Switching our perspective from physics to biology undoes some of the biggest "facts" we've been taught about the world, including life and death, time and space, and God and the universe.
A long list of scientific experiments suggests our belief in death is based on a false premise, that the world exists independent of us -− the great observer.
Have you ever wondered what it's really all about? How does this little life of ours fits into the larger picture -- into a reality so huge the Universe itself is but a speck?
According to biocentrism, a new "theory of everything," the material and immaterial worlds are co-relative. Life and consciousness represents one side of the equation, matter and energy the other.
According to biocentrism, the mind transcends space and time in that they're its tools, and not the other way around. This conception of reality dissolves human individuality.
You spend a third of your life sleeping. What if your dreams are real? Perhaps our dismissal of dreams as 'just dreams' is a misunderstanding of the nature of consciousness and physical reality.
Bottom line: reality begins and ends with the observer. "We are participators," Wheeler said "in bringing about something of the universe in the distant past."
The fear of death is a universal concern, yet once we abandon the random, physical-centered cosmos and start to see things biocentrically, the verisimilitude of a finite life loosens its grip.
It has been said that all false art, all vain wisdom, lasts its time but finally destroys itself. This time may have come for Einstein now, a hundred years after he published his relativity theory.
A full understanding of life can't be found only by looking at cells and molecules. Conversely, physical existence can't be divorced from the life and structures that coordinate sense perception and experience.
We're trapped in an outdated paradigm. A few more equations, we're told, and we'll know it all -- any day now. But we all intuitively know there's more to existence than our science books grant.
Stephen Hawking has stated that he believes aliens exist. But where are they all anyhow? And if they're traveling, will we be the next species to follow them into the unknown?
The goal of life is life. Every impulse and thought is a device developed toward that end. Even poetry and art reflect our humanity and are impelled by instincts -- fear and powerlessness, association and love.
Darwin's theory of evolution is an enormous over-simplification. It's simple enough to teach to children between recess and lunch. But it fails to capture the driving force and what's really going on.
Religious fervor has dwindled of late because religions have failed to keep pace with human knowledge. For faith to thrive, our concepts of God must adapt to our evolving scientific knowledge.
The 'Who am I' feeling is just a 20-watt fountain of energy operating in the brain. But this energy doesn't go away at death. One of the axioms of science is that energy never dies; it can't be created or destroyed.
