HUMANITY HAS REACHED A DANGEROUS TIPPING POINT of potential self-destruction because our technical and scientific achievements have out distanced our spiritual realization. We must develop a new understanding of who we are, centered on the realization of oneness with all of creation. This realization can only be achieved by the combination and integration of rational logical thinking and mystical internal awareness. Humanity has now reached the point where the two separate understandings of reality must be combined into a holistic understanding of existence. Peace Is Oneness addresses the dangers of accepting the separation that results from our egos, along with the ways that separation can be healed. Both science and evolutionary religion define the same reality. We must awaken from our dream state of separate selves and realize the oneness that is our true self of unconditional love. Western culture has largely lost most of its connection to myth because of the dominance of material science. We have what the ancient Greeks called logos, but we have lost what they called mythos. This is about to change, as science and religion begin to define reality in the same way. Will it happen quickly enough to save us from our own self destruction? Your individual consciousness is essential in determining the outcome.

Chapter One

Attaining Peace

What is within us is also without. What is without is also within. He who sees differences between what is within and what is without goes evermore from death to death. -Upanishad Katha

The Need for Oneness and Peace

The world is constantly seeking peace in the external world as a means of ending conflict. There seems to be little recognition that peace will only come when the external and the internal are in a state of harmony. Religion is perceived as the gateway to the world within, while science is focused on the world without. The ability to harmonize these two great domains has largely escaped humanity's understanding, with few exceptions. Until the oneness of creation is fully realized, humanity's struggle will continue.

Perhaps now humanity is ready to learn the essential lesson of oneness. For thousands of years humans have known of this oneness and have taught the concept, as witness the quote from the Katha Upanishad. Based on the historical record, however, few have learned or understood the concept. Perhaps intellectual understanding alone is inadequate.

One must know oneness by experience. If oneness is not experienced, each individual continues to believe in a separate existence apart from others. Separate physical bodies are a compelling reality supporting the belief in separation. Unrealized is the reality of our connectedness with all of creation. Sensory perception of our physical environment also confirms separation. An equally compelling internal awareness of oneness appears to be required if we are to understand our oneness.

Many paths lead up the mountain of spiritual enlightenment, ending in the realization of the Self or our universal oneness and state of unconditional love. Some of these include the paths of Buddhism, the shaman, depth psychology, Christian mysticism and Gnosticism, Kaballah, Sufism, and many others. Each of these paths has many different techniques for Self-discovery. These methods include such practices as meditation, chanting, movement and dancing, mandalas, sensory isolation or deprivation, breath work, mantras, rituals, and many others, all intended to transform consciousness. Each individual must find his or her path and the method that each feels is best suited. For guidance in selecting a teacher for the journey see "A Search for the Source," pages 98-99.

Some have spontaneous experiences of transcendence, the seeming dissolution of self in, for example, the awe of nature, lovemaking, or listening to music. These states are usually transitory but often unforgotten if the experience is powerful enough. The fully enlightened are able to remain in this state of awareness indefinitely and realize that everything in creation is already perfect.

Environmental biology is providing compelling evidence of our interdependence. Coral reefs all over the world are being degraded by pollution and changes in water temperature. Ground fish on the Grand Banks have been seriously degraded by overfishing. Rivers and streams have been polluted by industrial contaminants. Rainfall patterns have been altered by global warming effecting a reduction in agricultural production in some parts of the world causing famine.

Evidence of Oneness

Modern physics is moving us away from Newtonian concepts of separate objects interacting in cause-and-effect relationships in serial time to a dynamic field concept, resulting in potential outcome probabilities outside the limits of serial time. Astronomy is expanding our concepts of the universe almost beyond our comprehension, introducing the need to recognize the limitations of rational knowledge and a corresponding humility.

In an expanded scientific empiricism, evidence for mind-matter interactions is being documented. The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program, for example, has consistently demonstrated a small but consistent effect of mind on matter. Subjects concentrating on specific outcomes have demonstrated their ability to alter the chance results of random generators in the direction of their attempted outcome. This research was conducted over a twelve-year period, with thousands of trials, producing consistent results beyond chance expectations. This mind effect on matter has been labeled psychokinesis and has been studied in its many forms by psychical researchers for over one hundred years. It would appear that mind can affect matter, although the effect is small. Mind appears to be a player in the dynamics of the quantum field.

The earliest laboratory experiments in parapsychology conducted by J. B. Rhine at Duke University in the 1930s involving card calling, demonstrated that subjects were able to call the order of the cards, above chance expectations, at a distance without the use of sensory means of perception. This established laboratory evidence not only for clairvoyance, (the ability to know the order of the cards without seeing them) but also for telepathy (the ability to know what another mind is thinking). Both these phenomena have been observed for a long time by psychical researchers in case studies. This suggests that distance is not a limit on the way mind can function, nor is the mind dependent solely on the sensory organs of sight, hearing, smell, and touch.

These findings from early laboratory studies have been confirmed multiple times. Raising the probability scores over chance to very high levels. These phenomena are real. Scientific skeptics cling to their material monist position that denies such phenomena despite the conclusive evidence to the contrary, just as the flat-earth people clung to their beliefs long after the evidence proved them wrong.

The significance of these laboratory studies is that they brought psychic capabilities of the mind into the laboratory, legitimating them as scientific investigations. Using the methods of science to prove the existence of...
