Quantum Prodigal Son: Revisiting Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son from the Perspective of Quantum Mechanics

by Lee Hager, Steven Hager

The emerging quantum model presents a compelling picture of the structure and operation of the universe that is startlingly different, and often at odds with the image presented by Western theology. As quantum and demonstrdiscoveries move us into the most dynamic, and inevitable, paradigm shift experienced by humanity, we cannot avoid asking if spiritual seekers will feel obliged to abandon the wisdom of Jesus? Or, is it possible that Jesus' words can be understood more completely in light of these discoveries? Can quantum physics tell us anything new about Jesus or shed light on what he was really trying to teach his followers. Can it aid us in answering the age old questions of who and what we, God and the universe actually are? Can it give us a new understanding of our purpose in life? Quantum Prodigal Son revisits Jesus' beloved "Parable of the Prodigal Son" from the perspective of quantum physics, Gnostic gospels and the Bible. Written in a straightforward manner that requires no previous scientific or religious knowledge, Quantum Prodigal Son invites you to meet the Jesus you may have never known existed, a Jesus who understood, and applied, the principles of quantum mechanics in his life and teachings and demonstrates how you can do the same.

About the author

Lee and Steven Hager are the authors of The Beginning of Fearlessness: Quantum Prodigal Son, The Gospel of Thomas: Where Science Meets Spirituality, Fearless Spirituality: What Sages Knew and Science Discovered and Religious or Spiritual: How the Difference Can Affect Your Happiness.
Since childhood, Lee and Steven were determined to know Ultimate Reality. They spent over 25 years as dedicated Christian teachers, but never felt directly connected to Source. Their many questions eventually led to excommunication and a renewed determination to find God. They persisted in their search for several years, but kept finding the same disappointing answers. Frustrated by severe chronic illnesses, family and financial problems, and their seeming failure to find God, they made a suicide pact. Before carrying it out, they prayed one last time, but this prayer, and the result, was very different than anything they had experienced before.
Instead of asking for what they wanted, they laid aside all their personal preferences and preconceived ideas. For the first time, they were willing to accept any message they received as long as it resulted in a connection with Source. The answer they received came from a combination of very unlikely sources: quantum physics and the gnostic gospels. They suddenly realized that science and spirituality create a powerful synergy that can transform our lives and wake us to the realization that we can never be disconnected from Source.
