Quantum Theology
|
Reclaiming our spiritual identity is not a case of becoming religious again, going to church on Sunday, following the rules and laws of a particular faith, or reading the Bible or Koran everyday. Spiritually is about enlightenment and liberation. The spiritual journey is about opening up new horizons of understanding, not by ignoring or bypassing the darkness and pain of life, but through experiencing and integrating them.
Spiritual enlightenment is above all else a journey into the mystery of belonging where all is one and the patriarchal dualism and distinctions are seen for what they are destructive controlling devices that fragment and alienate.

Shifting to quantum thinking is shifting from an individualistic to a holistic worldview.
|
- Individualism has been seen as heroic ideal and we fear destabilizing which is the result of change
- From a quantum approach we are co-responsible while the individualistic approach thrives on dualistic divisions and scapegoats i.e. women, African Americans
- Our individualistic, patriarchal culture is unable to accept vulnerability, feelings, emotions and woundedness
- Our dominant culture today is fundamentally alienating, deceptive, oppressive, and immoral
- The quantum approach invites integration of fundamental goodness and self-destructiveness
- The quantum approach seeks to confront our tendency to collude with evil rather than engage meaningfully with it
- From the quantum approach all are accountable
