San Francisco Bay Area, San Mateo, California......Rated as one of the TOP 1% of websites on the Web and acclaimed by colleges, universities, research institutes, science, philosophy, psychology, medical and sociological organizations as well as individuals worldwide, San Mateo resident Nelson Rau has made his "QUFD: Einstein's Legacy" website a most intriquing yet controversial place to visit on the Web (http://go.to/QUFD). Billed as a website for 5 year old "mad scientists" who will have their first Doctorate by age 10, Father Jerome (Mr. Rau's legally ordained professional name, as a researcher/scientist/theologian/author and ordained Cleric of The Ancient Order, the OA/OWB) says his works are surely readable and understandable by adults as well, no matter how much one may detest reading about science. He says he has written the equivalent of a "Science, the Mind, Humanity and the Cosmos FOR DUMMIES!" book, simple and yet comprehensively complex and complete.
Search engines and directories all over the Web list QUFD (Quantum Unitary Field Dynamics) in various categories (AskJeeves: "What is QUFD?"), reflecting its multidisciplinary content, ranging from the quantum physics of the human mind, consciousness, neurophysics, psychology, philosophy, and sociology to the cosmology of the Universe and God. And many worldwide agencies and individuals have already bestowed awards and acclaim on his QUFD website, including the University of Kansas' Department of Philosophy (http://www.cc.ukans.edu/~philos/guestbook/links.html); ErraticImpact, the Web's Philosophy Resource database (http://www.erraticimpact.com/~topics/html/philosophy_of_science.htm); Ferris State University's "ARTS: Philosophy & Religion" Resource Site (http://www.ferris.edu/htmls/connect/ARTS/philos.htm); SciSeek, the Web's Science and Nature Resource and cutting-edge-science-seeking website (http://www.sciseek.com/dir/Physics/Quantum_Mechanics/Alternative/index.shtml); KaelinWeb ESearch's "What's Cool in Science!" website, which has listed QUFD in its Kaelin's Education Awards listing (http://www.kaelinweb.net/esearch/html/sgp156.html); the Community Psychology Network, which has awarded QUFD the "Way Cool Website Award" (http://www.communitypsychology.net/); OAST, the Home and Family Education portal, listing QUFD as a top Research Site (http://www.oast.com/Home_and_Family/Education/Research/); numerous K-12 educational sites; even the United Nations Educational Scientific & Cultural Organization, UNESCO (http://www.unesco.org/education/index.shtml); the European Space Agency's Distant Suns website (http://home1.inet.tele.dk/ivory/); the Los Alamos National Laboratory's Online Database of scientific documents (http://www.lanl.gov/worldview/science/); the U.S. Department of Education's ERIC database of educational resources (available in all schools, colleges, universities and research centers); as well as individuals and other academic and professional organizations.
However, although 80-90% of QUFD's worldwide listings are congratulatory and positive, there are up to 20% of the listings that are negative in their reviews of QUFD ("What is this nonsense, but a bunch-a-crap!"). Jerome attributes these reviews to mostly people who have not taken the time to read and understand his works and those E-Zines, agencies, "anti-anything debunkers" and websites which cater to Web "surfers" and their notorious 10 second attention-span. He has installed a warning on his website, warning "surfers" of the 1500+ webpages of extremely detailed scientific content and of pages (such as the first QUFD document) which take 37 hours to read. In fact he also quotes Monsignor Nicholplaiy, of the Freedom, Independence & World Democracy (FIWD) Institute, London (OA/OWB), with which Jerome has been affiliated in the past, as saying (about QUFD):
"Truly, there is not one person who would understand (page 4) unless he/she had first read (pages 1-2-3). The subject matter must be read as a book - linearily - or the reader, if he/she were to just jump from here to there, would be totally lost! Reading this work out of context can only lead to miscomprehension."
"It sneaks up on you! One minute you're reading these simple, basic definitions, that you might think have nothing to do with anything, and then - all of a sudden - "Eureka", you've got it! The concept - the reality - of QUFD, hits you! The complexity, the thoroughness, the all-encompassing simplicity - and the Truth - that this must be so! That these are Eternal Truths, which are not only scientific, but Universal/Cosmic as well!"
Here are some of the awards and accolades Jerome has received or are to be found in the Directories on the Web:

Accolades:
Quoting a QUFD Reader:
"WOW! The most Christian website on the Net is totally non-religious, but is instead SCIENTIFIC!"
And another Email comment, from St. Paul, Minnesota this time (emphasis added):
"Hooray and Congratulations! Finally a BOOK on the Web, or at least a website that can be read as a book, instead of all that helter-skelter jumping-around link-addicted foolishness, that prevents anyone from learning anything! And I love it that your pages can actually be read AS THEY ARE LOADING, no matter how large a page is.
