Life and Spirit in the Quantum Field: Spirit Is Real, Feelings Rule and Other Adventures in Quantum Life

How do we bridge the chasm between the world of mainstream science and the world of spirit? This books shows that the chasm is an artifact of Descartes' deal with the Inquisition. By applying quantum principles to the life sciences, we see that thoughts and feelings are our connection to the world of knowing and influence across space and time. The world of spirit and intuition is just as real as the world of atomic accelerators and biochemical laboratories. Capabilities that have been disallowed by science or relegated to the realm of practitioners of alternative arts are now available to anyone wants to access the non-material world. Distance healing, intuitive knowing and divination can now be embraced by mainstream science under the new paradigm of quantum life. Doug Bennett applies the principles of quantum mechanics to life, the holographic nature of thought and feeling, to establish the divinity of humans and the humanity of god. This book will appeal to people who think about t

Doug Bennett grew up in a family with attentive, but Cartesian parents. His third generation Scottish mother and engineer father wouldn't talk about feelings if their lives depended on it. Church was for appearances. Being a first child he carefully emulated his parents: the aversion to expressing feelings stuck, but the superficial view of spirit did not. Two books were very influential to his adolescent spiritual development. One was Shaw on Religion and the other was Letters from Earth by Mark Twain. Shaw on Religion is a collection of George Bernard Shaw's writings on religion and sprit. Letters from Earth is letters purportedly written by Satan during a visit to earth reporting back to his fellow archangels about the state of creation. Both authors were eloquent in their descriptions of the inconsistencies and abuses of organized religions, but both were also deeply spiritual. They described an appealing way of relating to things beyond the material. So Doug spent his adult years being an engineer like his father (BS and MS in Chemical Engineering), avoiding church whenever possible and reading science fiction and fringe science looking for some evidence of things beyond the material world. After the death of his mother (not properly grieved) and a stressful time at headquarters of a large computer and software company he took up yoga, energy healing and music healing. He started teaching a class on how energy healing worked. That led to the world beyond the material world and ultimately to this book, which is about people being gods and the importance of feelings. Sometimes the things you run away from are the very things you should be looking at. He lives with his wife, Pat, of 39 years who lived across the street from him when they were four years old. He and Pat have two grown daughters.
