WHY
SCIENCE MUST CHANGE AND WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
by Edward R. Close, November 14, 2017
Evil is subtle, and good is easily ignored. And right now, we are at a critical point in the history of science and our
civilization. University professors have been misguidedly teaching our children
that everything is matter and energy evolving in space and time for many years.
They are blinded by the intellectual trap of materialism. It has become common
for mainstream scientists to say things like “The more we know, the more meaningless
it becomes!” And “we are just accidental combinations of matter and energy
flying away from an explosion that happened 13.8 billion years ago”. And young
aspiring scientists are saying: “I’m a scientist, so of course I’m an atheist!”
This is not only wrong, it is subtly dangerous; - but the
danger is not so subtle any more. The belief that when my body dies I cease to
exist, leads to a self-serving attitude of “This is all there is, so I can do
anything I want.” This is the reason crime, violence, murder and suicide are rampant in
the world today. Science must change, and it must change quickly, if we are to
survive as an intelligent civilization.
Science
must change soon, and science can change, because intellectual atheism is not a
valid scientific hypothesis, it cannot be proved or disproved within the
current scientific paradigm. And anyone who is awake and aware of the
elegant wonders of nature and the mathematical beauty of the music resounding
throughout the atoms and the stars, knows in his or her heart that there is
much more to Reality than matter and energy randomly revolving and dissolving in
space-time.
About thirty years ago, I realized that conscious awareness
depends on the existence of a real, but non-physical aspect of reality. In 1996 at the
university of Arizona in Tucson, I presented the case for the non-quantum
receptor at Tucson II: Toward a Science of Consciousness. And in 1997 I
published my third book: Transcendental Physics. In 2008, I began to
work with a world-renowned neuroscientist, Dr. Vernon Neppe, MD, PhD. As you
may know, we have published numerous papers and manuscripts and we have spoken
at national and international conferences announcing a new consciousness-based
paradigm. But that is not what this post is about.
About five years ago, we discovered that, in addition to
matter and energy, there is a third something
that must exist at the quantum level for there to be any symmetrically stable
subatomic particles. In other words, if there wasn’t something non-physical
from the very beginning, there would not be a physical universe as we know it today.
This discovery allowed us to work out a way to put consciousness into the
equations of science, fulfilling a dream I had had for more than fifty years!
By putting consciousness into the equations, we have explained things that have
puzzled mainstream scientists for decades. But even that is not the point of
this post.
The
point of this post is that science must change, is about to change forever, and
you need to know about it.
Scientists and theologians alike have told us for years that
no one can prove with science and logic, that God and the human soul or spirit
do or do not exist. This assumption has kept the world of scientists, whose “theories
of everything” involve only matter and energy, and the world of spiritual
people, who need no proof, forever apart. But this assumption is only true when
science is limited to the materialistic belief system of current mainstream
science. When the basis of science is expanded to include an element of consciousness,
as we have done with the discovery of the third form of reality, which we call
gimmel, that is no longer true.
The
real existence of the world of Spirit and its interaction with physical reality
is now a mathematically proven and scientifically demonstrable fact. Science is
about to enter a completely new and exciting era. The real phenomena of spiritual experience
can now be explained, within a scientific paradigm that also explains physical
phenomena. For the first time in modern human history, every real phenomenon
can be scientifically explored and explained.
In 1856, Nikola Tesla, the genius of electrical
transmission and use, said: “The
day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress
in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence”.
This is what the work of Neppe and Close, and the new
Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Science is all about. Stay
tuned!
