Spirituality is something even harder to define than consciousness itself, because it is an aspect of consciousness that transcends matter, energy, brain and mind. It is a mistake to try to define it in terms of any specific religious context or doctrine. Rather, it should be defined in the much broader context of the transfinite substrate of Primary Consciousness. It is an awareness of one’s subtle connection with the beauty and grandeur of Reality. It naturally fosters love and compassion for all living things. It transcends time and space.
The a priori
assumption that no conscious intelligence could have existed before organic
life evolved, is not a scientific hypothesis, because it is not falsifiable or
provable. It is just as much a belief as the belief that there is a God. The
later belief, however, can actually become a scientific hypothesis when the
vague, undefined words ' a God' are replaced with the phrase 'some form of
'primary consciousness' and consciousness is included in the mathematical model
of reality along with mass and energy. It is understandable that some
scientists have confused organic life with consciousness, but there is ample
evidence from quantum mechanics data and relativity that a broader form of
consciousness operates at the quantum level, and always has.
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION
In 1714, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, probably one of the most intelligent
people in human history, declared that the most important question of all, the
question science should resolve first, is: “Why
is there something rather than nothing?” Why did he say this? Because the
basic laws of nature: Newton’s laws of motion and the laws of thermodynamics
tell us that there should be no universe at all!
