Love is the force of attraction and harmony.  There are different levels of love as there are different levels of consciousness in cosmic reality, from the attraction and harmony of subatomic particles all the way up to the unconditional LOVE that creates the universe and holds it together.  The human experience of love tends to cover only a relatively narrow range, from the purely physical attraction to the more spiritual version of a mother's love or the ecstatic embrace of a couple in love.  Yet, some individuals experience even the highest form of love, the unconditional Love that drives universe.

How is this possible?  It is possible because this highest LOVE dwells deeply within everything there is, including yourself.  In fact, LOVE is the very base on which everything exists, even though our experience may be very unpleasant and just the opposite of what we expect from the force of attraction and harmony.  These "bad" experiences serve a good purpose.  They cause us to find answers to questions such as Hiebreed asked, "why do we love?  What is the purpose of it?"  This starts the quest for understanding life, for opening up to the Grand Design of the universe.  Without our "bad" experiences, we would be satisfied with our status quo and would not grow.  We would never experience our full inner potential that is ultimately identical with the all-embracing divine unconditional LOVE.  

Unconditional love does not create heartache.  So ask yourself, what conditions have I tied to my love?  Do I expect my loved one to act differently?  (This is a condition).  Or do I not want him/her to leave me? (This is also a condition, a restriction of the other's freedom.)  It is the conflict between what we expect from the other and what the other is willing to give that creates the heartache.  Unconditional love does not expect anything in return.

But is it fair to give all your love without getting something in return?  This is the beauty about unconditional love, it carries its own reward.  As you give your love freely, it fills you up with more love and creates your experiences of love.  As you identify with unconditional Love, you align with the highest power in the universe.  As you learn to eliminate your opinions and beliefs that contradict unconditional love, you experience more and more your being one with this highest power.  Isn't this what we have been told already 2000 years ago?

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy (the disorder) of an isolated system can only increase.  According to Quantum-Metaphysics, the physical universe is not an isolated system but a limited aspect of an unlimited multi-dimensional reality.  Therefore, the second law of thermodynamics does not apply to the physical universe and we don't need to worry about being overtaken by entropy.  

Quantum-Metaphysics and many channeled messengers tell us also that we create our own reality through the nature of our mindset.  We'll experience chaos if our mindset is chaotic.  Therefore, the trick is to focus our minds on harmony, on peace and unconditional love.  It is Christ's message in a nutshell.

Hello zaicer,

Many explanations of cosmic reality are possible, depending on one's point of view, and your description is a good one for you and others who have a similar mindset.  I would only like to expand on your last paragraph because it could lead to misunderstanding.

Whenever we make a statement about reality, we must define our point of view because reality appears differently from different viewpoints.  When you say, zaicer,  that "INDIVIDUALITY is NOT an illusion", you speak from the viewpoint of an individual.  For us individuals, the entire cosmos is a collection of "individual' items, such as people, stars, atoms, and mosquitoes.  However, the 'master-hologram' has no divisions and therefore no individuals at its level of existence.  Therefore, a person who is Awakened to ultimate reality will say that individuality is an illusion.  Both statements are correct from their different points of view.

Hello Adkha,

The 'holographic universe' is not an established scientific theory but an attempt to coordinate modern scientific results into some unified thought system.   Please read my second post on the 1st page (21 June 03) and my last post, 1st page (06 Aug. 03).  In the holographic paradigm the connection with the spiritual is only implied without an actual explanation.  For a direct connection between modern science and spiritual reality, please check out the following website.

You are on the right track, greatoutdoors.  Talking about "the universe being kept in balance by addition or subtraction of Dark Energy or Matter", please realize that such scientific discussions assume that there is only one physical universe.  In reality, our physical universe is only a rather limited aspect of an unbelievably vast reality that is way beyond human perception.  Your analogy of an ant trying to understand the entire system is quite appropriate.
 
Based on my experience of higher reality, the ultimate Whole of Everything is an undivided, undifferentiated Entity that includes everything as un-manifested ideas, as it were.  This "All-Entity" *) is the essence of everything: energy, consciousness, life, you name it.  It has no divisions and therefore It is in total harmony.  And since it embraces absolutely everything, it accepts everything and thus is identical with unconditional Love.
 
