“How exactly does one mold the pantheon of Eastern and Western theological and philosophical thought into a coherent and unified world view? For those of you who’ve stayed up at night pondering this question (I know I have), Robert Lewis, in his ambitious work Gaj: The End of Religion, provides an unlikely unifying thread: quantum physics. Combining loose strands of thought from a myriad different eras and traditions, Lewis tries to make a case for a new kind of rational pantheism.” read more... Leslie Schachter, Ascent Magazine “Robert Lewis continues where Nietzsche left off in his exploration of The End of Religion. Not only is God dead, according to Lewis, religion as we know it has gone with it. Fortunately for everyone, there is something else, even if it’s not God or Allah or Jehovah. GAJ is an acronym for God Allah Jehovah, a term used by Lewis to unite the three monotheistic religions.” read more... |

Gaj on the new physics: “We can rationally conjecture that matter does not emerge out of nothing but has always been and that mind is its inherent property ... [giving us] a picture of the universe as a force that evolves from ‘the One’ into‘the many ’... as a means of affording itself contexts for self-experience.” |