Incidentally, you say your first page [of the Main QUFD document, a page that is almost 300 Kb in size] takes 37 hours to read. Well, you must be a bit slow because I did it in 35 hours and I've already put in almost 3000 hours on QUFD. I'm going to read every one of those 1500+ webpages!
And I tell you, never having had an interest in science, QUFD is opening my eyes. It's not dull and boring, as I imagined science to be, but I can actually relate just about everything you talk about to something in my life. And you tell it like it is, not pulling any punches or using exotic scientific terminology that only an expert can understand, in explaining exactly what makes the world, the universe and mankind tick and what reality is! I've learned more about myself, others and the world, than I ever knew before, just by taking your advice and LOOKING WITHIN! I now know WHO and WHAT I am and what I and all the rest of us have got to do to change and end this crazy rat-race we are running. Well, I'm sure gonna try! Wish me luck, Jerome.
And I hope that we can do it soon, so that all of our kids who read QUFD will grow up having the chance to be [the free and independent individuals] who they were born to be, rather than what the negativities of ourselves and our societies would make of them. Be with us, in Spirit, Jerome, and Bless us all!
Peace, Betty"
From Janet in Huntington Beach (emphasis added):
"A masterpiece, Father Jerome, and I thank you with all my heart and soul. And what amazes me the most, is that the story, the epic, the info, that you tell, is not even in your words or even in your works. Anyone who reads QUFD literally and thinks that is all there is, is missing the point! Because your words are certainly meant to evoke the answers and the truth - THE TRUTH - from WITHIN EACH ONE OF US! Therefore the truth, and the answers, ARE DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE to each reader. When you say "look within" - you have it right! KNOWING - what you call it - is that knowledge, that Being, that Essence, that Spirit, that whatever, IN US - each one of us - and that is what your words are meant to bring forth! Truly, you have written a paean to our souls, that we might FIND THEM and then BE the Who and What we were BORN TO BE!
Again, THANK YOU, oh so much!"
From Maureen in Boston:
"What a wonderful and priceless contribution you have made to all of us. In the context of that monetary economy of today which you have written about, this world cannot possibly find enough monetary compensation in any form to even come close to rewarding such a tremendous contribution. But the beautiful thing is, as you have said, that the same thing is possible for each and every one of us. All we have to do is find out Who and What we are, as a human being and as an individual person, and then do that singular and unique thing that we were all individually born to do. If we should all do that, this world would be so wonderful it would be indescribable!
Be with us, Jerome, that we might individually and collectively find our way and ourselves, and that we might do that which is to be done!
Peace, Maureen"
"Reading QUFD has changed my entire perception of reality!", a businessman
"I've seen more hypothetical speculation in the pages of Science and Physics Today than anywhere in QUFD. Everything Jerome puts forth is entirely plausible, within the laws of physics!", a retired science teacher.
"Jerome has described exactly the operating parameters and dynamics of a complex and intricate incorporeal system. That system is God, humanity, individuals and just about everything in the universe!", a systems engineer.
"If what Jerome puts forth is to be believed and proved, if at all possible, this opens up a completely new perspective and tentative history of mankind itself! Anthropology, and any science dealing with man himself, would have to be re-examined from the incorporeal-spirit dimensions as well as the physical, corporeal aspects that we already pursue. Man may well be Cosmological, existing throughout the Cosmos, belonging to, and having come from, the stars themselves. Just think! How many human civilizations might exist in those parallel dimensions that scientists have been telling us about over recent years?", an anthropologist.
"This opens up an entirely new theology of Spirit and Reality, and maybe even a new religion, although, I suspect that Jerome would surely disavow that.", a minister.
"If Jerome is right, this means that we will have to look very closely at the very mechanisms of government, and eliminate such negativities and vested interests as he describes, if government is truly to be, Of the People, By the People and For the People, and not a minion of negative and elitist forces.", a City Councilmember.
"I think he may be on to something. Looking to the Spirit of an individual - what Jerome calls the incorporeal dimensions - may explain many if not all of mankind's physical and medical afflictions. Perhaps we do need, as he has suggested, Ground-States Analysis Physicians, to examine one's incorporeal-consciousness dimensions and realities, of what he calls the condensate-ground-state of an individual's consciousness.", a psychiatric intern/student.
"...thousands of webpages of good stuff. Truly a wonderful educational experience for anyone of any age!", a teacher.
"I have just read your paper/lecture on 'The Quantum Physics of Time' - it was wonderful, easy to read and understand. I wanted to say 'thank you' for providing a place where those of us who are not mathematically inclined or somehow 'missed' physics in high school or college could land and feel intelligent. Peace...", a reader who found one of Jerome's webpages via a search engine listing.
"Wow! Finally a piece of writing that makes sense, for those of us who are caught between believing in religion and believing in science, and have to, day in and day out, relate to, and exist with, both science and religion. Jerome credits God as the 'Chief Scientist', but also makes Him a partner, with man, in the business of Creation! This is truly a wonderful coming together of science and religion, that should surely offend neither one!", a layperson reader of QUFD.
