During times of struggle individuals often ask, why? Expecting a response, people turn to God for answers, as they have for eons. Then as the situation unfolds God's presence or lack of it is felt. What is the connection? What is God's role in Man's interactions? Both religious zealots and skeptics use faith to explain social discourse but Man's interactions are based upon a science that was started 13-14 billion years ago. The science has evolved as Man has evolved and explains Man's place in the cosmos. The secret to the meaning of life is found in the most complex instrument ever constructed, the brain. This book attempts to bring science and religion closer, giving credence to the believer and cynic. God created the universe and all things in it, including Man. Man continues to evolve trying to rejoin with God. However, this goal of unification creates strife within the primitive and cognitive being, producing emotions. Man must learn to use his brain to overcome all obstacles, including unification with God. Harmony is synchronization, the act of working together, between men and within the man. Humans will change the world by being good, which is learning to perform constructive interference. We must then teach this simple yet difficult concept to our children while simultaneously inspiring other adults to do the same. Goodness can instantly triumph over evil. Demonstrating to evil it's own sins and the goodness in the one it wants to hurt may be necessary in the interaction however, the foremost and most difficult duty is to reveal the deep family connection between the two. Harmony explains what exploded in the Big Bang, what gave rise to gravity, the development of evolution and the birth of Man. It explains when the fetus acquires the soul and thus when life starts. The brain and mind constantly wrestle for harmonious existence the result of which is crime, terrorism and power. These can be explained and the result is not just knowledge but unification. Mans life is complex; it is not only based upon beliefs but upon facts. Not only does this book make an effort to justify the above it also attempts to give light to time-travel, give reasons for cancer and clarity to thought. This treatise lays a foundation for education and social harmony through the relationship that is the unique human nervous system. LIFE'S MEANING: THE UNIFICATION OF GOD, MATTER, MAN, MIND, AND SOCIETY A Treatise on the Science of Religion

A Postmodern Metatheory of Knowledge As A System is about the age-old question, "what do we know and how do we know it is the truth"? The original intention of the text was to be a summary of the position of Western philosophy on the question, but it soon became clear that postmodern knowledge is a much more complicated subject than philosophy by itself can answer. To form even a superficial and provisional theory of knowledge, in addition to philosophical concepts one has to consider neurophysiological realities including, vision, language and how the brain manipulates data. In addition, sociological, anthropological and psychological issues that impact on the ways we manipulate knowledge needs to be considered. The outcome is a multifaceted and multidimensional model consisting of the sense data that we experience as well as the ways that we construct and interpret the world we live in symbolically. And such a metatheory shows that ultimately it becomes impossible to pass judgement on the truth without knowledge of the context within which it exists and objective truth is merely imagination. This position is decidedly postmodern, but the dilemma of postmodernity is that if anything goes and there is no objective truth, the rich fabric of life becomes dull and pessimistic. One possible escape from this double bind is to include knowledge of the spiritual dimension, which traditionally is excluded from the discourse and that transcends many existing notions of how and what we know. If the legitimacy of this argument is granted, one ends up not only with a much richer canvas, but also a situation where the traditional phenomenal and symbolic begins to touch and intermingle.
