God Beyond Religion: The Unified Field of Divine Consciousness Defined

Do you sense that you are more than your physical self? Does it seem that your consciousness is outside of you as well as within you? Are you sensitive to feelings that inform you of people and situations without actual firsthand knowledge? Do you feel that you can communicate telepathically with your pets or other people? Can you sense when someone is staring at you from your back? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you are participating in the unified field of divine consciousness. The fact is that on an unconscious level we all do. It is the realm of dreams and visions, and it is the creative source of the universe.

So, what do I mean by the unified field of divine consciousness? In order to answer that one needs to look at a narrative that developed over time, from at least 5,000 years ago in Egypt and Sumer to cognitive studies in universities across the planet today. It is being investigated by quantum physicists and theorized by psychologists and philosophers. And I believe that it should be of interest to anyone who is seeking and experiencing spiritual enlightenment.

Over the millennia it has been called by various names. It has been called the Logos, the Tao, God, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Atum. Recently it has been called the Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden in his book of the same title. It is suggested by quantum mechanics, quantum entanglement, and by the discovery of the Higgs Boson. Likewise, it is proposed by the fields of morphic resonance of Rupert Sheldrake, and the theories of Carl Jung. The ancient Greek Meta physicists called it the ether. Whatever it is called it is logically only one thing and most important of all, its existence resonates with my consciousness.

Like the wind, it is an unseen force that is only visible by its effects on material reality. It is a gnosis that lies deep within the human soul, and yet it is elusive and mysterious. It is the fact that it has been thought about, written about, spoken about by a preponderance of humanity over millennia that points to its existence. While it does not have to be acknowledged as any one of the many ideas about the creative source, it must be given consideration by the sheer ubiquity of the concept of something beyond the material that is greater than and the source of material existence.

Gregg Braden in his book “The Divine Matrix” puts it this way: “As far-fetched as this idea may sound to many people, it is precisely at the crux of some of the greatest controversies among some of the most brilliant minds in recent history. In a quote from his autobiographical notes, for example, Albert Einstein shared his belief that we’re essentially passive observers living in a universe already in place, one in which we seem to have little influence: “Out yonder there was this huge world,” he said, “which exists independently of us human beings and which stands before us like a great, eternal riddle, at least partially accessible to our inspection and thinking.”

“In contrast to Einstein’s perspective, which is still widely held by many scientists today, John Wheeler, a Princeton physicist and colleague of Einstein, offers a radically different view of our role in creation. In terms that are bold, clear, and graphic, Wheeler says, “We had this old idea, that there was a universe out there, [author’s emphasis] and here is man, the observer, safely protected from the universe by a six-inch slab of plate glass.” Referring to the late-20th-century experiments that show us how simply looking at something changes that something, Wheeler continues, “Now we learn from the quantum world that even to observe so minuscule an object as an electron we have to shatter that plate glass: we have to reach in there… . So the old word observer simply has to be crossed off the books, and we must put in the new word participator.” The Divine Matrix, Gregg Braden, Introduction, page x.

He goes on to make solid case that science, metaphysics, and religions all point toward a divine field of conscious creation, and since that resonates with me, I accept it, and I will encourage others to embrace that which resonates with them.
