About the Author

INTRODUCTION

In 1905, Albert Einstein brought the world the theory of relativity, which forever changed the way we understand the universe. Not just a brilliant scientist, Einstein was also a tireless activist for world peace. His legacy lives on years after his passing: 2005 was dedicated The Year of Physics by the United Nations as a tribute to the 100-year anniversary of his miracle year that included E=MC²; The Albert Einstein Institute, founded in 1983, is dedicated to advancing the study and use of strategic nonviolent action in conflicts throughout the world.

The great challenge that Einstein faced in both the scientific and global arenas was finding a unified field theory, which, to this day, has not completely been accomplished. The basic problem is that, in the microcosm, physics appear to react and respond differently than in the macrocosm. So, too, with world peace: Einstein could find small microcosms that supported peace, but he could not understand how to bring unity to the macrocosm of many nations with varied beliefs and world views.

One hundred and thirteen years after Einstein’s discovery of relativity, the planet Earth has never been more armed and dangerous. With the mass proliferation of nuclear weapons, environmental disasters destroying the water and resources we need to survive, and people being driven by hatred against each other, we are literally rigged for explosion like a suicide bomber. One wrong move on the part of a government or rogue terrorist group could literally destroy life as we know it.

Einstein saw this possibility and before his death in 1955, he penned a paper with his friend and colleague Bertrand Russell called the Russell-Einstein Manifesto. This paper was presented in London three months after his death and signed by prominent members of the scientific community. It foretold of possibilities of a violent and dangerous world much like the one we live in today. Einstein and Russell issued a sobering warning and included the following resolution:

We invite this Congress, and through it the scientists of the world and the general public, to subscribe to the following resolution: In view of the fact that in any future world war, nuclear weapons will certainly be employed, and that such weapons threaten the continued existence of mankind, we urge the governments of the world to realize, and to acknowledge publicly, that their purpose cannot be furthered by a world war, and we urge them, consequently, to find peaceful means for the settlement of all matters of dispute between them.

Imagining Einstein is a series of essays based on a premise of what ifs: What if there really is an Afterlife? What if, in that Afterlife, Einstein discovers the answers to the questions that so plagued him in life? What if we could somehow communicate with him? What would he say? What could he tell us to advance science, but more importantly, bring peace to our world before it’s too late?

Einstein once said that imagination is more important than knowledge. This book is the product of my imagination as well as extensive research into the mysterious world of quantum physics and string theory. I suppose we should call it science fiction. I closed my eyes and imagined I was talking to Einstein. I saw him sitting in front of me, looking much like he did in 1904, before his miracle year: young, wide eyed, without pretense, just an ordinary man imagining extraordinary things. From his unique position reporting directly from the space between the molecules, his speculations about the nature of Afterlife, the manifestation of matter, a unified field theory, and world peace present a quantum view of consciousness and provide answers on how to attain global peace that begins within each individual.

However you classify this work, it is my hope that it can create an awareness and dialogue around both science and peace, and inspire individuals to look at their lives in a new way. Let Imagining Einstein spark your own imagination to ponder these issues. Allow it inspire you to find new solutions to old problems by looking deeply into your own life. Use it to expand your awareness to include the infinite possibilities that exist within your power that you might not be able to see just yet. Let it guide you to become the change.

I believe that the path to peace starts within each individual. If we wish to see our beautiful Earth live on, we must find creative solutions that will ensure a place for our children’s children to live in the truth of unity. We cannot find these solutions from the same mind set as we created the problems. Our minds must expand to survive. If this book can spark even a glimmer of movement towards that expansion within you, then its purpose will be served.

THE NATURE OF AFTERLIFE

It is not unusual for those who have passed into Afterlife to communicate with those who remain focused on the physical world. This isn’t hard to understand if you consider that, at this very moment, a part of your energy, even as you’re experiencing physical life, exists in Afterlife and is subject to the laws of Afterlife, as I am now. But because your physical existence is dependent on being focused so intently on physical reality, you convince yourself that this other part of you doesn’t exist, merely because you are not conscious of it yet.

Those of us on the other side experience things quite differently. We see ourselves as just like you, beings of energy, but we have merely lost our focus on ordinary matter. This does not mean that the world of matter does not exist for us. We just experience it in a different way: your hard reality is like a dream to us, and your dreams and imagination are the interface where we meet and work.

Consider this: only about 5% of the Universe is made up of what is called ordinary matter. That is the stuff of the hard objects: your body, the table, the planets, the stars, the galaxies, etc. That leaves approximately 95% of the Universe unaccounted for. In my day we called it ether. Today’s scientists call it dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter has no light within it; it can only be detected by its gravitational waves. This is the matter of Afterlife and the energy of consciousness.

THE MATHEMATICS OF KARMA

Your physical body is indeed your temple, where during the course of a lifetime knowledge of your empirical experiences compiles in your cells as photons of information. These photons are the quantum of the electromagnetic energy of your consciousness. They contain all the if P then Qs of what took place in your life.

Every decision that you make during the course of your lifetime has a math. When you decide to turn right instead of left, say yes instead of no, sit still instead of move forward, you create a living mathematics, a
