They could identify a number of phenomena that, for various reasons, were not being studied by the scientific community, but were potentially interesting and even important.

  • On Bernard Haisch's God Theory
    Scientific GOD Journal | May 2013 | Volume 4 | Issue 4| pp. 353-359 353 Pitkanen, M., On Bernard Haisch’s God Theory Essay On Bernard Haisch’s God Theory Matti Pitkanen* Abstract Haisch lists three questions usually regarded as highly non-scientific: Is there really a God? What am I? What is my destiny? As I started to build theory of consciousness, these questions began to make more and more sense also to me. I agree in many respects with Haisch's vision about possibility to build bridge between fundamental physics and spirituality. Where I disagree with Haisch is the notion of ZPE. In TGD all that can be done using ZPE can be replaced with zero energy ontology (ZEO) to achieve the possibility of re-creation without breaking of conservation laws: without ability to generate new sub-Universes God would be rather powerless. Key Words: God Theory, ZPE, TGD, zero energy ontology, Bernard Haisch. Bernard Haisch wrote a book entitled "The God theory". Haisch himself is an astrophysicist who might have become a priest. The book discusses the possibility of spirituality consistent with physics. It also discusses Zero Point Energy (ZPE) hypothesis and the idea that inertia might emerge from vacuum fluctuations of various fields. I agree in many respects with Haisch's vision about possibility to build bridge between fundamental physics and spirituality. The new view about spirituality requires that a lot of horrendous stuff of religions (such as eternal purgatory, the sadistic God of Old Testament killing his own son, blind belief in dogmas, etc...) is thrown away.

In principle these constants could have taken on values wildly different from what they actually are, but instead they are in some cases within a few percent of the Zero-Point Fileds right" values permitting us to exist in this universe. As Sir Martin Rees, the British Astronomer Royal and one of the world's foremost cosmologists writes in his and Whats Behind It All read Just Six Numbers: "Our emergence and survival depend on very special 'tuning' of the cosmos -- a cosmos that may be vaster than the universe that we can actually see. Science today is The God Theory: Universes on the premises of materialism, reductionism, and randomness. Materialism is the belief that reality consists solely of matter and energy, the things that can be measured in the laboratory or observed by a telescope. Everything else is illusion or The God Theory: Universes. Reductionism is the belief that complex things can be explained by examining the constituent pieces, such as the illusion of consciousness arising from elementary chemical processes in the brain. Randomness is the conviction that natural processes follow the laws of chance within their allowed range of behavior.

In this paper, a hypnotic/quantum approach to understanding depression is attempted and parallel or co-thinking is designated as quantum thinking, one of the main sources of depressive cognitions. It is the flexibility of the quantum brain that accounts for cognitive distortions. Hypnosis may involve a spectrum of quantum consciousness and has great research value in uncovering non-biological depression. Like many of the alternate states of consciousness, hypnosis may be a neuro-quantum state. In the earlier part of the 2oth century, Frederic Myers recognised that the middle realm of the unconscious mind is the “hypnotic stratum” and is associated with deep hypnosis. The unconscious is increasingly allied with the quantum and it is time to revise the concept of the Freudian unconscious accordingly. The co-existence of a quantum mechanical body and brain is all the time more recognised now in parasciences.
