We live in very exciting times, possibly the most exciting since the Renaissance! Almost every day that goes by, someone discovers a new phenomenon that forces us to rethink our view of reality.
I ran into this article today that made me review the way I look at the world yet again. Everyone who has a questing mind must read it!
To make a long story short, subatomic particles can communicate with each other over vast distances. So what? you may ask. Well, based on this single fact alone, man as an entity becomes simultaneously much more insignificant and much more significant than ever before.
The insignificance of man stems from his inability to perceive directly the wonderful tapestry of possibilities our universe is. In such a context, nothing that we have considered important really matters - not money, not our job, not politics and certainly not our perceived physical environment.
Still at the same time, man becomes extremely significant. The findings suggest that each and every one of us may be co-creators of the universe we live in, in a dynamic and constantly changing way. Our thoughts and our dreams may be influencing directly both the physical reality we dwell in, as well as the broader cosmic reality that exists beyond our perception.
This gives meaning to the Christian belief that "the one is more significant than the many", a credo that is very much a part of the mystery of the Confession.
We are standing on the doorstep, facing a half-ajar door that leads to tremendous revelations. Some will want to turn their back on the door, afraid of what lies beyond. Others, the more daring, will take that tentative stgep forward, and from that point on our world will never be the same.
