Religion, Spiritual Mysticism, and Einstein's "spooky at a distance" world of Quantum Physics. Is the Universe Conscious? Which belief or religious doctrine is the right one? Is there a perspective on which some in Science and Religion can agree? How do we know? This book explores a long, considered view that will outrage many and motivate others to awaken from the trance of complacent, permissive indoctrination.Religions? Hundreds. Denominations? Tens of thousands. What is the real agenda? What do the endless assertions "I'm right, you are wrong" accomplish? Is winning a Biblical argument a sport of superiority or ointment for a bruised ego? Out of what do our opinions arise? Is the parade of avowed assertions arrogance or unconfronted ignorance? Are they both the same?Volume I of the three-volume trilogy is partly cathartic expose that boldly but respectfully confronts the centuries-old platitudes that evade rather than address evangelical fundamentalism's avowed certainty of an exclusive relationship with God. It is part autobiography, part inquiry, but in every case, it is a thorough, hard-hitting, thoroughly documented analysis that questions dogmatic, inflexible perspectives. It is altogether the epiphanic resolution of a forty-year divergence between the heart's knowing and a convinced mind. The author revisits his earliest childhood memories and uncovers the life-altering origins of a fifty-year immersion in evangelical fundamentalism. The story takes an unexpected turn that drags him kicking and screaming to face a luminous truth he could no longer refute.The author's birth in the Deep South and a lifetime in evangelicalfundamentalism began an unintended 50-year journey thatuniquely qualified him to present this unlikely perspective. He began a fruitful career as a technology solutions marketer, most recently serving as a Vice President of Population Health for a leading healthcare analytics company, wrapping up a 35-year career in Enterprise, Healthcare. He and his childhood sweetheart Ronda are parents to a son, daughter, and grandparents to four intelligent and beautiful granddaughters. Jerry is a business leader, artist, inventor, musician, entrepreneur, and author witha passion for quantum physics and the astonishing implicationsof a conscious universe.
