Program Summary

Our grasp of the Cosmic Story of our origin cannot be complete without an appreciation for the generative power that created the universe, and every moment underpins its existence. The Quantum Field, from which all matter is believed to have emerged, is also the medium through which the original creative impulse continues to flow, sustaining the ongoing evolution of the cosmos. Understanding the quantum essence of our being can help us align our lives with the spirit that animates all cosmic development.

The base of the universe seethes with such creativity that some physicists refer to the foundation as “space-time foam” - Brian Swimme

The universe emerges from the all-nourishing abyss not only fourteen billion years ago but in every moment - Brian Swimme

Explore the Science without the Math

Alive with restless energy, the quantum vacuum spits out and sucks in matter-antimatter particles every instant. This course will help you appreciate quantum ideas such as relationality, entanglement, superposition, and evocation, without the mathematical details.

“If one can be captivated by music without studying scales and be uplifted by poetry without studying meters, then surely one can be enlightened by quantum physics without studying equations.”  — Sarbmeet Kanwal 

Is this course for you?

• Do you feel lured by the mystery that surrounds Quantum physics but don’t see how it fits into the cosmic story?
• Do you have a hard time separating Quantum hype from authentic Quantum wisdom?
• Do you want to understand the essence of Quantum physics but feel you don’t have enough science/math background for it?

If your answer is yes to any of the above, then this course is for you!

Session Descriptions

Session 1 - Separation to Belonging:

Reality is layered. Its nature depends radically on the size scale at which it is examined. At the quantum scale matter is NOT made out of hard solid particles as Newton imagined it to be. Separateness vanishes, and parts have meaning only in the context of the whole.

Session 2 - Causality to Evocation:

In quantum reality there are no causes and effects. Everything that can happen, happens sooner or later but the likelihood of its happening is influenced by the whole that surrounds it. Evolution at quantum scales does not result from past history, it gets evoked by future possibility. 

Session 3 - Observer to Participant:

At quantum scales entities derive their identity not from their own properties but from their relationships with other entities. This dynamic turns objects into subjects and observers into participants. It connects everything in the universe into one vast cosmic web.

Session 4 - The Call from Beyond: 

Quantum physics has enabled us to look at what happened before the big bang. The universe arose from a perfectly aligned oneness which spontaneously differentiated itself into parts through a big explosion. The essence of that oneness still pervades the universe and calls us into alignment with the cosmic flow of evolution.