Now, when someone suggests that "the universe is kept in balance by the periodic addition or subtraction of Dark Energy or Matter", he is simply not talking about the entire comic whole (All-Entity) but only a part of it, our limited physical universe.  There is, of course, a continuous exchange between all parts of the Whole because All-Entity, being the essence of life, is dynamic and in a constant state of flux.
 
Since our limited 'ego'-minds are only minute parts of the overall cosmic consciousness of All-Entity, we perceive only bits and pieces of the total reality.  From our view, these bits and pieces are organized into categories.  For instance your body and mind are parts of you, you are a part of humanity, humanity is a part of living beings who are parts of the Earth, which is part of the solar system, which is part of our galaxy, and so on all the way up to being part of All-Entity.  Clearly, everything appears organized in a hierarchy of wholes and parts with different organizational levels where the wholes embrace ever-larger aspects of reality.  We say that the wholes encompass more 'dimensions' than each of its parts.  A 'dimension' simply means an extension in some direction, whereby the nature of the direction can be anything, such as space, time, ideas, feelings, love, anything we can think of.  Rather than talking about dimensions, we could also say that the wholes have more characteristic aspects than their parts, for instance, the category of living beings has more aspects than humans, such as wings.

Given this scenario, every time we discover a hereto-unknown characteristic of the world around us, we become aware of a 'new dimension' of reality.  Our consciousness is then a little less limited.  So when you say, "could 'communication with the dead' be actually some sort of cross-dimensional contact with an alternate someone who is not dead in their dimension??", you are talking about a hereto unknown characteristic of the world around us, you become aware of a 'new dimension' of reality.  Yes, we are communicating across dimensions when we contact people in the afterlife, but please understand that this is extraordinary for us only because our normal consciousness doesn't allow this.  In reality we are not separated from the afterworld.

Within our known environment we make no big deal about crossing dimensional lines.  During a walk, we change directions without ever thinking about crossing over from the "forward dimension" to the "sidewise dimension".  It wasn't so long ago that we could not communicate over long distances in real time.  Now, through the 'new dimension' of telecommunication, we take it for granted because in today's reality we are not separated communication-wise.

Keep on talking, greatoutdoors, you are on the right track [:)].

Your post is "overflowing" with content [:)] and I'm not sure whether I am following your train of thought. Therefore I'd like to address just the first portion for now.

"Going the other way" form 10 or 11 dimensions implies assuming fewer than three dimensions, perhaps no dimensions at all.  According to Quantum Metaphysics, the Ultimate Reality, that is the integral Whole of Everything (All-Entity), is dimensionless because all is unified into One at that highest level.  Everything is included in a homogenous, undifferentiated Entity.  It's a singularity if you will.  The concept of dimensions makes only sense from a lower point of view, where the Whole appears differentiated because the lower consciousness is only a part of the Whole and therefore cannot encompass the whole unit all at once.
Looking up towards the top of the multi-dimensional hierarchy from our physical world, reality appears to have more and more dimensions simply because we become aware of other regions of the Whole beyond our present limited consciousness.

Do we live in a finite universe?  It may appear so if we stick to our 3 space dimensions that we perceive.  However quantum physicists now generally accept that an infinite number of "parallel" universes exist.  This corresponds to Quantum Metaphysics.  My opinion is that ultimately it makes no sense to ask whether our universe is limited or not because space and time, as we experience them, do not exist in ultimate reality.

Greetings!

I believe that jc84cornette referred to QM as Quantum Metaphysics, not Quantum Mechanics.   Quantum Metaphysics provides a logical description of higher reality based on Quantum Mechanic insights.  Quantum Metaphysics leads naturally to common-sense explanations of paranormal effects and to the key tenets of world religions, including Christianity.  For more information check out the website below.

Hello Adkha,

According to Quantum Metaphysics (QM), the physical world is a limited aspect of total reality that has untold dimensions.  In other words, in our physical world we perceive only four dimensions (3 space + 1 time) of the true multi-dimensional reality, which we consider "spiritual".  In physics terminology, we use the term "dimension" in a well-defined manner, one physical specific aspect  = one dimension.  I doubt that we can carry this approach into the higher-dimensional spheres.  Assuming that "Everything" is ultimately united into One (corresponding to QM) then such concepts as love, joy, freedom, honesty, etc. must have a place within this whole.  Or how would we categorize the ever new "dimensions" of artistic expression?  It is a question of semantics.  

