The "god" particle is the nickname for the higgs-boson. It has nothing to do with spirituality. The higgs-boson could be used to validate some models of the universe because the problem of quantum mechanics is that there is no universal model to validate gravity. The higgs-boson would be used to prove that gravity exists on a quantum level (by proving that particles have mass). Common sense tells us it does, but in computation models, its hard to prove gravity exists and how weak it is compared to the other 3 quantum forces (weak nuclear, strong nuclear and electromagnetic). The boson essentially gives matter its mass component.

The discovery of the particle is essential to validate if quantum string theory holds any weight or is just pseudoscience.

i acknowledge @ru bris for his post and citation:

"The preliminary results with the full 2012 data set are magnificent and to me it is clear that we are dealing with a Higgs boson, though we still have a long way to go to know what kind of Higgs boson it is."

The particle's existence helps confirm the theory that objects gain their size and shape when particles interact in an energy field with a key particle, the Higgs boson. The more they attract, so the theory goes, the bigger their mass will be.

IMHO, the results are still to be finalized and submitted for peer review to establish its scientific validity.

the Standard Model is inconsistent with that of general relativity, to the point that one or both theories break down under certain conditions (for example within known space-time singularities like the Big Bang and black hole event horizons).

how will this affect the metaphysical beliefs and associated practices that seek to relate consciousness, intelligence, or mystical world-views to the ideas of quantum mechanics and its interpretations? IMNSHO, the standard model promotes the belief that the universe is a system that is closed, deterministic, mechanistic and probabilistic.

biased in favor of the thesis propounded by Fritjof Capra and Gary Zukav: i.e. that Physics has gotten to the point where it is practically incomprehensible to lay-folk without resort to the perspectives provided by ancient traditions which are concerned with the cultivation of intuitive modes of awareness.

parallels between quantum physics and depth psychology in an effort to illuminate the problem of consciousness

the Standard Model of particle physics (which is quark theory combined with electroweak theory) is the correct theory.

certain concepts in physics which have long been completely discarded as sterile, useless or incorrect (the so-called Bootstrap Theory on which Capra worked for his dissertation, and the related S-Matrix Theory) are somehow far more valid that the well-tested theories physicists have used since the 1970s, the so-called “Standard Model,” because they agree with certain concepts Capra (but nobody else) finds in “Eastern Mysticism.
