The Physical Universe as a Divine Quantum Information Structure (by Peter Kohut): The information essence of the Universe dominates over its physical aspect. Its dynamic hierarchic information structure is a manifestation of a divine Mind with its Idea (Intelligence), so the Universe is rational and comprehensible for us. Our individual consciousness as a part of universal consciousness of God deals with information carried by energy. Only consciousness can give the real sense to information coming to us from the objective world through energy supporters. Divine universal as well as our individual consciousness (subject) create the internal side of the Universe reflecting its external side (object) represented by structured quantum energy as a holder of divine information structure and architecture. Information encodes the creative power of consciousness. The physical Universe (non-living and living Nature) with its unbelievably rich information contents is a true food for our senses and our mind in the process of our conscious cognition and creativity. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/176

Bhrgu: The God of God Particle (by Pinaki Ganguly): It is suggested that there exists a conceptual proximity of Rishi Bhrgu with Higgs boson. It also brings Higgs field and gravity within its fold. One has to marvel at the intuitive powers of the human mind, and the Vedic Rishis are the finest example of that. This is a queue that Nature has given us and missing it will cast us in darkness. Thus it is said that, Bhrgu is the “God” of “God Particle”! http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/179

Natural Philosophy: Beyond The Undulant Quiescence (by Iona Miller): Like pandisciplinarian research, natural philosophy explores the cosmos by any means necessary to understand the universe. A strategic model retains usefulness for comprehending our own nature in the environment, beyond yet integrated with the models of science. Transgressing the fortified boundary between natural science and the humanities, the hidden language of the archetypes of nature helps us translate the dynamics of our Being and Becoming. A multidisciplinary approach can present and explore a variety of theories without advocating them, ideally leading toward best practice. Complexity demonstrates a science of surprise that supersedes the boundaries of nature and culture, transcendental theorizing or unreflexive presumption.

How can we understand the various cooperative effects of systems, whether they belong to physics, physiology, psychology, biology, etc.? In contrast to the analytic reductionism of classical science, systems philosophy integrates theory and philosophy to foster reorganization of thinking and knowing perceived reality. Rather than explaining what things are, we explore and describe how things work. Meta-narratives bind society and cultures together, integrating events and actions into meaningful patterns. The world of experience remains one of perceived reality and worldview. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/210

An Ongoing Model of Reality (by Alan J Oliver): The distinction between the physical reality and Prespacetime has been called the virtual state in some papers. For the sake of consistency I will use the latter term. In the virtual state the five elements would exist, as Bohm and others have suggested, as information in potential. It is interesting that the ancient teachers of Yoga described the finest particle as being a point without mass, adding that where a conjunction of these points occurs, a point with mass can appear. One could say their observation is analogous to a scientist’s description of the particles which pop in and out of empty space. What I draw from this is that every real particle of matter has its virtual potential in the virtual state. What is less obvious is the likelihood that this potential exists outside of the dimension we call time. Moving our focus to the point of the Big Bang, a moment in which there is an absence of matter, such as the state of a singularity or the Big Crunch, there would be a potential corresponding to that state, capable of triggering the appearance of the precursor to the formation of hydrogen, resulting in a new state which involved space and time in the physical sense. Thus the evolution of reality unfolded. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/211

Holographic Archetypes: Top Down & Bottom Up Control of Personal & Collective Consciousness (by Iona Miller): There is a pre-physical, unobservable domain of potentiality in quantum theory. It is the basis of fundamental interconnectedness and wholeness of Reality. The human body is not an object in space, but seamlessly welded to spacetime. We are not merely a phenomenal body of flesh, but one of awareness, of consciousness, a living interface of inner and outer field phenomena. The brain is not confined to our skull, but permeates our whole being through the intracellular matrix and sensory system, as well as the strong EM fields generated by the beating heart. Archetypes are rooted in or emerge from the holographic source field as attractors, chaotic systems having fractal or reiterative structures that repeat at all levels of observation. They never settle into equilibrium, periodicity, or resonance. Transpersonal experience creates a new interpretation, or perspective on reality. Systems arise from positive feedback and amplification. Thus, archetypes introduce erratic behavior that leads to the emergence of new situations, including creative insight. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/209

