New book offers answers to scientific riddles with life-affirming answers
The Unitive Field is an amazing book. It is full of color and beautiful images, but more importantly, mind-blowing concepts as large as black holes in some of its images.
Fredrick Swaroop Honig’s goal in writing this book is to combine the science of physics with the science of consciousness. Considering Honig is related to groundbreaking scientist Lise Meitner, and himself is an ordained monk in the Holy Order of Sannyas, a minister of Integral Yoga, and the keeper of a botanical garden and bird sanctuary on Maui, that makes him in such a surprising but definitely fascinating non-lens. Honig achieves that goal with great simplicity in this short 140-page book that will leave you in awe and wanting to reread it to make sure you don’t miss a thing.
The book is organized into twelve main chapters, each with a fundamental question that remains unanswered in the current standard model of physics. Honig then provides insightful answers to these questions. While I am not a scientist, I found the answers fascinating and comforting. I have read books on quantum physics that have led me to believe in the scientific basis for ideas like the Law of Attraction; therefore, this book resonated with my spiritual side and I discovered that the science in these pages validated many of my own beliefs about life, the Universe, and our reason for being on this planet.
Before presenting his twelve fundamental questions, Honig dedicates a few pages to discussing how the idea of the unitive field is founded in science, and provides quotes from Albert Einstein, Lise Meitner, and Isaac Newton to support that claim. He points out that Einstein “spent the second half of his life searching for a theory that would explain all the laws of physics. Intuitively, he believed that all the laws of nature would be explained by a fundamental law that he called the Unified Field Theory.” Honig also notes that, like her maternal grandmother’s cousin Lise Meitner, she was encouraged to “listen to your parents, but think for yourself.”
Some of the twelve questions that Honig asks are: How many dimensions are there in the universe? What is the nature of consciousness and how did it come about? Will the universe continue to expand or will it contract back to the singularity? What factors govern the evolution of life forms in the universe? What is human consciousness and free will, and how can they align with unitive consciousness and intention?
Honig then provides answers to each question, and while each chapter is relatively short, each one is also packed with more information than I can describe in such a short review. Therefore, I will only mention a couple of points that surprised and loved me.
One was the idea of a Hreem, the power of life force and how it relates to a creature’s intention and desire to live. Honig lists different creatures on earth and the strength of their desire to exist, or more specifically, “the magnitudes of the causal intentions of the Hreem force (ci) in the evolutionary progression of life forms.” It says that “a virus has an intention to live and spread that is equivalent to .01 Hreem.” By comparison, a bird’s is 10,000 and a human’s is 1,000,000. For me, although I respect all forms of life, this explained a lot about the life expectancy of various organisms, as well as the degree of precariousness of their existence.
However, what I appreciated the most was the positive message of the book and how it was supported by scientific and mathematical calculations. We live in a culture full of pessimism and predictions of the impending destruction of the world, but Honig looks at how the universe expands and goes through cycles of 144 billion years. He states: “According to the theory of the unitive field, only the expansive force of the big launch and the contractive gravitational force of the collective mass-energy of the universe determine this expansion rate. Therefore, the expansion rate of the universe is not increasing. primary singularity, and not an atom, not a calorie of energy, will be lost in the process. ” Furthermore, “the unitive field theory predicts that the universe will reverse its expansion within 72 billion years from the grand launch and, within the next 72 billion years, it will contract and return to its primordial singularity … This It is an eternal cycle. All nature moves in cycles; there is no one-way travel in nature. This universe will be recycled into the next universe. “
I imagine this statement means that the world can be destroyed, but even if that happens, to some extent, we are all eternal, as “a calorie of energy will not be lost in the process.”
As Honig concludes, “Truly, we are one. There is no division between any of us, or between us, and the unitive field itself. There is only one unitive field of consciousness, and we are all parts of that field, and at the same time, one with the field itself. Just as a wave is one with the ocean, at the same time, it is a wave. So we are one with the field itself, even if we have a localized consciousness. “
There is much more I can say about this book. I’ll let the scientists determine its accuracy. What I know from reading it is ultimately what I always knew: that our lives matter, that there is no death, and that our purpose on this earth, as Honig says, is “to be of service. That is the secret of the universe and of the Theory of the Unitive Field. Live to serve and you will be aligned with the causal intention of the Unitary Consciousness “.
If you read this book, I believe that you will become a better person because you are wiser. You will understand why it is okay to be nice and how closely we are connected to each other. I am grateful to Fredrick Swaroop Honig for bringing this enlightening message to our world in a way that makes the most complicated science understandable because, indeed, in all its complexity, the universe is in perfect harmony in its design.