We can get around this ambiguity by adopting a more general definition of "dimension".  We can say that a dimension is one specific aspect of a larger whole.  This is how the term is used in QM.  It works for the dimensions of physics as well for any other "dimension" in life.  In this sense, The Astral plane is definitely a higher dimension of reality.  Whether it will ever be expressed in physics terms is another question.  I personally doubt that there will ever be a Unified Theory of Everything in physics terms, because it would mean that it is possible to cast "God" into a mathematical equation.
Does this answer your question?

Zaphnat-Panea,

I am not saying that physical reality does not exist, of course.  I am saying that physical reality is but an aspect of total reality, and a small one at that.  We do not perceive the greater reality.  If you could, Zaphnat-Panea, you would realize that it is impossible for 'people to restrain you from the basic interaction that we have with the world which is LIFE'.  This is so because your "real" Self is an expression of LIFE.  You can never be separated from LIFE because you are an integral part of IT, regardless what happens to your body.  As long as you believe that you are your body, you will feel that people can restrain you from life.  That is the illusion.  

Yes, our experiences in the physical world affect us, and the bad experiences motivate us to understand how the world works.  The most "realistic" approach to deal with the world is to "realize" that it is part of a larger, for us invisible reality, where all is One.  Then it is the smart thing to do, the "realistic" thing, to act accordingly, that is to act in the interest of the Whole.  We call this greater reality "spiritual", and yes, 'the way we live in it and the way we interact with it' makes us realize eventually that we are spirits in physical clothing.

Best wishes!

Hello Zaphnat-Panea,

The Holistic Logic of Quantum Metaphysics (QM) explains the results of Relativity Theory and Quantum Physics in a new manner that makes "common sense", whereas our old way of thinking does not jibe with modern physics.  In addition, QM unites results of modern physics with age-old concepts of total reality.  In science, an explanation that simplifies and unites existing knowledge is considered progress.  I could say that the experimental results of modern physics provide "proof" of my theory.  However, I'm sure you know that the general adoption of a radically new view usually takes decades.  Max Planck, Nobel Prize winner in physics, said: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."  This was well demonstrated by the persecution of Galileo when he claimed that the Earth orbits the Sun.  Or take the experience of the Dutch physicist Christian Huygens in the 1600's.  He demonstrated experimentally that light travels in waves.  However the scientific community rejected his opinion for an entire century.  I am not saying that I compare with these luminaries, but I am convinced that Holistic Logic has far-reaching implications.

A detailed explanation of how Holistic Logic explains results of modern physics is beyond the scope of a forum message.  The best coverage is contained in my book "Understanding the Grand Design."  Chapter 4, The Nature of Space and Time, provides a point-by-point comparison of Holistic Logic with Relativity Theory.  My book's Appendix, Scientific Subjects, covers the following additional relevant topics:

I.   Energy - Mass
II.   Quantum Physics
III.   Double Slit Experiment
IV.   Heisenberg Uncertainty Theorem
V.   Holography

I understand where you are coming from, Zaphnat-Panea; you believe that physical reality is the foundation of everything, including thought.  QM postulates the exact opposite: matter is a result of thought.  QM also concludes that you experience whatever you believe.  In other words, with your belief in the supremacy of physical reality, you will experience physical reality as supreme.  I can tell you from my own experience that a grander reality than our physical world exists, but I don't expect you to accept this.  Libraries of books have been written about this subject, and I won't attempt to convince you in a forum post that is already too long [:)].

My best wishes to you, Zaphnat-Panea.

To expand my previous post, Einstein's relativity theory as well as quantum theory were not, and could not have been discovered simply by writing Newton's equations in more than 4 dimensions.  It took a revolutionary shift to an entirely new way of thinking, triggered by close attention to previously ignored details.  I believe that science is now facing another major revolution.  This one is the realization that the foundation of everything is not physical but spiritual, or, in more scientific terms, 'multi-dimensional'.  In other words, mind did not evolve from matter, but matter evolved from mind. This is, of course, scientific heresy, because the belief that matter is the essence of all reality is the presumed foundation of physical sciences.

If you ask a carpenter to build a house, he will build one of wood. If you ask a mason to build a house, it will be of bricks, and if you ask a physicist to create a model of the universe, it will be a physical one (quote from my book).

