The Meaning Of Life

Countries like ours are full of people who have all of the material comforts they desire, yet lead lives of quiet (and at times noisy) desperation, understanding nothing but the fact that there is a hole inside them and that however much food and drink they pour into it, however many motorcars and television sets they stuff it with, however many well-balanced children and loyal friends they parade around the edges of it...it aches!"

Bernard Levin

Sooner or later everyone starts to ask questions about the nature of reality. We are curious about who we are; the true nature of reality and what our place in it is. Our search will usually take us to information, including the major religions, that suggests a 'wholeness' to reality; that everything is 'one'; that we are more than just flesh and blood.
We are now in a very exciting time when quantum physics is making discoveries about reality that support what the ancient wisdom philosophies have been saying for thousands of years. It is therefore surprising that there are hundreds of websites which claim to be examining the nature of reality, but in fact are only examining small areas of this 'oneness'; they seem to have fallen into the trap of 'dualism'. That is to say, no matter what their starting point is, or what terminology they use, sooner or later they talk in terms of 'spiritual' and 'physical'. They are left with these seemingly irreconcilable opposites which will never allow the true nature of reality to make sense. It is the same mistake classical science made when trying to find the so-called spark of life that they thought was somehow injected into inert matter. It is only with the advent of quantum physics, and in particular the work of such eminent physicists as Professor David Bohm, that science has started to realise that a totally new and radical approach is needed to begin to understand the nature of reality.

If you would like to know more about this work then log-on to which will give you some insights into the latest findings of quantum physics and how it is beginning to support the ancient wisdom philosophies.

And that's probably as close as we'll ever get to the truth :)
