The Beginning of Fearlessness: Quantum Prodigal Son

Brought up in fundamentalist Christianity, Lee & Steven Hager spent over twenty years as dedicated Christian teachers. Although their service to others was the most gratifying aspect of their lives, other important parts of the puzzle were missing. They were disappointed that their faith had not resulted in the deep and sustaining peace and joy they believed it should, and it failed to offer satisfying answers to their questions about Ultimate Reality. Eventually their continued questioning resulted in excommunication. They persisted in their search for several years, but kept finding the same disappointing answers. Frustrated by severe illnesses (Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus and brain surgery), family and financial problems, and their seeming failure to find God, they made a suicide pact. Before carrying it out, they prayed one last time, but this prayer, and the result, was very different than anything they had experienced before.

Instead of asking for what they wanted, they laid aside all their personal preferences and preconceived ideas. For the first time, they were willing to accept any message they received as long as it resulted in a connection with Source. The answer they got came from a most unlikely source: quantum physics. They suddenly realized that science and spirituality create a powerful synergy that can transform our lives. They discovered firsthand that the misery and fear we each experience is the direct result of our misperception of the universe and our place in it. When we replace our misperceptions, fear is replaced with joy.

Through the ages, spiritual sages have approached the Divine directly. Most of us have been taught that we must go through saviors, masters, sages or gurus if we want to understand the universe and our place in it. But this idea is incorrect. As Buddha said, “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.” The Divine wants to be known, and can be known, directly, and personally, by each and every one of us. How can this be done? The gnostic writer of The Dialogue of the Savior explained, “Light the lamp within you…knock on yourself as upon a door and walk upon yourself as on a straight road.” Join us as we look at the writings of the world’s greatest spiritual sages and the surprising revelations of quantum physics that sheds new light on their words. Discover for yourself that you are your own master.
