Description

This course explores the possibilities and opportunities arising from the intersections of science and spirituality. The content is produced as a series of short lectures, averaging 8 to 12 minutes in length. The first three lectures can be viewed free of charge. The course comprises 10 sections and 30 lectures, and has a total duration of 4.5 hours.

“If we see Light as the fundamental element of everything in the universe, then understanding, collaboration, mutuality, respect, and universal love may be a more reasonable possibility.” – Dr. Robert "Bart" Barthelemy

The creation of this course was motivated by Dr. Barthelemy's lifelong observation that light plays an important role in many aspects of science, as well as by the repeated number of spiritual learnings and experiences which involve Light that he has had in recent years. Because of this, Dr. Barthelemy began to explore the significance of light in both disciplines. The result of this investigation led to the concept of GodLight, the Light of God, that is foundational to both science and spirituality.

Science is the study of the nature and behavior of natural things and the knowledge that we obtain about them. Most students of this course will likely have a general knowledge of science and how our world works. The fundamental concepts in science are learned during our early education and greatly enhanced by the tremendous amount of information that is available today on the internet and television. We have more scientific knowledge today than any generation that has lived before us. Some scientists have more specific knowledge in certain areas of science.

The following key concepts of science will be discussed in this course: The Big Bang, the expansion of the Universe, galaxies, black holes, our solar system, the planets around our Sun, the Earth, the evolution of human beings and the biological complexity of men and women.

Spirituality is the belief that there is something greater than ourselves, something more to being human than sensory experience and that the greater whole of which we are a part is cosmic or divine in nature. Most of us believe this and, while not exact, we often equate spirituality to religion. At their core, most religions agree that there is a deity call God and that human beings need to respect and love each other. There are many other specifics that separate the various religions but there are also an amazing number of commonalities.

Each lecture will look for the intersections and overlap between science and spirituality in a particular area. There is no attempt to conform science to spirituality or vice versa. The focus is to simply examine the intersections to see if they suggest possibilities for a better understanding of each area. If so, these possibilities could lead to opportunities for any of us to be more understanding, more respectful, more collaborative, and more loving. Even though there are still great mysteries remaining to be studied and understood in both science and spirituality, what we now know and believe in each of these areas is more overlapping and connectable than ever before.

As you listen to each lecture, ponder the marvels and mysteries of both science and spirituality. Let your mind and your imagination be open to possibilities. In an attempt to categorize and simplify difficult concepts, the words used by each discipline are often the product of reductionism. I urge you to think as holistically as possible in order to get beyond the limitations and compartmentalizations that result from man-made linguistics and descriptions. For centuries, human beings have generally separated these two disciplines and often struggled with the conflicts between science and spirituality. Both science and spirituality are enormous subjects so the potential for overlap is high. This course is an invitation to look at the commonalities and confluence of these two areas so that there is more agreement than separation, more harmony than conflict, more understanding than argument. Hopefully, so that the future could be better than the past.
