Press Release Body:
Dear Reader:
Lure that befell Faust in Goethe\'s story is the stumbling block not just for individuals but the whole society of our time. Men in their pursuit of happiness are seeking wealth and prosperity as a solution to such quest. If not by climbing the social ladder then at least buying lottery tickets in the hope to gain wealth. And equally we are witnesses of ruthless regimes gaining the support of a nation on the promise of abundance and power. In not so distant past, fanatical crowds were under full control of the Nazi and communist regime leaders. It appears as if the objective of wealth is gaining even more appeal at the present time. Culture of consumerism shaped by public media heightens the idea of happiness. Notions of beauty, success, social standing, control, and glory are presented in connection with commercials that include articles of everyday use. With a similar intention are directed various tabloids, newscasts and biography stories. Irrespective of Faust\'s fate, with certainty can be claimed that wealth can buy power, control and social standing but hardly happiness, love and peace. On the contrary, effort for such goal brings about stressful competitiveness, paranoid fear of loosing amassed wealth and insecurity. In a similar context, Buddha asserts that human suffering is the result of the desire and craving for gratification. The futile hunt for temporal happiness is overshadowing the necessity for spiritual growth and the aim at higher principles of life.
It appears as if the busy rush of everyday business finds no space for spiritual effort. In place of the question, how successful shall we become, the query what is our purpose and destination should be answered first. Against all odds and objections, love, understanding, compassion, wisdom and peace of mind should become the cornerstone of our behavior and relation to other persons. Pursuit of perfection against the prosperity shall become the measure of our humanity. Spirituality differentiates humans from lower forms of life. Spirituality is not a quality that is portrayed as a force of mind causing telekinetic processes, psychic visions or acts of mind boggling events. It is an effort to conform our mind to a higher state of understanding often attributed to God. The book \"Learning About the Reality of God\" explains in detail challenges of the human mind on the ground of natural laws that govern our world. Contrasted in here is the material world with the world of the spirit. The undeniable proof of the presence of an intelligent force is explained in findings of natural sciences as well as the disciplines of philosophy. From the dawn of history, God was revered either as a fearsome power or an embodiment of perfection and wisdom. God was also perceived as an entity with an incomprehensible essence. The publication \"\'Learning About the Reality of God\" attempts to take a glimpse at the true nature of God without swaying to any religious affiliation. In here an irrefutable proof is given even to agnostics that life forms are not a result of a spontaneous process but a result of an immense intelligent input. Lifeless substances do not contain any intelligence and as such are unable to organize into any life form. Synthesis of organic matter as well as its organizing into a life form presupposes an external intelligent intervention. If God is recognized as the only available source of such immense intelligence, then evolution of our universe and life on earth required a timely intervention of a timeless entity. That would presume an unimaginable patience and love. And love is the quality that was endowed to the human mind. It shall be the highest form of our spiritual manifestation. It may become the only way to avert degradation of life on our planet. The bequest of love was imparted by prophets and spiritual leaders and is propagated to this day by numerous personalities.
The publication is not a defense of the universe\'s creative understanding but a detailed account of natural laws that in a remarkable way support or contradict our existence. As the indivisible presence of space, time, energy and matter define the physical properties of our universe, so do the natural laws of entropy and chaos dynamics shape our life and history. They are the cause of events that are the unavoidable consequence of our material reality. References to holy texts and scriptures draw near the character of God and His will. Particular attention attracts the personality of Jesus and his teaching. Jesus\' mission and exemplary life is converging to the perfection of God\'s existence. In admirable declarations of Jesus, the publication seeks honest answers to reader\'s pressing metaphysical questions without the clutter of dogmatic teachings. The book does not offer any advice on the way of spiritual life and its content shall be regarded as a message and a summary of facts. Sincerely Theodor Bardas
