\u201cI have no energy\u201d; \u201cI feel hopeless\u201d; \u201cHe hurt my feelings\u201d; \u201cI need time for myself\u201d; \u201cI can\u2019t stand her\u201d; \u201cI\u2019m comfortable with this\u201d; \u201cI\u2019m scared of what\u2019s coming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who is this \u201cI\u201d we constantly refer to? The \u201cI\u201d that loves or hates others? That wants or rejects various things? That has energy or feels drained?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until now, neuroscience and many psychological approaches have treated the experience of \u201cI\u201d \u2014 our sense of awareness or consciousness \u2014 as something that originates in the body and brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent years, however, some researchers, even within the scientific establishment, have begun to question the claim that the brain is the only source of consciousness. Near-death experiences and past-life memories, for example, are now being studied systematically, and they raise questions that the accepted view still cannot answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Science will indeed need to move beyond the assumptions of classical physics. Quantum physics has already begun to open that door, and as science goes further, it will discover entirely new realms previously hidden from view. It will then be able to explain phenomena that many spiritually developed people already know firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mainstream science will then reach the same insights and understanding that gifted scientists grasped and achieved in the previous century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nikola Tesla \u2014 widely regarded as one of history\u2019s greatest inventors and electrical engineers \u2014 is credited with saying the following about his own brain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
