He was stoned for blasphemy when he said Be Still and Know That I'm God....
Making the Leap
Downward causation occurs in a non-ordinary state of consciousness that we call God-consciousness. Yet we are unaware of it. Why the unawareness? Mystics have been telling us about the oneness of God-consciousness and our own consciousness for millennia, but we haven't heard for the most part. Why this lack of hearing?
The Upanishads says emphatically, 'You are That', meaning you are God. Jesus said, no less emphatically, 'You are all the children of God'. This is a key. We are children of God; we have to grow up to realize our God-consciousness. There are mechanisms that obscure our Godness giving rise to our ordinary I-separateness that we call ego. This ego creates a barrier against seeing our oneness with God and oneness with one another. Growing in spirituality means growing beyond the ego.
A key point is that quantum downward causation of choice is discontinuously exerted. If choice were continuous, a mathematical model, at least a computer algorithm, could be constructed for it and the choice would be predictable and not free and its author could not be called God. Our ordinary waking state of consciousness - the ego - smooths out the discontinuity by compromising our freedom to choose. To be aware that we choose freely is to jump beyond the ego taking a discontinuous leap, call it a quantum leap.
