About the Book

INTRODUCTION

When I was a child, I understood two kinds of reality—the physical reality of every-day life and the spiritual reality, sort of a combination of the human and divine spirit with a concept of religious beliefs to bridge the two. My mother answered my boyhood questions about the Scopes Trial wisely with: "Son, God did it all, now the way He went about doing things was His business, not mine." I was taught to keep the boundary of my sphere of knowledge flexible and eager to accept new information into it. Thus, there were never any questions about evolution vs. Creation, and the Book of Genesis was always symbolic in my mind. I understood the cave men—Cro-Magnon, Neanderthal and other hominoids—as factual ancestors; understood that humanity had God-like qualities; and smugly felt my God was "bigger" than the God of those who insisted that God looked like a human; and in particular, a tall white-haired, robed man with long flowing beard, burning eyes and a finger pointed directly at all our guilt. While I was taught that humanity was created in God’s image, I felt it was the spiritual—not the physical—image that was involved. I certainly didn’t expect God to look like me!!!

People in my generation have lived our entire lives with a concept of two realities—physical and spiritual—with Religion bridging the two. I now know that even when I was born (1924) scientists knew the two realities were interconnected in Quantum Mechanics—that even a single human thought was a physical, quantum event.

Unfortunately, the rhetoric between Science and Religion on matters of the ultimate causality has wavered between the ridiculous to absolute stupidity. It would be quite funny if it weren’t so serious. Surely we can and MUST do better!

In the process of removing Religion from our schools, we have basically restricted the teaching of moral/ethical matters to Religion and home teaching. Remember those old homilies, "Honesty is the best policy, the truth will out, and the chickens always come home to roost?" Here, you will find these are not matters for religion, but are factual principles or "laws" of nature just as valid as the physical "laws" of nature. But, back to the argument between Science and Religion:

Religion—Hard-core Fundamentalism in particular—tends to interpret the Genesis story of creation literally, complete with Instant Adam and Eve having language ability despite the hard proof of primitive hominoids (such as Cro-Magnon Man) and their artifacts. Unfortunately, the boundary of their faith seems to be a crystalline shell that would shatter if forced to accept ANY contradicting facts. On the other hand, Science just as stubbornly refuses to acknowledge ANY facts unless those facts can be completely explained; and this, even though Science knows beyond doubt that something is going on in the spiritual realm—the psychic phenomena arena as only one example. As if humanity can ever know the totality of all truths! East is east and West is west and never the twain shall meet! SURELY WE CAN DO BETTER.

Simply put, while there is much argument about Religious details, about TRUTH, we all tend to agree. However the universe came into being, it did so in accord with principles or "laws" of truth. If God did it, there was some WAY He went about doing things and He certainly didn’t violate any "laws" in the process. If God exists, He exists in TRUTH. If He doesn’t exist at all, that also is the TRUTH of the matter. If God exists, but in some form or manner different from Religion’s general concept, that also is the TRUTH of the matter, and it behooves us all to find the better description.

Since Science and Religion both profess to seek the truth, we are therefore going to ask both Science and Religion to accept a common statement regarding the ultimate cause of things—The Presence of Truth—without which all would be chaos. Remove the Presence of Truth from a single atom and its constituent parts would be free to act, react or interact in any haphazard manner whatsoever. If there were even a fracture in the Presence of Truth in your neighborhood, you might drive to the end of your block, turn left and actually be in the Sahara Desert! The Presence of Truth is probably the most powerful "stuff" in the universe—it is the very essence of all reality—it establishes and somehow enforces ALL the principles or "laws" of the universe. We will further suggest that within the totality of this Presence of Truth there exists a sentience—consciousness—sense of awareness such that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without being noticed, nor does the spin of one of a pair of entangled electrons get measured without that data also being known wherever the other electron happens to be.

You will be led through this in much the same manner these ideas solidified in the author’s mind. Those of you who believe on blind faith alone will find a factual understanding of God and those who were not believers before will find a spiritual understanding. We all do have inescapable relationships with the Presence of Truth (sorry Atheists, you’re already "believers!").

While the majority of the book is slanted towards moral/ethical principles or "laws" which are suggested to be just as valid as the physical "laws" of nature, it is hoped that mainstream Science will pull its head out of the sand and acknowledge that something is going on in the spiritual/psychic/intuitive nature of humanity; and will commence to bring some of these factual matters into the realm of proven knowledge.

You will not find this book an example of scholarly writing. This author has neither the talent nor the desire to pretend and prefers a direct style of communicating to the reader, as if this was a personal letter. In all things, you are promised complete honesty. However, TRUTH always seems to ring its own bell; and it is prayed that in this book you will find a whole lot of ringing going on!
