Life-Force

The "life-force or heartbeat of the Universe" which I spoke of yesterday is very much evident and present in things like healing touch, the impact of meditation on health and the positive effect of prayer on heart patients. The life-force, which I will call love, also fits nicely into what physicists call quantum field theory, yet it is generally discounted or ignored. As Conrow Coelho says "Numinous experiences of Presence, of Light, of beauty and truth have no home in modern reductive scientific understanding." I prefer to realize that scientific understanding is a wonderful approach to the world as we know it, but it is also limited.
