Foreword

Some words of wisdom from famous physicists:

“[T]eachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal god, that is, give up that source of fear and hope which in the past placed such vast power in the hands of priests. In their labors, they will have to avail themselves of those forces which are capable of cultivating the Good, the True, and the Beautiful in humanity itself. After religious teachers accomplish the refining process indicated, they will surely recognize with joy that true religion has been ennobled and made more profound by scientific knowledge.” – Albert Einstein

“[C]ontrary to the strict division of the activity of human spirit into separate departments – a division prevailing since the nineteenth century – I consider the ambition of overcoming opposites, including also a synthesis embracing both rational understanding and the mystical experience of unity, to be the mythos, spoken or unspoken, of our present age.” – Wolfgang Pauli

“There can never be any real opposition between religion and science. Forms of religion which have a nihilistic attitude to life are out of harmony with the scientific outlook and contradictory to its principles. [T]heoretical physics … is a very active science and does make an appeal to the lay imagination. In that way it may, to some extent, satisfy the metaphysical hunger which religion does not seem capable of satisfying. But this would be entirely by stimulating religious reaction indirectly.” – Max Planck

“I assert that the nature of all reality is spiritual … [T]he modern conception of the physical world … deliberately left room for the reality of spirit and consciousness.” – Sir Arthur Eddington

We’ve done ourselves a great disservice by separating faith and science. Based on the ludicrous assumption that all children’s brains are identical, school curriculum persists in the fruitless exercise of teaching mathematics apart from quantities, social studies apart from history, reading apart from literature, and Creation apart from a Creator. In fact, our system of education has caused the most damage to true knowledge by presenting subjects of learning as if they are separate fields of study.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge …” – Hosea 4:6

When I started homeschooling my daughter, we ordered a pre-packaged curriculum. After a semester, my daughter said, “Why do I have to spend all my time studying stuff someone else wants me to know, instead of learning things that interest me?” That’s when we began unschooling, taking education out of the box in order to interact with the world as our classroom, where all knowledge is inextricably connected.For a thorough and enlightening exposé of schooling, read The Underground History of American Education, by John Taylor Gatto.

In a world where numerous philosophies claim to have the Truth, I need a better answer for the hope that is within me than: “It’s in the Bible, and I believe it.” This defense is merely one link in an endless and unbreakable chain of evidence for my faith. As a lifelong learner, I yearn to see Truth illuminated in all subjects of study. Literature and history are not the only disciplines where our beliefs may be strengthened. The more I expand my philosophy to include mathematics and science, the more strongly woven my faith becomes.

“… [S]cience can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion … science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” – Albert Einstein

Introduction

Physicists disagree about the number of revealed and hidden dimensions that exist in our universe. Some define ten or eleven dimensions; others say twenty-seven, while a few hypothesize an infinite number of dimensions. Common-sense types maintain that only three dimensions plus time can be supported, and the minimalists assert that there are only two: space and time. It is not my intention to prove or disprove any theory of dimensionality. My purpose here is to apply theoretical physics to a philosophy of prayer.

Thinking of prayer in terms of dimensions defined by the quantum mechanics (study of interactions between atoms and elementary particles) of a unified field theory (a theory capable of defining the nature of interrelationships among nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces) may be foreign to many. But for those who seek the true nature of God and their response to Him, a willingness to perceive Him in the study of all things is vital.

Interestingly, since the advent of the quark (smallest known building block of matter, categorized in three levels), nuclear scientists are returning to Einstein’s quest for the Theory of Everything. It seems that studying quantum physics is becoming increasingly similar to looking for God and finding irrefutable evidence of Him. Some physicist will even admit that the mere act of looking for the most elemental particle of all matter creates another, tinier particle! According to the proliferation of metaphysics literature coming from scientists, the very lure of the compounding Mystery is giving them an undeniable glimpse of the Creator.

“The more we progress with [both science and art], the more we are brought into a harmony with all nature itself.” – Max Planck

“[T]he exploration of the external world by the methods of physical science leads not to a concrete reality but to a shadow world of symbols … physics most strongly insists that its methods do not penetrate behind the symbolism … the mental and spiritual nature of ourselves supplies … interpretation.” – Sir Arthur Eddington

It’s time for believers to take a similar leap of faith and take God out of the box. The Creator needs neither our protection nor our definition. We’ve worked long and hard at building and decorating a beautiful cage for the object of our faith that looks disturbingly like an idol. Let’s look for the fingerprints of God in His creation, grateful for a small glimpse of His glory, without presuming to solve such wondrous Mystery in this life.

“… [I]t is the goal of science … to reduce the connections discovered to the smallest possible number of mutually independent conceptual elements. [W]hoever has undergone the intense experience of successful advances made in this domain is moved by profound reverence for the rationality made manifest in existence. During the youthful period of mankind’s spiritual evolution human fantasy created gods in man’s own image … science not only purifies the religious impulse of the dross of its anthropomorphism, but also contributes to a religious spiritualization of our understanding of life.” – Albert Einstein

“Many would hold that, from the broad philosophical standpoint, the outstanding achievement of twentieth-century physics is not the theory of relativity with its welding together of space and time, or the theory of quanta with its present apparent negation of the laws of causation, or the dissection of the atom with the resultant discovery that things are not what they seem; it is the general recognition that we are not yet in contact with ultimate reality.” – Sir James Jeans

Let’s begin this journey of discovery by exploring a path of Prayer …

Zero Dimensions: Thought-Point

Physicists will argue that Nothing never existed. Antimatter (matter composed of subatomic particles that interact with other elementary particles) yearns to become; to fill the vacuum. A void is actually vast potential. Before the universe existed, the void was full of possibilities. Prior to His Creative Word, God, like every artist, had a concept. We could call it the Big Idea. Zero dimensions represent the thought that led to Creation, voiced by the Creator thus: “Let there be …” (Genesis 1:3)

“When the Egyptians chose to depict the name of God and the creative Word, they did so by encapsulating both in the hieroglyph of the mouth – in essence a vesica piscis – a symbol similar to the shape a vibrating string makes. Just as the forms of sacred geometry emanate from the womb of the vesica piscis, so it is said that emerging from the one tone of Creation were seven gods, such as the Biblical Elohim, each of whom was associated with a specific task in the creation of the Universe. These gods were often depicted as rays emanating from a triangle of white light … the threefold nature of white light gives birth to the seven colors of the visible spectrum and the notes of the diatonic music scale.” – Freddy Silva, from Secrets in the Fields, the Science and Mysticism of Crop Circles

“… [S]cientists have come to feel more and more keenly that there exists in nature an order, a harmony, which is at least partially accessible to our intelligence, and they have devoted all their efforts to discover each day more of the nature and the extent of this harmony.” – Prince Louis de Broglie

The Flower of Life is an ancient Egyptian symbol containing remarkably advanced, esoterically graphic descriptions of scientific processes necessary to creation. The circle is considered geometrically perfect and inclusive, representing God. In Genesis 1, God’s Spirit moves out over the void. The first pattern created when two circles overlap is called the vesica piscis, representing the spoken word, or mouth of God in ancient history, and the fish symbol recognized in the Christian era. This intersection is known as the “seed” of the Flower of Life. Interestingly, Luke 8:11 records the words of Christ as He interprets the parable of the sower: “Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God”. John 1:1-14 defines Jesus the Christ as the Word which was God Himself as well as in fellowship with Him. This is a literary picture of the first vesica piscis that became the seed of all creation – a harmonic vibration that created a third circle, representing the Son of God. The resulting “trinity” of circles, still connected, creates a three-petaled flower of life.

I’ve forgotten who I am in You
I’m not who I’m meant to be
I’m drifting farther away from my destiny
Awaken Your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for You, Lord

lyrics from Awaken, by Natalie Grant

Consider the boundless choices of that one seed! What was the deepest yearning of antimatter? It was the response to God’s seed of thought; a transformation into His idea of reality. It’s as if every potential particle experienced a sort of déjà vu: “I’ve heard this sound before (even though I’m hearing it now for the first time)”. And long before 20th Century physicists called it the Superstring Theory (a postulate suggesting super-symmetry of particulate matter in the form of a hypothetical one-dimensional string of extremely short length), each antimatter particle reverberated with the Creator’s harmonic vibration. The first electromagnetic wave pulsed out over the void; a single note perhaps … and the song began.

In ancient Egypt, the Eye of Horus represented ultimate enlightenment. In Hebrew, El Ayin (which sounds much like our word, alien) means The Eye of God. Among many other symbols, the picture of an eye is clearly depicted in the vesica piscis of two flowers within the Flower of Life.

How does this relate to us? We don’t exist in zero dimensions. Or do we? If you had to describe yourself to someone who could not perceive dimension (someone without the senses of sight or touch) what would you say? Your form and appearance would be irrelevant. Your existence would be verified only by your words – harmonic vibrations conveying conceptual ideas. In zero dimensions, we exist as thought: God’s thought!

In his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize for his study of the atom, physicist Max Planck said: “As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together … We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”

Twistor Theory, a deeper application of Superstring Theory, suggests that points are actually by-products of intersecting lines – a concept that supports the idea that intersecting thoughts of a multi-dimensional Creator was the genesis of all matter.

