It expands on quantum mechanics and string theories.

In my ebook “the greatest achievement in life,” on comparative mysticism, is a quote by Albert Einstein: â??â?¦most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and most radiant beauty â?? which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive form â?? this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of all religion.â??

E=mc², Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, is probably the best known scientific equation. I revised it to help better understand the relationship between divine Essence (Spirit), matter (mass/energy: visible/dark) and consciousness (f(x) raised to its greatest power). Unlike the speed of light, which is a constant, there are no exact measurements for consciousness. In this hypothetical formula, basic consciousness may be of insects, to the second power of animals and to the third power the rational mind of humans. The fourth power is suprarational consciousness of mystics, when they intuit the divine essence in perceived matter. This was a convenient analogy, but there cannot be a divine formula.

What kind of trouble am I in?

I totally expected to get slaughtered by offering an opinion contrary to what Dawkins offered – in other words I did not fall in line like the rest of the ‘free-thinking’ pack. I actually offered the only bit of ‘free-thinking’ there. I would have gone totally unnoticed if I heaped praise on Dawkins but I did not. I challenged him – in a polite way which is more than I can say about the manners of his flock.

There can be no ‘free-thinking oasis’ if the culture of the group is to set boundaries in terms of what is acceptable to say and what is not. In my case, challenging Mr. Dawkins was ‘unacceptable’.

I found the entire experience rather creepy and ichy so it was not a very good place for me to be anyway. In my humble opinion his website is eerily close to being a cult.

The topic of Mr. Dawkins was the Pope. There were no holds barred and the faithful ate it all up. The insults and attacks directed towards the Pope in response to Mr. Dawkins article were disturbing, yet apparantly ok.

I knew I would not last long and this was fine. I wanted to test the waters just to see how ‘free-thinking’ his oasis is. Well, not very.

Feel free to try. It was actually rather fun…

But instead of offering an example, you instead go on to mention how other posters made fun of you.

See? That’s the exactly the kind of unsupported assertion that will get you into trouble when you attempt to challenge a skeptic / atheist.

If you are for the man, there is no need to check facts. Just bash away at the latest object of ridicule and you’re one of the gang. And when Dawkins himself has something to add, prepare yourself for some extreme nausea as the comments in response are nothing short of disturbing in their unabated praise and approval, regardless of how outrageous his posting was.

I joined his ‘club’ – the ‘free-thinking oasis’ for the purpose of offering a ‘different’ or ‘opposing’ view that what Richard had offered. Well, so much for free thought. The troops rallied against the ‘inturder’ and I got a bashing of cheap shots and childish jabs that pre-school children would be put in time-out for. When I pointed out my observations re; that there appeared to be a culture of worship which acted against ‘free-thought’ I was banished from commenting anymore.

Hmmm.