You guys who think that you can take a chemical shortcut to Enlightenment better read Jane Roberts' The Nature of Personal Reality, specifically Chapter 10, The Nature of Spontaneous Illumination, and the Nature of Enforced Illumination.  The Soul in Chemical Clothes. Jane Roberts channeled the book from an advanced entity who calls himself Seth.

Hello Zaphnat-Panea,

It will probably take many pages to answer your 29 October post adequately.  Let me address only your second paragraph at this time.  You wrote:

"If the "reality" of the world would be as simple as JW explains it with higher dimensions, then it would be enough to write the equations for these "fundamental" laws of Physics in more than 4 dimensions and obtained from there these "fundamental" laws of physics. But this is not the case. Nobody so far can claim to have solved and found the Grand Unified Theory."

Would you not first have to understand the higher-dimensional "fundamental" laws before you could write their equations?  They are not necessarily straight extrapolations or conversions of our known laws, as we have experienced repeatedly in fundamental research.  Quantum Metaphysics (QM) tells us that for a Grand Unified Theory you would have to include ever greater fields of reality to cover the "hidden variables" of higher dimensions.  Ultimately, you would have to formulate an equation that fully describes All-Entity, the QM-equivalent for God.

Thank you for your posts, John.  I have read Alan Wolf's The Spiritual Universe and I admire his expertise in quantum physics.  I also appreciate his drive towards defining the commonality with the spiritual.  Yet, somehow I am missing the last step towards a unified system.  Anyhow, I which that I had his scientific knowledge.

Greetings!

The concept of what I call Quantum Metaphysics, and particularly its Holistic Logic, is based on a spontaneous experience of higher reality that I had as a young man.  I described this experience in the Introduction to my book, Understanding the Grand Design, which can be viewed via my website www.quantum-metaphysics.com (click: My Book/Book Cover>Sample Excerpt).  The experience was so powerful and enlightening that to this day I do not doubt its validity.  Describing its far-reaching ramifications is difficult, but I am quite sure that the basic ideas expressed in my website and more developed in my book are valid.  I have received this assurance from numerous books and channeled messages that agree with my understanding of higher reality.  In fact, Adrian invited me to this forum because he was so impressed by the similarity between my writings and ancient spiritual scriptures that Adrian has studied.

I researched the subject carefully, as the numerous footnotes to my paper, Revolution in Common Sense, indicate (see my website).  I am experienced in performing systematic research, which was part of my management career in research and development of electronic systems in a major American corporation.  My formal education corresponds to a Bachelor of Science degree plus additional courses towards a Masters degree, which were interrupted by the tumultuous political and economic conditions in beleaguered post-war Berlin.

My writings are of a philosophical nature and not possible to express mathematically.  The best I could do was to formulate a logically cohesive description of the intricate relationship between wholes and their constituent parts. This subject has been debated throughout known history. Since the entire universe is organized in wholes and parts, this "Holistic Logic" appears to apply to everything there is.  It works well for practical examples from our visible environment and it leads to conclusions about the invisible (spiritual) reality in good agreement with ancient wisdom as, for instance, expressed in Ken Wilber's perennial philosophy.

The specific application of Holistic Logic to quantum physics must be taken as a suggestion.  I do not have the expertise to formulate the appropriate mathematics, however I am quite sure that the wave and particle natures of the quantum are two different aspects of the same "thing" and, as best as I can determine, Holistic Logic applies to them as well, regardless how many dimensions are involved.  I may have quoted four dimensions in an attempt to simplify the explanation of the principle, however I tried to stay away from being specific on this point because I don't know how many dimensions are involved.  There is more to say about using the concept of dimensions to explain invisible reality and I plan to address this subject in another post.

I would like to add that I appreciate very much Zaphnat-Panea's comments on this subject.  They are sincere and worth debating.  I know that I have seen the truth, and I will do my best to communicate it accurately regardless of the difficulties involved.

Best regards,
Jo.

