THE
SEARCH FOR CERTAINTY
INTRODUCTION
“To everything
there is a season, and a time to every purpose
under heaven”
-
Ecclesiastes 3:1
Background
Yes, to everything there is a season; and I believe the
time is ripe for a global quantum leap in human consciousness. Not just an
increase in knowledge, it must be a triadic leap: a physical, mental and
spiritual awakening. Anything less leads to serious problems: If enlightenment
is just intellectual and physical, it fosters prideful ego and eventual disillusionment
as dissolution of the physical body, i.e. physical death, approaches. Awareness
of the triadic nature of reality, on the other hand, reveals a reality of which
the observable physical universe is only a small part, and explains why there
is something rather than nothing. Triadic enlightenment integrates the logic of
science, the philosophy of religion and the expanded awareness of spirituality.
The number of people on this planet ready to make
this leap to a comprehensive understanding of reality may finally be reaching
critical mass, a necessary condition for the inevitable shift out of the limiting
paradigmatic belief in mechanistic materialism that has characterized science,
the limiting dogmatic beliefs that have characterized religions, and the
unrealistic fantasies that have characterized “new-age” spiritualism. Gradually,
a few individuals on the leading edge of the bell curve have begun to transcend
the limitations of materialistic science, religious dogma and spiritual
fantasy, into an expanded awareness. This book is the story of my personal
journey from the confusion of fragmented belief systems to the certainty of
triadic enlightenment.
An early version of this book was completed in 1997.
It was intended to be a readable introduction to Transcendental Physics, the
work I completed in 1996 and published in 1997. Presenting a new scientific
paradigm, Transcendental Physics reversed the basic assumption of conventional
science, the a priori assumption that
consciousness is an epiphenomenon arising from the evolution of matter and
energy, with the hypothesis that a primary form of consciousness is the ground
from which all patterns of reality, including the physical universe, originate.
Transcendental Physics, the book, contained specific, detailed interpretations
of complex relativity and quantum mechanics experiments and introduced some new
mathematical concepts developed for purpose of putting consciousness into the
equations expressing the known Laws of Nature. The Search for Certainty
manuscript, on the other hand, was written for readers with less technical
training. It traced the development of the ideas behind Transcendental Physics
as I had experienced them, and was thus at least partly autobiographical. The
purpose was to present the paradigm-shifting ideas of Transcendental Physics in
non-technical terms. Dr. David Stewart, who was familiar with and even part of many
of the events reported in the 1997 version of the Search for Certainty, reviewed
the manuscript, and had this to say:
“For
the first time, the common basis for all sciences and all religions is revealed
- not in vague philosophical terms, but in concrete ways you can understand and
put into practice in your own life. You can take scriptures or the works of
science and, by being selective, prove almost anything. But Ed Close, in this
monumental work, did not do that. Taking into consideration the totality of
physics, both modern and classical, dodging no part of it, Dr. Close has
applied relentless and impeccable logic to produce an intellectual triumph of
our time, a unified theory that makes science and religion one. This
achievement has been claimed by others before, but always there was a flaw. There
are no flaws in Close’s paradigm. The search for certainty ends here for those
with the capability of comprehending what Close has done for us. Both
scientists and theologians, centuries hence, will thank Dr. Close for what he
has done for us. This is truly the first mathematically complete articulation
of the relationship between human consciousness, divine consciousness, and
material reality. This could well be the most important work of the 20th
century. What Einstein and his contemporaries started a century ago, Close has
finished. And what makes his achievement even more remarkable is that he was
able to articulate it in terms the layman can understand.”
