A combination of quantum physics, quantum biology, quantum sociobiology, and quantum metaphysics gives us a good working context for understanding key aspects of non-quantum existence that structure our day to day lives.
It is useful for thinking about who we are and what we are doing to think, know, and understand that everything that exists can be thought of as being included in one of those four core paradigms and to know that we understand them better than we've ever known them in our science and our lives.
Science reinforces that macro paradigm
We have been blessed with an explosion of brilliant science. We have delineated brilliant and powerful quantum physics formulas that let us build lasers, atomic clocks, computers, nuclear reactors, and nuclear bombs — and the quantum physics formulas we now have are so wonderful that they have never failed in their functions and in their predictions and functionality even when we didn’t understand what some of them were and when we sometimes didn't believe that what they were predicting is possible.
We now have a sense of everything existing in waves and we now know that our reading of the waves helps make them what they are in ways that seemed absolutely nonsensical when that concept and functionality first come into our lives and into our understanding.
We also now know that bonding happens between quantum elements in ways that are simultaneous and absolutely outside of the scope of both distance and time.
Time is now a multi-layered thing
Time functions for us in our normal linear ways and time also functions — as Albert Einstein discerned and pointed out — in “relative” ways that he carefully crafted into the theory of relativity, and he pointed out that it also functions simultaneously in the quantum entanglement linkages that Einstein, himself, called Spooky Interactions at a Distance.
The new physics are almost magical.
And we are almost wizards.
We have built economies and societies and our internet connections around the products of our quantum physics and we now have almost magical insights into the tools of Life, itself, that function in alignment with the physics to give us levels of control and direction into biological areas that we only speculated and guessed about until the very recent past.
We're in an explosion of learning about life itself that gives us control over areas that were only matters for speculation until the very recent past.
We now have extremely detailed knowledge of the core ingredients of the processes of life — DNA and RNA — that let us better understand both our epigenetics and our genetics in far more advanced and effective ways.
We now have tools that we can use to actually modify our own DNA and we can intentionally steer our own evolution as a species for the first time ever in our existence.
Intellectual evolution happens at multiple levels and it's clearly happening right now for us in important ways.
We have now evolved as a species intellectually to the point that we could actually, if we choose to do so, literally change our own DNA and choose to evolve in targeted, intentional and inheritable ways as living beings and as a human species.
The extremely powerful CRISPR tool kit actually allows us to get directly involved in our organizing functionality in amazing ways.
We've moved past the point where we needed serendipitous mutations to create evolutionary developments, and we now know our own DNA so well that we can have the next level of evolution for us be absolutely intentional and guided rather than circumstantially and situationally happened.
We're now much more knowledgeable now about how all of those processes work and we can steer areas where we were circumstantially steered.
It's increasingly obvious and clear when we look at the very sophisticated programming that is intentionally built into our DNA and our RNA and when we look at the very sophisticated formulas that our physicists are developing and discerning though our schools of quantum thought, that there are major areas of intentional design in each of those areas of our existence and it is increasingly obvious and scientifically evident that those tools that we have in all of those areas did not just happen on their own.
Patterns rule
Basic patterns guide major areas of our lives.
We have clear and discernable patterns in physics and in biology and in our own human psychology and socio biology that we need to understand and utilize in order to give us the best possible set of futures years and lives for ourselves and for our children and their children after them. And to keep us from destroying ourselves.
The new tool kit could be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands.
We can build atomic bombs and chemical bombs and biological bombs, and automated self-directed killing robots, drones, and killing machines — and it's entirely possible for us to have evil people who decide to inflict pandemics and diseases on ourselves and on each other at horrible levels and in horrible ways if we screw up and go down those damaging paths.
That might happen.
We are capable of making the choice to go down those paths. Our instincts steer us in those directions.
We instinctively divide the world into Us and Them and it is irrefutably evident and clear that we can do terrible things to Them with no sense of remorse or guilt.
