Note: The nature of this book does not allow a
strictly logical linear presentation. So there is repetition
between chapters. This is a multidimensional book and so the
presentation of these thoughts and concepts, this cosmology
cannot be presented as words are lined up one by one on a two
dimensional page. Sometimes you have to read two chapters in
order to understand either chapter. The earth is dimensionally
restricted. So it is impossible to describe in those limited
dimensions an unlimited infinite reality which is the true source
of all that we are as spirits.
The
core foundation of peace within the world human society is
the acknowledgment that each human being has an incarnate
spirit that animates it. Without an incarnate spirit, the
human body is just a piece of meat and bone unable to function.
When the spirit becomes confused in the manifestation of this
tangible reality and begins to think that the human body is
the true reality and the spirit is irrelevant, chaos and disharmony
possesses that human being and that chaos permeates and ripples
through the entire world human society. This book is focused
on bringing clarity to human beings who have become confused
and lost in this tangible dimension by believing that a mortal
finite human body is the true reality as opposed to the infinite
immortal spirit which resides within it.

PREFACE
This is a book of metaphors. We exist in a tangible concrete
physical world. Our language is logical and linear. It is
for the most part one dimensional.
Logical linear language cannot begin to describe the intangible
reality. We cannot describe in logical linear language the
spiritual dimension, heaven and hell; where there is no time,
space, sex, good or bad, light or dark.
To describe the spiritual reality, I have to talk about it
in logical linear metaphors. As an example, the sun is like
a hot yellow ball. That language is a bridge to an understanding
of what the sun is. But the sun is not a hot yellow ball.
When I say that relationships in the spiritual dimension are
like human relationships on earth, that is just a metaphorical
bridge. In a nutshell, good and bad spirits incarnate into
flesh and bone bodies that can be used for any purpose; to
do good or bad. Bad spirits that incarnate in a human body
tend to do bad things; good spirits tend to do good and uplifting
things. So if you want to know what the spiritual reality,
heaven and hell and nirvana, are like, then look around and
consider how humans interact.
Heaven is not a place of perfect peace. The Christian Bible
says there was a war in heaven between Satan and God. Therefore,
it is undeniable that God did not make a perfect heaven.
Yet when I say that the spiritual dimension is like the earth
dimension in regards to the spirits, that exist in the spiritual
dimension in a very wispy physical form and in a hard physical
form on earth, act with the same attitude in both realities.
It must be remembered that the spiritual dimension is nothing
like the earth dimension.
In the spiritual dimension there is no death. If there is
no death and if spirits live forever, then one spirit cannot
harm another spirit. They can only cause temporary grief and
irritation. So there is no need for laws. There is no need
for punishment. If you don’t like a particular spirit
then go somewhere else and reside.
This cosmology model is way to simplistic. But it is a bridge
to understanding the spiritual dimension by human beings who
are locked temporarily in a dynamic ever changing tangible
reality. So what I am saying is not to be taken literally.
The sun is really nothing like a hot yellow ball. And the
spiritual reality is really nothing like life on earth. I
am speaking in metaphors in an attempt to describe a spiritual
dimension that can never be consciously understood in this
reality due to the limitatios of the human body. There is
only a knowing of how the spiritual realm is. There is no
adequate logical linear explanation.
INTRODUCTION
The foundation of inner peace and the level of peace in the
world human society is grounded in an understanding of what
we are doing here. Why are we born into this reality?
The overwhelming majority of human beings believe that their
infintie, immortal spirit inhabits their physical bodies and
after the death of the human body, their spirit will survive
in the spiritual dimension.
This spiritual dimension is infinite and immortal. It had
no beginning and has no end. It always existed. This is the
greatest mystery for human beings who live in a tangible universe
that is made up of beginnings and ending of everything. The
logical linear mind of human beings cannot conceive of abstracts
like no time, no space, no beginning, no ending, all spirits
being at one with the Infinite Potential (God) and at the
same time having an individual perspective as a part of God.
The human body is no more than a vehicle for a spirit. And
each sentient being, according to the Buddhist, hosts a spirit.
Without the spirit, the human body, or the body of any living
thing, is dead. Without the life force of the spirit, there
is no life in any living thing. Being alive is associated
with a physical body which is inhabited by a spirit; or stated
another way, a spirit is incarnate within a human body.
In order to find peace, we much acknowledge and live an awareness
that our true spiritual essence is simply looking out and
experiencing this reality though the human body; the same
way we would look through a telescope or microscope, the same
way we watch a movie at the cinema.
By incarnating in a human body, the spirit can experience
time, space, beginnings and ending, the senses of the human
body, a physical separateness from other spirits, and an intensity
of existence that is not possible in an non physical form
or in a barely tangible physical form like the spiritual dimension.
The greatest impediment to inner peace and the level of peace
in the world human society is the confusion of the spirit
as it resides within the human body. The spirit becomes confused
by forgetting its immortal and infinite being and begins to
think this finite mortal reality is the true reality. When
we forget our true infinite immortal spiritual nature, we
become lost and confused in this reality.
Everything we do in this life will be reviewed at the end
of our lives when the human body dies. At that time, our spirit
will return to the spiritual dimensions and all the lies we
told and pain and suffering we caused as well as any good
we did, will be open for review. Getting away with a hurtful
act within this physical universe will be reviewed in the
truth and light at the time of the spirit’s return to
the spiritual dimension. It is there where all those who have
been wronged will be vindicated.
This mental disengagement of the spirit from the human body
and change of perspective about what is going on in the physical
reality will greatly enhance the level of peace within the
world human society. It is the denial of a judgment day or
review day at the end of life that causes disharmony and chaos
within the world human society. The acknowledgement that nothing
can or will be hidden by the spirit in the spiritual dimension
with regards to its life on earth, will cause the majority
human beings to view their actions differently.
In order to have inner peace and to increase the level of
peace in the world human society, we must never forget that
we are an infinite, immortal spirit peering out through human
eyes and experiencing through the other human senses. In death,
that perspective is lost.
When we forget what we really are, we become confused and
then we do things that cause us pain and suffering and that
pain and suffering ripples through the entire world human
society. When we become confused, we become a source of disharmony
and chaos rippling throughout the universe.
When we associate with the human body, we think that living
eighty years is a long time when it is less than a nano second
within the infinity of time.
We must never forget that we are experiencing this reality
temporarily and then act accordingly. We must never forget
that the body will die and all that we knew and experienced
while incarnate will vaporize. Human life is just a dream
in this sense.
We want to avoid becoming confused in this reality, this dream.
Avoiding confusion manifests peace within ourselves and increases
the level of peace in the world human society.
The foundation
of inner peace and WorldPeace can be summed up in the simplicity
of the children's nursery rhyme.
Row,
Row, Row
YOUR boat,
GENTLY down the steam.
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily,
LIFE is but a DREAM.
THE INFINITE POTENTIAL
We cannot conceive of the Infinite Potential.
We cannot conceive
of the Infinite Potential. We cannot conceive of infinite
distance, infinite time, infinite nothingness.
Consider for
a moment how far a hundred million billion light years extends.
Then consider that once we have traveled that far, we have
truly gone nowhere in relation to Infinity.
Also, consider
for a moment that if we count all the grains of sand in our
physical universe, we have a number equal to zero in relation
to the infinite number of grains of sand in the Infinite.
Then consider
the number of atoms contained in our physical universe. They
are without number in our conception and yet together, like
the grains of sand contained in our physical universe, their
numbers equal zero in relation to Infinity.
