“materialists who dominate science have it backwards. They preach what he calls “upward causation””

“works on the exact opposite principle, which he refers to as “downward causation.” He says that “consciousness is the ground of all being” and it is from the consciousness of God that everything comes.”


A simple example of this is

E=mc^2

Upward causation, using the material m to determine energy.

But downward causation would have material m coming from the energy,
conscious. We have..

m=E/c^2

Einstein himself supported many quantum ideas.

Many scientists argue that matter is compressed energy. What if energy is compressed consciousness?

It’s not that matter comes from energy. It’s that it all comes from consciousness.