Hello Tony,

Here is an excerpt from John Gribbin's  book, "Schroedinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality":

The standard interpretation of what is going on in the quantum world is known as the Copenhagen Interpretation, because it was largely developed by the Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who worked in Copenhagen. Other people, notably including the Germans Werner Heisenberg and Max Born, made major contributions to the package of ideas that became the Copenhagen Interpretation, but Bohr was always its most evangelical proponent. The package was essentially complete by 1930, less than a human lifetime ago. Since then, it has been the basis of virtually all practical work involving the quantum world, and it is the story taught to aspiring physicists in university and college. But it rests upon some quite bizarre concepts.
  The key concept is the so-called 'collapse of the wave function'. In seeking to explain how an entity such as a photon or an electron could 'travel as a wave but arrive as a particle', Bohr and his colleagues said that it was the act of observing the wave that made it 'collapse' to become a particle. We can see this at work in the electron version of the experiment with two holes - the electron passes through the experiment as a wave, then 'collapses' into a single point on the detector screen.


Our forum discussion about trees falling and making sound only if someone listens was not just philosophical brainstorming.  Quantum physicists do say just that, even though some of them feel uncomfortable with it.  Yet, from a Quantum Metaphysic viewpoint it makes good sense.

Interesting post, PyroPsion69 [8D].  
Let me try to explain how telekinesis works according to Quantum Metaphysics.  Our physical world with its three space dimensions is only a small subset of the "real" reality that has untold more dimensions.  We don't see this "total reality" because our senses are limited to 3-D and our consciousness has forgotten the other dimensions.  In the total multi-dimensional invisible reality, everything imaginable and even unimaginable exists already in a spaceless (nonlocal) and timeless environment.  Everything is there already potentially, in limbo, as it were, not yet materialized.  

How is our physical environment materialized from this unlimited store of possibilities?  Our conscious attention does the trick.  This is the breakthrough of quantum physics; scientists realize that the electron and other subatomic particles exist in our 3-D reality only when we "look" at them.  And since every material object is made of subatomic particles, everything you see exists in three dimensions only when you look at it with your 3-D consciousness (as the Irish philosopher George Berkeley postulate already some 250 years ago).  I am not saying that the objects don't exist before you look at them; they do already exist in multi-dimensional reality, but it takes someone's three-dimensional consciousness to "realize" them (make them real) in 3-D space.

This may sound preposterous, but it is entirely logical when one understands the nature of our consciousness.  For this we must throw overboard some very old and engrained misconceptions about our reality.  The "true" reality is not physical but has unlimited dimensions whereas the physical reality is only a very limited aspect of the true reality.  

In my book, I used the metaphor of someone taking pictures of a tree.  Assume for a moment that the three-dimensional tree is the "true" multi-dimensional reality, and then the photo is only a 2-D aspect of the tree, similar to its shadow.  Some hypothetical individual whose consciousness is limited to only two dimensions would see the photo as the "real" thing but could not imagine the actual tree in three dimensions (equivalent to how we see only three dimensions from a 4-dimensional environment).  Now, suppose you take another photo of the same tree from a slightly different angle and show the picture to the person with a 2-D consciousness.  He would think that you have mysteriously moved the branches of the tree.  For him you would have performed an act of telekinesis.  

Yes, there is a threshold as you postulate, PyroPsion69.  The threshold is the limitation of our consciousness to perceive only three dimensions of the actual multi-dimensional reality.  When you overcome this limitation and "Awaken" to true reality, you can move cars around and perform other paranormal feats.  Then you are enlightened and you probably have other priorities than impressing others with cheap tricks like that [:)].

Hello Beth, I posted the following under Quantum Metaphysics.  Perhaps the message is also of interest in the Religion Forum.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hello Beth, welcome!

It is always nice to communicate with a kindred spirit [:)]. I read a few of your recent posts in the Religion Forum and I wonder whether you ever considered a "shortcut" to the early Christianity teachings. During an online discussion of Quantum Metaphysics a few years ago, someone mentioned Carpenter's book, "Dialogue on Awakening: Communication with Jesus." As with all channeled messages, you have to make up your own mind about the authenticity of the source. For me, the book's contents match perfectly my own spiritual experience and understanding, and they are an enlightened extension of Quantum Metaphysics. It is fascinating how far off contemporary church doctrines are from what I consider Christ's message.

Concerning your Flatlands note, I referenced Edwin Abbott Abbott's early 20th century book "Flatland" in my writings for an explanation of multi-dimensional reality. Using such analogies, it is possible to postulate logic relationships between dimensional levels, which provide explanations of quantum events and ultimately lead to the basic tenets of all world religions.

