There is Nothing but God.

In Judaism there is the phrase:

❤️ (אין עוד מלבדו) = Ein od milvado

This hebrew phrase comes to us from Judaism and translates to: there is nothing but God. In Chabad philosophy (orthodox Judaism) the phrase means that not only is there no other God besides Him, there is nothing besides Him—literally. Only God exists. This is a statement on the nature of the cosmos as much as it is a theological belief.

We see this belief permeate many of the world’s religions. The Vedas - ancient religious texts from India - teaches us that God is everywhere in creation. The Vedas describe God as: yato va imani bhutani jayante, yena jatani jivanti, yatprayantyabhisamvisanti. This sanskrit phrase translates to:

❤️ “God is He, Who has created this world; God is He, within Whom the entire world exists; God is he, within Whom the whole world will merge at the time of annihilation” Taittiriya Upanisad, 3.1

The Vedic hymns confirm the fact that He - God the Creator - is the origin of all living entities and the rest of all that is. After creation, everything rests in His omnipotence, and after annihilation, everything again returns to rest in Him. These are the confirmations of Vedic hymns.

Religions, mystics and philosophers' have consistency pointed humanity in the direction of a Creator being who connects and transcends the entire universe. And today, we now have a large body of scientific evidence to prove what these mystics and religions have long sought to teach us about our place in the cosmos.

The Death of Naturalism

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free

John 8:32

Naturalism, the idea that there are no gods, spirits, or transcendent meanings, is the leading theory of our time.

And it's wrong.

Naturalism is a lie.

Naturalism is a false truth.

When it comes to science, ours is a paradoxical era. On the one hand, prominent physicists proclaim that they are solving the riddle of reality and hence finally displacing religious myths of creation. On the other hand, science's limits have never been more glaringly apparent.

Many of us have been taught a classical materialist version of physics. Materialism holds the high ground these days in debates over that most ultimate of scientific questions: the nature of consciousness.

When tackling the problem of mind and brain, many prominent researchers advocate for a universe fully reducible to matter. ‘Of course you are nothing but the activity of your neurons,’ they proclaim.

That position seems reasonable and sober in light of neuroscience’s advances, however; however, as decades of quantum physics research shows the closer you look, the more the materialist position in physics appears to rest on shaky metaphysical ground.

The era of scientific materialism is incompatible with what physicists at the forefront of the field know today in 2020. There are aspects of quantum physics that show us the divine nature of reality and the interconnectedness of all that is. The easiest way to crack open that box is to talk about consciousness or God as energy.

What we perceive as our physical material world, is really not physical or material at all, in fact, it is far from it. This has been proven time and time again by multiple Nobel Prize winning physicists (among many other scientists around the world). One of them being Niels Bohr, a Danish Physicist who made significant contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory.

For a long time after the discovery of molecules and atoms in the seventeenth century, scientists assumed that molecules and atoms consisted of solid particles. But according to quantum physics, developed in the early twentieth century, there are no “particles” per se: Energy is the basis of material reality. Every type of particle is conceived of as a quantum vibration in a field: Electrons are vibrations in electron fields, protons vibrate in a proton field, and so on. Everything is energy, and everything is connected to everything else through fields. At its most elementary level, matter does not show up as isolated little particles; all matter is essentially one and indivisible, a connected, dynamic tissue of vibrating fields of energy.

As physicists explored the relationship between energy and the structure of matter - the belief that a physical, Newtonian material universe that was at the very heart of scientific knowing was dropped, and the realization that matter is nothing but an illusion replaced it. Scientists began to recognize that everything in the Universe is made out of energy.

Therefore, if we really want to observe ourselves and find out what we are, we are really beings of energy and vibration, radiating our own unique energy signature -this is fact and is what quantum physics has shown us time and time again. We are much more than what we perceive ourselves to be, and it’s time we begin to see ourselves in that light.
