PAUL VON WARD  

COSMOLOGIST and INDEPENDENT SCHOLAR

Creator of an interdisciplinary cosmology that enables systematic re-examination of conventional religious, scientific, and philosphical assumptions about the nature of reality.

Facilitating the expansion of consciousness through natural spirituality in a self-learning universe.

This site deals with the basic questions asked by all beings as they become consciously aware of their own existence:              

1. Where did I come from?
2. What am I doing here?
3. What is the nature of reality beyond my experience?
4. Do other conscious beings exist?
5. What is my relationship to them?
6. How and why does the universe work as it does?
7. What is its - and my - future?

DO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS INTEREST YOU?

As a cultural historian, psychologist, ordained minister, and interdisciplinary researcher, Paul Von Ward writes books and articles that integrate several academic fields. He points out that a cosmology based only on a single discipline (whether physics, astronomy, biology, mathematics, evolutionary theory, or metaphysics) does not cover all areas of the human experience of the universe. Thus, most cosmologies leave out much of what - and who - we really are.

HOW MUCH DO WE REALLY KNOW?

Paul believes any credible attempt to develop a cosmology fully integrating the perspectives of science and religion must take into account all aspects of human knowledge and all ways of knowing - all epistemologies. Consequently, he works systematically with quantum theory, subtle energies, biological evolution, genetics, creationism, religion, spirituality, history, archaeology and anthropology, consciousness studies, mind-body interactions, UFO/ET studies, frontier and esoteric science, and other areas of research to synthesize the emerging new human story.

Paul focuses on the self-learning nature of the universe and how humans fit into the noumenal field of consciousness both accessed and shaped by all conscious beings. Paul's books, articles, and this site serve the researcher and layperson alike in:

• Developing a more accurate story of humanity's place in the universe.
• Becoming more aware of the true human potential.
• Learning how humans interact with the conscious universe.
• Understanding the personal and social implications of new discoveries.
