The Making of New Age Man, Chapter VII, Cont2

The Desire for Harmony

In my July 9^th post, "A Message to World Changers," I wrote, "We have no idea of the power that lies within us," and finished that piece with a James Allen quote, "that mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and outer garment of circumstance, and that they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness."

We are the lords of our own well-being. "My fruit is better than gold" (Proverbs 8:19), "that I may cause those who love me to inherit substance" (Proverbs 8:21). Is "I" not you and I? Rather than in Heaven, God lives in our hearts and souls. Earthly authorities don't give. Their's is fools gold. They are stealing the "I" in you and I and giving the substance of life to themselves.

How can you who have read about my two years of cruising in the Bermuda Triangle say that I have not rescued others; that God has not rescued me? No, you don't read my story; you read stories of lost lives. Oh ye of little faith! What faith is higher than faith in self? Does God not live in us? God helps those who help themselves.

A doubting Thomas Gaia member I asked to be my friend wrote back, "What can I do for you?" For you doubters, James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy, in an astrological reading on me, on an audio tape, said, "As you get in touch with your inner energy and start to get in touch with your higher self, you will be guided into how to find that true work expression. It will be shown to you intuitively. This becomes the way you uplift everyone who comes into your life. When you evolve into your higher self you energize those who cross your path. This becomes your greatest talent."

We don't know why, but the stars are not lying about me. It all fits like a hand in a glove. I imagine that it isn't the stars. They are merely moving in obedience to a higher order than any of us know. It is utterly impossible that we could be accidents of nature, that life as we know it could be possible in a hostile universe without a force from beyond our limited understanding of the physical universe.

It's not that we don't have lots of evidence of the makeup of the universe. Quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker, in The Physics of Consciousness, informs us:

"Beginning with the myths of and superstitions of antiquity, we have followed a path of discovery into the modern age of scientific understanding, and we helped to open the door to new reams of science. . . We first see that objective reality is a flawed and incomplete conception of reality. We find that what we had thought was an independent and objective physical world is in fact contingent on the observer, on our combined consciousness, in a most basic way."

Pythagoras, said to be the father of modern mathematics, studied under Egyptian priests. He is remembered for his theorem, the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Quantum physicist Walker, from his study of the microcosmic, wrote in The Physics of Consciousness, "Look again at the three-squares in Figure 8.1. What we have constructed is the standard figure from the Pythagorean theorem. . . Thus we have a simple graphical way of showing how many photons (in any time interval) will pass through a pair of Polaroid filters at any angle-and also how many will be stopped."

Walker is writing about his Bell's theorem experiment. He informs us that photons instantaneously communicate, and furthermore, communicate, once connected, no matter if separated by light years. It is an indisputable fact. It doesn't question Einstein's proof that the ultimate speed limit is the speed of light. It merely make the statement that there is more than the physical universe to consider.

It has been offered as a possible explanation for disappearing aircraft and ships that time warps exist in the Bermuda Triangle. I found myself where I could not possibly have been. I was in a storm. I should have been far to the north of my destination. Instead I was at my destination at my estimated time of arrival. Not all ships disappear in time warps. You just read about those that mysteriously disappear.

On one occasion during my time at sea, I mentally picked up on three scuba divers who got caught in an ocean current and were miles from their dive boat. I sailed straight to them. Since there is no explanation, we don't talk about it. We call it anecdotal-based on incidental observation rather than on systematic evaluation. And why this? It has to do with epistemology, a branch of philosophy that investigates the origin, nature , methods, and limits of human knowledge.

What have I been telling you? The authorities compartmentalize. I tell you that your conscious awareness is without limits. I tell you that you've got to look within for your answers. I saved three lives by a power in me. What else but the consciousness of the universe working in me? Why me? During a very tough period in my life, I had a bigger than life calling. My wife thought I needed to see a shrink. She had no faith in me. It changed my life for the better. I don't know about her life. She is history. I have someone who has faith in me. Presently, I'm one of you. Take me or leave me.

Einstein quipped that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is incomprehensible. Why is that? The physical sciences don't answer the deeper, more fundamental questions my mind addresses. First, understand that my mind isn't in my brain. It is a total waste of time to try to comprehend the universe with a mind in the brain idea. The aim here isn't to degrade mind to meathead, but to account for our state of mental awareness. Science knows precious little about our mentality because it is not physical. It can't be measured and weighed.

Imagine being mindless. Nothing would exist. Imagine a single mind in the universe. What if there was only one computer? It would serve no purpose. We possess conscious awareness. Our purpose depends on how consciously aware we are. We have the right and responsibility to ask why our mentality asks why it exists. And who should we ask? The establishment has paradigm limitations. The pressure is building for a great change. 

Change  is going to come with a zap: everything you've been taught will be null and void.

It has not been long, thanks to the medieval church, since the earth was the center of the universe. At Galileo's trial, Cardinal Bellarmine was heard to say, "To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin." This reminds me that the science of the past is now being confronted with quantum physics latest punch in the nose-consciousness. It is now accepted by the cutting edge as part of the mix. The classical guys remain with no way of explaining consciousness, so what do they do? They try to do the medieval thing, with a materialist's twist: we remain at the center of the universe. O.K., guys, have it your way. "A Gaia Story" hits the bulls-eye.
 

A curious thing will happen when you are in the driver's seat. You will start connecting with others. In the vastly upscaled future, you play the primary role. You are the value. Things will play a secondary role.

The "obamable" bigfoot authority is history. Limiting yourself to the world around you, living in the Pisces past, will leave you in a cloud of dust. Assume that your mind, your most sacred property, not your surroundings, is at the center of all things, and that you are connected with the super consciousness of the universe to some degree, and the degree is your choice. When you trash your paradigm limitations, when you open your mind to new ideas, you will start putting the pieces together. You'll soon be riding on the crest of the wave of the new reality sweeping across the land. You, the individual, will be empowered.  I can only speak for myself, but since joining the Gaia Community I feel connected. Were  this that I write not so in my case, I would not be writing the story of my life.
