In addition, the new portrait precisely pegs the age of the Universe at 13.7 billion years old, with a remarkably small one percent margin of error.
When we observe the red shift of galaxies outside our local group, every galaxy appears to be moving away from us. We are therefore led to the conclusion that our Universe is expanding. This is called Hubble expansion, after Edwin Hubble, who discovered the phenomenon in 1929.
But as the Universe expands is it, in reality, feeling an increasing innate urge to unite ?
Yes, all those Galaxies in our expanding universe are awaiting their innate call to union ~ as the millions of people on our expanded crowded planet are also awaiting our innate call to union.
Then, what is the call ?
The call, quite simply, is love or the innate universal urge to unite.
The basic underlying and UNITING force of the universe is a psychic energy force of love and soul consciousness ( Unified Field ) which lies not only beyond time and space but ALSO beneath our deepest fears.
Science will surely remain one-eyed and lacking in depth-perception until it acknowledges the equal validity of subjective, sensory and spiritual experience. And it will continue to record the letter of mere mechanics, and miss the true spirit that brings it all to life, until it comes to recognize the universal urge to unite ~ even within the molecule itself ~ as being the universal attractive force of love.
No one describes this scientific impasse more tellingly than Lincoln Barnett, author of The Universe and Dr. Einstein:
"A theoretical concept is emptied of content to the degree that it is divorced from sensory experience ~ for the only world man can truly know is the world created for him by his senses. Beyond that point he stares into the void ."
We are rapidly reaching the point in our evolution of consciousness where psychology, science and religion are all becoming aware of the growing need for a radical empiricism ~ or a deeper way of experiencing things.
Let me use the findings of the recent Nobel Prize winning researchers, Politzer, Gross and Wilczek, to prove my point. They won the 2004 Nobel prize in physics for their studies of the " strong Force " ~ the powerful and mysterious energy that holds the nuclei of atoms together.
They explained the mystifying qualities of the strong force, which holds together the fundamental building blocks of nature, called QUARKS, to form protons and neutrons ~ two of the basic components of atoms.
Now, this is when it gets really interesting.
Independently, they developed the theory and the mathematical equations to show that Quarks are held together by the strong force ~ which, unlike any other force in the universe, gets stronger as the quarks get farther apart ~ a concept now known as "Asymptotic Freedom ".
The simplest analogy is to a rubber band encircling two objects. When the objects are close together, the rubber band fits loosely. But as they are drawn apart, the rubber band stretches, trying to pull them back together.
Now, here is my take on these findings as applied to my Unified Field of Love and Soul Consciousness.
The strong force in the atom is the urge to unite which is the principle property of my Unified Field. It is the same urge to unite that Bose and Einstein found when they discovered that photons (light particles) have a tendency to travel together versus act randomly ~ which eventually led to the discovery of the laser.
It is also the same urge to unite that Teilhard de Chardin speaks of when he wrote ~ If there were no real propensity to unite , even at a prodigiously rudimentary level, indeed, in the molecule itself ~ it would be physically impossible for love to appear higher up in the ' hominized ' or human form.
It is also the same urge to unite that loved ones feel when they are separated from each other ~ and the further apart the stronger the pull to be back together.
Since I'm a twin, I can really relate to this urge to unite when I was sometimes separated from my twin in early childhood.
This would also seemingly explain how the urge to unite would increase as the Universe continues to expand.
As such, it is a force that is stronger than Gravity !
Thus, the one constant of the universe would no longer be light at 186,000 miles per second for even light particles ( photons ) are subject to asymptotic freedom or the force field of love ~ this driving urge to unite which exists not only beyond time and space but also deepest within ourselves.
And this would also explain why mankind is in the process of uniting while we seemingly are dividing and pulling away from each other.
And we are increasingly feeling this urge to unite even as galaxies are seemingly moving away from us ~ for asymptotic freedom exists in both the realm of the atom and the realm of galaxies.
I predict that when this planet makes a shift from ego consciousness to soul consciousness ~ our galaxy will also begin a shift which will, in turn, effect other galaxies and the Universe will begin to contract ~ driven by the universal urge to unite and asymptotic freedom.
And finally, on an individual level , it would explain the power of love, altruism and social cooperation and how we can no longer resist our innate pull and urge to unite versus separate.
Under this context , Jesus was an evolutionary forerunner for a state of love and soul consciousness each of us will eventually surrender to ~ which is why we have never forgotten him.
Once love is acknowledged as the binding force of the Universe than nothing can keep us from surrendering to this innate urge to unite and complete ourselves ~ both individually and universally.
In essence, the call to unite has already been made and mankind is in the process of listening and responding to it.
Then we have Mike Purton, writing in the Guardian on 12/02/04 of the greatest religious discovery of the 20th century:
"Physicists call it entanglement, and it describes the state of two or more particles once they have interacted with one another. From then on, irrespective of time and space, a correlation will always exist between them. What happens to one will affect the other - even if they are now at opposite ends of the universe ... For if matter emerged from energy in the singularity of the big bang, it would seem to follow that all the particles of which it consists are in that state of correlation. They have not become entangled, but at the fundamental level they have never been - and can never be - separated."
In summary ~ the great dawning and, I would add, inevitable realization of psychology, science and religion is that our separateness is an illusion measured by the state of our consciousness and that our ultimate reality, once again measured by the state of our consciousness, is the realization that we are all united and part of a loving and indivisible whole ~ and we resist it at our peril.
As such, those who we love deeply become part of us forever. Starting with my twin and beloved grandfather ~ every person I have deeply loved still lives in my heart . A thread of love that exists not only beyond time and space but also beyond lifetimes.
Or, as Longfellow so eloquently writes, "The thread of all sustaining beauty that runs through all and doth all unite."
ONLY LOVE UNITES AND HEALS