I am looking forward to compare more notes with you [:)].

Greetings!

Jo.

Good talking to you, Leon [:D].

#121
You must have misunderstood, Leon.  I see no reason why a 2-D plane could not extend across the entire universe.  I did say that a hypothetical creature whose life is totally restricted to a 2-D environment cannot imagine a 3-D environment.  By the same token, we 3-D human creatures know life only in 3-D space and cannot imagine a 4-D environment.  This whole scenario has already been used by other authors to discuss the concept of multi-dimensionality, as Beth mentioned in a preceding post.
If you would like to debate this subject further, Leon, it would be very helpful if you could read the appropriate paragraph in my website (see article "Revolution in Common Sense").  It would put our conversation on a common denominator.

Concerning your second statememt in your recent post, Leon, an infinite number of planes are of course part of something much greater (as is everything else in this world [:)])

Jo.
#122
Hi Leon,

I am trying to understand your train of thought, it feels like we are not talking about the same concept.  Perhaps my following comments will help.  

Planes are 2-D, they not only could be 2-D.  Two dimensions means two degrees of freedom to proceed.  Even a warped plane has only two dimensions, because within the plane you can proceed only in two independent directions.

Why would the size of our universe be impossible?  Perhaps you are using the word 'plane' for what I call 'dimensional level'.  In the terminology that I was using, a plane = 2-D is on the two-dimensional level.  Our 3-D space is on the three-dimensional level.  Einstein's spacetime is on the four-dimensional level and I believe that even higher multi-dimensional levels exist.  

There are an infinite number of 2-D planes within 3-D space.   A hypothetical 2-D creature experiences only its particular 2-D world, even though this 2-D world exists in a 3-D environment from our point of view.  Similarly, we experience only three space dimensions out of a potentially higher dimensional environment that we do not perceive directly.

Would you mind elaborating your comments, Leon, so that I catch on?  Thanks [:)].

Hello Leon,

You wrote that the idea of another dimension is the same as the idea of another universe.  I would say that the idea of another dimension is the same as the idea of unlimited other universes.  Think of a 2-D plane as a "universe" that may be populated with 2-D creatures a la Edwin Abbott*.  For those creatures, the 2-D environment is all they know and all they can imagine.  We from our 3-D point of view see, of course, that their 2-D universe is only one of an infinite number of possible other 2-D universes, because there are unlimited possible planes in 3-D space in any imaginable orientation.  Do all these planes exist?  Yes, they do potentially.

In the same manner we must assume that there are an unlimited number of possible 3-D universes within a 4-dimansional environment.  We 3-D creatures are only aware of one 3-D universe, but there is no reason to believe that ours is the only one, since modern physics tells us that we actually live in a 4-D spacetime environment.  Beyond that, quantum physics talks about even more dimensions.

Now, if another dimension means (at least) another universe, and since we know that other dimensions do exist, we know that other universes exist, right?  Quantum physicists now generally accept this conclusion.  This does not mean that our universe is limited.  The other universes don't exist in the same 3-D space as ours and there is no "crowding" of universes in the same 3-D space.  Rather, there are an unlimited number of 3-D universes in 4-D and higher-D environments.  Our 3-D world is simply a subset of an n-D environment.

Yet, I hasten to say, even this scenario is still an illusion because any notion of dimensions implies that the transcendent Whole of Everything is divided.  This appears true from our point of view, but it is not so from the Whole's point of view, which is the ultimate reality.

All this is hard to explain in a short forum post.  If you are interested enough, Leon, you may want to visit my website or, better yet, read my book, Understanding the Grand Design: Spirituality's Inner Logic, referenced in my site.

Greetings!
Jo.

We call psychic phenomena "paranormal" because we don't understand the spiritual laws that make them possible.  Yet, I agree with jc84corvette that Quantum Metaphysics provides a logical explanation of paranormal events.  In fact, our minds control our environment all the time, we are just not aware of it.  PyroPsion69, you asked why our mind is able to control these things.  This information is now available in terms of a new Holistic Logic which is the core of Quantum Metaphysics as described in depth in my book Understanding the Grand Design: Spiritual Reality's Inner Logic.  It is not possible to adequately cover this subject in a forum post.  My website www.quantum-metaphysics.com might give you a general idea, but my book provides a better and more detailed explanation.