A billion infinities
equal zero within the Infinite Potential.
Lastly, consider
that the Infinite Potential contains every conceivable possibility.
For instance, it could contain a galaxy identical to ours
except that the other galaxy contains one atom more than ours.
If we can conceive
of the existence of a galaxy exactly like our galaxy except
for one additional atom in that galaxy, then we will understand
the equivalent of one atom as it relates to the total physical
universe in attempting to conceive of the potential manifestations
of the Infinite Potential.
It is very
frightening to consider our finite physical insignificance
in the totality of the Infinite Potential. That is why we
as humans limit the boundaries of our universe and believe
that an anthropomorphic God protects us from all that is beyond
our individually defined realities.
The truth is
that our souls (our spiritual essence) are immortal. Our physical
sojourn in this time and place is insignificant, yet our immortality
is not. Our immortality is infinite and at one with the Infinite
Potential (God).
Everything
has always existed in the Infinite Potential and so we have
always existed. There is no beginning or end. How is it possible
that we will not continue to exist? How can we die if we were
never born?
Inner peace
comes when we recognize that our true essence is our immortal,
infinite, peaceful soul and not our transient body.
Inner peace
comes when our actions mirror the peace and harmony of the
Infinite Potential (God) and not the transient, aggressive
predatory nature of the earth.
THE
INFINITE GOD AND THE PERSONAL GOD
There are
two concepts of God, Personal and Infinite, all knowing, present
everywhere. There is no place that God is not.. God is not
masculine
In in the world
human society, there are two concepts of God. One is a Personal
God who is represented by Yahweh in Judaism, Jehovah in Christianity,
Allah in Islam. In Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism there is
no emphasis on a Personal God.
A Personal God is one who is like a super human being, an
anthropomorphic entity that rules heaven and earth and has
a purpose, intent, emotions and so on just like human beings.
The Infinite
God is indescribable, indefinable and inconceivable. In Judaism,
Christianity, Islam and Hinduism, the Personal God is given
these all-knowing and omnipotent qualities but without the
consideration that any description of God, is a limitation
on God. God as The Infinite Potential is beyond description
and without limitations.
The Infinite
God is the potential of all things and has no beginning and
has no end. The Infinite God is the Infinite Potential that
forever manifests those potentials and forever disintegrates
those manifestations. The only two constants of the Infinite
God are Change and Diversity.
The Infinite
God is like the ocean. The ocean is a vast body of liquid
that manifests shells, fish, mammals, plants and so on. It
really has no preference of one manifestation over another.
It is all things. It is at one
with all things. All things within the Ocean are one with
the Ocean.
When atheist
rejects the concept of God, they are really rejecting the
concept of a Personal God. To reject the Infinite God, the
Infinite Oneness, is like a fish denying the existence of
the Ocean.
The Infinite
God is called "The Way" in Taoism, "Brahma"
in Hinduism and "Dhammakaya" in Buddhism. The Personal
God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam is referred to as also
being the Infinite God and yet the emphasis is on the Personal
aspects of God.
When one embraces
the Infinite God, one understands that there is no difference
between the Personal Gods. All races, religions, nations,
and both sexes are distinct but at one with the Infinite God.
All is One. All are One.
There is no
harm in embracing a Personal God as long as that Personal
God does not encourage intolerance of others and consequently
become the harbinger of prejudice, hatred and injustice within
the world human society. A Personal God that advocates elitism
among its worshipers, who excludes from its realm rather than
is all inclusive, even one human being on earth, is in the
final analysis a harbinger of pain and suffering within the
world human society and an antagonist to the manifestation
of WorldPeace.
Hindus do
not have many Gods, they have many Jesuses, Avatars. Buddhist
call them Bodhisatvas.
PERSONAL
GOD
There is only
one God, who manifests under many different religious names
and faces. No matter how great our conscious knowledge and
understanding, God is beyond our conception.
Somewhere between
the finite reality which we perceive and Infinity is the boundary
of the Personal God's realm. We allow our minds to travel
as far toward Infinity as we can, which is nowhere at all
and then we define everything beyond the boundary of that
which we can understand and conceive as God outer realm.
It seems to
us that few happenings in our universe are totally spontaneous.
Laws of cause and effect create the tangible and intangible
realities. God is the totality of all the unknown common denominators
of cause and effect.
God can be
defined as everything that we do no understand. For example,
when we did not understand the nature of bacteria, we thought
people became sick and sometimes died because it was God's
will. We now know that the cause of disease is, in many cases,
bacteria and we act in a manner that will eliminate or control
the germs. We no longer attribute the resulting illness to
God.
When we did
not understand the paths of the moon, the planets and the
stars, we drew a picture of the universe with humanity at
the center. The stars were just a canopy above the earth.
We now know that starry canopy is infinite and that heaven
is not a particular place. We now realize that some of those
stars are really galaxies and maybe even universes.
Scientists
believe they will soon formulate a unified theory of the physical
universe. However, they have not even begun to theorize about
the Infinite void into which our universe is expanding. They
cannot even begin to conceive of what it is that envelopes
the entire physical universe.
As we move
forward in time, we bring into consciousness more and more
knowledge regarding our reality. Consequently, that which
was once attributed to God becomes knowledge and understanding
and that knowledge and understanding pushes back the boundary
of that which we do not know or understand and continue to
define as God's exclusive realm.
Our knowledge
and understanding continue to expand but the Infinite
Potential does not shrink with this knowledge. The mysteries
of the Infinite Potential are infinite. God will always be
that which is beyond our knowledge and understanding. Therefore,
there will always be a concept of God, regardless of the name
we call God, no matter how great our knowledge and understanding.
Inner peace
comes when we stop using God as a justification to perpetuate
prejudice and disharmony among ourselves.
Inner peace
comes in acknowledging that the Infinite Potential (God) is
one. That the Infinite Potential is beyond our conception,
but we are at one within It.
SPIRITUAL DIMENSION HEAVEN AND HELL
The spiritual
dimension is a reflection of the earthly dimension and the
earthly dimension is a reflection of the spiritual dimension.
Between our personal reality and the Infinite Potential most
religions teach there is a spiritual dimension. The spiritual
dimension is one in which there are individual spirits interacting
much the same way as they interact on earth when incarnated
in a human body.
If you want to know what heaven and hell are like, look around
at how human beings treat each other.
The Christian Bible talks of a war in heaven between Satan
and his followers and God. Obviously heaven in not a place
of perfect peace.
A perfect peace is a reality of humans made of stone so they
cannot interact.
Perfect peace is an aspect of a static non changing universe.
We live in a dynamic ever changing universe. The perfect peace
that Jesus is supposed to bring would in reality be one in
which he turns the earth and all that is in it and everything
that has ever lived on it into a work of stone.
IMMORTALITY
OF SPIRITS
We are infinite, immortal spiritual travelers of times, places
and dimensions.
You are conscious
of here and now because, more than anything else, that is
your desire. Your inner being wants to experience this time
and place; so experience it. You have come here with a purpose
and you are fulfilling that purpose.
When we consider
that we are immortal in our being and only temporarily consciously
residing in this reality, everything comes into perspective
such that our immortality reduces the transient events of
this short life into nothing more than interesting encounters
and happenings.
In light of
the infinite variety of the Infinite Potential, where there
is at times only a grain-of-sand difference in universes,
consider that all of those in your reality are here because
you have accepted them into your reality and they have accepted
you into their reality.
