I tend to be a very logical person and a scientist at heart. I guess that’s why it’s difficult for me to fully embrace my son in his spiritual form. It just doesn’t seem logical. But then again, science and logic are based on the physical world, not the spiritual world.
But there are some principles of science that seem to support the existence of life after death:
- The Law of Conservation of Mass posits that matter is neither created nor destroyed.
- The Law of Conservation of Energy (First Law of Thermodynamics): posits that energy is neither created nor destroyed.
- Einstein’s equation E = mc2 proposes that the total amount of mass and energy in the universe is constant. This represents the combination of the two prior laws about energy and matter.
To me this is scientific support for life after death. We all possess life energy and a physical existence. While our bodies return to their earthly roots after death, the soul lives on. It has to. It’s pure energy.
My son has communicated to me that he is “pure energy” now and Angela Dawn in her book “Love Never Dies,” also discusses how her deceased mother and sister communicated to her that they are pure energy.
Now science has possibly given further proof of the connection between souls with the theory of “quantum entanglement.” Albert Einstein called it, “spooky action at a distance,” which doesn’t sound very scientific and in fact, sounds quite other-worldly. Yet who could be more respected in science than Albert Einstein? Read Washington Post article here, about quantum entanglement and a recent, groundbreaking experiment conducted in space.
Simply put, quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two particles mirror each other no matter what distance is between them. What happens to one, is mirrored in the other. This sounds a lot like the concept of soul mates and soul families. We are connected to souls of our loved ones (and maybe even strangers), regardless of the distance. We sense them and sometimes even feel what is happening to them.
Another great article “Can Science Explain the Soul?” by Deepak Chopra (with Stuart Hameroff) connects the dots between quantum physics and the existence of the soul. Read the article here. It gets a little technical, but you can scroll down to the end of the article for the take-home message about how concepts in quantum physics (and the new field of quantum biology) can be used to argue for the existence of the soul and conscious thought. (Who knew??)
It seems that the laws of quantum physics apply in many ways to consciousness and the concept that souls unite as one after death. They become linked to the vast sea of souls in the spiritual world, a collective that works together.
Angela Dawn discusses this concept this in her book; that while her sister and mother retained some of their individual souls, they also were part of a greater collection of united souls, working together to help the universe.
I love it when science and spirituality come together. One day, I believe science will prove the existence of the spiritual world and that the souls of our loved ones live on.
