I found this book easy to read and comprehend. It provided significant levels of confirmation of my maturing Christian beliefs, which have altered drastically over the past decade as a result of extensive reading and an understanding of emerging science. I would like to affirm Savage’s thesis of ongoing creation for which we share responsibility. I also agree that the mind is bigger than the brain and draws on morphic resonance and divine inspiration.
I find consciousness a fascinating topic and thank Les Savage for his contribution to my understanding of it. I am especially interested in the progression of worldviews that can be adopted, in simplest terms, from egocentric to ethnocentric to world centric to cosmo centric. Most of mankind is stuck in the first two stages. One writer has suggested that we only need 3.5% of the population to shift in order to develop sufficient momentum for a new consciousness paradigm to emerge. I live in hope. This book certainly helps with that objective.
As an aside, the author, Les Savage is part of the St Lucia Spirituality community.
FAQs: Consciousness and Creation: Discover a Pathway into the Mystery of God’s Quantum Universe by Leslie N Savage
What does it mean to speak of God’s quantum universe?
It highlights a universe alive with connection and unpredictability, echoing quantum science. Instead of a distant ruler, God is seen as present in every particle and relationship. This invites us to view creation as sacred energy rather than static matter. (Source: A St Lucia Spirituality perspective)
How is consciousness linked to creation in spirituality?
Consciousness is more than thought - it is awareness that shapes reality. Neuroscience shows meditation alters brain pathways tied to awareness and compassion (Harvard Medical School, 2018). Spiritually, this means the way we focus our attention becomes a creative act aligned with divine presence. (Source: Harvard Medical School, 2018)
Can science and spirituality work together in understanding the universe?
Yes. While 59% of U.S. adults still see science and religion in conflict, a growing movement views them as complementary (Pew Research Center, 2021). Science explains how things work, while spirituality asks what they mean - and both point to mystery. (Source: Pew Research Center, 2021)
What does “quantum spirituality” look like in daily life?
It’s living with the awareness that everything is connected. Small acts - like gratitude, mindful consumption, or compassion - ripple outward into the wider world. Studies show interconnected worldviews improve wellbeing and community bonds (Journal of Positive Psychology, 2019). (Source: Journal of Positive Psychology, 2019)
How can seekers explore the link between consciousness, creation, and God?
Engage practices that open awareness: contemplative prayer, awe in nature, or dialogue with thinkers like Teilhard de Chardin and Ilia Delio. Research shows awe increases compassion and prosocial behaviour (Greater Good Science Center, 2020). These practices make the mystery tangible. (Source: Greater Good Science Center, 2020)

About the Author - John Scoble
John's journey began in the heart of a traditional Roman Catholic family in Sydney, where he was raised with steadfast faith and reverence. Now residing in the serene surroundings of St Lucia, Brisbane, alongside his beloved wife, John finds solace and inspiration in the tranquil rhythms of life. With four adult children and a cherished grandchild also calling Brisbane home, John's family is his anchor, providing love, support, and a sense of belonging.
While spirituality has always been a cornerstone of his life, it was three transformative events in 2012, including a sacred pilgrimage to the Holy Lands, that ignited a profound shift in John's spiritual trajectory. Embracing retirement as an opportunity for deeper exploration, John immersed himself in extensive reading and soulful reflection.
Over the course of a decade, this journey of self-discovery has led John to reevaluate and transcend many of his traditional beliefs, embracing instead the timeless wisdom and cosmic perspective inherent in Christianity. Influenced by luminaries such as St. Francis of Assisi, St. Teresa of Avila, and Richard Rohr, John's spiritual evolution has been marked by a deepening resonance with the essential truths of his faith and a profound connection to the divine unfolding within and around him.