“[M]athematics … originally worked out by a mathematician in terms of abstract thought, practically uninfluenced by contact with the outer world, and drawing nothing from experience … formed an independent world created out of pure intelligence.” – Sir James Jeans

Our own thoughts are conceptions of reality. It’s the first step toward materialization. Every creation starts the same way: an idea evolves into substance. Even babies are conceived long before birth. We are all artists. A daydream becomes a novel; a necessity becomes an invention. Matter responds to our energies in accordance with our idea, just as antimatter responds to the conceptual design of God’s creative thoughts.

“God is a mathematician, and the universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great machine.” – Sir James Jeans

So, how does this information relate to prayer? Prayer is thought responding to God, just as antimatter responded to the Song of the Creator. Prayer utilizes Twistor Theory when our thought intersects with God’s thought to converge into a point of creation.

Zero dimensions doesn’t seem like nothing anymore, does it? We’ve learned that it is the Genesis of all matter; a thought-point that harmonizes with antimatter to create reality; a prayer.

“[T]he universe can be best pictured … as consisting of pure thought.” – Sir James Jeans

Story Time

Julie was my tuning fork in A Capella class. We were in the soprano section, straining to reach B-flat, comfortable in the E-G range. Singing without accompaniment highlighted the slightest off-key note. Mr. Einarsson was a gentle perfectionist, willing to find the offender by demanding a solo phrase by each choir member. Even worse, Eric, a classically trained 16 year-old tenor, could hit any note in the register, shaming even the first sopranos. So, whenever Julie and I heard the faint vibration of our eardrums while singing one of the Latin hymns favored by our Christian teacher, we would turn toward each other and smile, confident we were in perfect harmony with the choir.

Thirty years later, I’m learning about quantum strings of electromagnetic energy (interaction of energy between electric and magnetic fields that exists in all matter) whose harmonic vibrations convert antimatter into reality. Superstring theory bridges the gap between nothing and everything. It expands the idea that the vacuum of space contains potential matter: the timeless expectancy of creation in response to a specifically tuned harmonic vibration. Maybe the Big Bang could be more accurately described as the Hallelujah Chorus of creation, responding to the Creator’s voice of love.

“Dr. Shiuji Inomata proposes that the vacuum state is an energy field in which consciousness is integrated with electromagnetic and gravitational forces to create matter.” – Freddy Silva

I never questioned Mr. Einarsson’s choice of music, until, as an adult, I wondered at his courage in choosing primarily religious music to perform in a public school in the late 1970’s. He might not have known it, but he may have been the best science teacher on campus, experientially inviting his students into the unfolding mystery of quantum physics! There he was, full of energy and passion, straining forward, balanced on his toes, his mouth forming each vowel, drawing the music from his choir with his baton as it swept through the air, creating electromagnetic waves that will be felt throughout eternity.

One Dimension: Connection-Line

If zero dimensions represent thought, the first dimension represents the trajectory of that conceptual thought. One dimension is the energy wave created when the thought-point interacts with the void, or antimatter. It’s like plucking one never-ending string on a guitar. Where does the thought-note lead? What does a one-dimensional wave create?

The first verse of God’s Creation Song began, “Let there be …,” promising an evolutionary step up from a conceptual point. Antimatter resonates with His melody, fulfilling its destiny by becoming matter. This reaction is what creates dimensionality. The Superstring has begun, as a connection between Creator and creation. Interestingly, in Biblical numerology (the study of the metaphysical influence of numbers), the number 1 refers to the Creator revealed as the one true God, establishing monotheism.

“The search for the ‘one’, for the ultimate source of all understanding, has doubtless played a similar role in the origin of both religion and science.” – Werner Heisenberg

“The image of the triune God is in the sphere, namely of the Father in the center, of the Son in the outer surface and of the Holy Ghost in the uniformity of connection between point and intervening space or surroundings.” – Johannes Kepler

A line also divides two areas. As we remember from high school geometry, a line goes on forever in both directions. It’s one-dimensional, so we cannot perceive it. Creation perceives a metaphysical connection to the Creator, as well as a division caused by the line.

From Genesis 1:4, we learn that antimatter responded to the Creator’s song by becoming a beam of photons (a particle of light energy, or energy that is generated by moving electrical charges) dividing light from darkness; day from night; and Time was born.

We can accept the Biblical account of creation by faith alone, or add the scientific evidence of quantum physics (the description of the particles that make up matter and how they interact with each other and with energy).

The photon is the basic element of all matter. The entire electromagnetic spectrum consists of light. A small segment of the EM spectrum vibrates at the same frequency as our eyes, allowing us to see color and form as the EM energy is refracted off of matter. Some light-waves vibrate at the same frequencies as our ears, enabling us to perceive EM energy as sounds (radio waves). Heat is the concentration of light on a surface. Literally everything we perceive is really a quantum (the smallest unit used to measure physical property) field of EM energy. Photons are constantly moving, creating endless waves of energy. But, as physicist Max Planck proved, light energy can be measured in minute packets, or particles. All matter is perceived as probable locations of energy reacting to other fields of energy. Everything is moving, yet connected by virtue of Light.

“Time and the heavens came into being at the same instant, in order that, if they were ever to dissolve, they might be dissolved together. Such was the mind and thought of God in the creation of time.” – Plato

Movement creates time(a dimension that measures the interval between two events occurring in the same space). Without EM energy creating quantum fields of matter, time would not exist. With movement comes change. Change creates time-fields we call past, present and future. The line of the first dimension divides Now from Then. It is the dimension of quantum time – the elusive present particle in the never-ending wave of time. Just try to quantify the present! The past is a memory; the future is a guess – both illusions. True existence happens only in the present. That’s why God defined Himself as I AM. He IS. He’s all that you perceive in the present because He is the Light! Like every artist, God is inseparable from His creation.

“For eternally and always there is only one now, one and same now; the present is the only thing that has no end.” – Erwin Schrödinger

The prince of peace, the son of man
The Lamb of God, the great I AM
He’s the Alpha and Omega
Our God and our Savior
He is Jesus Christ the Lord
And when time is no more, He is

lyrics to He Is, by Aaron Jeoffrey

Physicists are determined in their quest to find the fundamental element of all matter. I envision a day called the Big Crunch (a hypothetical end of universe when all mass is contracted back together when its expansion is sufficiently allowed), when nuclear scientists look into the very depth of Creation and discover …

Sadly, this paper will never be published because this very act of dividing matter into a unit too small to exist in time will cause the end of life as we know it!

Some physicists may never admit it, but they are searching for GOD. Someday, after decades of theoretical calculations and particle-smashing, the ubiquitous photon will have reached the limits of expansion, and the resulting contraction will absorb all matter faster than the speed of light, creating an eternal moment of pure energy.

Maybe it’s possible to harness this magnificent power today. When we look for the element of GOD in every situation, I suspect that both time and space expand to fit His purpose as all potential energy becomes a concentrated form of His power.

“[A]ll things, including subatomic particles, are ultimately made of God.” – Ken Wilber, American philosopher

“We may wince at the vulgarity of suggesting that the purpose of physics is to know the mind of God, but this could be … the objective of many great thinkers both in antiquity and in the modern era.” – Hugh Lawson-Tancread, from his introduction to Aristotle, The Metaphysics

If God is Light interacting with all matter in the present, enabling us to perceive reality, shouldn’t we concentrate our thought-prayers on the current situation? And because all matter consists of quantum fields of energy responding to other sources of energy, it should be possible to create a metaphysical line that changes reality in real time. This is why God created light to connect us to Him.

“God is light … the Universe, born of an irradiance, was a downward spiraling burst of luminosity, and the light emanating from the Primal Being established every created being …’ Dionysius the Areopagite, quoted by Freddy Silva in Secrets in the Fields …

In The Divine Conquest, A.W. Tozer wrote: “We habitually stand in our now and look back by faith to see the past filled with God. We look forward and see Him inhabiting our future; but our now is uninhabited except for ourselves. Thus we are guilty of a kind of pro tem atheism which leaves us alone in the universe while, for the time. God is not. We talk of Him much and loudly, but we secretly think of Him as being absent, and we think of ourselves as inhabiting a parenthetic interval between the God who was and the God who will be.”

Story Time

When I was sixteen years old, my bedroom was downstairs, adjacent to the garage, away from the main living areas of the house. It was two flights away from the bathroom, but allowed my twin sister and me to enjoy our own respective “space”.

From young childhood, falling asleep has always taken me at least half of an hour. One night, as I lay in the dark, thinking, I heard the strings on my grandmother’s zither that I displayed in my room being strummed. Shocked and frightened, I held my breath and stiffened my body as my mind raced to imagine the cause. My bedroom had a window that faced the street, so my first horrified assumption was that someone was in my room. Soon, logic prevailed and I admitted that no person could be in my tiny room without my prior knowledge. Could one of our cats have rubbed up against the instrument? Or did a leaf from my hanging plant fall through the strings? When fear subsided, I turned on my lamp, got out of bed and took a good look at the zither, which rested on a small carpet on the floor and leaned up against the brick wall of the lower chimney. No cats were lurking in the room (the door was closed), and no leaves were on the floor. Baffled and shaken, I returned to bed, shut off my lamp and dismissed the possibility of sleep. Within minutes, the sound was repeated! Fully and consciously engaged in my surroundings, my ears caught it all. It sounded as if someone was deliberately strumming every string on the zither! Knowing no one was in the room with me, I snapped on the light to try to decipher the mystery. I strummed my fingers down the zither to mimic something (invisible?) falling past or through the strings. Amazed, I learned that the mysterious sound I had heard was the strumming of each string from the floor upward!

