Lee Hager and her husband Steven Hager are the authors of The Beginning of Fearlessness: Quantum Prodigal Son, a spiritual quest and scientific adventure based on Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son, quantum physics and the gnostic gospels.
Since childhood, Lee and Steven were determined to know Ultimate Reality. They spent over 25 years as dedicated Christian teachers, but never felt directly connected to Source. Their many questions eventually led to excommunication and a renewed determination to find God. They persisted in their search for several years, but kept finding the same disappointing answers. Frustrated by severe chronic illnesses, family and financial problems, and their seeming failure to find God, they made a suicide pact. Before carrying it out, they prayed one last time, but this prayer, and the result, was very different than anything they had experienced before.
Instead of asking for what they wanted, they laid aside all their personal preferences and preconceived ideas. For the first time, they were willing to accept any message they received as long as it resulted in a connection with Source. The answer they received came from a combination of very unlikely sources: quantum physics and the gnostic gospels. They suddenly realized that science and spirituality create a powerful synergy that can transform our lives and wake us to the realization that we can never be disconnected from Source.

We often think of a transition as ‘waking up,' from a previous state, but Jesus' gnostic followers thought of spiritual awakening in a more literal way. Gnostic Christians weren't talking about waking up from the sleep experienced by the body. However, they were talking about waking up from a sleep even more profound, a sleep that has produced a terrifying nightmare.
Self-help, religious and spiritual books regularly promote the value of forgiveness. The arguments they make appear to be very reasonable, but there are a few surprising drawbacks to forgiveness.
Since no authentic eyewitness accounts of Jesus' life and teachings exist, gnostic teachings are as valid as those found it the New Testament. It makes sense for Christians to gather and compare information about both groups. The following list is by no means comprehensive and is intended to present a generalized understanding of some of the main issues important to each group of early Christians
Humans have always been curious about life and resistant to the idea that our short existence on the earth is the only life we have. But does the concept of a soul ensure immortal life? How do religious and philosophical ideas about the soul compare with what we can learn from quantum research?
When setting out on a quest of spiritual discovery, few people take the time to ask themselves what a spiritual master actually is. Without knowing the answer, we can be side-tracked and become discouraged. Once you understand what a master is, you will be able to decide whether or not you need one and will know how to avoid the pitfalls.
We need to acquire some understanding of enlightenment and spiritual awakening or we won't know where we're going or if we've arrived. Although the two terms sound similar, there are subtle differences between them that are worth understanding.
Throughout history humans have wondered if the world would end. Myths from around the globe contain the theme of world destruction, but the devastation is often seen as a cyclical cleansing followed by restoration. With the development of nuclear weapons and the upsurge in significant global ecological, economic, population, poverty, hunger and political problems, we may well wonder if the literal earth itself can survive.
Few things are mentioned in connection with the Divine as often as love and light. Light has several meanings in spiritual teachings, but science has recently contributed information that can take our understanding even further.
When we build a house, its foundation determines whether or not the building will stand. Duality is the flawed foundation of our world, and no matter how carefully we build on it, it will continually cause problems. We can't fix it, but we can escape it.
The importance of attaining higher consciousness is regularly mentioned in connection with spiritual awakening and growth, but there's been very little consensus about what it actually is. We can look to spiritual sages for understanding, but there's another source that can clarify their words.
