"Traditionally, religion has looked on the world of natural science as
opposed to the world of Spirit, but paradoxically, today, it is the world of
science that is unwittingly preparing human thought for this breakthrough, by
uncovering the ephemeral nature of matter at it's basic levels, and showing
the relationship between mind and matter. This makes it easier to concieve of
a mental or a transcendent reality. Thought is more prepared to consider the
spiritual foundations of theology, and eventually to connect
with the creative governing intelligence of the universe, that we call God."
Mindpower and The Spiritual Dimension" by Richard Haw
We are all aware of the many trials and tribulations that our world is presently
experiencing. Evil, in the form of pollution, crime,
hatred, greed, and moral decline, seems to be increasing in proportion to the
current materialistic outlook. It would seem then that the remedy for these
ills is not more materialism, but a looking away from matter towards Spirit,
towards the true nature of our relationship to the Infinite Source of All Being.
This wouldn't mean that we ignore our present basic material needs but when
we turn to the "Divine Mind", the
Collective Conciousness, or Spirit (God), whatever term one wants to use,
then, and only then will we find true, practical and lasting solutions which
would benefit everyone involved. I've
seen this principle demonstrated and therefore know it to be true.
Einstein once said that anyone studying physics long enough is inevitably led
into metaphysics.
The original Webster's Dictionary defines metaphysics as the science of the
principles and causes of all things existing; hence, the science of mind or
intelligence.
Christ was the greatest metaphysician. Through his miracles he proved the supremacy
of Spirit over matter. He showed us by
His works that there are spiritual laws, which are above material laws, that
govern the universe , and when understood, they can be demonstrated as dependable,
practical and absolute.
Quantum physics has come to the realization that , basically, there is no matter.
It is believed that the seeming reality of our material world is nothing more
than the extension or manifestation of our thinking [Correction, of God's thinking].
Thought produces energy and energy produces mass. Several great religions have
acknowledged this concept all along. Now, physics is coming to the same conclusions.
Sir James Jeans wrote "We live in a gossamer universe; pattern, plan and
design are there in abundance, but solid substance is rare." "Even
the elements of the atom itself are only waves of energy void of solid substance.
The particles of the atom have no more tangible substance than a thought or
a feeling. Gradually matter as a solid thing, has vanished from our concept
of the universe - replaced by a basic atomic unit, composed of space and non
material charges of energy. This non material nature of the atom is a most essential
point in relating the physical universe to the Spiritual Dimension." "The
Spiritual Dimension"....by Ann Beals
A friend once said to me, "Piece by piece, everything human beings have
trusted is being revealed as completely untrustworthy: governments (services),
finance (capital), industries (goods), schools, media, entertainment, medicine,
etc. Everything with which we use to organize socially and politically is being
stripped of value and rendered useless for anything but control
through intimidation, coercion and indoctrination.
We will have nothing upon which to rely for self preservation or social
and political identity. Everything
that humanity has willed into being is being used to ensnare us into consenting
to slavery. We can not "will" this situation away. We
can only surrender to God.
We can only empty our will to God's will,
to God's Love and allow God's love to transform us. Once we are transformed
with God at the concious center of our lives, the world and it's affairs will
be transformed by the energy of love, which is infinite and always there.
So , this is our task: to surrender our
will, to allow God's love to fill us and overflow into our world. This and
this alone is how the world is changed. "
It is clear to me that our world needs a different approach. This approach,
that many are recommending, is not some ethereal head in the clouds type of
approach but it is the same potent and loving approach demonstrated by Christ
Jesus. He certainly wasn't wishy washy in his methods. He commanded the waves
to be still and the storm to cease. He did cast out the money
changers in the temple. He raised the dead. He healed withered limbs, fed
the five thousand with only a few loaves and fishes, turned water into wine
and passed through angry crowds unseen. He said "I of mine own self can
do nothing, it is the Father in heaven that doeth the works"....and again,
promised that we could do the same. The same power that was available to Him,
is available to all mankind throughout all eternity. I believe this was one
of Christ's most profound teachings to humanity. Many feel that Christ's crucifixion
was not an example of defeat but that his resurrection
was the supreme demonstration of the unreality of matter. He proved that Life
is eternal and doesn't depend on material circumstances.
There is concern today that because we are seemingly composed of energy or certain
types of frequencies, that our true nature can be manipulated ( through energy
weapons), by those who wish to control. If we take a step back for a moment
and look at this objectively, we will perhaps come to the conclusion that the
seeming "powers that be" are trying to create fear and that it is
really only the fear itself that we have to fear. Fear closes us off to
our connection to God.* God is spiritual. He is all good and he encompasses
ALL. "In Him we live and move and Have our being". The Bible says
we are made in His image and likeness. Therefore, we are also spiritual. Spirit
is the opposite of matter. The two are totally separate. One cannot affect the
other. In fact, if Spirit ( God ) is ALL then, like physics is now saying, there
is no matter. Therefore, even energy is a form of thought. Ultimately material
energy has no power over our true being....once we realize this. And this can
translate into protection here and now. God/Good is the only power in control...but
we have to acknowledge this, feel it and know it before we can see it becoming
evident in our experience.
* Fear is the mind-killer, it is the little-death that leads to total obliteration. I must face my fear and let it 'Pass-over' me. I must not fear!"
Fear is Satanically-inspired and is irrefutable evidence of a lack of Faith (the word Faith is not the name for Religions, it means "Trust in God"). The more fear, the less Faith; the more Faith, the less fear
I would like to close with several paragraphs from "The Spiritual Dimension"
by Ann Beals
" I began my search during the gentle world of the fifties - a world that
has since given way to revolutionary changes. A new society has emerged, one
that has shattered the values and ethics of the past, overturned educational
and cultural patterns, changed business, government and economy. While we recognize
that many of these changes threaten the future of humanity, there appears to
be no solutions to them. There are no simple or immediate answers to the complex
problems we face. But this does not mean there are no answers. In time we will
discover that an understanding of the structure and content of the spiritual
dimension will provide answers to those problems that are beyond the realm of
science and technology. The discovery of this spiritual dimension marks the
end of one age and the beginning of another. This new age will meld
together science and religion into one harmonious whole, and transform the
world conciousness. It will fulfill the prophecy of John in Revelation, when
he wrote of the coming of a "new heaven and a new earth".
"I thought of this "new heaven and new earth early one morning as
I waited for the sun to rise. Outside my window there was only the silent night.
The winds whispered. The clouds drifted by. Nothing seemed to change. Then a
soft light began to dawn, outlining various forms in deep shades of gray. The
first rays of the dawn brought an iridescent glow to everything. Then the sun
rose, revealing a landscape that was beautiful, complete, perfect in every detail
- and yet so hidden in the darkness a short time ago. The change was effortless.
In this transformation, the dawn had not created a thing. It had only brought
to light that which already existed. As I watched this transformation, I thought,
"How so like the coming of this earth's Spiritual Age."