By now, I was at a loss. I returned to bed, mystified and fearful. Soon, however, my fears were relieved by an undeniable sense that God had been trying to get my attention. Until this point in my life, I had received only the slightest religious training found in sporadic church and Sunday-school attendance at a church that did not emphasize Biblical teaching. Yet, the Creator of the Universe was reaching toward me, and the experience left me with the confident knowledge that God had claimed me.

I began to read my Bible, concentrating on commandments that would make me worthy to be a child of God. It wasn’t until years later that the gospel of Christ was presented to me in a way that helped me begin to understand the Savior’s work of grace.

Two Dimensions: Truth-Plane

We’ve become acquainted with an evolution from the zero dimension of Thought to the first dimension of Connection to God and all creation in real time. The second dimension refers to Light squared (l x w). The line becomes a plane – Thought vibrating in two dimensions. According to Biblical numerology, the number 2 represents division, or the second person of the Trinity.

Light is EM energy. Einstein defined energy as mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. E = mc². (Lest you panic at the thought of wrestling with the famous Theory of Relativity, rest assured that we will be exploring philosophical applications here. No quantitative calculations necessary!)

Let’s consider what we already know about this equation. Mass is the measurement of inertia (the tendency to remain at rest) in matter. It’s different than weight; it’s the amount of force needed to move an object. C represents the only constant in the universe: the speed of light. Everything else moves in speeds relative to light. So c² is the measurement of light squared. The beam of photons becomes a plane of photons – a wall of EM energy.

“To bring this harmony more completely into the light, to glimpse yet more the ontological order … such appears to be the true mission of pure science.” – Prince Louis de Broglie

According to superstring theory, the strings may exist in one dimension, but create a plane through movement. (Imagine the pattern made through space by a string moving sideways.) A plane is an imperceptible dimension (to us, anyway). It has length and width, but no height (or depth). Genesis 1:6 and 7 describes a separation between heaven and earth. Creation scientists conclude that, in the beginning, God created a hydrogen barrier in earth’s upper atmosphere. Besides the pervasive photon, hydrogen is the most common element in the world. Because light is the energy that interacts with matter to create elements, science verifies the probability that hydrogen may have been the first element to emerge in creation as photons were multiplied by photons, manifesting an EM plane.

So, this limitless plane between heaven and earth could be earth’s hydrogen capsule that became rain during the Great Flood of Noah’s time. (A plane does not need to be flat.) Is it merely coincidence that we speak in metaphysical terms about our prayers “hitting the ceiling” or calling for God’s blessings to “rain down”?

What happens when mass is bisected by pure energy? Think of an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) – a plane of light that bisects a body to see everything inside. Reminds me of Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than a double-edged sword, able to divide soul and spirit; joints and marrow, discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

This two-dimensional plane of light illuminates our motives and acts like a laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation – this focused light energy is used for precision measuring, cutting, and fusing in many areas of science and medicine. Important applications also exist in areas of communication, sound recording and holographic display) knife to separate divine intentions from our base nature. Modern science has proved the purifying power of the ultra-violet rays of light in applications from laundry to blood disorders! In fact, by virtue of the lens of the eye, light gains direct access to our bloodstream. The miracle of photosynthesis illustrates the potential of light creating energy for life in plants.

Current physics suggests that space exists in only two dimensions until an infinite measure of gravity bends that space. This idea implies that all change is a result of mass harnessing the power of the infinite. Thought-waves traveling at light-speed, create gravitational fields that interact with matter to alter the states of mass.

Sky falls down, it crumbles into the sea
The sun goes out – He’s coming back for me
I’ll be found at the place where gravity leaves the ground
I won’t be comin’ down

lyrics from Sky Falls Down, by Third Day

The 2nd dimension is an invitation to interact with Truth. Mass, energized by Truth creates powerful waves of change. E=mc².

Story Time

My daughter has done an extensive study of comparative religion. She discovered the idolatrous roots to many Christian practices and holidays, including Christmas. Her research motivated our family to examine the reasons and ways our lives turned upside down in December of every year. Did we really want to be celebrating a holiday created to honor the birthday of a corrupt Babylonian named Nimrod by decorating a dead tree with offerings of pretty baubles and gathering ‘round the altar/hearth to appease the fire god?

The holidays in the Bible consist of the prophetic feasts of the Lord. Besides the fact that Jesus could not have been born in the midst of winter (shepherds don’t camp out with their flocks in the cold season), we are never commanded to celebrate His birth – only His death! And why would we celebrate it by giving gifts to each other? The apostle Paul admonishes those who would honor one day above another. As followers of The Way, we should celebrate the Sabbath every day. Don’t even get me started on Santa Claus!

Coupled with the rampant materialistic idolatry of the present age, this historic information resulted in our rejection of traditional Christmas activities and attitudes. The blatant extortion of retailers in using sentimental traditions to push their wares onto harried consumers from October to January under the guise of a religious celebration becomes more disturbing to us every year.

In response to these truths, we had a yard sale featuring all of our holiday décor. The proceeds were sent to a missionary friend serving in Kiev, Ukraine, during the time of the Orange Revolution (the contentious Ukrainian presidential race of 2004). The citizens of Ukraine were camping out in Kiev during an election postponement in the winter, committed to oust a candidate that may have been involved in poisoning his opponent. Churches in Kiev ministered to the physical and spiritual needs of the masses in the city square during this time. The money we sent was used to purchase a pair of boots for a volunteer sentry guarding the tent city! I can’t wait to meet that person someday.

“Just as this barrier between science and mysticism is crumbling in our laboratories, when the accounts of the crop circle phenomenon as imprinted across our landscapes begin to transform the foundations of what we were once taught, our view of the Universe will be shaken.” “Facts can be unwelcome because they have the power to disturb. But if you are open to facts, you are encouraged to seek and to discover the Universal wisdom, which, ultimately and ironically, already reigns within you. I entered this pursuit with an open, objective, and atheistic mind in 1990, only to emerge humbled eleven years later with a newfound belief in and respect for life and its Creator.” “[S]eeded within the crop circles is a manual offering all citizens of this precious jewel of a planet a unique opportunity to rediscover their potential during these critical days of change … a reminder of where we come from and a signpost to where we are headed.” – Freddy Silva

The science of quantum physics is an invitation to let go of long-held beliefs and conceptions about the very definition of matter, and entertain metaphysical ideas about music, sacred geometry and transcendent dimensions. A startling recurrent theme becomes clear in the conclusions of many authors wrestling with the mystical facets of science. Imminent dramatic change is the theme sung by the mystics of our age.

During a visit to Indian City, Oklahoma in 2004, our Native American tour guide admitted that tribal chiefs were encouraging young men to relearn the ways of living off the land, convinced that the country will soon face cataclysm. According to my Judaism teacher, orthodox rabbis believe the Messiah will come soon. Christian evangelicals are preaching that we are living in the end times, and the meta-physicians claim that creation is vibrating at a higher frequency, triggering a cosmic shift in awareness leading to a transcendental existence.

Turns out Third Day’s upbeat song anticipating the Rapture (mystical transportation to the spiritual realm) is based on harmonic frequency dynamics! Certain stimulation, including harmonic tones and deep meditation (like prayer) creates vibration in the pineal gland of the brain causing the sensation of floating or flying, and in some cases, physical levitation. Perhaps this describes the state of mind receptive to the Rapture.

The second dimension, or plane of truth, challenges us to discover a synthesis of reality. When every major belief system is anticipating cosmic change, maybe its time to “look up, for your redemption is nigh”.

“But you, Daniel, shut up these words and seal the book [of prophecy], even to the time of the end when many shall run to and fro, searching anxiously, and knowledge shall increase greatly.” Daniel 12:4

Story Time

Learning about the pineal gland triggered a memory from my childhood that has defied previous explanation. During the ages of around five to ten years old, I would lay in bed waiting for sleep as I watched three or four finger-shaped objects flicker above the bedroom door. I knew they were a construct of my mind (I probably asked my sister if she could see them too. She probably thought I was crazy.) yet I could not “turn them off”. I often felt compelled to watch their movements until I fell asleep. Also during this age, I was also convinced that I would get up in the middle of the night, walk to the landing at the top of the stairs and launch myself into a flight pattern around the house. I clearly remember seeing rooms and furniture from the perspective of looking down from above. If someone told me I was just dreaming about flying, I would argue adamantly that I was awake during these episodes.

Could I have been projecting the activity of my pineal gland onto the wall? Did meditating on this vision put me into a transcendental state?

I’m afraid that we lose much of our connection to the supernatural after childhood. Instead of rejoicing in the mystery, we become indoctrinated by a culture that fears the paranormal and tries to deny its power.

