encounters concerns traditionally associated with a spiritual dimension.
For thousands of years people have wondered, speculated, and argued
about the origin of the universe without actually knowing anything about

to begin to peer across the gulf that separates our universe from its source
at the beginning of-or perhaps before-the Big Bang. A story is emerging
in modern cosmology that will, if it follows the pattern of earlier shifts
in cosmology, change our culture in ways no one can yet predict. It is
important to start now to speculate on the possible meanings for our time
of this emerging cosmological story. Rather than assuming that science
and spirit are separate jurisdictions, I assume that reality is one, and
that truth grows and evolves with the universe of which it speaks.
Why is this important? In a speech given in July 1994, on the state
of the world and its prospects, the Czech poet-president Vaclav Havel said
that the planet is in transition. As vastly different cultures collide,
all consistent value systems are collapsing. We cannot foresee the results.
Science, which has been the bedrock of industrial civilization for so long,
he said, "fails to connect with the most intrinsic nature of reality
and with natural human experience. It is now more a source of disintegration
and doubt than a source of integration and meaning.... We may know immeasurably
