The Sphere of Science

This sphere includes all areas of science and all applications of scientific thinking and methodology. Instead of thinking of them as separate fields, innovations in biology, information science, physical and space sciences, and the psychologies of transformation are all seen as merging and cross-pollinating each other, allowing for greater insights and awareness of the interdependence of all sectors, systems, and life itself.

This section attempts to be more than an encyclopedia of science. It offers a couple of new lenses to look through and some powerful insights that liberate the quest for scientific understanding of the cosmos and our place in it.

Physical science has obviously had a profound impact on both the material and spiritual conditions of life in our world. On the one hand, it has improved the material conditions of life, while on the other hand, it has undermined the spiritual traditions that were the foundation of our religious and moral values. This has left us materially rich but spiritually bankrupt, with profound imbalances and consequences.

For example, the technology that we have developed has given us unprecedented power to change the outer world, but we often use this power with no guidance from our moral or spiritual values. While we are able to explain the subtle phenomena of the outer world through sophisticated scientific theories, we seem to know precious little about consciousness and its relationship to matter.

Although the material comforts that we enjoy today are greater than ever before in history, we are no closer to finding lasting happiness. Our knowledge and understanding of the outer world has developed to such a degree that it overshadows, ignores, and even denies knowledge of the inner realities.

There is a great need to balance our outer and inner knowledge, and for the integration of spiritual wisdom and physical science, and to do so we must relax our idea that that verification must take place within the limited domain of outer sensory experience.

Fundamental principles of a Whole Science will embrace both the outer domain of physical science and the inner domain of spiritual traditions to establish a science that is comprehensive of both inner and outer experience.

Since there has never been and never will be any experience or knowledge outside of consciousness, and since any scientific verification takes place in experience, the foundation of both inner and outer science is consciousness. Consciousness is indeed the foundation for all knowledge, personal and public.

Consciousness is prior to the distinction between inner and outer, public and private; therefore, it cannot be excluded from or be limited by any domain. It is equally present in everything and is the common ground for both the subjective (inner) and the objective (outer) world.

In this sphere, we reveal the deep relationship between physical and spiritual laws. We support the idea that our current state of the world is not the only way the world can be and the only way conscious experience can be structured. There are thousands of worlds with thousands of beings, and we see here but a thin thread of all that is possible.

In this sphere, we consider the scientifically substantiated idea that there is no way to remove the observer – us – from our perception of the world, which is created through our sensory processing and through the way we think and reason. Our perception – and hence the observations upon which our theories are based – is not direct but rather is shaped by a kind of lens: the interpretive structure of the brain.

All of Life/Existence is consciousness; the fundamental entity, which is non-physical, inactive, placid, indescribable, and non-associative, but also endowed with autonomous willpower to create, retain and annihilate all concepts of knowledge of self and the Universe.

Oneness Consciousness in the field of Science will help humanity to realize our full individual and collective potentialities instead of depending on the knowledge gained through sensory perception for the benefit of the expansion of the field of Consciousness of Knowledge. Once we can embody consciousness containing the infinite set of knowledge and are able to see ourselves in all of Life and the Creator of our Universe, we can co-create the world we really want through our conscious choices.
