THE WORD “GOD” CARRIES BAGGAGE

“UNIVERSE” SEEMS A COMFORTABLE SUBSTITUTE

I think it a bit odd that there seems to be fear of using the word “God”. On the other hand, “God” has become so burdened by foolishness, superstition, and God knows what all, we can never be sure a listener won’t categorize us as fundamental woo woos if we speak “God this, God that”.

Not that I really care how I’m seen, but in the remote chance I might say something worth hearing, I’d hate to lose that rare opportunity because the word “God” threw someone’s listening switch “off”.

Frankly, I am pleased that since science is broadly and seriously considering the probability that the universe is more than conscious, but is indeed “the Great Mind” that is the source of the universe, and all else. Sounds kind of like an authentic reference to the ineffable “God” who can’t be named or described doesn’t it?

I like this because it marks another step toward the unification of science and spirituality. I’ll never forget the first time I thought, “Since science seeks Truth, and spirituality seeks Truth, if both are true to their course, they must meet at a singularity”. That thought was 57 years ago when the separation was vast.

Now the gap is narrowing. We are coming to a greater realization that the most authentic Quantum scientists are our new mystics, leading the way, behind David Bohm, in the exploration of mind, consciousness, and reality itself.