One morning, years ago, when my daughter was two years old, she came downstairs in her usual groggy, waking-up way to find me at the dining room table recording a disturbing dream into my journal. I was trying to translate the symbolic experience into the truest sense, using the limited media of words, when Ellen came up to me and said, “You’re sad, aren’t you, Mommy? You can’t reach it through the dark water.” Then she walked away. In my dream, I had been unsuccessfully trying to grasp some jewelry I had dropped into a shadowy stream!

It’s only as I write this that the interpretation of this dream becomes clear. Real treasure lies just beneath the surface – it’s there, we can all see it, but we give up too quickly, pulling ourselves away from the shadowy depths to a less mysterious and more rational, albeit more shallow, existence.

Three Dimensions: Song-Cube

In the beginning, Creation was the creative thought of God. Light connected everything to Him in real time. Then Light invited creation to participate with divine energy. Now, we have a dimension created by factoring a plane by one more dimension: mass. What happens when we increase something by an exponent of three? C becomes c³, or cubed. Nuclear physicists theorize that the photon-based elementary particle string may be a closed string that can take three-dimensional form.

“God forever geometrises.” – Plato

The simplest solid is the tetrahedron, 1/2 of a 3D Star of David and basic crystal formation of quartz, which makes up 90% of the earth.

Biblical numerology assigns the number 3 to the idea of Trinity!

The Star of David is no arbitrary symbol. The multilayered, entwined triangles necessitates three-dimensional space. The six angles and sides, divided into two objects, are a reference to the separation from and rejoining of creation to the Creator.

In Genesis 1:7, God begins to sing another verse, creating matter. All three- dimensional objects materialize, from land to plants and animals. Spinning electrons connect to create three-dimensional space. These are the manifestations of antimatter that resonate with the Creator’s melody in ways that interact with the plane of Light. Could carbon, with its unique and versatile bonding ability, be a product of hydrogen multiplied by photons? Remember, according to EM physics, light interacts with matter to create tangible form and visible color. Carbon is the basic element of all organic matter. Apply enough light to any rock, plant or animal and the result is a little pile of carbon ash!

“Sanskrit, (like ancient Egyptian, Aramaic, Tibetan, Chinese, High Javanese, and Hebrew) is a language held to be sacred because it was faithful to the Word of God, the ‘language of Light.’ Hence, its characters were considered ‘sounds of Light’. Its syllables were believed to hold geometric vibrations that harness the powers of Light and the octaves of sound to create matter.” – Freddy Silva

All creation that we can perceive with our senses is 3D. Antimatter, responding to EM energy, begins vibrating at complementary frequencies. Sounds like a harmonic chord, doesn’t it? Now, creation is actually singing along to the Creator’s tune! It’s called cymatics, or electromagnetic harmonics, in which vibrating frequencies (source of sound) create geometric solids. Imagine a particle point, resonating to God’s voice, manifesting waves of energies emanating in all directions from the thought-point like a star.

“With the appearance of rings, the crop circles brought an unmistakable association with the chemical elements of life, particularly oxygen, water, and hydrogen molecules. The central crop circle encircled by four satellites … became the first recognizable logo due to the resemblance of the Celtic cross. This is the central life-force or God holding the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire in equilibrium … This symbol is known in chemistry as the carbon atom, the very symbol of the human being.” – Freddy Silva

The spherical nucleus and orbital “star” at the root of every atomic action gives mankind the sacred geometry used in every religion to bridge the gap between heaven and earth. Egyptian and Mayan pyramids, Eastern mandalas, European cathedrals, Celtic runes, Tibetan prayer wheels, circular Nordic churches, Native American dream catchers and sand paintings are just a few examples of humanity’s attempt to perceive God.

Symbols, like poetry, contain more dimensions of information than mere factual descriptions of matter. The Greek word for symbol is symballein, representing a boat for transporting sacred information between intuition and physical reality.

From the microscope to the telescope, scientists have discovered symmetries in creation. Our solar system is a giant replica of an atom. The double helix of a DNA strand is a tiny version of the Milky Way!

Ancient Greeks and Egyptians founded their scientific and mathematical studies on the pursuit of a greater understanding of the Divine. They knew that analytical examination of creation would give them a glimpse of the Creator.

Euclid, Fibonacci, Copernicus, Newton, Einstein and Feynman found the elegance of mathematical genius in every facet of nature. Precise, programmed patterns designed into every level of our existence are the fingerprints of God. As our knowledge increases exponentially, we’ve learned through quantum physics that, in its very basic form, matter consists of infinitesimal units of harmonic energy.

Fibonacci Series (also known as the Golden Mean): unending series of numbers in which each number except for the first two is the sum of the preceding two, e.g., 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 … Such sequences frequently have applications in botany, psychology and astronomy. Leonardo Fibonacci, 13^th century mathematician.

Intoning the sound “om” actually aligns fine powder to form the letters om on a metal disc! Om is the root word for amen, meaning “let it be so”, similar to the translation of God’s own creative words, “Let there be …” We say, “umm”, when we are thinking of the best words to convey our thoughts. It’s not just a method of stalling – these melodic vibrations harmonize with our brains to create a name for a metaphysical idea. The sound creates a vibratory connection between our synapses to help us recall the appropriate word!

Sanskrit word “om”, symbol for the first creative word of God. (Look at this symbol sideways.)

The first language representing monotheism has no vowels. The Hebrew alphabet consists solely of consonants. Until words are spoken, the language has no “voice”. Scripture gives a blessing to those who hear the Word of God. Apparently, Judaism recognizes the power of creative harmonies. The very name of G-d is not vocalized, to avoid profaning His glory.

Fred Alan Wolfe, Ph.D. suggests that sacred (secret) knowledge becomes disconnected from the Soul (profaned) when it is shared.

God called Moses to record the story of Creation when He commanded, “Moses, listen!”, or “Musa ke”, in the Egyptian language. Sounds a lot like our own word for music, doesn’t it? Music is organized into octaves. Interestingly, the atomic number of oxygen is 8 – the element God ordained as the “breath of life”. Perhaps photons cubed inspired oxygen atoms!

As 3D beings, inspired by the breath of life, we vibrate in harmonic resonances that make the whole world sing! Ever wonder why David wrote so many prayers in song form? I propose that he knew, perhaps as instinctively as breathing, that prayer is the way creation aligns its atoms in a harmonic accompaniment to the Creator’s voice. In fact, singing is the act of blowing our breath back toward God and all of His creation in response to the richness of life. Some lament that, in this life, they can’t “carry a tune” and anticipate a more melodious voice in Heaven. There is a scientific reason music is closely associated with worship, as we yearn to re-harmonize ourselves to the Creator’s melody.

You are my oxygen
I breathe You in
I breathe You out
You are my oxygen
You are what life’s about

lyrics from Oxygen, by Avalon

Worship tunes us to the sound frequency of the Holy Spirit, who “… helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs [songs?] too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” (Romans 8:26-27)

“[T]he process of creation … requires the presence of both sound and light. In Egyptian cosmology, Atum Ra, the Sun god, is said to have created the Universe with a ‘cry of light.’ In Greek philosophy, logos, which means ‘word’ and ‘sound’, constitutes the controlling principle of the Universe as manifested by speech.” – Freddy Silva

Hmmm … Secrets in the Fields, the Science and Mysticism of Crop Circles, by Freddy Silva. This book caught my eye, sparking a curiosity that has ignited into an active pursuit of Einstein’s elusive “Theory of Everything”.

Crop circles seem to be a manifestation of harmonic geometry created by the full spectrum of electromagnetic energy waves in dimensions that transcend our three-dimensional existence. Witnesses to crop circle formations testify to hearing tones, seeing balls of light, and experiencing marked changes in the energy fields upon entering the huge designs. Scientific studies of crop-art reveal perfect geometry based on advanced mathematics that corresponds to the harmonic scale. Physical and chemical changes to the grain stalks suggest microwave or laser technology. The designs themselves represent scientific, astrological, mathematical and spiritual significance. Yet, other than sloppy imitations, genuine crop formations are created within seconds or minutes and with mathematical precision that transcends freaks of nature or hand of man.

The Pythagorean studies of odd and even numbers and of prime and square numbers cultivated the concept of number, which became the ultimate purpose of all proportion, order and harmony in the universe.

Before we let our imaginations run wild with extra-terrestrial theories, let’s consider basic laws of physics:

• Everything that exists consists of atomic energy. In fact, matter is actually an illusion, created by the way we interact with the vibrating frequencies of electromagnetic energy. Matter is energy. We perceive energy as sound, light and mass. Mass is actually an imprecise field of possible locations of atoms. Without atomic vibrations nothing would exist. In other words, all creation is humming with energy!

• Digging deeper, we learn that electromagnetic energy consists of “quantum” too small to be measured in terms of time or space. The very foundation of all matter takes place in a higher dimension. We understand that we live in a 3D world of length, width and height. Using memory and imagination, we perceive time in three dimensions: past and future as well as the quantum field we call “present”. Quantum energy, while manifesting in three dimensions, operates beyond the constraints of matter. Most physicists define the fourth dimension as space+time. Therefore we can deduce that electromagnetic quanta exist in the “hyperspace” of omnipresence.

