So let me see if I can get this straight – or at least straighter. The recent discoveries in quantum physics state that there is an interconnectivity to all things in the universe. The words “We are all one” have reverberated through the hearts and minds of humanity in one form or another since the beginning of time. All the religions that I have studied in my life have taught this great, but seemingly unfulfilled Truth.

In my last posting, “The Allness Of God”, I quoted David Bohm, author of The Undivided Universe, as saying, “The inseparable quantum interconnectedness of the whole universe is the fundamental reality.”
Also “Einstein said, “The illusion that we are separate is an optical delusion of our senses.” Irwin Schroedinger, the quantum physicist who developed the wave equation in quantum physics says, “If we could just measure the sum total of the minds in the universe there would be just one.”

Mary Baker Eddy says in her Scientific Statement Of Being, “All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all.”

The question I ask is, “If quantum physics is a study of this material world and Jesus, Buddha and those millions of others are speaking about the spiritual world, is there an interconnectivity between the two?  Or are these really two separate issues?

If matter is unreal, another crashing discovery of quantum physics, if there is, in fact, nothing there, if all that we experience through our five physical senses is an illusion, then who cares what these physicists find.  They’re simply trying to figure out the principles of nothing.

And yet something tells me to pay attention to all this. This interconnectivity that quantum physics explores is not made of matter. Perhaps all there is is the interconnectivity. Perhaps the interconnectivity itself is God linking all true substance, “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

I know, we’re getting’ a little heady here, but how else do we get this straight? I’m just trying to line up all these different thoughts in my mind and see what it all amounts to.

If God is all in all, doesn’t that mean that all there is is God? Duh. If we are all one, does that stand us separate and outside of allness? Hardly. If spiritual man is a reflection of God (Remember Man was made in His image and likeness – Genesis) and God is all there is, then where does that put us?

And yet here I seem to sit, with my blue robe on in front of my computer living this illusion as hard as I can. And yet here I sit, thinking and wondering, breathing life by the nano second, heart pounding with life, brain teeming with life – the duality of life on Planet Earth and my life as a spiritual being.

I shall not be confused by this. I shall just let it be for one more day.  Perhaps today some light will crack through. Perhaps today another pin will drop into place.

Did I get it straight, or straighter? I think not. In no way, dear reader, am I trying to get you to think like me. Please build your own concepts of God and man. It’s hard enough to figure it out for myself. If you can shed some light on my thinking, I’m all for it. If I can reciprocate, great, but this is an independent journey for each of us.  There are far better minds at work than mine.

I do know this: The last hour spent in this noble contemplation has lifted me into the day. Essentially, I have had my morning prayers. The focus on the absolute has sharpened my mental atmosphere. I’m ready to start another day.
