It’s the Worldview, Mr. President

An Open Letter to President Obama

Dear President Obama,

            During president Clinton’s election campaign, the very effective slogan, ”It’s the Economy, Stupid” was coined.   Your slogan, “Change that you can believe in”, although perhaps not as provocative as Clinton’s, was not so entirely bad either.  It worked, didn’t it?  Even so, I think the phrase “It’s the worldview, stupid! ” would have been more relevant.  Please hear me out.

President Obama

 Now that you are at the helm of the country and have started to institute changes, your changes more and more seem to be a mixed bag of ideas.  Almost everybody that voted for you and still supports you, feels a little unsure if he or she can believe in all of the changes you have begun.  In some of them,yes; but in others, we are not so sure. 

Speaking specifically, the required changes needed are about meaning and values. When you were campaigning, you got that one right Mr. president! When you put programs forward in favor of the middle class, universal health care, education, or green economy, you are unambiguously siding with meaning and values. No confusion there.  But when you side with programs for bailing out the financial investment banks like AIG, are you supporting meaning and values?   Continue reading…

From India, to England, to The Hague

IndiaI have been traveling a lot recently — to the subcontinent of India, where it was warm and nice, then to the cold rain of late winter London, then in March to the sunny but crispy cold weather at The Hague in the Netherlands.

In each of the places, I had a unique experience of consciousness, each of which reflects the ongoing journey taking place in the consciousness of many of us.

In India, I was the guest of Bhakti Vendanta Institute for their conference in Trichi in Southern India on the first anniversary of the passing away of Dr. TD Sing, a great scientist/spiritual teacher. TD Sing spent many years trying to integrate science and spirituality, and I became acquainted with him in that capacity.

What was interesting for me at the conference was talking to the students who attended my talk. Now, mind you, these are serious students of engineering of the famous Indian Institute of Technology. As such they are supposed to be gung-ho materialists, believing not only in the supremacy of matter, but also in the capacity of material technology to change the way humans should live all over the world.

But the students surprised me. They actually enjoyed the idea that science and spirituality can be integrated. They did not mind that this means giving up the idea of primacy of matter; in fact they welcomed it. I was especially surprised by the keen interest the students had in what I call Quantum Activism — how one can use the quantum ideas of creativity, non-local consciousness and tangled hierarchy to change their selves and the cultures they live in.

The Quantum Doctor Coursework

IQUIMA 22 hour coursework with Dr. Goswami is now available at the International Quantum University of Integrated Medicine (IQUIM). An integral medicine is developed in this course based upon the principles of quantum physics and the primacy of consciousness.

The coursework shows how the metaphysical principles underlying both conventional allopathic medicine and the various techniques of alternative medicine can all be incorporated within the metaphysics of the primacy of consciousness.

We then explore a new typology of disease and healing techniques from this new perspective, sharing how the quantum field and the primacy of consciousness thinking integrate conventional and alternative medicine in a paradox-free fashion.

Then an exploration follows of alternative medicine techniques such as Chinese medicine and acupuncture, the East Indian medicine system of Ayurveda, chakra medicine, homeopathy, mind-body medicine, Christian Science and spiritual healing. Finally we explore the healing path to spiritual growth.