Paradox of Parmenides: Being is; not-being is not. Nothing outside of Being can define being or cause change. Therefore, Being is eternal and unlimited in space and time. Changes are illusion.

Imagine the center of one of the six-petaled flowers as containing another hidden or microscopic Flower of Life that inhabits all of time and space and you might be able to imagine hyperspace.

What does this have to do with crop circles? We know these mysterious formations exhibit radio waves (audible humming), light waves (visible spectrum of electromagnetic waves in “balls of light” and crop design), and microwave or laser waves (exhibited in chemical changes in the grain stalks). Experts document radiation and gravity aberrations in the formations as well. These are all 3D phenomena, but fail to explain the cause. What if gamma rays (energy from dying stars that easily penetrate matter) and/or powerful cosmic waves (hydrogen-based, traveling at relativistic speeds similar to light) are involved? These frequencies exist outside earth-time – they originate light years in the past, yet are studied by a race of people (us) light years in the future. Because gravity exerts force on the grain stalks (bending them to the ground), and EM energy is documented above ground, we can envision a crop circle design in hyperspace: circles become spherical fields, extending above and below the ground. We just see the two-dimensional design as if drawn on paper. Now, we are dealing with the 4th dimension of space+time. In fact, using our imaginations, we can wonder if these crop formations exist in 3D past and/or future as man-made architecture or even satellites! What we can deduce is that these formations probably exist in a dimension that transcends our own existence; otherwise we could perceive their creation process.

Interestingly, a large percentage of crop circles appear near religious ceremonial sites in England. One of the most amazing formations manifested near Stonehenge, an ancient astrological observatory. Apparently, EM waves are attracted to geological formations that still reverberate with spiritual energy! Many cathedrals were built over these sites, as well. The Bible documents rock monuments erected by Israelites in honor of God’s intervention in that time and place. By linking the past with the present and future (since future travelers would interact with a historical landmark of spiritual importance), were they creating an energy field of praise? Hmmm. Maybe there is such a thing as holy ground!

We know that prayers were intoned at religious ceremonial sites near crop circle phenomena. Worshippers meditated on the holiness of the Creator with words and song. Even now, many people respond to a Higher Power by saying “Om” or “Amen”, which have the same root word: omen – meaning spoken prophecy. It’s the cosmic sing-along of “Let it be so, on earth as it is in Heaven” reverberating in all matter in a transcendent dimension. Note the fact that “omen” is inhabited in each moment (quantum time). Omni is the prefix meaning “all” in the words that best describe God’s power: omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. When we use a moment to allocate supernatural power, we are literally speaking prophecy into existence.

We now enter the field of metaphysics. Hannah Hurnard, author of Hinds Feet on High Places, defines believers as “God’s Transmitters”, creating a telecommunication link between God and our fallen world. Stormie Omartian calls praise “the prayer that changes everything.” Prayer creates reality. (Jesus wasn’t just using metaphor when He told His disciples they could tell a mountain to be moved!) Spoken or sung prayer, common in many faiths, re-orients human electromagnetic frequencies to God’s harmonies. Religiously speaking, we are agreeing with the Almighty that we are powerless without Him and it is only by being infused with the Light of His Glory (Christ) that we are capable of transcending our fallen existence. With this Light – the ultimate creative power – we influence events in higher dimensions. In 3D existence, these events look like miracles. Maybe they look like crop circles.

Flatland, A Romance of Many Dimensions, by Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926) provides a classic, imaginative description of how three dimensions looks like mysterious, miraculous events to the “flatlanders” that exist in only two dimensions. This exercise gives clues to how events in higher dimensions may be perceived by those who live in 3D space.

Music is a recurrent theme in physics because vibration which causes harmonic energy resonates between all quantum particles. The sacred language of light and life is found in song.

According to ancient Egyptian texts, the F-sharp chord was the harmonic of our planet. As a point of interest, many crop circles are accompanied by a shape that can be interpreted as a key, musical note, banjo, or letter F. When exposed to notes in the A-B range above middle C, cancer cells disintegrate!

While taste in music seems to be highly subjective, perhaps we deceive ourselves by not recognizing the objective power of music. Even my daughter has noticed that the offering plate at church is passed more quickly during fast, contemporary choruses than slower hymns, resulting in less revenue!

Instead of following current trends in music, settling for nostalgic tunes or even relying on first impressions, let’s pay attention to what the music we listen to actually creates in and around us. I’ve noticed that if I listen to songs from my teenage years for very long I become self-centered and impatient. Pop music seems vacuous and shallow to me. Songs by John Michael Talbot and Fernando Ortega produce a healing calm in my spirit. Upbeat tunes by Third Day, and Salvador energize my faith, while the praise songs of Newsboys and Selah transport me right to the Throne Room.

Throughout this book, I’ve included lyrics to songs that complement chapter themes, but it becomes obvious that this is only a two-dimensional perception. Hearing the melody, harmonies and rhythms of the music invite us, like all matter, into higher dimensions of reality.

Four Dimensions: Time-Space

The previous chapter hinted at it: the next dimension is time+space, or the movement of 3D objects. In fact, we can’t even perceive three dimensions without movement (think of a globe: it looks like a flat circle until it or we move to see other sides). Every dimension of existence necessitates movement at quantum level, but now we have movement on a macro scale. Gravity (the force that creates an attraction between all particles) influences changes in and on the earth, influencing vegetation growth and animal activity as well.

God’s Thought, vibrating in four dimensions, is manifested as the woven tapestry of all matter. The number 4 represents earth, or Creation, in sacred numerology.

Gravity enables particles to influence movement and change in other particles. Every movement creates a quantum shift in the environment, which sets up a certain set of conditions to which other matter responds, ad infinitum.

Mathematically strange things happen when an infinite series is added. Once a series reaches infinity. x = 0 becomes x = 1! Nothing becomes something when the infinite field of the force that attracts all particles to each other (gravity) is added.

According to quantum dynamics, movement creates energy waves (electricity) that influence and reverberate off matter like a never-ending pinball game. Science also proves that atomic particles are attracted to others (gravitation), creating energy and matter to fill a void.

When you are away from home for several days or weeks at a time, your house may seem unfamiliar, “flat”, or lifeless. That’s because there has been a lack of electrical energy produced through movement. Many cultures and faiths utilize dance (especially in a circle) to create religious energies.

Obviously, gravitons (a hypothetical particle considered to be the quantum particle of gravitational interaction), another product of light-energy, exert influence in micro-dimensions, contributing to quantum change as a precursor to macro change. But large scale movement, utilizing exponentially greater chunks of time and space actually shrinks our world! (There’s that Theory of Relativity, again!)

Cars, trains and jets have reduced travel time from a walking pace (about 3 miles per hour) to hundreds of miles per hour. Telegraph, telephone and email communication can send our words around the world in seconds. Distance is no longer a barrier to movement. I can “be” across the world as quickly as I can cross the street. This means that each individual influences vastly more time and space today than at any time in history.

“Science has established that the physical world is made up of atoms spinning at very high rates. In questioning the nature of the Universe, many physicists and meta-physicians have developed an understanding that different rates of spin govern different states of matter, even consciousness.” “When objects from other levels of reality alter their rate of spin they are observed as increasingly physical phenomena in our dimension.” – Freddy Silva

Four-dimensional prayer is energy produced through gravitational movement – physical, mental and spiritual – that responds to a necessity by harmonizing with other energy, in tune with the Creator’s melody of Truth, creating matter to fill a void. Gravity, as an infinite force, transforms zero dimensions of thought into the dimension that represents our direct line to the Creator. Some people call these phenomena miracles. Scientists call it physics.

The word gravity also refers to the lower tones in music!

There are many examples of movement-enhanced prayer. Buddhists use prayer-wheels. Jewish believers incorporate davening: praying while rocking, swaying and dipping their bodies. Native Americans conduct prayer dances. Some believers employ walking a labyrinth while praying.

Maybe movement is prayer – acting on faith that demands trust in God for every move. What would happen if we all stepped out in the kind of faith that attracted all other matter to the harmonies of God?

The fourth dimension of movement cannot be illustrated in the 3D medium of paper. Film and video-taped action must have astounded those who could not have previously imagined seeing movement or what appeared to be a two-dimensional surface like a screen. Similarly, holograms were unimaginable until laser energy was developed. What higher dimensions await the discovery of perception?

Story Time

My daughter, Ellen, and I attended the Passionate Pursuit conference at the new and luxurious Gaylord Texas Resort in Grapevine, Texas, in late October of 2004. One of my favorite recording artists, Fernando Ortega, provided music between lectures by Anne Graham Lotz and Jill Briscoe. From Anne, we learned that the Holy Spirit can only fill what measure of ourselves we sacrifice to God. From Jill, (by the way, who knew she could be so funny?!) we learned that praying is a way of life, like breathing.

After one of Jill’s intense and emotional lectures about talking with Jesus on His “front porch”, she told us to imagine ourselves going to visit Jesus at the front door of Heaven. I closed my eyes, and instantly discovered I was already there. The scriptures say we are already seated with Christ in Heaven (Ephesians 2:6). I believe it.