The Whole Sum Infinity: Merging Spirituality and Integrative Biophysics (by Iona Miller): We all have our own metaphysics – a worldview – whether we are aware of it or not. Science can and should contribute to that worldview of how things are and work, but should not monopolize it. We should locate scientific understanding within a wider view of knowledge that gives equally serious consideration to other metanarratives and forms of human insight and experience. Perhaps we must learn to respect both domains to understand fully the world in which we live. We can conveniently call the scientific perspective “physics” and the stereoscopic view “metaphysics,” which goes beyond (“meta”) the purview of science alone. Both provide what we can call a meaningful “working” knowledge of reality for getting things done, whether they are an entirely accurate reflection of Reality, or not, until science solves the final riddles of existence. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/208

How the Brain Creates the Feeling of God: The Emergent Science of Neurotheology (by Iona Miller): In creativity and meditation we seek in a fully conscious way, willfully cooperating and facilitating the process not only of connecting with God, but experiencing oneself in the process of “becoming” god. The absorbed ego no longer perceives itself as a separate expression of consciousness, but as the same essence as All. We can become technoshamans, using the process of altering our consciousness through spiritual technologies. Even “lesser” mystical experiences have significant implications for spirituality and theology. It is the nature of the mystical mind to have such experiences and they have altered religion. So, a thorough understanding of how the mind/body functions to generate them is extremely useful. Paradoxical physiological mechanisms operate in the body under most conditions to chemically prevent the attainment of higher states of arousal on either end of the spectrum. But it is possible, with repeated exposure to the paradoxical situation to function effectively at higher levels of conjoined sympathetic and parasympathetic arousal, traditionally associated with sacred experience. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/207

The Nonlocal Mind Paradigm: A Transdisciplinary Revision of Mind-Body in Philosophy, Art & Science (by Iona Miller): There is a pre-physical, unobservable domain of potentiality in quantum theory. It is the basis of fundamental interconnectedness and wholeness of Reality. Nonlocal consciousness is not confined to specific points in space, including brains or bodies nor the present moment. It is an ordering principle that can inject information into disorganized or random systems. It can operate beyond mere awareness, unconsciously, drawing on individual and collective consciousness, as well as the world or environment. Coherence or resonance may be expressed as compassion, empathy, love, unity, oneness, and connectedness.

Consciousness affects or informs human and nonhuman or inanimate forms alike. Consciousness is present everywhere in spacetime, so has no need to “go” or “be sent” via a medium or carrier. Synchronous events, including intentional or directed healing, may work via coherence, an entanglement or resonance effect, but we should be careful not to mistake this field effect for the mind itself, which permeates and undergirds all. Still none of us has any idea how anything material could be conscious, so we must simply stand in that Mystery. We share its essential nature; it is the cosmos within us. We are that. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/206

On Calculation of Elementary Particles’ Masses (by Alexander G. Kyriakos): In a previous paper we showed that the existence of the size of the electron does not contradict the quantum field theory. This allows us to consider the electron and other particles as an electromagnetic volume resonator, capable of holding electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency. We assume that the reason of appearance of the mass spectra of elementary particles is the addition of nonlinear electromagnetic waves to this resonator. As it is known the solution of Schrödinger equation for electron in a potential well of final depth there has a limited number of own levels of energy. We assume that this limitation exists for the masses of some families of particles, e.g., for the family of leptons, which has only three generations. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/311

The Non-linear Theory as String Theory of Compton Wavelength Scale (by Alexander G. Kyriakos): The theory of strings has many interesting and important potentialities, but it cannot be verified because of smallness of the Planckian length scale. Below we will show that the nonlinear theory of elementary particles (NTEP) can be considered as a string theory, just like modern string theory, but in Compton’s wavelength scale. In this case, the mathematical abstractions of the last theory, such as space with a number of dimensions greater than 4, supersymmetric particles and other things that were not found by experiment, are not required in a real theory. However, the possibility of constructing a relativistic theory of gravity in string theory must not be rejected and can be considered in the future theory. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/312

