About Thaddeus Golas

  • Thaddeus Stanley Golas (1924 - 1997) was an American writer and the author of The Lazy Mans Guide to Enlightenment, a blending of ontology, traditional physics and spirituality based on his central idea “we are equal beings and the universe is our relations with each other”.
  • He begins with the idea that the universe is not one big mind, but a vast number of equal and identical minds/beings.
  • It has been in continuous publication since 1971 and has been translated and published in French, Spanish and Japanese.
  • From the book: “enlightenment doesn’t care how you get there”.
  • Golas refined and clarified his ideas in his last book Love and Pain where he backs up his ideas with an integrated map of reality.
  • Golas posits there is no such thing as empty space.
  • What is called space is actually a vital substance generated by living beings who are highly intelligent, identical and equal.
  • They are quite tangible yet they are invisible to our senses and our instruments except in their effect on energy/matter.
  • Golas suggests these beings generate a strong expansive force which pressurizes space thereby creating gravity since the pressure of space pushes us toward the Earth.
  • Therefore, space is far denser and more forceful than the thinly spread arrays of atomic particles and photons we perceive as materials and energies; space is substantial and energy/matter is ghostly.
  • This model offers a solution to the problem of “The Missing Matter”.
  • Golas believed that energy/matter is these same beings in an alternate behavior of physically vibrating; alternating between expanding and contracting.Golas emphasizes that energy/matter and any structures of energy/matter have consciousness and feelings but no teleology other than to seek immediate comfort by adjusting rates of vibrations to harmonize with any others in proximity.
  • This is panpsychism with a crucial provision: vibrating beings appearing as energy or mass have a significantly attenuated intelligence such that their behavior appears to us to be automatic rather than intelligent.Golas believed that beings who are not vibrating have no cognizance of energy/matter or its formations.