The experiences
that your brothers and sisters bring to you are experiences
that you desire; even though they are sometimes unpleasant
or even deadly to you or to those you consider kin and friend.
Society has
many rules that define acceptable behavior within it. Certain
behavior is rewarded and certain behavior is punished. Trespassers
will
be punished according to the laws of each society. But this
should never blind us to the immortality of the souls who
play the human roles that society condemns.
Within the
Infinity of God, we are each unique infinite, immortal travelers
of times, places and dimensions. So it has always been; so
it will always be. There is no beginning and no end.
We are each
at one with God and therefore, we are each as we should be.
We are each as we wish to be. If that were not so, we would
not be here.
You can rest.
You can sleep. But you can never cease to exist.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that everything is as it should be.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that the universe and our immortal souls
are unfolding exactly as they should.
CREATION
OF THE UNIVERSE: SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
We really have
no idea how or why we exist in this reality much less any
truly valid concept of its creation.
Scientists
are searching for the primary building blocks of all that
we perceive in this physical universe. They are searching
for the common particle or energy that combines to create
the infinitely complex structures of the physical universe.
Scientists
believe that all physical things are made up of smaller atomic
particles which are themselves made up of even smaller sub-atomic
particles. They have yet to acknowledge that there exists
a physical frontier. They have yet to acknowledge that there
is a finite physical article which is not made up of smaller
physical particles.
Eventually
scientists will discover that on some level there exists a
physical particle or energy which is formed from something
non-physical. This non-physical something is what I define
as the Infinite Potential.
Within the
Infinite Potential, exists the possibility of all things.
There is no
light, yet there is no darkness; no sound, yet no silence:
no past, no future; no beginning, no end; nothing and everything.
Try to imagine
a windowless room that contains no light, yet it is not dark.
Try to imagine the same room with no sound of any kind and
yet there is no silence. If we cannot conceive of either of
these possibilities, then we have to admit that we have no
chance of even beginning to understand Creation.
Within the
Infinite Potential, all is in perfect harmony; light and dark,
sound and silence, beginning and end.
Creation is
the result of a thought projected within the perfect harmony:
"Let there be light!" And from that thought, this
reality has manifested.
Inner peace
comes when we humble ourselves to the magnificent enigma of
Creation and joy in the knowledge that we have been allowed
to incarnate into the body of a human and to consciously experience
it and to realize that our souls are an immortal, infinite
part of it.
EARTH
We are
each an integral part of a living earth which sustains our
bodies.
Our bodies
are an extension of the earth. We are a complex system of
biological functions which depend upon the earth for life.
Our bodies
are a part of a perfect biological system which when viewed
by those outside the earth classifies us as no more than the
trees or other life forms that co-exist with us.
We take in
the physical energy of the earth through eating, drinking
and breathing, and we return to the earth our waste, which
is then broken down and made available to be processed into
more energy. In this respect, we are no different than any
other life form on the earth.
Undeniably
we are killing the earth. We are polluting the land, the water
and the air. We are creating waste which the planet cannot
easily break down. We have already begun to poison ourselves
with our own waste.
No matter how
intelligent and supreme we consider ourselves, without oxygen
to breathe, we die; without pure water to drink, we die; and
without the fruit of the earth to eat both animal and vegetable
we die. We cannot live outside the laws of nature.
We must create
an Ecological Life System that works within the laws of nature
or we will surely exterminate ourselves by killing the earth
which sustains us.
We are each
entrusted with the preservation of the earth. No one has the
right to pollute the planet. To do so is an arrogant disregard
for every living thing upon the earth.
The truth regarding
the ecological maintenance of the earth is that it is individuals
who pollute the earth. It is not companies or governments
but the people who work within these companies and governments
who poison the earth. No individual can deny his or her responsibility
by hiding behind a company or government facade as he or she
deliberately, intentionally and maliciously sanctions the
pollution of the earth, which belongs to all of humanity.
Inner peace
comes in acknowledging that our bodies are inseparable from
the earth and when we quit polluting the earth we will live
in good health and be able to again enjoy the perfect harmony
of a magnificently beautiful world.
CHANGE
Everything
changes!
One of the
fundamental laws of the earth, the universe and the Infinite
Potential is the law of Change.
Everything
that manifests in this reality immediately begins to disappear.Everything
that is born immediately begins to die.
Not one single
manifestation in this reality is permanent. No legacy is anything
more than an illusion of permanence. No empire can withstand
the children of the great king.
Each day has
its own agenda. Each day comes in harmony. If one tries to
live yesterday again today, one is attempting to stop the
world from turning.
When one tries
to raise children in the ways of the past, one attempts to
deny them their inheritance of the future. Our way of life
dies as we live it each day and trying to confine our children
to the past creates an unpeaceful disorientation for everyone.
Change is so
much a part of the universe that any attempt to halt it on
any level creates conflict and disharmony.
Since all things
change, peace comes when we embrace change. When we embrace
change, we embrace peace. When we reject change, we immediately
become a center of chaos.
Inner
peace comes when we accept change and do not waste our time
or energy considering how we may be able to slow it down or
stop it.
CREATION
OF HUMAN BEINGS
From the dust of the universe the earth was created. In time
the human body evolved. It is possible that higher physical
beings (aliens) made genetic changes in the developing human
beings. All that lives on the earth is dust. Without an incarnate
spirit, the human body has no life. Without a driver, an automobile
has no life.
Everytime a car is abandoned by the driver, the car dies.
It has no memory. The driver has the memory.
It does not
matter whether human beings evolved or were created or evolved
and were genetically manipulated. The human body is nothing
but dust.
The problem
with human beings is that they believe that the body and mind
has a life independent of the incarnate spirit. It does not.
When the spirit leaves the human body, the body is dead, lifeless
and other human beings dispose of the remains by burial or
by fire.
This emphasis
on the human body is the source of much confusion within the
world human society. There is too much emphasis on the body
and not enough emphasis on the spirit. That confusion is the
source of disharmony and chaos and the reason there is currently
such a low level of peace on earth within the world human
society.
Inner peace comes
as we begm to live the understanding that the human body is
to the soul what an automobile is to the human being.
Peace comes when
we begin to demote the human body to its proper place as a
finite mortal biological vehicle.
GENETICS
It is best to consider the human body nothing more that a
vehicle. It is nothing more than a modern automobile metamorphorically
speaking. The difference of course is that the human body
is biological and an automobile is not.
Without a
driver and automobile is dead. Without a spirit incarnate
in a human body, the human body is dead. But a dead human
body decays much faster than an automobile.
There have
been all sorts of societies that have had varying success
at mummification. Some cars are parked in garages and some
are parked in the weather. The ones parked in garages last
longer.
Genetics is about the modification of the human body. Almost
the entire discussion about human genetics loses it emotional
charge when one considers the human body as just a piece of
meat, blood and bone. It is a biological machine in a sense.
Manipulating a human being, or using the parts and pieces
of a human body to learn how to manipulate and heal and make
whole the human body is just a very high tech job that can
easily be compared to fixing and even building better automobiles
year after year.
There needs to be a distinction between God building a human
body, and God creating an immortal infinite spirit. Human
beings cannot create a spirit. Even spirits cannot create
other spirits.
The concern that we are playing God as we manipulate the human
body through genetics is valid. But no different than when
we create medicines to heal the body. If religion endorses
the creation of medicines, then religion should not object
to genetic manipulation to also heal the human body.
