Quantum God

God is Dead, Long Live God

In the 14th and 15th centuries Western theology had to abandon much of its view of basic reality in
order to remain relevant to the truth of the quest to know God. Some churches fought tooth and nail,
some retreated deeper into literalism, but many began to incorporate the new view of reality into their
theology. Today we have entered a new century after spending over 100 years formulating a
profoundly new view of the nature of the universe and reality itself. It is time to move beyond 19th
century theology and explore the realm of 21st century quantum theology. Both philosophers and
scientists can now agree to the inescapable conclusion that everything, the entire universe and
cosmos, are one. Let me say it again. What high philosophy has said for thousands of years is proven
by science and quantum physics. We are not talking about silly-science, but mainstream, broad based
acceptance, and experimental proof. There is only ONE thing in the entire universe, the universe
itself. All time, space, mass and energy are inseparable and seamless. We are not “connecte" or
“linked" to the people and things around us. We are ONE with them. Mass and space and energy
CAN appear and disappear. Even the laws of entropy have been shown to be as limited as
Newton’s mechanics when talking about the foundation level functioning of the universe. Something
that has long been intuitively known by those who meditate is now laboratory proven fact; All is truly
One.

At the quantum level there is no Is. Nothing IS All is flux and probability, not what WE call reality.
At the primary level an electron ISN’T, a proton IS’T, nor photons or neutrons. It is only
probabilities of being and location. But these probabilities intersect with other probabilities and
gradually, then suddenly, appears certainty. For a moment. Then the electron and the photon it
interacted with are NOT again. Step back a bit and then the probabilities intersect more often and
more things suddenly ARE. Now we see atoms and light rays, but don’t look too close or they
become whatever we are looking for and nothing that we are not, within certain limits. At a certain level
there are so many probabilities colliding that all seems real and stable. This is the world we see with
our eyes and our other senses. Most of us think of atoms as electrons whirling around hard cores of
protons and neutrons, but this is a false picture. Nothing IS until it has a significant probability of
interacting with some other bit of nothing. But All of that nothing is part of a seamless whole. A
foundation of reality, time and space. Everything just an expression of it’s interaction with another
part of the universal everything.

Any world view or religion that does not take into account quantum physics and its description of
reality that has been tested and proven without a single failure time and again is doomed to wander in
a spiritual dead end. God works and exists in this quantum reality. I do not feel God created the
universe so much as was co-created. God is what we call the idea of an ego, a personality, monitoring
and controlling the universe. But God must be part of that same universe. Otherwise a truly personal
relationship with God would be impossible. IF God was outside of our world there would be no
interaction. Both space AND time would be fixed to an outside observer of our reality. Every
pattern and cycle would be fixed and unchangeable from beginning to end to God. No growing of a
relationship between man and God, no intervention or modification of plan. To look at the universe
from outside is to see all of time, not just all of space, unchangeable. The universe would be a pretty
knickknack, a crystal bauble to put on a shelf and admire. God can not be part inside and part
outside. The part outside would be just as connected to the inside and so BE inside what can be
considered the connected reality we call cosmos. If God has a conscious ego then we are intimately
connected to it. We are PART of the mind of God. God does indeed look through our eyes.

This is the basis for any modern theology as I see it. So, where does that leave us with all the
universal questions of theology?