"What this means is that we can never justifiably hold precedent sacred ever again......QUFD presents an indisputable case for the entire reexamination of our lives, our societies and our institutions, and just about everything that makes us tick, in the elimination of those fingers of negativity that pervade everything that we do......This (QUFD) should be required reading for all thinking people everywhere! We all need to understand these essential fundamentals of our very existence which have finally been exposed to the light of reason.", a law student.
"...all human creativity - in the arts, sciences and everything - is probably impelled by the random accesses of our latent mature minds into those other dimensions - ground-states - of consciousness.", a film student.
"I just wanted to say Thank You! As a loyal American and a fundamentalist Christian, I've known all along, deep in my faith, that economics and a social system without all the greed, corruption and inefficiencies that we have today was somehow possible for my children and all of the children of the world. You've shown and proved that it is. Now all it takes is all of us to do it - to get our act together!", a housewife.
"I have started reading QUFD. This book(website) is opening my eyes, and confirming things for me. I have had an interest in Quantum Physics my entire life, and I have been searching for the answers to so many questions. Your fine book is supplying those answers. I have to admit, it is a challenging read, but well worth the challenge. Thank you so much for your excellent contribution.", a professional with a Masters degree in Hypnotherapy.
"...everything is so right on, it has to be true. This (QUFD) should be required reading for everyone everywhere!", a QUFD reader.
"Hey Man, QUFD ROCKS! For all of us who want to dig the meaning of Life, QUFD rocks everything else! Read it and BE ROCKED!", a high school student.
"Truly, you have rendered an indictment on the whole societal system, based on solid scientific evidence and fact. Now it is up to us, as the jury of all our peers, to proclaim that further judgement, as to what we - all of us - are going to do about it!", a reader in Minneapolis.
"I enjoy your site too....I haven't finished reading it- but that's what's so much fun! It's nice to have somethng that goes on and on. You can read things and go back to more info. Thanks for the site." Bobbie, in St. Joseph, Minn.
An email from Lenny, in Baton Rouge (EMPHASIS added):
"Thank you, Thank you, Jerome. Your words have already 'Brought Us Together', in a fascinating way. Because, as I have read more and more of your works, I have realized that 'it' was all there: All of what already exists, in human history, in human psychology, in philosophy, science, antiquities, linguistics, culture, film, entertainment, literature, the Great Classics, etc., etc. It's all there, in your writings! Reading QUFD, one can see the elements, the truths, the principles, the realities and so much more, which have already been 'told', expressed, by humanity, in so many ways, over the eons. All centered around one principle: We are One, with All That Is (IF we would but realize it)! And one can see the elements of so many already-familiar other 'works', which have already 'told' those truths, which are self-evident, because they are WITHIN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US! Hey, look what I see, in QUFD: Stanley
Kubrick/Arthur C. Clarke's '2001: A Space Odyssey'; Poul Anderson's 'Avatar'; Arthur C. Clarke's 'Childhood's End'; Gene Roddenberry's 'Star Trek'; George Lucas' 'Star Wars'; 'The Book of Urantia'; the Bible; the Bhagavad Gita; the Koran; Homer's 'Odyssey'; Plato's 'Republic'; Kant's 'Critique of Pure Reason'; Newton's 'Principia Mathematica'; Adam Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations'; Karl Marx's 'Das Capital'; Carl Jung's 'Psychology of the Unconscious'; Ilya Prigogine's 'Order Out of Chaos'; Roger Penrose's 'Shadows of the Mind'; Stephen Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time'; Einstein's 'Relativity'; 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark'; Hercules; Zena; and so on and on. From ancient times, to the present. It has already been said, because it's already there - WITHIN every one of us! The TRUTH! Thanks again, Jerome, for just pointing out, to all of us, that we are ALREADY ONE, with All That Is. All we have to do is to realize that
and then to activate that reality, through our WILL and ACTIONS - to bring it into existence, for everyone, everywhere! Then this will truly be a beautiful world. Best Regards, Lenny"
Jerome makes the following comment and assessment:
Some recent Emails have asked the question, "Aren't you afraid that such truths as you are putting to print will not be received very well by the authorities and those vested interests whom you have written about, especially the scientific establishment, who will surely refute your claims and formulation, ignoring the merits and truths of it all?"
Well, my answer to that IS: Remember those NO FEAR gear and T-shirts? Well, when one KNOWS Who and What one IS, as a person AND a human being, one acts and does accordingly, and one can most unreservedly PUT ONE'S NAME on anything one does, with the humble certainty that what one does IS RIGHT!
So it is that I have done! And I definitely do INVITE ANYONE, who does likewise TRUST, in what they might DO, and as to the truths of THEIR LIVES and all of our lives, to HAVE NO FEAR, in putting one's NAME to ANYTHING one does!
Aum, Peace, Amen!
Jerome
