The Resurrection of Christ is of central importance to Christianity. Without the Resurrection, the death of Christ is totally without meaning. Even worse, the words of Christ are fake news, plain bragging, empty exclamations. This is why the debate around the reality of the Resurrection has been raging for centuries. […]
SECOND AND MORE SPIRITUAL SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS

The entire country is currently observing Holy Week. But do we know the connection between the Agony of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane before His death on the cross and His temptation in the desert? When we understand this connection, we have a massive clue as to how to […]
The article explores how contemplating mortality, through practices like memento mori, can lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. It suggests exercises such as reflecting on one’s beliefs about death, exploring diverse cultural perspectives on mortality, writing one’s own obituary, cultivating gratitude, and considering how imminent death would alter one’s […]
The article delves into the concept of the human energy field, or aura, as an electromagnetic layer reflecting well-being and composed of seven layers connected to chakras, influencing health and relationships. It emphasizes practices like meditation and mindfulness to attune to our energy, identify imbalances, and enhance spiritual well-being. Negative […]
Plants achieve near-perfect efficiency in photosynthesis by harnessing quantum mechanical effects for energy transfer. When light is absorbed by chlorophyll, the excitation energy is distributed over multiple states, creating a superposition that enables efficient, almost loss-free transport of solar energy within and between molecules. A recent study highlights the crucial […]
The article “Why We Need to Embrace a Unifying Systems View of Life” argues for a holistic approach to understanding life, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all living systems. It critiques reductionist perspectives that isolate individual components, suggesting that such views fail to capture the complexity and dynamism of life. By […]
The article “The Mental Universe,” published in Nature, discusses the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics on our understanding of reality, particularly emphasizing the role of consciousness in shaping our perception of the universe. Richard Conn Henry argues that the universe is fundamentally mental, suggesting that physical reality is influenced by human […]
Quantum mechanics, despite its success in explaining various phenomena, presents a fundamental challenge: its description of physical systems differs from what we observe. Unlike classical physics, quantum mechanics requires special processes to describe measurement, a concept physicists disagree on. This divergence stems from the fact that quantum mechanics suggests properties […]
The article discusses groundbreaking research indicating that epigenetic memories can be inherited across 14 generations. This study highlights how environmental factors and experiences can alter gene expression, which may then be passed down to descendants, influencing their behaviors and responses to stress. The findings suggest a complex interplay between genetics […]
Recent research led by Dr. Elias H. Barriga has shown that electric fields in our bodies play an important role in how embryos develop, particularly in guiding the movement of certain cells called neural crest cells. These cells are crucial for forming parts of the face, neck, and nervous system. […]
Researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and other institutions have developed a mathematical model that predicts the optimal body plan for a fruit fly’s early embryo, suggesting that evolution may offer multiple optimal configurations rather than a single solution. This model highlights how biological systems, unlike […]
In this discussion with Know Thyself host Andre Duqum, Gregg Braden emphasizes the rapid advancement of technology and its potential to outpace our moral and ethical understanding, particularly regarding human biology and artificial intelligence. He warns that while we have the unprecedented ability to alter our biology, this technological evolution […]
