Synopsis
This is not a glossing over of subjects like a ‘pop’ TV documentary sanitized by and for the Orthodoxy. If you want to open your mind and truly and understand, finally and for real, what Quantum Physics is, where it came from, how the idea that our ’consciousness paints the universe into being’ came to be, how it relates to these other subjects, that requires a certain level of effort on the part of the reader, a small challenge but is certainly not written above the intellect of the average layman. The math presented is at a high-school level. Written by a Physicist whose expertise spans a wide range of fields, from Neuroscience Research to philosophy and religion, and who has also experienced multiple medically documented NDEs, the book proves mathematically that reality, the Universe as we perceive it, can only exist interdependent with consciousness. Reviewing Quantum Physics from its founders’ definitions up to the latest research in the field, Bray explains in detail in language every layman can understand how we interact with, manipulate and define the Universe, ultimately how we “paint the Universe into being”, to use Bray’s own syntagm. He substantiates his theory with most logical arguments and hard data which have been proven correct throughout a century of quantum research. After disproving beyond any reasonable doubt the world view according to which consciousness is an artifact of the physical brain, by using experimental data and conclusions independently verified by leading researchers worldwide, Bray describes how consciousness creates the physical universe, how it is mathematically impossible that consciousness can be finite, and that the universe is. His conclusion that consciousness is unique for each individual is a natural outcome of his scientific, physics-based argumentation, as is the evidence that consciousness must be infinite and eternal in order to exist. We are perceiving this short, finite, physical life, while at the same time existing in an infinite domain, unaware of it, because we are focusing on this finite Universe as a mere perception. Bray’s purpose is not to “prove” God, but to show that each of us is a unique individual consciousness that exists beyond space-time, for infinity. He goes even further to identify the truths that have been enduring and immutable throughout centuries in philosophy and religion, by distilling them from myth and dogma. And by doing this, he dismisses many paradoxes in physics, religions and philosophy. Bray succeeds in convincingly intersecting science and spirituality and proving that, contrary to cognitive beliefs which are prone to constant change, Faith is an immutable spiritual state. And he should know since he has studied it not only as a physicist and neurosciencist, but has also experienced NDEs first-hand, through recurrent cardiac arrests due to a severe medical condition that brought him repeatedly to the brink of death. Thus, the NDEs are described from the perspective of a rigorous scientist who refrains from including any biased, subjective description of them. Although it covers a whole century of Quantum Physics research and data, providing the first working definition for consciousness that is consistent with the formal definitions of Quantum Physics, as well as the philosophies and religions of Man, the book uses terminology and math that is within reach of lay readers. The arguments in Physics, religion, and philosophy have raged on for centuries without this simple, central, required definition. His arguments are unambiguous, devoid of metaphor or uncertainty and the book is by no means an ideological argument or exploration, although it is at odds with almost everything written to date; Bray’s claims are substantiated with solid mathematical axioms and are not open to speculation. All moneys go to the ASPCA and local dog shelters.
Présentation de l'éditeur
From the Late Prof. W J Bray This is not a casual glossing over of subjects like a TV documentary, nor is it a narrative. There is some math involved, and the subject of Quantum Theory is a difficult one both to describe and to understand by scientists and laymen alike. The math presented is reduced to some basic algebra. The purpose is to look at the evidence from a philosophical and religious perspective, as well as human perception and the deconstruction of various paradoxes and decide if the evidence is compelling toward the conclusion that we are not finite beings. This is not a discussion that suggests Quantum Physics is some route to the mystical, but a discussion that suggests we are not finite. We then look at the finite nature of our cosmos and conclude, if the evidence is compelling enough, that we are infinite beings merely perceiving a finite system. That being said (from a teacher in Romania): Written by a Physicist whose expertise spans a wide range of fields, from Neuroscience Research to philosophy and religion, and who has also experienced multiple medically documented NDEs, the book suggests mathematically that reality, the Universe as we perceive it, can only exist interdependent with consciousness. Reviewing Quantum Physics from its founders’ definitions up to the latest research in the field, Bray explains in detail in language every layman can understand, provided commitment to do further research available on the WWW. The text then goes on to describe how we interact with, manipulate and define the Universe, ultimately how we “paint the universe into being”, to use Bray’s own syntagm. He substantiates his theory with logical arguments and hard data that have been proven correct throughout a century of quantum research. After disproving beyond any reasonable doubt that consciousness is an artifact of the physical brain, by using experimental data and conclusions independently verified by leading researchers worldwide, Bray describes how consciousness creates the physical universe, how it is mathematically impossible that consciousness can be finite, and that the universe is. His conclusion that consciousness is unique for each individual is a natural outcome of his scientific, physics-based argumentation, as is the evidence that consciousness must be infinite and eternal in order to exist. We are perceiving this short, finite, physical life, while at the same time existing in the eternal consciousness, unaware of it, because we are focusing on this finite Universe as a mere perception.
