The emerging quantum model presents a compelling picture of the structure and operation of the universe that is startlingly different, and often at odds with the image presented by Western theology. As quantum and demonstrdiscoveries move us into the most dynamic, and inevitable, paradigm shift experienced by humanity, we cannot avoid asking if spiritual seekers will feel obliged to abandon the wisdom of Jesus? Or, is it possible that Jesus' words can be understood more completely in light of these discoveries? Can quantum physics tell us anything new about Jesus or shed light on what he was really trying to teach his followers. Can it aid us in answering the age old questions of who and what we, God and the universe actually are? Can it give us a new understanding of our purpose in life? Quantum Prodigal Son revisits Jesus' beloved 'Parable of the Prodigal Son' from the perspective of quantum physics, Gnostic gospels and the Bible. Written in a straightforward manner that requires no previous scientific or religious knowledge, Quantum Prodigal Son invites you to meet the Jesus you may have never known existed, a Jesus who understood, and applied, the principles of quantum mechanics in his life and teachings and demonstrates how you can do the same.

Fear permeates our world. Fear is a thief that robs us of the peace and happiness we all desire. Science and religion have each had the opportunity to solve the problems that keep humanity in a state of fear, but they've both failed. Why? Instead of working together for the greater good, they've been locked in a power struggle that's blinded both of them.  Although Einstein recognized that science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind, we've been left with a chaotic world where fearlessness seems impossible.    To conquer fear, we must discover its root cause. The Beginning of Fearlessness: Quantum Prodigal Son is not a self-help book. Since we live in a world where we're assaulted with new reasons to fear on a daily basis, we'll never experience fearlessness by conquering one or two fears at a time. The Beginning of Fearlessness: Quantum Prodigal Son is a spiritual quest and a scientific adventure that finally brings together the information we need to make sense of the universe and our place in it.    After years of piecing together a wide variety of spiritual and scientific information, we discovered that fear originates in our fundamental misunderstanding of the universe and our place in it. Eliminating these misunderstandings proved to be the beginning of fearlessness we all desire.  Although this sounds impossible, we found others who had discovered the beginning of fearlessness too. If they could live a life of fearlessness, you can too.     The book reveals an amazing message hidden in Jesus' parable of the prodigal son. A line-by- line discussion of the parable makes use of the gnostic gospels, quantum physics, and the words of a wide variety of spiritual sages to unlock the parable's secrets. Written in a straightforward manner, there's no need for you to have previous knowledge or interest in either science or religion to understand and benefit from the material. Join in this spiritual quest and scientific adventure and discover the beginning of fearlessness for yourself.

Religion & Spirituality

Most of us assume the words “religious” and “spiritual” mean the same thing. And why not, since the two words are often used interchangeably. But that wasn’t always the case. Does it matter whether you’re religious or spiritual? Can the way you approach the Divine affect your happiness? Discover the hidden meanings in these words and uncover a forgotten approach to Ultimate Reality.

Religious or Spiritual: How the Difference Can Affect Your Happiness

The Gospel of Thomas contains only 114 of Jesus’ sayings, but its powerful message has rocked conventional understanding of who Jesus was and what he taught. In Thomas, Jesus is not a savior, a messiah or a Christ. He does not die for anyone’s sins, and resurrection is not even mentioned. He is not considered the only-begotten Son of God, God incarnate or even a master over his followers. If he’s not portrayed in any of the roles that are customarily assigned to him, what part does he play? In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus is a human who has had his spiritual eyes opened through gnosis, a direct, personal experience of the Divine. His teachings are based on an understanding of the universe that quantum research is currently confirming. When we listen, his words can correct the misperceptions that fill our world with fear. We all have a choice to make. We can take a “quantum” approach to Jesus’ teachings or cling to an outdated interpretation of his words that cannot be reconciled with scientific research. We’ve discovered that the synergy of science and spirituality has the power to transform your life. We invite you to join us in exploring Jesus’ parables and sayings from a quantum perspective. But like Jesus, it is not our intention to give you more words to follow, but to offer a reason for you to want to experience the Divine for yourself.

You’ve probably asked yourself one of life’s most frustrating questions: “If God is love, why do we live in a world of fear and suffering?” Did you come up with a satisfying answer? Many have given up, deciding the dichotomy proves that God cannot exist. But this is a question that deserves a meaningful answer, one that must go far beyond, “just believe.” Sages who have experienced the Divine directly (gnosis) discovered the answer. As a result, they lived a life of spiritual fearlessness.  Does that sound impossible? If so, than why bother with a spiritual quest?  Why not stick with what the world has to offer?  But you were not meant to seek continually, but to find.  You were not meant to keep wondering, you were meant to understand. You were not meant to feel disconnected from the Divine, but to enjoy a direct, personal relationship. You were not meant to live in fear, but to rest in complete peace and security that can only result from experiencing truth first hand.  Jesus was not the only sage who promised, “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” Although many religious teachings have been unable to stand up to scientific scrutiny, you’ll find that the words of the fearless sages we’ll be examining are strengthened by it. This liberating information was not meant for a special few, so what keeps most of us from recognizing the simple truths that can free us from fear?  Let the words of sages and scientists hand you the keys you need to unlock the door to fearless spirituality.

Fearless Spirituality:: What Sages Knew and Science Discovered

What is gnosis? Why should you care? Since a collection of ancient manuscripts known as The Gnostic Gospels was discovered at Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945, gnosis has become a popular spiritual subject. But like many other fashionable topics, it has been manipulated, misused and misunderstood. Many mistakenly assume that gnosis is merely an unconventional interpretation of Jesus’ teachings, while others associate it with a myriad of New Age or esoteric practices. But what if gnosis is actually a time-tested key that opens the door to infinite wisdom? What if it can answer life’s deepest questions such as: Who am I? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? Is this life all there is? What is truth? Is there a God? Can I know God? Let recent discoveries in quantum science and the wisdom of spiritual masters demonstrate that not only do you deserve the answers to these questions; gnosis can make them available to you.
