COSMOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY AND PHYSICS -ALEXIS KARPOUZOS

The universe is not a world of separate things and events but is a cosmos that is connected, coherent, and bears a profound resemblance to the visions held in the earliest spiritual traditions in which the physical world and spiritual experience were both aspects of the same reality and man and the universe were one. The findings that justify this new vision of the underlying logic of the universe come from almost all of the empirical sciences: physics, cosmology, the life sciences, and consciousness research. They explain how interactions lead to interconnections that produce instantaneous and multifaceted coherence–what happens to one part also happens to the other parts, and hence to the system as a whole. The sense of sacred oneness experienced by our ancestors that was displaced by the unyielding material presumptions of modern science can be restored, and humanity can once again feel at home in the universe.

a behavior of the biological body towards its growing up. But, by eidetic reductions,<br />

we can draw other conclusions.<br />

1) The expansion of the universe, namely the increase of its entropy, is not<br />

connected with the increase of the entropy of the material factor of human existence.<br />

This happens because growing up takes place due to a decrease in space - time –<br />

and consequently in the entropy of the material body, while in the case of the<br />

universe, the expansion takes place due to an increase of its space. So, poetically<br />

speaking, while in the sky there is an increase of the entropy, on Earth we can see a<br />

decrease of it, at least on the part in which the living bodies are concerned. As a<br />

matter of fact, the increase of the entropy in the expansion of the cosmic space -<br />

time is inversely proportional to the entropy on the earthly scale of space - time.<br />

2) This consequents directly (and indirectly) to the independent behavior of the<br />

human brain, which –always in an earthly scale of space - time –slightly increases its<br />

entropy, even though the whole material body tends towards disorder. So, the brain<br />

is driven, through the increase of the energy of the rest of the biological body, to the<br />

creation of more and more information. It has to be seen that the entropy, namely the<br />

consumption of energy is itself inversely proportional to the information inside the<br />

earthly space - time: higher entropy, lower information and vice versa.<br />

3) Well, it seems, that the brain, as a piece of information, is a part of the cosmic<br />

space, while as energy, it takes part in the increase of the entropy that is taking<br />

place in the earthly space - time. Maybe, in this way, harmonizing the earthy with the<br />

heavenly, the phenomenon of life is adjusted catalytically.<br />

4) Finally, if the above indeed takes place, the participation of consciousness (in its<br />

broad meaning) in the expansion of the cosmic space, which as analyzed here is<br />

nothing else than the fluctuation of space - time from the illusion of time, i.e. the<br />

visible universe, towards the truth of timeless time, namely the invisible universe<br />
