METRON-SPEAK: APOCALYPSE NOW: THE AGE OF AQUARIUS

In honor of yesterday being December 21, the day that was supposed to be the end of things two years ago, I'm re-posting this...

SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY, QUANTUM PHYSICS AND THE QUEST FOR TRUTH

Beliefs produce energy. 

What you believe about God...what you believe about the world...what you believe about yourself...all the thoughts and beliefs that you carry with you, including your theology and your world-view, produce a particular energy around you that is affecting your life more than you realize...I certainly believe in God, but the God I believe in now isn't necessarily the one I grew up believing in (or trying to believe in, at least)...so I respect whatever you believe or don't believe about your God or your religion or your spirituality...it doesn't matter to me at all if your language of choice causes you to refer to your "Higher Power", or if you prefer to talk about your relationship with "The Universe"...you may believe in Intelligent Design, but are not comfortable with limiting the concept of a Deity/Creator to anthropomorphic dimensions or a particular gender...I get it..."Namaste"...it's all good...if you're an atheist or an agnostic, I have no problem with you, and I know I can't argue you into believing in God...but I do believe in people, and I believe in communication, and I certainly believe in love, so you're good with me, and I want to try to understand why you think like you do...

Some people have opened themselves up to the idea of God through Quantum Physics, and even believe that it proves His existence...and it arguably does just that (in an indirect way), by providing an alternative to the philosophy of materialism (or “physicalism”, if you will)...materialism is basically the main intellectual opponent of belief in God in today’s world...in a word, materialism is an atheistic philosophy that views all of reality as being reducible to matter and its interactions...it has gained influence in the modern world because many people think that it’s supported by science...in their world-view physics has shown the material world to be a closed system of cause and effect, sealed off from the influence of any non-physical, or un-seen (metaphysical) realities, if any actually exist...in that particular line of thinking, since our minds and thoughts obviously do affect the physical world, it would seem to follow that they are themselves merely physical phenomena...no room for a spirit-realities or soul-realities...

There was a time not so long ago when no self-respecting scientist would allow for spiritually as an answer to anything, and spiritual or religious people generally prided themselves in being intentionally non-scientific...but that is fast changing in this great Apocalypse (Unveiling), in large part because of Quantum Mechanics...this discipline/science/ideology throws a monkey wrench into the simplistic mechanical view of things...as there are some things that the Bible just doesn't answer...things that continue to be mysterious to us, even though we have preached about them and prayed about them and searched the Scriptures to understand them...so science can no longer claim to have all the answers neatly packaged and ready for delivery, either...bottom line, science and spirituality need each other...

No less a figure than Eugene Wigner, a Nobel Prize winner in physics, claimed that materialism, at least with regard to the human mind, is not “logically consistent with present quantum mechanics.”..and on the basis of Quantum Mechanics, Sir Rudolf Peierls, another great 20th-century physicist, said, “the premise that you can describe in terms of physics the whole function of a human being ... including [his] knowledge, and [his] consciousness, is untenable. There is still something missing.”...

Jesus told His disciples that a Helper was coming after He left Who would lead them into ALL TRUTH...not into Christianity...not into a world seen only through a Biblically created paradigm (since the Bible was compiled centuries after all those men passed away), but into ALL TRUTH...The Message Bible says in that passage "He will lead you into all the truth that there is"...

Thank God for science...thank God that seekers of truth of every stripe are finding that they are not as polarized as they thought...I know that the world is older than 6,000 years, and I don't believe that it was created in six 24 hour time periods...science has proven that the earth is at least several million years old...but I still believe in a Creator, and I call Him God...I still believe in the supernatural...do I believe in evolution? It's virtually impossible for any intelligent person to not see it's obvious reality, but I still believe that everything was supernatural in origin...God created it all...so God bless Quantum Physics and the men who brought that science and way of thinking to our attention...God bless the people who believe in the Laws of Attraction...God bless all the religions of the world, and the people who penned Holy Writ...I might not believe everything they said, but I don't deny their sincerity in their search for transcendence, and I honor it...beliefs do produce energy...it's important to believe in something, even if you don't have all the answers...remember today that you can be totally open-minded, and still have a strong belief-system that works for you...come, Holy Spirit...lead us into all the TRUTH!

APOCALYPSE NOW: THE AGE OF AQUARIUS

The word ‘apocalypse’, which is often used as a fear-invoking way of referring to the 'end of times', is actually a Greek word that simply means ‘unveiling’...this current time/season is, in fact, an apocalypse, but not in the popularized negative sense...the era in which we are living is a time for an unveiling of truth...

Jesus talked about 'the end of the age', not the end of the world, as so many theologians who have taken His words out of context have said...

The Mayans weren't really wrong about 2012...as I understand it, they weren't predicting that the end of the world was going to happen a couple of years ago as much as they were predicting a shift in cosmic consciousness ("the knowledge of the Lord shall fill all the earth as the waters cover the sea")...

What the prophet Joel saw as a time in which the Spirit would be poured out on all flesh is perhaps what astrologers call the dawning of the Age of Aquarius (who pours water out of an urn)...and that began, as I understand it, around 2012...

Just as Toto pulled back the curtain to reveal the truth about the Wizard, we too are being shown the reality of our own power...in that classic story (parable), Dorothy’s companions came to the realization that the great and mighty Oz was nothing more than a deceitful and fearful human being, and that their own personal power had always resided within...

The same is true for us (Paul talked about Christ being revealed IN HIM when he was finally separated from his religious tradition)...as the truth unveils itself into our awareness, all untruths are passing away, and we are finding ourselves having to see things for what they actually are for the first time...in a word, it's the greatest time to be alive...there is certainly so much in the world that needs improvement, and if you choose to have a world-view that sees the glass half-empty, you can find a lot to get depressed about...but everywhere I look I see improvement...I see possibilities...I see awareness...I see opportunity...and I believe that it's only going to get better...have a beautiful day...
