Publisher's Synopsis
Something has bothered me all my life. I can accept that this universe, random as it seems, has a purpose. I look around me and see that we humans are the only ones on the earth who can reason and make choices that lead to progress. We humans can also continue to war with each other when we disagree, such as Syria, Iraq, Viet-Nam, WWII, and WWI. Humans may not be so sophisticated after all. What I cannot grasp is into what did all that matter explode? If it exploded into nothing, then nothing is something. If that is true, what are the properties of nothing? I have come to believe that time is like a blanket, the context that covers the physical universe completely. It had a beginning and will have an end. Humans are the only species capable of reflecting on time and spirituality. Why is that? Time is so integral to life, and spirituality is critical to our future. I hope that this book will spark some further examination from you. All reality has matured. There is one reality, but it has three dimensions, or universes. These three universes are qualitatively different, and we must use different methods of measurement to examine them properly. All of this leads up to a way to look at one reality using science, philosophy and religion as lenses that are not at cross purposes, but actual enhance each other. I offer these thoughts as a way to look at Four Epochs of time, and how one person, with a simple "Yes," made a difference in our evolution and changed time itself. The spiritual universe began with a free choice by a human, Mary, the Mother of God. Her response, "Yes," to God's invitation to be the mother of the Master was so powerful, that it changed time itself. A new paradigm began with just one word, just as did creation in John 1:1.