What is a prayer? Let’s do an experiment with grammar. What is a teacher? One who teaches. What is a singer? One who sings. What is a writer? One who writes. So a prayer is … ah! – one who prays. If you pray, you are a prayer. I don’t know when the word prayer became a verb. Maybe it’s because we’ve turned it into something we do instead of who we are. Prayer is a noun.

I’d love to hear someone say, “That’s Oletta. She’s a prayer.”

What does that look like? Would it look weird? Maybe it looks like a walking conversation with God – “dancing” to His tune; resonating with the Word made flesh. Maybe it looks like Jesus – God’s Prayer that walked among us and now sits at the Father’s right hand, still interceding for us, inviting us to be His Prayers.

For years and years, I’ve delivered monologues to God instead of enjoying a running dialogue with Jesus. Conversation with Christ becomes “declarations of constant dependence upon Him”, as Jill would say. This lifestyle demands obedience in response to communion with the Lord living in me.

Maybe a Prayer looks like this:

I can’t go any farther.
There’s no other way.

I’m not strong enough.
Go weak.

I need a rest.
Go tired.

I’m not well.
Go sick.

I’m in pain.
Go hurting.

I’m a coward.
Go scared.

I’m lost.
Follow Me.

But this road leads to the Cross!
Keep walking. We’ll talk along the way.

Five Dimensions: Self-Conscious

“All the choir of heaven and furniture of earth, in a word all those bodies which compose the mighty frame of the world, have not any substance without the mind … so long as they are not actually perceived by me, or do not exist in my mind, or that of any other created spirit, they must either have no existence at all, or else subsist in the mind of some Eternal Spirit.” – George Berkeley, Idealist Philosopher

By now, we realize that we exist as our Creator’s thought, in a quantum connection to Him, relative to His incomparable power, harmonized into matter, and energized through movement. The particle of Light that began as God’s thought is now factored to the fifth power. Photons multiplied by movement could be defined as consciousness. As mobile matter, animal life becomes aware of separateness of identity (a being with a psyche (id) is called an (id)entity) caused by independent movement. Because mobile life creates dramatic awareness of quantum time, animals (especially humans) have the ability to think, “I am”. Descartes said, “I think, therefore I am“. Thought takes place in the quantum time-field of the present.

“We are that which asks questions.” “Concern with truth is one of those things which make up the spiritual nature of Man.” – Sir Arthur Eddington

In Biblical numerology, the number 5 represents grace – a state of continual individual acknowledgement of personal sin and acceptance of forgiveness based on Christ’s work of salvation. No past or future righteousness is good enough to purchase God’s love. Only present, conscious belief in Messianic fulfillment puts us in right standing with the Creator.

Prior to the dimension of mobile existence, matter rested in cosmic awareness – inseparable from the Creator’s thought, and responding in harmony with all matter. While animals behave instinctively in harmony with nature, self-consciousness defines the human race as life created in God’s image, having dominion over all other matter on earth. Adam was commanded to name the creatures, thereby quantifying them as nouns, making them real. Everything that has a name exists. I suspect Adam and Eve also named everything else they perceived as well, claiming dominion over creation as caretakers. We do the same thing today. One who makes a discovery has the privilege and responsibility of its labeling and management.

“Mind is, by its very nature, a singulare tantum. I should say: the overall number of minds is just one. I venture to call it indestructible since it has a peculiar timetable, namely mind is always now. There is really no before and after for mind. There is only a now that includes memories and expectations.” – Erwin Schroedinger

When we pray for something, we call it by name, making it real. We claim dominion over antimatter, alerting it to a void so it can resonate with the Creator’s thought. Electromagnetic energy harmonizes with the antimatter to materialize into a miracle. The I AM of conscious thought is powerful. Jesus said, “You do not receive because you do not ask.” A conscious prayer is one that is aware of time as EM wavelength controlled by light that interacts with all energy on a particulate level. This energy, even the potential energy of antimatter, yearns to harmonize with the powerful energy of the omnipresent I AM. Ask, and if the void exists, you shall receive. A prayer is the tuning fork of consciousness. If I am, I perceive a present void, resonate with God’s creative song and declare dominion over matter by adding the “lyrics” of prayer. Antimatter responds by creating harmonic geometry that fits the need like a previously missing puzzle piece.

Story Time

My daughter and I go to the local synagogue every week to teach English to mature Russian immigrants. We are often recognized and praised for our volunteer service, yet we are more frequently moved by the blessings we receive from our precious students.

“Zdrawstvitchya! Dobray ootra!” This greeting was directed to me, personally, instead of to the whole room, as is usual. “Hello and good morning to you, Stan*,” I replied. Stan sat down at my students’ table. We were waiting for his teacher to arrive to start class. Stan likes to flirt a little, using sarcasm and one-liners to practice his new English skills with the ladies. I prepared myself for his light banter. Yet, this was the first time he had sat down to talk to me. I asked him if he still has family in Russia. He said that his son was buried there. I sensed that this was a time to listen, not to teach. After a short pause, he swept his eyes around the room and said that none of the students would be in the room if Russia had lived up to her promises. Russia was home, but the United States provided true opportunity for success. Stan told me that here one could work hard and be creative and earn a living. In Russia, one is told to work and think hard for the future, but tomorrow never comes.

He said he remembered just before WWII, when the Nazis came to take away his parents and brothers. He never saw them again. He looked up and smiled weakly, saying, “Life is very hard sometimes.” I felt tears prick at my eyes. Then I asked him if he had recorded his memories for his grandchildren. He said no, that his stories aren’t any different than any other Russian’s story. Moved, yet unconvinced, I gently scolded him, saying, “No one saw it through your eyes, Stan.” That’s when he looked back at me with moist eyes and conceded, “No, you are right.”

Stan smiled again after a moment, laying aside the napkin he had been folding and refolding, confessing, “I don’t know how I am speaking English now.” I understood him to mean that his memories were pouring forth to share with me without thought to laborious translation.

He told me about a young man he saved from death, who had been gravely injured in the same manner that had killed his own boy, resentful that no one had saved him. A quiet moment passed and he noticed that his teacher had come in to the classroom. “Oh!” he softly exclaimed, as he stood up from the table. He looked at the clock and back to me, apologizing for monopolizing my time and thanking me for listening to an old man ramble on. “No, no!” I replied. Spahseeboh, Stan. I thank you!

*Name has been changed.

Stan has passed on since this story was written, but I like to think that this experience will live on in eternity, like an electromagnetic wave of blessing. It’s amazing to me how God can use His servants to create a patch of holy ground when we use a present moment of awareness to honor a memory and offer hope for the future.

The more I study Judaism, the more I am impressed by the traditions that use the quantum time of Present to glorify the promise of Light by honoring corporate remembrances.

Story Time

When my missionary friend (who used to teach English in the same immigrant program) moved to Kiev, I crocheted a colorful afghan for him. Upon inquiry at the local UPS store, I learned that it would cost $400.00 to send it to Ukraine and it might take months! The afghan found its home with a local missionary. But this was the genesis of my personal ministry of crocheting afghans and giving them as encouragement gifts to those in need. A friend at church, who had a former student at her school that lost her toddler son to cancer, gave one of them to this desolate young mother. This young Jewish woman cried with gratitude upon receiving the blanket, telling her former teacher and friend that she had been praying for a healing hug. Now, she said, she could wrap the blanket around her anytime she felt the pain of losing her baby. One of these afghans warmed a missionary family from Mexico, that was spending a winter in Michigan with their six newly adopted children. Another afghan can be found in the home of another family (of the same name!) that adopts teenage girls.

Several years ago, the local newspaper featured a story of the desperate need for families to adopt Russian orphans. Although I did not sense the calling to fly to Russia and begin adoption proceedings, the story struck a resonant chord in my spirit that motivated me to pray for the families that would adopt these abandoned children. Within the year, while attending a homeschooling fair with a friend, she introduced me to a woman she happened to run into who had just returned from bringing home her tenth adopted child from Russia.

I am a link in a superstring of blessings. Tuning my spirit to the Creator’s frequency makes me a particle that can transfer creative energies to nearby particles, motivating antimatter to fill a void. The wave of positive vibration is quantum mechanics that takes place in dimensions higher than our perception.

Six Dimensions: Will-Choice

The Bible says Adam and Eve’s “eyes were opened” upon eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 3:7). All they had known until this time was goodness from the hand of God. Now they perceived that something was missing. They felt uncovered and estranged from God because they had yielded to the temptation of doubting the Word (spoken harmonic) of the Creator. Suddenly, their individuality was more perceptible than the symphonic tapestry of the Lord revealed in Creation.

According to a philosophy inspired by sacred geometry, Satan (the Deceiver), in an attempt to mimic the role of the Creator, began by dividing spirit into a dual-seeded egg of life. This process developed into the Tree of Knowledge. By consuming the “genetically altered” fruit from this tree, Adam and Eve were introduced to an unnatural separation from Creation and their Creator.

Will was born – consciousness multiplied by choice. Sin is conscious energy choosing to harmonize with a song not sung by the Creator. That’s why God asked, “Adam, where are you?” His creation was not reverberating to His melody. The number 6, like the Davidic star, represents a division between God and man.