An Alternative to the Quantum Leap Paradigm (by Paul A. Kannapell): The primary purpose of this paper is to offer one alternative to the familiar quantum leap model. The key question is this: Is a sequence of different identical particles appearing and vanishing indistinguishable from one particle moving discontinuously? http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/284

One More Proof that There Is a God (by Himangsu S. Pal): Now it may be true that there is indeed a God, or it may not be true. If it is true that there is a God, all the non-beliefs of all the atheists on earth will not be able to make Him non-existent and unreal even for a single fraction of a second. God will still exist defying all the non-beliefs of the atheists on earth. Similarly we can say that if it is true that there is no God, then all the beliefs of all the theists on earth will not be able to make Him existent and real. In this essay, I show one more proof that there is indeed a God. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/173

Relation of the Chaos Equation to God Perceived by Pascal, Nietzsche & Nightingale (by Hideaki Yanagisawa): There is no reported equation that explains God. Evolutionary theory and many methods for rearranging thoughts were explained by the chaos theory. In this article, I explain God by a variable of a chaos equation as done in other previous studies. A representative chaos equation is given by Y(n+1) = p[1-Y(n)]Y(n). This equation has fixed and chaotic answers depending on the value of “p”. Continuous covariation is a necessary condition for the occurrence of chaotic phenomena. “Living” is a chaotic state because it follows continuous covariation with the environment. I contend that God perceived by Pascal, Nietzsche, and Nightingale can be explained by a relationship between fixed and chaotic answers. In living phenomena, time is a direction from a chaotic to fixed state and of decreasing entropy over time. Only the living function of creatures can decrease entropy. However, entropy increases over time in physical phenomena. Living creatures can recognize the time course as the opposing directions of entropy changes. In addition, they understand the direction of decreasing entropy beyond a Feigenbaum point as the power of God. Therefore, God can manifest as a process of decreasing entropy beyond a Feigenbaum point. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/171

Being Ant-worthy (by Mehran Banaei): To identify best practices and to maximize performance in our workplace environment we can learn far more from humble tiny insects than from top paid management consultants. In this perspicuous way of looking into the natural world, by possessing and inculcating within ourselves the approach of the ants, being conscious of all our capabilities and limitations, the possibilities of tremendous improvements in all human endeavors are endless. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/172

How to Achieve Enlightenment Scientifically (by Pradeep B. Deshpande): A chemical engineer’s perspective on the science of enlightenment is presented. Rational but open-minded scientists have been relentlessly pursuing evidence which would support the wisdom of our enlightened ancestors. Western scientists have done an awful lot of wonderful work in recent decades that is chipping away at the mystery surrounding the phenomenon of enlightenment. The resulting ideas and concepts cut across all boundaries of religion, race, caste, cultures and nationality. The framework is made possible by ancient Eastern wisdom and the work of Western scientists. The concepts are not only for individual transformation but also for world transformation and as a subset, national transformation. While there appears to be a theoretical limit on national or world transformation and therefore the extent to which global peace can be achieved, the framework in this paper is capable of making a real difference for humanity. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/168

A New Uncertainty Principle Containing the Level of Consciousness (by Pradeep B. Deshpande, B. D. Kulkarni): The authors present a new uncertainty principle which contains a major impact factor, the level of consciousness of the experimenter and/or the subject if any, that can lead to uncertain results. A number of experiments have been conducted to back up this uncertainty principle. The findings may lead to a new understanding of certain observed phenomena. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/167

Cosmos ex Natura: Part I (by Chris King): In this article, we are first going to look at each of the traditional views of major religions and see how well they actually address the existential dilemma in their cosmological narratives and then compare these with the difficulties and perceived limitations of the scientific description. This will then provide a more level playing field, in which the scientific description, which is already founded on the skeptical principle, as a root means of testing validity, can be compared with religious cosmological narratives based on affirmative belief, and religious narratives put to the same kind of scrutiny. Part I of this article include: 1. Introduction; 2. Holy War against Science: Natural Evolution vs Intelligent Design; 3. !Kung Gods and the Genesis of Jehovah; and 4. God acting in History. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/169
