The Nature of Reality Course
by NoR consists of clearly explained web
pages, divided into 9 modules, which present the concepts required to
understand the nature of reality in a way that can make real and
beneficial changes to your life.
THE MODULES COVER
1. OUR LIMITED PERCEPTION OF REALITY
The world that seems so solid and separate from you can be shown by
quantum physics to be a trick of the senses. The apparent
'materiality' of the world is no more 'real' than a dream image.
Incredible as these statements may sound, this first module takes
you step by step along a path that explores and explains many
astounding concepts, such as:
- Is there such a thing as a solid object?
- What is a 'thought' made of?
- Is there actually an 'out there' out there?
2. HOW BELIEFS AFFECT OUR LIFE
Generally, people think the word consciousness refers to something
that is a by-product of the brain. Therefore, you may be surprised
to learn that science has been unable to provide any convincing
evidence to support this widely held belief.
There are some beliefs about life which are so ingrained that you
may
think they are facts about life. This can cause many problems.
Understanding how beliefs affect your life will enable you to change
those that adversely affect you for more beneficial ones.
In this module you learn about the true nature of consciousness
and the creative power of 'thought'. The 'placebo effect', as used
by the medical profession, provides evidence that beliefs have
far-reaching implications that you may not have previously
considered.
3. THE TRUE NATURE OF TIME
Classical science taught that 'time' was a constant throughout the
universe. Einstein proved that 'time' is relative and therefore not
a constant.
Although experience tells you that 'time' started somewhere in
the distant 'past' and continues relentlessly through the 'present'
into the 'future', this experience can be shown by quantum physics
to be illusory. It can be shown that past, present and future exist
simultaneously; incredible as this may sound, it means you can learn
to manipulate 'time'.
This module explains how to make practical use of this new
understanding of 'time'.
4. INSIGHTS INTO REINCARNATION AND DEATH
All religious traditions are founded on the existence of two
separate realms, the 'spiritual' and the 'physical', and the
inevitability of 'death'. In addition, eastern traditions teach
about reincarnation and the law of Karma, which are dependent on a
sequential progression of time.
Quantum physics has forced a complete re-think on the concepts of
'time' and the existence of a solid and separate world.
Extrapolating the concepts from the previous 3 modules shows you
that the 'classical' view of 'physical' and 'spiritual' can no
longer be supported. However, the 'new' view is much more exciting
and liberating, particularly with regard to 'death'.
5. THE SOURCE OF ALL 'BEING'
Many people 'feel' that there is more to life than just producing
the next generation of humanity and trying to do the best they can
in their lifetime. The difficulty has been to provide 'scientific
evidence' for something that exists beyond time and space.
Physicist Alain Aspect and his colleagues were able to confirm a
'transcendent reality' beyond the apparent 'material reality' of
space-time. Could this be our true nature and have provided the
concept of 'God' found in all spiritual traditions?
This module explores the mysterious nature of this 'transcendent
reality' which is the source of all 'personal' experiences.
6. THE NATURE OF ILLNESS AND HOW TO STAY WELL
Dr. Albert Schweitzer said "Each patient carries his own doctor
inside him."
The 'placebo effect' is a medically proven phenomenon. Using the
findings of the medical profession in conjunction with the findings
of quantum physics, this module explores how 'thoughts' play a
crucial role in why people become ill.
This module provides a radically new understanding of your 'body'
that will impact on all areas of your 'health'.
Once you understand how you become 'ill', you will be able to
adopt a new and natural approach to staying 'well'.
7. THE TRUE NATURE OF DREAMS
The philosopher Lao Tzu fell asleep and dreamt he was a butterfly.
Upon wakening he asked, "Am I a man who has just been dreaming he
was a butterfly? Or a sleeping butterfly now dreaming he is a man?"
New insights into consciousness show that this quote is not as
fanciful as it might appear.
It is unfortunate that many people associate the word 'dream'
with the word 'unreal', as this way of thinking sets up barriers to
understanding states of consciousness.
This module explores the 'dream state of consciousness' in
further detail using visual analogies that you can easily relate to.
It shows how an understanding of the 'dream state of consciousness'
can be put to practical use.
8. THE TRUE NATURE OF WORLD EVENTS
Physicist John Wheeler said: "Useful as it is under everyday
circumstances to say that the world exists 'out there' independent
of us, that view can no longer be upheld."
If there is not a world existing 'out there' independent of us,
then it begs the question, "What is a world event such as an
earthquake involving thousands of people?"
The consequences of this require you to reassess everything you
thought you knew about yourself and your world and therefore what
you think of as 'world events' and 'other people'.
This modules provides you with explanations that are
unprecedented and astounding, but nonetheless supported by sound
scientific discoveries and the most ancient wisdom philosophies.
9. THE MAGICAL APPROACH TO LIVING
People have become accustomed to thinking of themselves as just
flesh and blood; that they only have logic and intellect to sort
their way through the challenges of life.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
We live in a very exciting time when science is reaching
conclusions that support many of the concepts put forward in the
ancient wisdom philosophies.
Physicist Professor Amit Goswami has stated quite clearly that
"Matter, energy and consciousness are the same thing; that
everything, including matter, exists in and is manipulated from
consciousness."
This statement revolutionizes the old ways of thinking and
heralds in a new world view.
But this new world view can only be brought into effect through a
better understanding of the nature of reality.
This final module brings together all the concepts explored and
explained in the foregoing modules. It offers you a new and
'magical' approach to living in which you are no longer a victim of
circumstance, but the active creator of your own experiences.