We split into tribes, and we have people who hate and damage the other tribe and feel like heroes when they do that damage.
We actually have instincts to feel like heroes when we damage whoever we believe to be “Them.”
We do bad things to “them.”
We enslave them. We firebomb them. We have people right now with bombs strapped to their bodies going into settings with the goal of killing Them.
We have over a hundred and 35 current ethnic wars going on in the world today with those us-them instincts activated. In each of those settings.
We are programmed to do tribal things at both very saintly and deeply evil ways — and we have hierarchical instinct in place that are so strong that we end up with people who become alpha in settings who are willing to kill other people to maintain their alpha status and who have followers who feel right being in their hierarchy who also are often willing to kill people that their alpha leader wants killed.
We can see those patterns and processes in place and functioning in an extremely wide range of settings.
People in academic settings fight in their own way to maintain power as heads of departments and people in political alpha positions often become so addicted to the flow of positive neurochemicals that they will do almost whatever they need to do to stay in position for years on end.
Senators will stay in office for decades past their normal trajectories — and the people who are in those alpha category jobs convey their beta and theta status to their direct staff and team and the beta and theta people also tend to fight hard to keep the political leaders in power. Deputy mayors hate the prospect of not being deputy mayors, so they have a strong tendency to convince the mayors to remain in their position of power as long as they possibly can.
Companies and unions have presidents. The leaders often stay in office for a long time because they really like being alpha in each of those settings.
People who lead nations try hard to stay in power forever. The number of national leaders who leave power voluntarily is a very short list. The heads of Russia and China are currently in the process of turning those positions into lifetime appointments — and there is no doubt in their minds that is the right thing to do
The biggest and most relevant danger we face in many settings is from people who manage to get other groups of people to fight with one another to maintain their own power. People unite in instinctive ways against common enemies, and leaders of groups often find that their personal power either increases or solidifies in times of inter group conflict.
Any set of groups can be a context for those behaviors. Religious groups tend to have alpha leaders who sometimes work to create a sense of common enemy to stay in power and who create their own levels of faithful Beta and Theta followers who reinforce and support their behaviors.
We have multiple settings in our country today where we are tribalizing in various dangerous ways and where we are fighting with each other because that has happened.
We need to understand those patterns of behavior and we need to steer our leaders into being leaders for Peaceful futures rather than conflict and anger.
We often can steer leaders for our groups at least some of the time, because leaders need the support of their group and it is possible to ask for ethical and peaceful behaviors by our leaders in in some settings in exchange for our support.
We need a context for that to happen. We need to build and rebuild a sense that America is a nation built on ethical values and aligned behaviors — and we should decide to be an American Us connected by our values and our beliefs.
The best way forward to give us and our grandchildren the opportunity to live in a safe world that is not at war with itself is to build a new sense of Us based on our values, our ideals, our ethics, and on our most enlightened sense of who we are.
We do need to be an American Us
We need shared values, honest communications and a clear sense that we should be earning each other’s trust by doing trustworthy things and by actually believing that win-win outcomes actually are the very best strategy and the very best goal because it’s actually and really the only possible way for us all to win.
We should all be able to win.
We live in a world of plenty. We should be able to take the incredibly impressive set of things that we can create with our new quantum physics tool kit and with our new quantum biology tool kit and with our new commitment to be an enlightened American Us and give us all great health care, basic housing safety, meaningful jobs and worthwhile functions, perpetual education, and basic and even healthy food.
We won’t get to that future if we decide to tribalize and fight.
We should look at what we have in our world and appreciate the fact that we live in Eden and we definitely should not screw that up.
We should think more broadly about what we are and why we are here.
We are both tiny and huge.
The number of neuron connections in our brains is actually just about the same number as the number of galaxies in the visible universe. Those are both very big numbers — and we should each be accountable for using those billions of connections in the most accountable, smart, wise, and appropriate ways.