This entire discussion about genetic research shows how disoriented
and confused that human beings are in this reality. There
is too much emphasis placed on a mortal finite human body
that is programmed to die in about eighty years. After death,
the body turns to dust. It is the infinite immortal spirit
that survives.
The spirit
exits the human body and then death comes to the human body.
The immortal spirit is what life is all about; an immortal
spirit residing within a human body. The Buddhist and Hindus
believe that all living things are inhabited by a spirit.
When we start placing too much emphasis on the human body
and materialism we have become confused in the manifestations
of the tangible universe and have lost sight of the fact that
the immortal infinite human spirit is all that is really important
in life.
This discussion also touches on the alleged conflict between
religion and science. Science is only concerned with the manipulation
of the tangible universe. What science can’t measure,
science dismisses.
Religion is concerned with the spiritual dimension. Every
living thing in this reality is mortal and finite and animated
by a spirit (soul).
There is no conflict between religion and science in any meaningful
way. Science is about living bodies. Religion is about immortal
spirits. Science is also about the mechanics of the tangible
universe. Religion just says God made it all; or that everything
manifested from the Infinite Potential (God).
What is interesting is that if God made it all, then God has
already planned the evolution of the universe and he knows
what is coming. God does not exist in the past or future.
God only exists in the now and the now includes the past and
the future.
The nature
of the tangible universe is one of evolution. Everything that
is born dies. And what is born is not an exact clone of what
came before. Science through genetics is speeding up evolution.
So what. God does not have a restriction as to how fast the
universe and each of its parts evolves.
Peace comes when we realize that the manipulation of the
human body through genetics is no different that the creation
of medicines to heal the human body or prolonging life or
to increase the quality of life.
INCARNATION
FOR INTENSITY time of conception
Individual souls are either incarnate within a body or
they are free of
a body.
Incarnate,
as we presently define it, is "the embodiment of a spirit
in some earthly form." The biodegradable finite mortal
human body hosts the infinite immortal soul.
Each person
who reads this is incarnate in this reality. And each is incarnate
because he or she chooses to be.
The time will
soon come when we will each return to the spirit reality.
When we do, we will experience the things of the spirit.
It seems important
to consider the spiritual side of the Infinite Potential.
But when we are incarnate, it is because we desire to experience
the physical world. Consequently, we should be comfortable
within the confines of the physical world. When the time comes
for our bodies to pass on or die, then we can totally experience
the reality of the spiritual dimension.
We are always
where we want to be. We are never where we do not
want to be.
The soul attaches
to the human fetus at conception. At that time the soul begins
to program the human body and brain to serve the soul during
its incarnation. If the soul abandons a fetus, it dies. Sometimes
a second soul will take over a fetus and when this happens,
since the replacing soul was not present at inception it must
deal with the programming that has already taken place. This
is why some human beings never feel exactly comfortable in
their bodies.
The reason the soul
incarnates is because in the spiritual realm there is not
the intensity there is in the earthly realm. The soul lives
in a spiritual environment where there is no time and space,
no light and dark, no large and small. When a soul entered
a human body which is capable of slowing things down the soul
can then experience time and space, light and dark and the
infinite dualities. So the soul incarnates for the simple
purpose of experiencing existence intensly. It is like have
sexual intercourse in thought as opposed to in reality.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that whether we are in body or in spirit,
it is because of a choice that we have made.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that we are exactly where we want to be.
When the soul decides it has had enough, it will surely depart
this reality
and the body will die.
METAPHYSICAL
FOG
The border between the spiritual dimension and the earth reality
is not a hard and fast barrier. The spirit is incarnate in
a human body which is not perfectly uniform. There are genetic
differences in the human body and physical anomalies in the
earth that create as sort of foggy separation between the
earthly reality that our bodies perceive and the spiritual
dimension that the spirit knows but is essentially blinded
to while it is incarnate in a human body.
For this reason we have dreams in our sleep and visions in
our waking state where we get glimpses of the spiritual dimension.
People report seeing ghosts all the time. Sometimes ghosts
they recognize as departed friends or family and sometime
strangers.
Sometimes these ghost bring information.
Sometimes we get premonitions about the future with regards
to small events in our lives and sometimes larger events that
inform us about global events.
There are
humans who meditate for large blocks of time and over many
years and are able to see more clearly through the metaphysical
fog and into the spiritual dimension. And there are humans
who never meditate and have the gift of vision and prophecy
to see the future. In the spiritual dimension there is no
past and future so both are easy to see. It is like all human
endeavors, some people are gifted from birth, some acquire
their gifts by concentration, determination and hard work.
We can each reach a greater level of understanding and see
through the metaphysical fog that separates the earthly reality
from the spiritual reality if we take the time to pray and
meditate. When we do this, we begin to achieve peace because
we do not become so focused on the earthly reality that we
are confused into thinking that the earthly reality is the
true reality.
Through the metaphysical fog sometimes we can see clearly
and sometimes we can see dimly. But the fact that we see at
all reminds us that there is more to our existence than the
ever present tangible reality and all its barriers.
Peace comes in knowing that our reality is not as solid
as we think and that we are spiritual beings from a spiritual
dimension temporarily residing in a human body that allows
us to distinguish time and space and to intensely experience
a distinguished universe of positive and negative, of light
and darkness.
LIFE
The purpose of life is to be. The
purpose of life is to live, to experience, to be.
The purpose
of life is not to be diseased or sad and it is not to be endlessly
overjoyed or to, without interruption, experience any of the
other human emotions or conditions. The purpose of life is
to simply be.
One should
move through the consciousness of this reality as a dimension
traveler; participate, observe, experience. The time will
soon come when we will each leave this reality and enter into
another reality. Everything is as it should be. If things
were different, we would not be here, we would be in some
other reality.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that we can live in peace if we will flow
with life and if we do not try to fight it. Life is not something
to be battled or endured.
Inner peace
comes when we participate, observe, experience and move
through life in harmony with the natural rhythm of the earth
and in sync
with the Infinite Potential; knowing that we exist within
the Infinite,
perpetual essence of God.
ABORTION
The overwhelming
majority of human beings believe they have a spirit. And that
spirit is connected to their human body.
There is a
spiritual dimension to this reality and that spiritual dimension
is tangible but barely so. Whereas the human body appears
to be solid, the spiritual body appears to be less than a
wisp of smoke. There is no doubt but at conception the spirit
connects with the human body. It seems logical that this metaphysical
connection is probably located in the human brain but there
is probably a second significant connection with the heart.
When the spirit
connects with the human body, it begins to program the human
body with the memories and skills that it needs to accomplish
its goals in the coming human life. There is no time in the
spiritual realm and so the spirit can draw from both past
lives and future lives as it programs its human vehicle. This
is difficult for a logical linear mindset to comprehend.
In this earthly
dimension one thing follows the other in time. And so it is
impossible for a logical linear human mind to comprehend that
the future may coexist in the same time frame as the past
and the present; to consider that within the now exists the
past and the future.
In time, science
will find the specific connection point where the spirit attaches
to the human mind.
Abortion is
a choice by the mother of the embryo to terminate the pregnancy.
What she is terminating is the human body, the embryo and
not the spirit. The spirit is immortal and infinite and cannot
die because it was never born. So to abort an embryo changes
the dynamics of what would have happened if the attached spirit
was born to the mother but it will really change nothing in
the universe.
