"I regard consciousness as fundamental." — Max Planck
I am a lifelong seeker devoted to exploring the profound mysteries of existence through both the lens of science and the heart of spirituality. My path is not one of blind belief or rigid skepticism, but of open inquiry -- where the insights of quantum physics, cosmology, and consciousness studies meet the timeless wisdom of the mystics. Reincarnation, divine mysticism, and the evolution of consciousness across lifetimes form a core part of my worldview. I walk this journey in the company of great spiritual teachers -- Jesus Christ, Adi Shankara, Ramana Maharshi, Lalleshwari, Paramahansa Yogananda, Nisargadatta Maharaj, and Sri Aurobindo -- who guide my understanding of unity, nonduality, and the divine Self within all. I believe the future lies in the reunion of science and spirit, mind and soul, logic and love. Through my writings, reflections, and shared inspirations, I hope to be part of a growing conversation that honors both reason and revelation, both the stars above and the silence within. Welcome to this space, and thank you for being part of this unfolding journey.
but I think the article does a good job of covering both sides of the argument.
Scientific American Article "Is Consciousness Part of the Fabric of the Universe?"
I have long been interested in unifying science and spirituality. My key to making progress with this was relatively recently when my search led me:
- On the science side, to the physics of consciousness into which Nobel laureate Roger Penrose delved, controversially for the rest of the physics community and to the 3 volume series "Biocentrism" and
- On the spiritual side, to the concept that consciousness itself is fundamental to the universe; that there is no dualism or that dualism of consciousness is the "grand cosmic dance and illusion".
This eventually led me to Advaita Vedanta or the non-dualism of Shankara, which expanded my spiritual horizons beyond the Christianity of my childhood. During that same period in my life, I did a little study of Buddhism and Taoism.
Rumi and Lalleshwari are two of my favorite mystical poets.
More recently, I've discovered the writings and transcriptions of Nisargadatta.
I think we live in an age of rampant materialism, and that includes me although I have been reducing it.
Some of my additional interests include:
- Physics, astrophysics, and cosmology
- The publications and videos of Roger Penrose, nobel laureate in theoretical physics, some of whose theories are controversial.
