“…as we survey the principle features of [the] post-Einsteinian world…step by step we [move] into the Hebrew prophet’s eschatological world. A universe bound fast to grim, timeless necessity gives way to a stochastic or chancy universe in which contingent and irreversible time begin to count again. For Western culture, which has always been essentially time-oriented, this is of enormous importance. It means that our physics and astrophysics can be contextualized within the biblical perspective.”

For five decades I’ve been struggling to develop an understanding (theory) of “ultimate reality” in a way compatible with Catholic Faith Tradition and cosmic evolution. In their principled compatibility, humankind supposes divinity even as divinity supposes humankind. The reconciliation of the divine/human perspective is necessarily ongoing and changing as is human awareness; my understanding as of now is offered below.
I have a sense that constellations of “Psychic Precondition” exist in infinite realms of consciousness, what I call “divine instance”. The physical calculus of superstring theory allows for multiple universes, what are openly psychic realms and immaterial in character. What this suggests is that there are ordered constellations of interactive harmonic energy, qualified psychically, not necessarily physically.
The constellations of harmonic energy are a precondition and expansive basis of cosmic consciousness (light energy) that substantiates the universe and characterizes the psychology of physical constructs and the energetic relationships within and between them. The various hierarchies of consciousness function in multiple realms of rationality and may be accessed by intentional focus, whether within or outside physical constructs.
The harmonic complexes (of superstrings) have a stability that is beyond decomposition, as we understand it from and in the unstable and changing states of matter. There is in these harmonic realms no entropic degrading as we know it. Human “soul”, Earth-soul and the intentionality of consciousness are commonly stabilized and secured in faith awareness, the resonance of preconditioned harmonics, accessible for attenuation.
The psychic connection of the living and the “dead” is a universal phenomenon of consciousness. We, who have experienced the passing of an especially loved one, experience a new closeness and “communion” of spiritual awareness that was not previously possible before the passing of the loved one.
The psychic connection between the living and the “non-living” is a long celebrated religious phenomenon, identified in Christian experience as the “Communion of saints”. The holiness of the cosmic order characterizes the holiness of the living person and the religious constant of sustained intentional faith life.
