Combining the latest revolutionary science from both cosmology and consciousness, Our Quantum Souls can be summarized by a series of related assumptions relevant to the scientific and historical reality of planetary life and minds on Earth. Based on the overwhelming observational telescopic evidence, now confirmed at every spectrum and at every distance, we can reasonably assume that a “Big Bang” did not occur 13.8 billion years ago; that the universe is not expanding; and that it is static and infinite. If true, further rational assumptions can be made. Assume that the observable ...
