The Illumination

Description

Explore one of the most intriguing of mysteries: Enlightenment . . . what is it?

The conflict between two worldviews, one religious, the other academic, has long perplexed the Western mind. Throughout history, proponents of both sides have proclaimed their supremacy by ridiculing or suppressing elements of reality that did not fit within their accepted framework of knowledge. New discoveries are changing the understanding of our world as compelling evidence emerges from breakthroughs in quantum physics.

“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of the existence of consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness. The mind is the matrix of all matter.” —Max Planck, Nobel Laureate and originator of Quantum Mechanics

“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms, for consciousness is absolutely fundamental. Quantum physics reveals a basic oneness of the universe. Multiplicity is only apparent; in truth, there is only one mind.” —Legendary Physicist Erwin Schrödinger

This profound concept has been expressed by Eastern mystics and sages throughout the millennia, the philosophy of one mind, of the one-consciousness present in all things. Could the experience of enlightenment be the direct experience of this one mind? Deep in the wilderness of the Himalayas, surrounded by towering ice peaks, explorer M.G. Hawking has an encounter that sheds light on this fascinating question, an experience that illuminates the mystical secrets of life.