The mother
has a choice to abort or not to abort the embryo. That choice
will move the future for the spirit of the mother and the
embryo to an alternative future path. But in the Infinite
Potential both paths coexist. So both the spirit of the mother
and the embryo continue on down multiple paths as do all souls.
However the spirit choses which path it will be conscious
of. So in other words, both futures exist but the spirit will
only be conscious of one by choice.
Abortion in
the human realm carries with it a lot of emotional chaos,
particularly for the mother. And the spirit is also affected.
However an infinite immortal spirit can chose to be conscious
of the non abortion path and the mother can choose to be conscious
of the abortion path to the future. This is the result of
the infinite capacity of the Infinite Potential and the merging
of all pasts and futures into the now.
This is a very
difficult if not impossible concept for a human beings to
accept if that human being is confused in the tangible universe
and therefore locked into a mindset that the spiritual dimension
also functions on a logical linear cosmology. It does not.
There is no time, no space, no duality in the spiritual dimension.
The only way
to deal with this is for the human to know that the way things
are are in the spiritual dimension are not the same way they
are in the earthly dimension and leave it at that. The only
way to experience the spiritual dimension and know the truth
of this is for the spirit to disconnect from its human host.
Life is very
short for the human body. All human bodies die. The difference
to infinity of death after a month as a fetus and death after
a lifetime of one hundred years is truly insignificant. I
do not advocate abortion because in a secular society it has
criminal and social repercusssions. But from the spiritual
perspective abortion is meaningless and is a timing issue
only. All human beings die. Abortion does not effect the life
of an infinite immortal spirit.
SEX
We each have
a primal sexual drive that cannot be legislated or moralized
away.
Women are not
property.
The biological
nature of human beings is that of two sexes. Virtually every
creature on the earth is divided into male and female and
to procreate they must come together.
Even though
society encourages procreation in order to perpetuate itself,
it simultaneously attempts to control sexual relationships
in order to promote social order.
Societies pass
laws to try to eliminate the potential individual conflicts
that result from sexual attraction. For instance, societies
designate certain individuals as legally married and punish
those who would interfere with that relationship. However,
no law can put an end to the primal sexual drive which very
often focuses outside the marriage.
Marriage is
also a means whereby society attempts to distribute wealth
in an orderly manner. There are many logical reasons to have
sexual laws. The majority of these laws relate to the elimination
of chaos and conflict in a secular society.
However, the
fact remains that sexual attraction is neither logical nor
intellectual. Sex between human beings is a highly emotionally
charged
experience. Few humans come together simply to produce children.
Humans come together sexually as a result of emotional needs
and biological drives. Sex is one of the strongest human impulses.
Sex has little
to do with logic. When the attraction is great enough between
humans, no potential sacrifice of status or power or the incurring
of social prejudice or criminal punishment can deter it.
In addition,
a person's sexual preference generally has little to do with
his or her overall contributions to society. Creative men
and women are both celibate and promiscuous, heterosexual,
bi-sexual and homosexual.
Further, a
certain percentage of society has always been homosexual and
that will never change. All the prejudice and legislation
in the world will never end it. It is a need inherent in some
individuals.
A certain percentage
of society will always be polygamous. A person
may be legally married but extramarital affairs create a polygamous
reality.
We need to
stop trying to legislate the morality of sexual attraction
with the exception of adult/child relationships and rape.
No adult should be allowed to sexually influence a child or
to sexually force themselves upon another.
Sexual attraction
is emotional and biological and it can never be successfully
legislated by social or religious institutions. We need to
enact liberal laws that allow people who are attracted to
each other live the life that is congruent with their emotional
needs.
When emotional
needs are satisfied, an individual has a better chance of
achieving inner peace and harmony and, consequently, society
has a better chance of achieving peace between its members.
There is no sexual
distinction in heaven, the spiritual realm because it serves
no purpose. Souls cannot create other souls. So there is not
need for sex. There is no need for male and female.
Peace comes when
we acknowledge that sex is a necessary aspect of continuing
the species. Therefore the drive to procreate is overwhelming
on earth. It does not exists in the spiritual dimension. It
is one of the reasons that souls incarnate. Sex is an aspect
of human secular society that needs to be regulated in order
to maintain the peace. But sex with regards to heaven is irrelevant.
People who were married on earth will have no need to be married
in heaven. In the spiritual realm, all souls are free standing
independent beings without the ability to procreate.
Inner peace
comes in the knowing that it is all right to pursue our sexual
preferences and no one in society can, in good conscience,
judge another for satisfying his or her innate sexual needs
which are a unique, indivisible, biological and emotional
part of each and every one of us.
WOMEN
The reality is
that women are second class citizens the world over.
There is no
logical basis for continuing to discriminate against women.
Women are not property, nor are they inferior to men. Women
as a whole are generally physically weaker than men but that
is not a valid reason to subordinate women in any society.
Men and women are complements of each other and the sooner
that women are allowed to assume an equal role in society,
the sooner we will have a whole society.
When the yoke
of frustration due to sexual prejudice is removed from the
backs of women and they are granted a truly equal status in
society, a great wave of inner peace among women will harmonize
the earth with the love and nurturing which is their nature
and their collective love will counter-balance the innate
aggressiveness of the masculine orientation which presently
dominates the planet.
Inner peace
comes to women when they are allowed an equal status in society.
20 LOVE
We can love any number of people equally and totally and
we have the capacity to love every person on the planet.
The most basic
example of human love in this reality is the mutual love of
our parents, our spouse and our children.
One facet of
this love is that we can love two parents totally and equally.
If we have more than one child, we can love them each totally
and equally. In other words, if we have five children, they
do not each receive one-fifth of our total love. They each
receive 100% of our love.
In fact, if
we think about it, we do not divide our love between our parents,
our spouse and our children. They all receive all the love
that we have without reducing our total capacity to love one
single bit. We love them totally and not as a percent of totality.
However, if
we generalize to an elementary example like polygamy, we
refuse to acknowledge that a man can love two women or that
a woman can love two men. To further generalize, we tend to
believe that no one can love everyone the same. We believe
that only God has the capacity to totally love us all. These
beliefs are false.
Another facet
of love is that when we love someone, we make allowances for
their behavior which irritates us or makes us mad. If our
loved ones hurt us, we tend to forgive them or ignore their
behavior because we love them.
However, we
apply a different standard of love to our parents, our spouse,
our children and even our close friends than we do to everyone
else. We overlook the faults and negative conduct of our loved
ones because of our love for them. But we generally refuse
to overlook the same conduct in others.
We seem to
have a very difficult time applying the same standard of love
that we have for parents, spouse, children and friends to
the rest of society even though every human being on the planet,
in truth, is possibly someone's parent or spouse, is definitely
someone's child and is probably someone's best friend.
Why do we not
treat everyone the same? Why do we draw lines that
separate us from the majority of society? And how can we justify
treating others like alien beings?
When we forget
that we are infinite immortal spiritual beings who are at
one with God and at one with each other, we lose the ability
to love ourselves. Loving ourselves becomes easy when we look
inside ourselves and remember our oneness. When we remember
that we are at one with all of Creation, we flow in the peace
and harmony of God's infinite, unconditional love which is
the essence of our being.
Inner peace
comes when we begin to see other people as our parents, our
spouse, our children and our friends.
Inner peace
comes when we apply the same standard of total love to
everyone, refrain from judging them and forgive their unkind
words and
deeds.
PERCEPTION
OF
DUALITY
GOOD AND EVIL
TIME
NO AGE IN HEAVEN
SPACE
DEATH
Our souls release our finite mortal bodies in death.
