11:00 Service with Lesley Andrews
“God 4.0?”
Spiritual practices and their derived institutions (religions) have evolved over the millennia as evidenced in the written and archaeological record. The evolution of these practices has notably been driven by the periodic restatement of a personal proposition: “a human can expand its experience and enable wider connected understanding of its place in the world via mastering certain alternative states of consciousness.”
With increasing scientific knowledge of physics as well as the workings of our neurobiology and psychology, we have begun to scientifically understand spiritual experiences that formerly could only be described via metaphors.
Is it time to move to a new framework? Existing frameworks include Shamanism (1.0), Gods everywhere for everything (2.0), monotheism (3.0).
Is God 4.0 what is emerging?
This service will scratch the surface of a book: God 4.0: On the Nature of Higher Consciousness and the Experience Called “God” (The Psychology of Conscious Evolution Trilogy) by Robert Ornstein and Sally Ornstein, 2021.
Lesley Andrews is a retired IT systems architect with long intertwined interests in history, psychology, religion, and Sufism.