The fourth paradigm in that four-paradigm model of existence described above is Metaphysics. Metaphysics gives us context for the entire package and a framework for thinking about our lives and our futures together.
We now know from our magnificent new science that the programming for all of those processes in quantum physics and quantum biology is intentional and very well designed, and we need to be grateful for the opportunity to use those tools to benefit us all and we should use them well.
Time is on our side — and time is running out.
We now know from our quantum physics contexts that Time has multiple layers and configurations and we should look at that total context and recognize that the most important time for each of us and for all of us is NOW!
Now!
We need to enjoy and optimize “now.”
This website for InterGroup Understanding has a long piece on the four paradigms of existence.
The Intergroup website also has some relevant and relatively recent thought pieces done by some of the wisest and most credible thinkers on the planet about the trajectory that we're one and they have given us books to help us understand what they are thinking and what opportunities we have now for a future of Peace.
George Ellis is brilliant.
Frank Wilczek is brilliant.
Francis Collins is brilliant.
Perry Marshall is brilliant.
John Thatamanil is brilliant.
Joseph Selbie and Carlo Rovelli are brilliant.
The four Institute for InterGroup Understanding books on instinctive behavior are also extremely useful and are available free on the website now.
Primal Pathways, Cusp of Chaos, The Art of InterGroup Peace, and Peace in Our Time are all worth reading because they explain the world of instinctive behaviors that we're in and show how those behaviors have shaped our history and our behaviors in every setting.
The call for a Peace movement on the website is directionally correct and the call for us all to agree to tell the truth in our lives and key settings has potential for being a quiet and personally accountable way that many of us can reintroduce certain levels of ethical and considerate behavior into our world as a set of personal choices and commitments that are worth doing as a start for the process and then embedded into our lives.
We need to understand our instincts to 'be' Us and Them, to 'support' our Us, and to 'damage' Them. We need to channel those emotions, values, goals, behaviors, and thought processes into optimal thinking to steer us in right directions and to collectively create alignments as Us across the planet, so we can create ongoing intergroup peace in every setting.
We, like every species that has both male and female members, also have patterns of instinctive behavior and biological realities that are tied to each gender, and we need to deal in the most effective ways with the opportunities we have to use marriage and to have and use other intentional and direct alliances to give us the best ways of having children, of creating communities, and of having everyone have optimal realization of those behaviors when they're relevant to people and to their lives.
We need to channel our gender-related instincts into behavior patterns and cultural practices that make our families successful over time and that give us the best environment for raising our children in all of the relevant settings and give us offspring and descendants who achieve the goals we want them to achieve.
Sex is part of that package.
The Swedish mystic and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg, who said that marriage should be an anchor of our faith and should enable and create connubial bliss as a goal and a key component of the marriage process, adds that set of behaviors from the quantum sociobiology factors into the quantum metaphysics portion of our thinking, and gives us another set of Peace-related strategies and goals that we should consider as we go forward in this world of gifts that we've received from God.
Sex has instinct links that we should learn to use in the ways that give people the best lives and supportive and effective practices that enhance lives and create better outcomes for us to build on for those times in our lives when those behaviors add value and can be positive components of our interactions with each other in the most appropriate ways.
We're all part of the developmental process for ourselves and for each other, and we should make our decisions in effective and enlightened ways about the paths we're on.
We have a sense that we're not in a universe where every component part has been micro designed and engineered at a higher level, but we're clearly in a universe where very important and highly relevant processes have been put in place for physics, biology, and various behaviors — and our destiny and our role is to be conscious participants in the unfolding of all of the pieces that exist for the key parts of our lives.
We know from the famous double split experiment in physics that matter is defined by being perceived, and we know that linked particles can have full, absolute, and complete alignment by being entangled. And we can believe that our own lives are supported and exist by being in our own situational Now that's on a timeline that defines and supports each of our lives and is our context for existing in this now.