All of humanity
is mortal. For each life there is a death. Each of us is
conceived by mortal parents, birthed from the womb of our
mother, and
we each cease to exist in this reality on the average of 75
years later.
Death terminates
human existence in this reality without bias or prejudice
to the rich or poor, to the literate or illiterate, to the
famous or infamous, to the honorable or deceitful, to the
young or old, to the great achievers or non-achievers.
Death is the
great equalizer that separates our souls from our mortal bodies
and returns our spiritual essence to the great peace of the
spiritual dimension.
We each enter
into this reality in the body of a helpless baby and we leave
behind a rigid corpse. We come into this reality naked and
alone and we travel through death's door one at a time.
The overwhelming
majority of humanity believes that every body has a
soul and that each soul survives the death of the body. The
soul is considered immortal and infinite; a part of God before
birth and a part of God after death.
The human body
is thought to be no more than a temporary residence for the
soul. However, believing this, we still tend to live as if
the body is immortal and, consequently, as if its status and
power on earth are everlasting.
When we consider
the Infinite Potential and the immortality of the soul
and the brief life of the body in relation to Infinity, we
quickly realize
that it is the harmony of the spiritual dimentsion and the
Infinite Potential with which we must synchronize ourselves
if we are to achieve true inner peace and increase the level
of peace in the world human society.
When we associate
ourselves too closely with the primal nature of the
earth, where the strong generally victimize the weak, we become
out of
sync with our immortal essence and live a life of material
gratification
which leaves us unsatisfied, except in the very short term,
and in constant search of the inner peace that lies eternally
within our souls.
When we harmonize
our bodies with the earth which nurtures them and
then synchronize our bodies with our souls which are in constant
harmony with the Infinite Potential, we begin to create an
earthly reality that mirrors the Infinite Potential and consequently
we begin to live in peace.
It is impossible
for a human being to live in harmony with the earth and
be in sync with the Infinite Potential and at the same time
consider
victimizing another human being; much less turn a deaf ear
on the great
suffering of humanity as it calls out in its great pain.
Inner peace
comes in the acceptance of the fact that our bodies will wear
out but our souls will not cease to exist when our bodies
die.
Inner peace
comes when we synchronize our bodies with the harmony
of our immortal souls.
EUTHANSIA
As the human body
ages, it deteriorates with the eventual loss of sight, hearing,
taste, smell as well as the lost of the strength of the body
and in time the ability to think clearly.
If one lives long
enough one loses any sense of a quality of life and generally
becomes a burden on family and friends if not the government.
There comes a time when euthansia becomes a relevant decision.
Religions are against
euthansia because they want to retain their power by increasing
the fear of death. Death is nothing to be feared. If anything
the fearful part of life is being born.
The body is just
a vehicle for the soul. When anything we have loses its usefulness
we discard it. When the soul can no longer function or if
the body is in constant pain due to its deterioration then
the soul has a right to exit. And this is what the soul always
does over time.
The question is whether
a soul has the right to commit suicide of the body. There
is no doubt but this is within the right of every soul.
The problem comes
when the soul does not want to die alone or cannot bring itself
to destroy its body. Yet there is no desire to live either
due to incapacity or simply pain. So the core question is
whether secular society will allow these souls to have assistance
in dying.
It seems that there
are many circumstances where a soul should be allowed assistence
in leaving life the same way assistance was needed in being
born. It may be that a person would like to die with his family
present as opposed to dying in an old age home. It would make
sense for a soul to want to have family present when it releases
itself from neverending pain.
Euthansia should
not be endorsed lightly. There are all kinds of tests that
could be carried out by doctors and psychologists and religionists
to make sure that a person is really ready to leave this reality.
Peace comes when
we do not force human beings to live in pain or continue to
be a burden to friend, family and society in general. A soul
has a right to die. The soul should have the right to an assisted
suicide. A right to exit its body with dignity.
Again it is important
to understand that all human beings die. Also, souls cannot
die. Therefore it is a matter of timing and nothing else.
AS
ABOVE SO BELOW
Humans beings are spirits incarnate in human body which makes
it appear to be alive.
In the book of Genesis it says that God made man in his image.
And in the book of Revelation it says that there were wars
in heaven between Satan and God. Heaven is not a perfect place.
Heaven is a tangible mirror image of a barely tangible spiritual
dimension both residing within the Infinite Potential.
If you want to know how spirits relate in heaven, look at
how human beings related to each other on earth.
In the movies the same themes of love and hate play out in
numerous genres. Cowboy love and love between astronauts.
Love on the sea and love in the desert. War in Africa and
war in Europe.
Love on earth and love in heaven are the same in different
dimensions. The constant is the infinite immortal spirit whose
personality is the same in all dimensions.
Heaven is not a place of perfect peace. If that were so all
spirits would be non interacting blocks of stone. When spirits
interact there is disharmony and chaos not peace.
If you want to know how spirits react in heaven, look around
at how humans interact with each other.
WORLD HUMAN SOCIETY
Human beings
have become a world society and, consequently, we must treat
all the inhabitants of the world as if they are a part of
our local community.
We each belong
to several societies simultaneously. We belong to a family,
a city or town, a nation, the world and generally to a religious
philosophy, to name a few.
However, our
membership in most of the societies to which we belong is
generally involuntary. We are born in a particular place,
which automatically subjects us to the laws of a particular
city or town, state and nation.
From our parents
we generally inherit a religious philosophy. We have
little choice regarding this religious philosophy until we
mature to an
understanding that there are alternative religious philosophies
which
may more closely harmonize with our individual personalities.
Each society
has a set of rules which specifically dictates acceptable
and
unacceptable behavior for the members of that society. These
rules are
generally classified as laws and these laws evolve over time.
As a society's needs change, so do the laws. This is a natural
process.
As humanity
developed and populations increased, families grouped
together into clans, clans grouped together into towns, towns
grouped
together into states, and states grouped together into nations.
Each time smaller units come together as a larger unit, a
new social order comes into existence which considers the
needs of all the various sub-units. This a complex process
and slow-moving if done peacefully. If done by aggression,
it can be achieved quickly but with great and lasting trauma.
We have now
reached a point in the world economy where nations have
become interdependent and these interdependencies are increasing
in
number daily. These interdependencies will reduce the possibility
of war
because a nation tends not to declare war on those nations
who buy
significant goods from it nor does it make war on nations
who have the
ability to cut off its source of vital goods. Wars between
nations will soon disappear because war will be detrimental
to national economies and consequently to the individual members
of those nations as it manifests as unemployment and its legacy
social unrest.
As the world
continues to become more economically interdependent, a
World Government will slowly gain power because only a World
Government can arbitrate between nations if war is not an
alternative.
The United Nations is the embryo of that World Government.
We are one
race of human beings and the time is soon coming when we
will no longer be able to exclusively enjoy the abundance
of certain areas
of the world simply because we were born there. In very simple
terms, no nation with food and energy reserves will be allowed
to let the people of another nation go without. This is the
foundation of WorldPeace.
What will eventually
manifest is an opportunity for an overall minimum
standard of living worldwide. This will not happen overnight,
but we must accept its inevitability and try to move toward
it peacefully and not use our national power to prolong its
manifestation. Is the death of even one child in a war for
nationalism anything more than a sacrificial waste of human
life and the reinforcement and perpetuation of national prejudices
and hatreds?
