Beast, an attractor pattern is an element of chaos theory / quantum physics. Dr. David Hawkins, who co-authored the Nobel Prize-winning work Orthomolecular Psychiatry" with Linus Pauling in the 1970's, is considered by many to be a pioneer in bridging the gap between Science and Spirituality ...

David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D ~~~
Has overwhelmingly demonstrated how the cold light of science has finally confirmed what mystics and saints have claimed for centuries about the self, God, and the very nature of reality ... In "Power vs. Force", Dr. David Hawkins encompasses particle physics, nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and his own discoveries about the nature and accessibility of truth.

Each "level" of Dr Hawkins' groundbreaking Map of Consciousness is a positive or negative attractor field, each with a characteristic set of perspectives, limits and potentialities. The levels below 200 on his logarithmic scale are negative and destructive of life. Above 200 are levels increasingly positive, life-affirming and rooted in spiritual Truth.

And you're absolutely right, folks ... it matters not which religion you may or may not adhere to. In spite of ongoing human (mis)understandings, spirituality and religion are NOT synonymous!
