Comment from marguerite on the above subject added to the
following comments:
>From what I am learning in conducting research for "The Sacred
Quest" I do believe that the "new science in all of its dimensions,
really "multi-dimensional science",is changing the basis for religious
beliefs. Especially in the realm of the biology of consciousness.
While the Ancient Ones fairly accurately intuited the essence or
spirit of consciousness, since they did not have at that time the
sophisticated instruments available today with which to measure
the subtle energy fields which make up the bioelectro-magnetic
energy field which constitutes the human body and gives it life,
mythology was the means through which spirit was interpreted.
These new relevations are as jarring to those of "faith-based"
religions as was the news that the earth was not flat but round. But
just as society emerged from those times, we will get through these
times and take "another leap in consciousness" though the debates
will rage on for some time. What we must keep in mind is that among
the Ancient Ones were those who were as greedy as some today
who feel they should rightly be "emperors". And the "emperors" of
those times wrote scripts and created documents to further their own
ends which many times were not in the best interests of all concerned
just as is happening today.. In so-doing, they created a "collective
consciousness" into which fortunately not all have been ensnared
today. The communications technology offered by the computer and
the Internet enable us in more quickly dissolving the borders that
separate us whether they be of the mind or a physcial creation.
One of the most significant books to emerge out of this transitional
phase in human history is "The Universe in An Atom" written by the
Dalai Lama. In it, Buddhism is compared to quantum physics with
the Dalai Lama remarking that if there is anything contrary to Buddhism
found in science, then science must prevail.
The new world of reality appears to be significantly based on human
biology and we are referring to "organic organizations which work
together cooperatively to form a whole" as the way to structure or
self-organize ourselves.
In our emergence as "wholes" it does not appear there is any place
for "private ownership of property" as this can only be created by
setting up *artificial boundaries* which have no place in a healthy
cooperative system. To deviate from that which is natural and
create the artificial which exists only as a concept in one's mind
is to take the road toward aberrancy and create the pathology of
dissociation from which most of society suffers today.
For an in depth understanding on this, may I suggest reading
Ken Wilber's "No Boundaries". Wilber is the author of 18 books
related to human consciousness.
When all is said and done we will find 6 billion plus Gods who make
up the Universal Mind or 6 billion plus mini-computers which feed into
a supercomputer by the name of God, Allah, or the Universal Mind -- take
your choice. And which form a *feedback loop* via which All become
*Co-creators* of the Universe.
Further suggested reading is:
The Biology of Belief - Dr. Bruce Lipton - a cellular biologist and
researcher
The Dance of Life - Dr. V. Vernon Woolf - a transformational psychologist
and scientific researcher
Molecules of Emotion - Dr. Candace Pert - a biologist and researcher
Infinite Mind - Dr. Valerie V. Hunt - a physiobiologist and psychologist
researcher
The Biology of Transcendence - John Chilton Pearce - scientific researcher
Transforming Human Culture - Dr. Jay Earley - a transformational
psychologist
Ageless Body Timeless Mind - Dr. Deepak Chopra - a medical doctor and
researcher
The Field by Lynne McTaggart - a researcher
While I have not as yet read it, David C. Korten, author
of "The Post-Corporate World" has a new book out
entitled: "The Great Turning" which I am extremely
anxious to read. Korten's book the Post-Corporate
World was inspired by biologist Mae-Wan Ho whom
Korten accidentally met on an airline flight. There are
many papers available on the Internet by Dr. Ho relative
to all are worthwhile exploring.

Dear Muhammad Mukhtar Alam,
I agree. Those who want to heal the world must be able to unite with
others on universal moral values, irrespective of their particular faith
or set of spiritual beliefs. Here are those of CESJ that you may wish
to consider:
