When God created the world, He took raw energy and created everything.  This energy remains today in every object around us.  God made man from dirt and breathed the Breath of Life into him and allowed us to be part of His world.  The Breath of God is the literal Breath of Life.  The Breath can be seen as the physical air that gave life to the body.  It may also be seen as the birth of the soul and/or spirit that God placed in man.  When the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge was eaten, man received knowledge and the ability to acquire more.  Knowledge can be used for good or evil, there is no gray area.  The down-side to the knowledge that was received on that day is that death became part of the world as well.

God is in everything, God is everything.  He is present in all things; therefore, there is energy in all things.  Everything on this earth can be used and can be used for good.  All things should be used in moderation.  All things are His creation; it is only your intent and method of use that makes them bad.  He wants us to see His creation as His, and use it to His will.  If something is used for good and used in His will, then God will bless it.  He can work through anything because He is everything.  Don’t be afraid of how God can work!

So how is one certain future for ourselves chosen, and how can we do so consciously and still be objective?  By incorporating God into the equation.  God can be seen here as the source of an “unconditioned, objective state of unitive consciousness”.  This is how God still plays a role in our live, while giving us free-will.  How exactly does God influence us?  God is evident in the “Aha” and “Eureka” moments in our lives.  Say that a question is asked, either consciously or not.  The answer is in and amongst the multiple possibilities, so how can we possibly choose the correct one?  We let God be the creative force; let Him choose the answer for us.  We have to be open to God and trust Him in order for Him to work.  We have to give it over.  But, we must also remember to always give the credit back to Him (Goswami, 2008).    After all, it wasn’t our idea to start with!

Science often assumes that all interactions involve an exchange of energy.  But, it has been shown experimentally that causes and effects can occur at distances where there is no energy exchanged, also called quantum nonlocality.  This theory also establishes a means by which God can be both transcendent (otherworldly) and immanent (worldly).  Science says that thing cannot happen because energy cannot cross that divide (Goswami, 2008).    Well, God doesn’t need to!

There are 3 central philosophies today.  The first is dualism.  In dualism, God and the world are viewed separately.  God is not seen as being a part of this world, but He still has an influence on the things that happen here.  The second is material monism, where only the physical body exists.  In this thought there is no free-will and everything about us is predicted by our genetics.  These people look life the same as science, consiousness (or God) and the physical body cannot interact because there is no way to pass energy between them.  Then, the third is monistic idealism.  In this way of thinking, the consciousness is our base or beginning, with God at its core.  He is not separate from the world, because He can be both transcendent and immanent at once (Goswami, 2008). 

A set of experiments which further support the idea of one God, or supreme principle, study people when they reached a holotropic state.  During breathworking seminars, several people described having encounters with Jesus, Buddha, Osiris, or deities of other religions.  They described theses deities as not being of a supreme nature, but as having been created by some higher being.  These figures all can be seen as gateways to reach the central source, but should not be confused with Him.  This would otherwise lead to idolatry and take people away from God.  In contrast, those who seem to have experienced God describe the feeling of being completely satisfied and had no visualization of the archetypal images having been seen by the others.  Those who felt this supreme being, God, described a transcendence that defied rational and logical ideas.  It surpasses the limitations of the human mind.  Our ideas of God and our language cannot adequately describe the wonder that is God (Grof, 1998).

All spiritual traditions have an idealism trinity.  In most traditions, the transcendent and the immanent are brought together by the consciousness.  The Indian Vedanta has the nama (name) and the rupa (form), which are subject/object related and are both complementary and the same.  The maya (power of consciousness) creates these, being that it is a “discontinuous movement in consciousness”.  The yang and yin of Taoism co-arise and are dependent of each other, but do not have a nature of self without the consciousness.  As in the Christian trinity, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one in the same and can act separately, but it is God that created them and holds them together (Goswami, 2001).
