Whether we realize it or not, our lives are on the verge of a dramatic paradigm shift based on the emerging discoveries of quantum physicists. This is a shift none of us will be able to escape, but we must ask the question: will the belief systems we’ve created be able to endure the change. When it was discovered that the world orbited the sun, people where forced to change their understanding of the physical universe, and the validity of many belief systems came under scrutiny as well. The church was no longer the sole arbitrator of truth and was forced to accept the ascendancy of scientific thought. While Eastern philosophies appear to neatly co-exist with the expanding quantum paradigm, Western theology, as presented by organized religion, does not. There is little doubt that a large percentage of the Bible will be rendered obsolete by quantum discoveries, but does this mean that all Western belief systems must fall with it? Gnosis, by its very definition, signifies a desire for truth. Unlike religion, science poses no threat to gnosis, and in fact should enhance it. Albert Einstein said, “. . .religious teachers. . .will surely recognize with joy that true religion has been ennobled and made more profound by scientific knowledge. When examined from the standpoint of quantum physics, many of the Gnostic Gospels do reflect an understanding of the universe that very closely parallels recent quantum discoveries. This should not be surprising since gnosis is derived from a personal experience of the Divine. The Gnostic Jesus is revealed as an enlightened teacher, fully aware of the true nature of the universe, a teacher who has the capacity to carry us into the emerging quantum paradigm.