We are on the
road to a world government because we have become a
world society. It is our most common social denominator and
it is inevitable. Acceptance of this reality promotes peace;
rejection manifests
everything but peace.
Inner peace
comes when we embrace the whole of humanity as one
and harmonize with it.
Inner peace
comes when we embrace the world community and do not
separate ourselves from it.
RACE
We really belong to only one race and that is the human race.
No generalizations
can be made about race except that different races have different
skin colors and physical attributes. Intelligence, goodness
and badness know no racial boundaries. There is absolutely
no combination of human traits that does not exist in every
single race. Every person of every race has a counterpart
in every other race.
Negative generalized
attitudes about race are always false and without basis. Racial
prejudice is nothing more than an attempt by certain races
to remain in power and to forever racially subordinate other
human beings simply based on their physical attributes.
Any law or
any prejudice directed against any race has its basis in ignorance,
fear and the complete disregard of the knowledge that we are
all at one with God and at one with each other.
We are different
because of the societal impact on our lives and because
of our overall genetic make-up, but we are not different simply
due to our skin color or our physical attributes.
Consider the
great burden of social disharmony that will be lifted from
the planet when we truly fail to notice a person's race. Consider
the tremendous wave of peace that will engulf the world when
racial prejudice vanishes.
There can never
be peace of any kind as long as we continue to distinguish
people by race, even if only in our minds.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that our skin color and our physical attributes
have nothing to do with who we are and that the baseless racial
prejudice that presently exists in the world is disappearing
as we move closer to a world society.
MONEY
Money is power and those who have power have an obligation
to help the majority of society out of its misery.
Money is basically
a medium of exchange. It allows us to buy particular
things without having to barter for them.
Money gravitates
to those who provide services that are valued by society.
It also gravitates to the strong who victimize the weak.
Inherent in
wealth is a social responsibility. It is society that has
allowed
wealth to gravitate to certain human beings and those human
beings consequently have an obligation to society. Each person
must decide for himself or herself how to fulfill that obligation.
There is nothing
wrong with wealth, but there is social injustice when wealth
is accumulated while the great pain of humanity cries out
for help. The powerful must not lose touch with reality by
believing that because they or their parents were able to
successfully achieve power and status in society that those
same opportunities exists for more than a very minute percentage
of the world population.
The unfortunate
of the earth place their hope of salvation in the powerful.
The hungry eyes of the world wait in patient starvation for
the relief that only the powerful can bring.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that the pursuit of materialism for its own
sake can never be satiated and that reaching out to humanity
creates a sense of inner peace with which the accumulation
of material goods can never compare.
EDUCATION
Education increases the knowledge and understanding of individuals
in society regarding the many aspects of the world in which
they live.
Education introduces
a person to the many varied customs and beliefs that exist
in the world. It creates a foundation for mutual understanding
between different societies and, consequently, furthers the
unity of humanity and promotes peace.
Education enables
a person to understand history so that the mistakes of
the past, hopefully, will not be repeated. It allows one to
avoid war by knowing the causes of war. It allows one to travel
the road to peace by using knowledge and understanding to
distinguish the road to peace from the road to war.
It also enables
humanity to perceive the causes of social problems and
then to find solutions to those problems. And it allows us
to refine our social institutions and philosophies in order
to create a more perfect society.
Education also
prevents individuals from being manipulated due to their
lack of knowledge and understanding. It gives one the ability
to determine for himself or herself the truth and value of
words and ideas proposed by others.
Inner peace
comes with an understanding of our relationship to our society
and the universe. It comes when one feels capable of evaluating
the many actions and events that daily affect one's life.
GREED PURSUE
SELF INTERESTS
CORPORATIONS AND THOSE WHO OWN THEM AND THOSE WHO DONT
WAR
War is, in reality,
one human being murdering another human being.
War is generally
defined as armed conflict between nations, but it is individual
human beings who do the actual murdering and the dying.
War is one
man murdering one woman, one woman murdering one man, one
man murdering one man, one woman murdering one woman, one
child murdering one adult, one adult murdering one child.
War is one human being murdering another human being.
Whatever the
stated causes of war, the truth is that it is nothing more
than the sacrifice of our children. It is our children who
we allow to be murdered in war and their families must then
live with an inconsolable sorrow. How can this be acceptable
to anyone?
War is the
result of frustrations in a society that comes to believe
that there is no other solution to a particular social problem.
No nation goes to war with clean hands. No nation murders
on the battlefield with justification.
Powerful nations
murder because they think they can get away with it. They
may impose their will on the survivors, but they simultaneously
sow the seeds of future wars. The thought that murder is a
solution to social disagreements is tragically laughable.
How can we
delude ourselves into believing that if a person lives next
door to us, he has the same rights as we do, but if he lives
in a foreign land, his life has no value? Is human value,
in truth, based upon the physical location of one's home?
We are all
God's children and we are each at one with each other. The
murder of anyone sends irrevocable and intolerable vibrations
throughout
the world. The legacy of violence is always more violence
and the legacy of war is always more war.
We are at one
with God and at one with each other and we can never justify
the murder of any human being. Words like justice or God's
will can never justify the great tragedy of humanity murdering
itself.
As members
of a world society, we must embrace the great moral condemnation
of murder as the legacy of war. There is no victory in war
without murder and there can never be victory of any kind
with murder.
Inner peace
comes in the knowing that when we all accept each and every
human being as our neighbor, not only will we refuse to murder
anyone, we will never have to concern ourselves that our life's
blood, our children, will be murdered by anyone else.
RELIGION
metaphors
When religions remind us that our immortal, infinite souls
are at one with God, they bequeath inner peace to human beings
who are caught up in the materialism of the world. When religions
dictate laws which make us fear God and encourage us to avoid
those who do not belong to our particular religion, they promote
judgment, disharmony, intolerance, prejudice, hatred and war.
All of the
dominant religions are masculine in their orientation. There
is
not one major feminine oriented religion. World Peace can
never manifest as long as the subordination of women is advocated
and practiced by the dominant religions of the world.
Formal religions,
as we know them, define the universe in terms that we can
conceive and believe. They define the universe in terms of
what we know and what we can potentially understand. Through
doctrine and dogma, they institutionalize a system of attitudes
and beliefs claimed to be God-given truths, even though written
by men.
Christians
define the universe and God in terms of Christian doctrine
and
dogma, just as each religion defines the universe and God
in the terms of
its own unique beliefs.
Each religion
tends to believe that it is the sole possessor of the Truth.
Each refuses to acknowledge that it is just taking a turn
at understanding
the universe. Each refuses to believe that its doctrine and
dogma is just a
belief system no more or less valid than the belief system
of any other religion.
Each religion
defines all the followers of the other religions as infidels
and marks those infidels as fair game for genocide, at the
worst, and bars them from its heaven, at the least.
When one contemplates
the Infinite Potential, one quickly concludes that
no religion defines a credible universe, much less a common
denominator of
Truth for inner peace and peaceful co-existence that has stood
the test when applied to the earth. In fact, it seems that
humanity's belief in God,
when filtered through institutionalized religion and its teachings,
has been undeniably linked with senseless bloodshed and holy
wars to convert or expunge the non-believers from the earth.
We are at one
with the earth, with the universe, with God and with each
other. We are always at one with God, yet we have ignored
this. We have put on blinders in the form of religious doctrine,
dogma and law which in many ways separate us from this One
Great Truth.