Adam was not responding to the God-Song and all of creation suffered the discordant reverberation. The Superstring of harmony was severed and the whole world was out of tune, all because the first man and woman had responded to the siren-song of the Tempter: “You can be like God if you eat from that tree.” Forgetting that their Creator had done all that was necessary to stamp His own image on them from the beginning, they sought another way. I AM became I WILL. They took a bite from the forbidden and were poisoned by the seduction of living for the fickle future. Their souls became separated from the One.

When a well-tuned guitar is plucked, the same well-tuned string on a nearby guitar will resonate to the same energy wave by humming faintly in response. A well-made gong will “sing” long after the hammer blow has struck.

The opposite theme is just as powerful. Consciousness multiplied by choosing to resonate with the Creator’s harmony is a force without equal. The sixth dimension of prayer is consciousness choosing God’s will for the future. It’s the opposite of doubt. It is complete dependence upon the lyrics God has ordained for our lives – the kind of trust that gives sure step to the conscious will tuned exclusively to the First Song.

“There is only one thing … what seems to be a plurality is merely a series of different aspects of this one thing, produced by a deception.” – Erwin Schrödinger

True Light multiplied by choice always results in divine will. If we harmonize with and reflect the true Light, the photon waves will follow the path that is ordained for blessing. The Creator’s melody becomes a literal lamp unto our feet, as the EM energy travels the spectrum from radio waves to visible frequencies.

I will follow You through green pastures
And sing hallelujah to Your name
I will follow You through dark disasters
And sing hallelujah through the pain

music and lyrics from All My Praise, by Audrey Hatcher, sung by Todd Smith of Selah

Story Time

In one of my devotionals at Ladies’ Bible study, I illustrated the comparison between Michal and Hannah as they struggled with their faith. While Hannah set her emotional burden of infertility down in the Temple and resumed her domestic life, Michal became embittered with disappointment, taking her frustration out on her husband, David, by ridiculing his exuberant faith. I suggested that the reason Michal remained childless while Hannah conceived was because one of them had planted the one, tiny mustard seed of faith she had left into the fertile soil of complete trust in God’s will.

My friends in the room were attentive in their compassion and sympathy for me, knowing that I had struggled for years with infertility. They knew my own supply of faith had been all but exhausted after all the medical treatments I had undergone. But I had a surprise ending to my lesson this time. I informed them that I could now identify with Hannah, for I was three months along in my pregnancy. My friends were jubilant, but I didn’t want them to miss the point: it was only when I finally fell to my knees and told God that if I conceived, all the credit would be His, and if I did not, He would continue to receive my sacrifice of praise in the form of tears.

Michal was barren because she did not cultivate her faith. Hannah conceived because she entrusted her faith to its author and finisher. I, too, had been forced to choose. Would I continue to clutch desperately at my last seed of faith, or let it fall, irrigated by tears, accepting whatever grew from that holy ground? I knew full well that God could have chosen to let me reap the blessings of an empty womb. But I knew I would not be barren, because He would never forsake me. I believe it was at that very moment that I conceived my daughter, not based on the strength of my great faith, but because I fell fully upon the mercies of the Lord, entrusting my future to Him without reservation.

Seven Dimensions: Christ-Purpose

Light, multiplied to the power of seven (the greatest single prime number, representing the Christed, or perfected state), is purpose. Will, multiplied by the Light of the World, carries out the Creator’s purpose according to His omniscience, weaving His perfect will throughout eternity. This is the dimension that repairs the Superstring.

Christ Yeshua is the Purpose ordained from the beginning, when God promised a Savior who would redeem mankind from sin. Everything depends on Him. All of history will be His Story. The Superstring is woven as a priestly garment in honor of the purpose He accomplished for the Father’s glory. Ephesians 1: 9-11 defines this Superstring: “For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. In him, according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will, we who first hoped in Christ have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of his glory.”

God’s Son is the Father’s prayer. The void was so great between the Creator and His creation that Light was made manifest in Christ. This is the highest calling – to be the Father’s prayer in a darkened, broken world. We are called to make an electromagnetic connection with the source of Light and carry that energy to disconnected matter. That’s the Father’s prayer for us – an invitation to be joined with His Son in divine purpose.

“To live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21

We “plug in” to Christ by making a conscious choice in each present moment. Even a rudimentary understanding of physics testifies to Light as the Source and Sustainer of all matter. Electromagnetic waves, responding to the first creative Amen, materialize to meet the present need in harmony with God’s will. A Christed or seven-dimensional prayer is tuned to the Creator’s pitch by seeking and serving His purpose: re-harmonizing all matter to resonate with praise for the Creator. That’s why He declared that if His people did not sing His praises, the rocks would begin to cry out. Perhaps we are hearing this in the form of earthquakes – great discordant efforts of minerals crying out in vain attempts to find the right key.

Mystery, how He came to be a man
But greater still … what love is this
That death was His plan

lyrics from Mystery, by Todd and Angela Smith

Our highest purpose is to hear God’s love song singing over us and keep it going like an eternal round. A restoration to cosmic, or Christed consciousness empowers us to access and activate antimatter on earth. When the new heaven and earth is our home, we will not falter in our purpose of praise. The Superstring of harmonic EM energy will never be broken and matter will no longer decay. Every element will be supercharged with perfectly balanced energy so that nothing interferes with God’s blessings. This will be Heaven, in accordance with the laws of physics and faith. There’s no way to be so heavenly minded that we’re no earthly good because if we seek the Kingdom of God as our first priority, every earthly blessing will materialize.

“[T]he idea of a universal Mind or Logos would be, I think, a fairly plausible inference from the present state of scientific theory; at least it is in harmony with it.” – Sir Arthur Eddingington

Story Time

I made my mother-in-law cry at my son’s wedding. I read a poem I had written for the occasion. It was a prayer, asking God to make me a blessing to my new daughter-in-law, as my mother-in-law has been to me. My husband’s sweet mother has blessed me in many ways over the past twenty-two years. Most importantly, I know she prays for me. She once told me that when she has trouble sleeping, she takes it as a sign from God to pray. Bert prays the alphabet. I am the honored “O” in her prayer list.

Recently, our monthly church­wide prayer meeting used the ACTS model to facilitate group prayers. Adoration became a spontaneous outpouring of praise for our Heavenly Father. Confession was a quiet time of reflection and humility, preparing us for shared Thanksgiving. Supplication found me partnered with John, whose heart was burdened by the needs of a friend dying of cancer. The Holy Spirit poured forth through my tears as I prayed for this stranger loved by God.

Prayer is the answer to every need, and I am called to bless and do battle through prayer. But there are so many needs! I know I must “pray without ceasing”, yet sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the task. Recently, I have been using acronym prompts to guide me into constant prayer. Upon waking, I may use the word MORNING to direct my thoughts toward God. Make me Your vessel, Lord. You are the potter and I am the clay. Order my priorities to honor You with every thought, word and deed, Holy Spirit. Remind me of every teaching I have received through the Word – the very essence of Your holy Son. Nail my past failings to the Cross so that I can live in grace and serve in freedom. I am not God. Help me submit my will to Yours, Father. Never let me forget the power I have been given to overcome the enemy. Glorifying God is my goal today!

I don’t memorize the prayers – I just use the first letters of words to get me started. I may think of a friend as I’m going about my day. How can I pray for Cheryl? Cast your cares upon the Lord, my friend. He can handle your worries! Hang on to hope, Sister. This too shall pass! Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father above. Count your blessings to restore your energy. Repent of doubts and mistakes. You are forgiven. Release those burdens. You are loved by God – rest in His strong arms. Live in victory that has been claimed by Jesus. Look ahead to receiving the crown of eternal life.

I decided to share this idea with the teenage girls in our homeschool co-op. They each received a copy of some acronym prayers I had invented. HUGS is based on Christ’s ministry. Heal in Jesus name. Unify believers. Glorify God in all things. Submit to the Father’s will.

For whom should we pray? GRACE reminds me to pray for Guardians (all those in authority), Relationships (family and friends), Acquaintances (those I will meet or want to know better), Commissioned (missionaries and ministry leaders), and Estranged (unbelievers).

My five “P” prayer is based on the model prayer Jesus gave his disciples.

PRAISE – Praise and honor God
PROVISION – Ask for his provision for all needs
PARDON – Forgive and be forgiven
PROTECTION – Put on the armor of God to fight Satan
PURPOSE – His Kingdom is our priority

I left some blank space for the girls to think of an acronym prayer of their own, but each one surprised me by inventing several prayer prompts and enthusiastically sharing them with the others.

Every day is filled with words. Words have creative power – just think of the powerful influence of God’s Word. I want to harness that opportunity by creating praise and blessings as I pray words of all kinds. Work in me Your purposes, Lord. Obedience is my goal. Righteousness is my reward. Deeds that glorify You reap eternal blessings. Sow in me the sacrificial faith needed to produce blessings, my Lord.

For Mothers’ Day, 2005, my husband and daughter treated me to a concert featuring one of my favorite Christian music artists. As Bebo sang Borrow Mine, he closed his eyes, lifted his head, rose up onto the balls of his feet and put one hand on his chest, crying out my prayer for a friend whose faith was being tested.

