A sudden change in perception.

A sudden change in point of view.

A sudden change in how you see things.

Nothing is separate. The entire universe, including you and I, are in reality pure energy. It is through our thoughts that we transform this energy into what we percieve to be reality. Our thoughts create the world we live in.

We have always thought the outer world is more real than the inner world. But the opposite is true. It is what is happening inside us that determines what is going to happen outside us. We create our world with our thoughts.

So is it true? A lot of quantum physics evidence not to mention just reflecting back on the unfolding of ones life seems to say it is. So if it is true what does that mean for the future of Christianity? Are the two compatible? If you take Christianity at its most basic fundamental level then the answer has to be- No. No, they are not compatible.

Quantum physics in no way denies the existance of God but requires a different interpretation. Christianity proposes the separation of God and man. What we are learing from quantum physics is man and God are not separate but one, everything is one.

So should "believers" in the theories of quantum physics follow the pattern of Christians and set out on a full scale campaign to convert the world to their view? Again I believe the answer is- No.

Christianity is pointing in the right direction. It does contain many truths. You could consider it a river leading to a vast ocean. Christians are in the river, making their way to God the ocean, but do not realize they can go directly to the ocean anytime they want.

We also can't deny a lot of good has been done in the name of Christianity. And let's not forget the comfort it can bring. My father who was diagnosed with cancer has found much comfort in his Christian faith. I would never want to deny him of that peace of mind.

I was in fact a Christian for over half of my life. Then after hearing many of the discoveries of quantum physics and what they may mean to our lives I decided to sit down and do what very few Christians have. I decided to evaluate all the information I had on both sides and see which was more convincing to me. To open my mind and see if I just may have been wrong all those years. Here was my thought process.

First I always had an uneasy feeling in the back of my mind. Especially when it came to other religions. Most Americans and Europeans professed Christianity, Middle Eastern countries professed Islam, and eastern countries professed Hinduism, Buddhism, etc...

Different religions and yet everyone is so sure (as was I) that their religion is the correct one, the true one. And what was the detemining factor for which religon you believed to be true? Where you were born.

So I had to ask myself, was my faith inflenced by my upbringing? By my location and the customs of where I was born. I couldn't deny that was probably true. Not to mention I also learned about memes (a cultural equivalent of a gene, in which ideas are passed from one generation to another, but that's another story).

The clincher for me actually came from the Bible itself. Bible verses such as Isaiah 13:16 in which God commands children and women to be brutally killed. The more I tought about it the more it weighed on my mind. God commanded some things that I found revolting. Some things that were disgusting and sick.

The die hard Christian would argue, "Who are you to judge God, your creator?" But then I realized I wasn't judging just stating facts.

Fact one: In the Bible God commanded innocent women and children to be brutally killed.

Fact two: I find the killing of women and children repulsive.

Again here I am not judging, just stating facts - what God commaded and how I felt about it. And that enevitably leads to a third fact.

Fact three: I find some things that God has commanded repulsive.

Unless you don't find the slaughtering of babies and women repulsive you have to come to the same conclusion. Again we are not judging but just stating facts.

The more I thought about it the more it just weighed heavier and heavier on my mind. I was serving a God who commanded things I found repulsive. How could I serve a God who did such things? Add that to the fact that my upbringing may actually have influenced my faith. Things were really starting to get shaky.

Then I read more and more about quantum physics and I read books on spirituality quite different from Christianity. Everything just seemed to fall in place. It was like the things I read I instinctively already knew. There were no more unexplainable contradictions that I could really "never understand until the next life." Everything here and now made sense. There was also a freedom I had not experienced as a Christian. There was no longer the watching eye that judged every move I made. There was no longer the omnipotent judge that was eventually going to make the determination of whether I spent eternity in paradise or burned in hell.

And there you have the first significant paradigm shift in my life and to be honest it felt GOOD!
