Author Description

The Monad Manifesto is a call to clarity and action in response to new discoveries about the nature of consciousness and the looming confrontation between mind and machine. As scientists probe deeper into the nature of reality, they are finding that consciousness is at the root of everything. What we believed were the laws of physics and matter are really the archetypal laws of mind. The Monad is the indivisible single source of consciousness and information that created our universe. Known in science as the “Big Bang,” it is the dimensionless point or singularity from which our universe emerged over 13.8 billion years ago. That explosion of light set into motion the interplay of energy and matter that determines our reality today. In philosophy, the Monad is the single cause – acting alone – that is responsible for existence itself. For theologians, the Monad is the Word of God that created the world. Psychologists view the Monad as the root of all the archetypal thoughts and images – both conscious and unconscious – that shape our mental reality. In mathematics, the Monad is the source point – defined as zero (“0”) – from which all the numbers and geometries that describe Nature originate. Computer scientists think of the Monad as the cosmic code embedded in the matrix of creation. In simplest terms, the Monad is pure consciousness itself – the light of awareness that all of us share. Scientists are just realizing that “singularity” itself is a defining characteristic of consciousness, and each of us acts like a lesser monad creating our own little world of personal reality. If you think about it, there is always only one “you” –and that is the one who is conscious. In the words of Nobel laureate physicist Erwin Schrödinger, monadic consciousness is “a singularity phasing within all beings.” In thisbook, we explore the mysterious monadic origin of the universe and its relationship to the field of conscious awareness that we all share.