The Truth is
that, at every moment, in every dimension, we are at one with
God and at one with each other. This is the only legitimate
message of any religion, and any message, doctrine, dogma
or act beyond the communication of this One Great Truth is
only social commentary and
nothing more than the attempted enslavement of humanity if
alleged to
be God's law.
Any judgment
or any act by any religion, no matter how seemingly insignificant,
which judges, condemns, punishes or rebukes a person, no
matter what his or her alleged sin against God, is an affront
to all of
humanity. The act may be a crime against society or it may
even be a
transgression against a particular religious institution,
but it is absolutely not a sin against God.
Transient social
and religious laws apply only to the physical body. It is
nonsense to believe that social and religious laws apply to
an immortal,
infinite soul which is at every moment at one with an immortal,
infinite God.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that we are at one with God and that one
of the darkest legacies of religion has been to wrongfully
instruct us that all of humanity is not equal in God's eyes.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that we can ignore institutionalized religion
without, for one moment, losing our immortal, infinite, unconditional
oneness with God.
SIN
Sin is no more
than the breaking of the laws of a religious institution.
Sin is defined
by the Oxford English Dictionary as "a violation of some
religious or moral principle."
It is not against
any law to kiss your children in public. But if a society
of which you are a member enacts such a law, then it would
be a crime to kiss your children in public. If a religion
dictates such a law, it would be a sin to kiss your children
in public.
Before you
can have sin, you must have a religious law prohibiting some
act. Therefore, if there are no religious laws, there can
be no sin. I repeat if there are no religious laws, there
can be no sin.
If there are
no religious laws then the only laws that are left are social
laws. The breaking of social law is criminal and socially
punishable but it is not sinful and certainly not damning
to the soul by any definition.
God may, in
fact, divinely inspire the writing of social and religious
laws to better order society. But it is nonsense to believe
that God would waste one moment writing a law, the violation
of which would mean the potential unmitigated, eternal damnation
of the soul of the lawbreaker who is truly an immortal, infinite
part of God and of every other human being who ever existed.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that religious laws are written by men in
order to perpetuate some religious institution and that one
can only sin
against the religious institution, not against God.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that God's love for us is unconditional and
we can never sin against God because we are always at one
with God.
KARMA
Karma is a
metaphor that tries to make us believe that we must balance
every negative act we commit.
Karma is an
attempt to sort out the reasons why things happen to us. "Why
am I the one who experienced this?" is the riddle Karma
attempts to solve.
Karma generally
defines a belief system whereby our sins of the flesh, our
mortal shortcomings in the material world, must be accounted
for. We must be killed if we kill, to be very simplistic.
Karma allows
a killer to avoid being killed if, by grace, he or she comes
to truly understand what he or she has done, so that it is
not necessary to be killed in order to balance the scales
of Karma.
Karma is just
another one of our belief systems in which we try to project
into the mind of God a way in which we can enter into God's
presence.
The truth is
that when one kills, he or she is sometimes punished by society,
and that is as it should be. It is the law of most societies
that to kill one of your own is punishable.
The laws of
a society are the laws created by the members of that society.
If you break those laws, you must pay the defined punishment
for your transgressions. This is necessary for the preservation
of society but it is certainly not necessary for the continuation
of the Infinite Potential.
The Infinite
Potential does not adhere to society's rules. If a man is
killed, it does not mean that the killing is punishable in
the eyes of God. It is possible that both the killer and the
killed have agreed to come into this reality for the purpose
of staging a death in order to help teach others a lesson
by their act; and not necessarily to balance the scales of
Karma
because their roles were reversed in some prior lifetime.
Infinity is
not interested in keeping an account of every transgression
of
each individual soul. The soul is its own scorekeeper. Each
soul is its own infinite universe. Each is at one with God.
Each is at one with each other. And each soul is unfolding
as it should.
Lastly, and
most importantly, how can we possibly know if any act is one
of balancing Karma or one of creating Karma?
Inner peace
comes when we realize that it is impossible to live in this
physical reality without creating negative acts at every moment.
Not sharing our food while someone goes without food anywhere
on the earth is a negative act.
Inner peace
comes in knowing that we can never balance Karma and that
we do not need to concern ourselves with it because we are
at one with God no matter what we do. We cannot separate ourselves
from God even if we wanted to.
REINCARNATION
Reincarnation is a metaphor that attempts to have us believe
that we must reincarnate in order to achieve an eventual oneness
with God.
Many believe
in reincarnation as the constant re-entry of a soul into a
new body. Reincarnation is taught as a necessity for eventual
oneness with God. Reincarnation is a school to which one goes
in order to receive a certificate of perfection that allows
one to be, at some point, at one with God.
Our logical
minds never stop striving to create some kind of fiction that
will give us the hope of heaven. It is man who has conceived
of the reincarnation metaphor as a way to heaven. Man has
created reincarnation in order to achieve that which he already
possesses, a oneness with God.
In truth, one
enters this physical reality as many times as he or she desires.
That is all. One comes because one comes. One comes and one
experiences.
I am conscious
of this time and place for reasons that I cannot begin to
understand. But I know that I have not become conscious of
this reality
for the same reasons that I may take a math course in order
to graduate
from high school. I do not need this lifetime to be at one
with God.
We are all
a part of the Infinite Potential. We are all a part of God.
We are all a part of each other. So it is, has always been
and so it will always be.
In all dimensions,
on all levels and in all realities we are at one with God.
Everything is as it should be and we are in this reality because
we wish to be. Our reasons for being here are a part of our
individual souls and can be remembered and understood if we
will simply look inside ourselves.
We may in fact
reincarnate, but not as a test or a condition of eventual
oneness with God.
Inner peace comes in knowing that we are already perfect and
at one with God and that reincarnation is a choice, not a
requirement.
ATTACHMENT
APOCALYPSE
PEACE
Peace comes when we remember our Oneness with God, with the
universe, with the earth and with each other.
We can achieve
peace but first, we must live. We must treat the earth as
the provider of life. As we destroy more and more of the earth,
we may
soon reach a point where the earth cannot renew itself. As
we have created deserts where there were once forests, we
could create a desert planet where there was once life.
Second, we
are all equal as human beings. We each have a different level
of power on earth, yet, in spirit, we are all children of
the same God. We have each chosen a path to follow in this
reality. We each have our chosen stations in society. Yet,
in the eyes of God, we are all immortal, infinite spiritual
children of equal birth.
Therefore,
let us each respect the spirit in each other. We may not be
able to love our brothers and sisters, but we must at least
acknowledge their immortality and our oneness with them.
There are many
hard decisions which we must make each day regarding
our treatment of our fellow human beings. Many times circumstances
are such that we or they will have to suffer. Yet, we must
consider whether our actions can be delayed or performed differently
out of respect for the immortal, infinite spirit which resides
in each of us.
It is true
that everything is as it should be. But this should not prevent
us from trying to create a more perfect world. There is much
to do and it may take millennia but we have come to this time
and place with a purpose.
We must realize
that we are doing that which we have chosen to do and
our fellow beings are doing the same.
We are here
to be, to remember, to experience, to consider all sides of
the events which present themselves to us each day and to
find solutions that will leave the earth a better place because
we walked upon it and society more peaceful because we participated
in it.
Know that we
are moving toward a perfect day, no matter how far away in
time, when we will have solved the problems of our relationship
with each other, our relationships with the earth, our relationship
with our universe and our relationship with God. We are moving
toward a perfect day when inner peace and peaceful co-existences
a reality.
Inner peace
comes with knowing that when peace becomes our priority,
WorldPeace will become our reality.
