The most fundamental insight, however, was the proof that we are all connected with each other and with the world through the basic framework of our existence (=zero point field). It had been proved by scientific experiments that there can be something like a life force flowing through our universe, which has been variously called collective consciousness or, in the language of theologies, the Holy Spirit. There was now a plausible explanation for all that mankind had believed in for centuries without having solid evidence or adequate proof, from the efficacy of alternative cures or even prayers, to life after death.
