OverviewIs there more to life than just a simple, biological existence? Do we have a greater purpose? Is there a God? What happens when we die? Why is there pain and suffering? Collectively, this is known as the 'ultimate question.' One answer is that the universe was created by a supernatural God, for reasons only He knows. Owing our existence to this God, our purpose would be to worship Him. This view includes the belief that there is an immortal soul that continues after death. This afterlife is either one of a blissful existence in Heaven or one of perpetual torture in Hell. Which place awaits us depends on how well we devote ourselves to worshiping God. Another possibility is that there is no God, no supernatural force. Under this concept, everything can be explained through biology and science. Thus, there is no life after death. Naturally, this view is at odds with the supernatural one. If everything can be explained through science, then there is no higher purpose to our lives or the universe. We are born. We live for a while. Then we die. Over fifty years ago, as a young boy, I wanted to know if my life was driven by biology or spiritual purpose. I wanted to know if my life was worth living. As soon as I asked the question, I knew that I wouldn't be satisfied with a choice between the opposing views. Being of two minds, one logical and rational and one spiritual, I knew that I was seeking more than a simple choice between the two. I felt compelled to begin a quest to discover if there was a key to understanding the universe that reconciled both points of view. I wanted to find a way to unify them into a comprehensive, rational, yet spiritual understanding of everything. What I discovered, through mysticism, serendipity and research, changed everything that I had believed in. I came to realize that the key to unifying both views was an understanding that there were a few, fundamental principles that literally made up the fabric of the universe. They were rooted in divine origin, yet satisfied scientific criteria. By understanding these rules, you could understand everything from both points of view. The result of my quest was not what I had wanted or expected. In the end, I discovered something so beautiful, so profound and so exquisite, that I knew it was the truth. My life had been worth living.