You can borrow mine, when your hope is gone
Borrow mine, when you can’t go on
‘Cause the world will not defeat you when we’re side by side
When your faith is hard to find, you can borrow mine

lyrics from Borrow Mine, by Bebo Norman

The physical act of making a connection with one’s hands during prayer illustrates a circuit of electromagnetic current. Could this be a literal circuit that gives energy to our prayers? Imagine the powerful harmonics created in corporate prayer, when a group of “prayers” come together to share the same thought-wave, create an electrical circuit by holding hands and energize the void to respond when they all intone “Amen”!

“Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven.” Matthew 18:19

The collapse of the wave function is a theory by physicist Roger Penrose suggesting that a specific configuration of elemental particles can produce a graviton. Since gravity, in any amount operates with infinite force, the probable wave function collapses, transforming space-time, eliminating all but one possible physical result.

Superstring of Conclusions

Now that we know that we are God’s Thought, connected to Him, invited to respond to Truth in each moment, conscious of both Creator and creation, able to choose His will over our own, and called to divine purpose, how then should we live?

The pastor of the church I attend likes to use the illustration of a tiny dot to signify our earthly life, and an endless line to describe eternity. “Live for the line”, he preaches. Far from being a semantic metaphor, this is quantum physics in layman’s terms. As products of Light, we are both particle and wave energy. Prayer is particle vibration that creates electromagnetic waves in harmony with God’s will. Go ahead – make some waves.

One of the most intriguing things I learned in my study of physics is the fact that elemental particles can, and regularly do, produce extra charges of energy for the sole purpose of sharing them with other particles. As long as this energy is borrowed temporarily (like a cosmic game of hot-potato), these extra charges of energy don’t “count”, and the mathematically precise balance of positive and negative energy in the universe is undisturbed. The implications are staggering. At any given time, countless multitudes of photons, electrons, bosons, mesons, etc. are passing quantum bits of power to each other as the need arises. This implies that atoms, and even quarks themselves, are conscious. Is this so surprising, considering that the Light of the World is conscious?

During a long, traumatic and debilitating illness, I read a book called Things Unseen: Living in the Light of Forever, by Mark Buchanan. Suddenly, as I was reading one of the chapters, I became overwhelmed with the fear of everyone I knew that was experiencing physical or emotional pain. Overcome with this burden, I confessed in my spirit that if the disease didn’t kill me, the weight of bearing other’s pain would. That’s when it occurred to me that this is exactly what killed our Messiah. The fear that results from doubting our eternal connection to God is too great to be borne by one consciousness. Those who have suffered or are suffering grave illness understand that the experience of dying is found more in the fear of being separated from life than the breakdown of physical systems.

You’ve got all things suspended, all things connected
Nothing was forgotten, ‘cause Your love is perfect
You are our Healer, You know what’s broken
And we’re not a mystery to You

lyrics from Mended, by Watermark

As I researched this book, those authors that dealt with the metaphysical and religious nature of physical science and sacred geometry concluded that our response to this knowledge should be love and compassion, consciously reconnecting to the One. Jesus Christ as Savior accomplished this purpose, yet our world does not accept the power He provides, namely freedom from the fear of being separated from God. Until this true Sabbath is realized on earth as it is in heaven, those who have tasted spiritual liberty are called to share the burdens of others with love and compassion as we all endure the challenges of the great changes ahead.

The Prayer of Jesus

1 After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all people, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do. 5 So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed.

6 “I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you; 8 for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them.

11 And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. 15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one. 16 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20 “I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

24 Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 “Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

In the five-fold symmetry of a quasi-crystal, atoms demonstrate a consciousness of global or non-local order of development, suggesting that distant points are directly connected in space-time. In other words, these crystals seem to know how to “grow” to fit patterns defined by previous formations!

The earthly ministry of Christ was a living example of the sacred meanings of every symbol we encounter. We are all aspects of the I AM. Our consciousnesses are separated from each other and from God due to sin. Jesus taught that we overcome this separation only by consciously reconnecting to the one Soul from which all energy and matter flows. (See John 17) If physics (and faith) teaches us anything, it is the truth that there is only ONE and we are but vibrations of the Creator’s glory. This is the Theory of Everything.

We may think that we alone, as higher forms of matter, accept the calling to be prayers. Actually, every bit of creation is a prayer, resonating with the God-Song in unique ways that influence nearby particles. The vocation of prayer seems overwhelming outside the context of physics. There are so many needs; so many voids to fill! How can we translate this great commission into our day-to-day lives? The famous German physicist, Werner Heisenberg, attended the renowned University of Göttingen. Inscribed upon the wall of the physics auditorium are the Latin words, “Simplex sigillum veri“: “the simple is the seal of the true”. Let’s apply this rule of science to our practice of prayer.

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one Lord, and you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul and might.” – Deuteronomy 6:4-5

Let Jesus be your example. He prayed for those “given to him”, energizing a few quantum strings to harmonize with their respective electromagnetic spheres, and so on. An atom has three layers or “shells” created by electrons orbiting the neutron/proton nucleus. Think of your own three spheres of influence.

Your relationships are not arbitrary. God has entrusted specific people to your care and prayer. Those closest to you in proximity and emotion represent the first sphere. The second sphere consists of family and friends with whom you have occasional contact. The third sphere contains acquaintances and people you’ve heard about from the media and friends or family. Don’t forget to pray for yourself. You represent the nucleus – the power core. Without a strong power source, you won’t be able to produce extra energy to share.

The Davidic emblem symbolizes the words: “As above, so below” – words attributed to The Emerald Tablets of Thoth

Is it a coincidence that the concept of an atom has such a close resemblance to the Star of David?

Learn to redeem the time. In her first newsletter of 2005, Anne Graham Lotz made herself accountable to the thousands on her mailing list by announcing her resolution to plan her day around prayer, instead of the other way around. If our purpose is to be prayers of Christ, our priorities need to support that high calling. Success takes planning and organization. Besides thinking and acting like a prayer in every situation, use your daily planner, daily news and contact list like valuable tools for effective intercession. As you read your daily Bible passage, have your journal beside you to translate the verses into living prayers. Insert appropriate names of those that come to mind as you transcribe the prayers into your journal.

Finally, remember that through praise, you will vibrate at the same frequency as the Creator’s melody, and your “particle” of prayer can’t help but create an eternal wave of harmonic blessings that resonate with all matter as each string responds to the song that turns antimatter into miracles.

Application

• How do you create extra energy to share?
• How would you support the theory that light is conscious?
• How can Prayers become like quasi-crystal formations?
• Why do you think the atom and the Star of David are similar?
• Why do you have the friends you have? Do you think of them as your sacred charges?
• Create your three lists describing your spheres of influence.
• How will you maintain a high level of energy to share?
• How will you organize the tools of a Prayer?

Afterword

We’ve explored seven possible dimensions of prayer. I tend to think, since God is infinite, He created an infinite number of dimensions for us to discover in our eternal endeavor to know Him and worship Him in spirit and truth. In fact, most scientific theories concerning dimensions include the idea of compacted, or curled up dimensions that transcend our experience. I believe this verifies the existence of Heaven.

“And the heaven [upper atmosphere] departed as a scroll when it is rolled together …” – Revelation 6:14

“[T]he host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll …” Isaiah 34:4

I try to imagine photons multiplied to the eighth power. The sacred meaning of the number 8 is a new beginning. Christ, multiplied by Himself, could represent Resurrection. I suspect that our resurrected life as Prayers may resonate uniquely in the glorified harmonic scales found in Heaven.

The ninth dimension, representing final judgment in Biblical numerology, suggests ultimate justice meted out by the Lamb who alone is worthy to judge. As His Prayers, we would reflect the glory of His justice.

We could expand this exercise to include higher dimensions, but I can’t help wondering if all further dimensions are subsets of our eternal life in Christ, as proclaimed in Ephesians 1:9-11.

Hmmm … another subject for study, perhaps.

What began as a curiosity about crop circles quickly escalated into full immersion into the study of physics. Reading as many as four or five texts at a time, I discovered a strong metaphysical pattern developing that, for me, bridges the gap between science and religion, strengthening my faith. That bridge is built of change – represented at the quantum level of all matter and in an attitude dedicated to making every thought into a prayer.

“… bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” – 2 Corinthians 10:5

In my recent study of an introduction to the Jewish mysticism of Kabbala, the journey of faith consists of one’s efforts to separate the spirit with its higher goals, from the body which exists for base pleasures. Yet, just as one attains a higher level of spirit-life (pleasure in the Creator’s will), one must plead with Him to draw one further away from the body’s persistent desires. Our own efforts fall woefully short of the power needed to deny the carnal nature, regardless of our desire to attain spiritual wholeness with God. The humble prayer of total dependence upon the infinite power of His Light and our connection to it is the sole method of attaining an internal energy that reacts with all of life in miraculous ways.

It is my hope (and seven-dimensional prayer) that this book invites the reader to cross the bridge of science for a glimpse of deeper personal faith immersed in such great, mysterious adventure.
