Are Experiences Shaped By Our Beliefs? How Is The Superstring Field Theorized By Modern Physicists Related To Us The Universe And The Creator? Are There Higher States Of Human Consciousness? Can Faith And Science Provide Certain Answers? Have We Abolished Wonder Mystery And Play?The Nature Of God Puzzles Me. From One Perspective God Appears Transcendental Beyond My Experience Distant Up In Heaven. From Another Perspective God Is Intimate Personal Imminent And To Be Found Within Me. Is There Only One God? These Questions And Others Have Intrigued Me On My Spiritual Journey. My Catholic Education Helped Me To Identify And Clarify Them. Three Master’S Degrees And A Doctorate In Physiology Helped Me To Appreciate Research Methods And To Explore Secrets Of Living Systems. Travels On Three Continents Brought Me Into Contact With People And Traditions Of Other Cultures. I Became A Teacher Of The Transcendental Meditation Program Founded By Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