We live in a world of processes that function in those timelines, and it's clear that there is a significant amount of situationally and targeted evolutionary work that's been done in each of those processes to give us the tool kit we have today.
Classic Darwinian evolution at the micro level clearly did not happen — but we now know that process-enabled evolution happens constantly and it functions in the context of each species that exists now and it's linked to the conscious connections that are inherent in each package of DNA when it's unfolded into the world.
We're Guided, Served, and Channeled by Processes
Inter Group Peace in our country needs to be supported by knowing what instinctive behaviors put us at the most risk and by knowing which instinctive behaviors give us the best chances and most effective tools for knowing how to make Peace happen for us all.
We each have conscious minds and we each have free will, and that means that we each get and need to decide how to respond to that opportunity that exists for us in all of those areas based on the gifts we've been given and on our understanding of what those gifts are and how they function.
We need to look at the paradigms of physics, biology, sociobiology, and of metaphysical awareness of God to give us context for our lives and then we should and can make life choices accordingly that guide each of us on those paths.
Look at the body of knowledge that our science is building for us. We have the potential to be both saints and sinners, and it’s much better for each of us to decide to be saints at this point in our history than to allow our worst sets of behaviors and most negative values run our lives.
We need to recognize that we might be in danger because some of those pieces could put us at risk if they get in wrong hands and are used to steer us into bad places.
We might be in danger now in some areas, and we might not even know how much danger we're in, because the evil and negative people who are steering some behaviors in those areas are tricking and deceiving us with what they're saying and doing, and they do it well and with powerful persuasive impact that feels very right to us when it happens.
False prophets exist and they can steer us to bad places.
We could be on a very slippery slope to some very bad places in our country now if we allow that instinct activation of our most negative beliefs, behaviors, and emotions to happen, and if we let the most evil people in our settings guide us to both positive and negative tribal thinking that often feels so right at an instinctive level to all of us, because those instincts are so powerful when they're effectively activated and when they win our support at an instinctive level.
Our science is clearly a Gift from God and we should appreciate the opportunity we have now to use our science to be good stewards of that gift.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is clearly part of that overall and total gift package. We could be blessed by what AI is able to do.
We're able to expand and extend our grasp and control over all of the other gifts in biology and physics if we use the best versions of AI and then do better science, better processes, and have better interactions with each other with those AI system as our tools and facilitators for that better work.
We're smarter in all areas with those AI programs in gear and functioning, so we should use them to enhance our performance and to expand our science in all areas.
We can and should add AI to the Christian tool kit — and we can and should be better Christians and better stewards of this planet and this existence with those tools in hand.
The words of Jesus in their purist and most accessible ways help make that particular trajectory possible.
We have a very useful and appropriate pathway to the future through the metaphysical opportunities presented by various faiths is to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and to have the Lord's Prayer and the Sermon on the Mount as easy direction for interacting with the world in faith-based ways.
It’s clear that the 35 million enzymes that support and link clearly coded and intentional DNA and RNA are not accidents of some kind.
We can see some patterns in our faith trajectory that we should enjoy, understand, welcome, support, and appreciate as individuals and groups in the world we live in today and do the right things to help each other achieve those goals and improve those trajectories.
Rev. Ernest Simmons has written a book linking quantum physics to the Trinity called The Entangled Trinity, Quantum Physics and Theology, that reinforces that context in a fairly direct and useful way, and he makes the words of Jesus the anchor for that with a basic Concordia underpinning
For people looking for optimal processes and the most enlightened responses to all of the opportunity that has consciousness at the core, having Jesus tell us to do loving and caring things for the other people we share this trajectory with feels right to many people, and it doesn’t have a down side if we make the absolute love in that message the behaviors and the values that guide us now.
AI should be used as a tool to make that happen.
Peace should be our goal.
The four paradigms give us a useful and understandable context for that to happen.
It’s happening now.
