STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Max Planck's quantum theory revolutionized human understanding of atomic and subatomic processes, just as Albert Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized the understanding of space and time...together they constitute the fundamental theories of 20th-century physics...we've discussed in a previous post how that Quantum Physics improved upon and even replaced conventional Newtonian Physics, and yet the basic principles of "what goes up must come down" still exist in the the "real world"...new Truth exists in a parallel reality to ancient Truth...

Truth is continuing to unfold...Jesus said repeatedly, "You have heard it said _______________, but I SAY _____________..."...the New Covenant improves upon the Old Covenant...grace triumphs over The Law...the Rhema word improves upon the Logos word...Abram becomes Abraham...Sarai becomes Sarah...Jacob becomes Israel...Saul becomes Paul...Cephas becomes Peter...in the New Testament National Israel becomes Spiritual Israel...John, in his dream of revelation (his Apocalypse, or unveiling) now sees a 'New Jerusalem'...

The caterpillar BECOMES the butterfly...

John the Baptist said that One was coming after him who would baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire, but Jesus then even goes so far as to say, "It is necessary that I go away so that HE can come..."...Paul, in his famous essay on love says, "Now we know in part, but when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be done away with"...

Change challenges our comfort zones and cause us discomfort...Niels Bohr's Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Physics is perhaps the most comforting theory of it that has been put forth...by explaining that particles exist in all states at once (in coherent superposition) our understanding of the Universe is put slightly askew, but still remains somewhat comprehensible...we love the New Testament, but still quote the 23rd Psalm...we appreciate our Christian heritage, but have outgrown some, if not most, of what we were taught in Sunday School...and yet we still love to sing 'Amazing Grace'...

Bohr's theory is additionally comforting because it makes us humans the cause for an object to take a determined shape...the Observer Effect is a blessing...although scientists find a particle's ability to exist in more than one state frustrating, our observations affect the particle...we are creators, created in The Creator's own image...at least it doesn't continue to exist in all states while we're looking at it...

Don't fight change...be renewed in the 'Spirit of your Mind'...allow yourself the flexibility to go from glory to glory...cooperate with the New Birth, which is essentially a reincarnation of sorts...theology, or 'Theo-logic' is never static...the Word is a living, vibrating, energetic, creative thing...it can't be locked down or locked in to a dogma or an ism..."the wind blows where it wills"...

The Universe is expanding at the Speed of Light...the cells in your body are constantly being renewed and re-created...possibilities are ceaselessly popping in and out of the living, Quantum Field, waiting to be observed and turned into something...

Get yourself unstuck...

Think a new thought...

Believe in a possibility...

Anything can happen today!

EINSTEIN ON GOD AND SPIRITUALITY

"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details."

"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."

"Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble."

"The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenetrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself among profoundly religious men."

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the wonderful structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity."

"When the solution is simple, God is answering."

THE POWER AND PRINCIPLES OF CREATIVE VISUALIZATION

Creative visualization is a God-given method by which we are able to re-arrange our whole world with our thoughts, perceptions, and mental images...the power of visualization is based on the subconscious mind's inability to distinguish between reality and daydreaming...in Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount, He said that if you had fantasized about committing adultery with someone, that you had actually committed adultery with them (Matthew 5:28)...the point He was making wasn't about acts of adultery...we already know His approach to that subject ("Neither do I condemn you...")...no, the point is actually about the reality of the thought-life being equivalent to the reality of the manifested life...thoughts are things, and they not only create reality, the are reality...Einstein came along nearly 2,000 years later and proved that energy and mass are equal and interchangeable (e=mc2)...in dealing with the subconscious mind, thought is the energy and the outcome of that thought is the mass...if thinking about adultery actually makes someone an adulterer, then wouldn't it stand to reason that thinking about abundance, success and prosperity would make a person abundantly supplied, successful and prosperous?

Visualization is a technique by which we use our imagination to create what we desire in life...in the book of Genesis, we see that Jacob was very tuned into this...his dream of the stairway into heaven gave him a complete paradigm shift in his perception of everything, and what he learned from his success with putting the spotted and speckled rods in front of the cows to make them produce spotted and speckled calves in the 30th chapter of Genesis informed his prophetic understanding of Joseph's need for a coat of many colors...and once Joseph internalized the vision of the coat and what it represented, nothing could keep him from seeing his dreams fulfilled...no one could take the coat away from him because it was now a colorful mental reality...

William Blake called the human imagination the “Bosom of God”...whether you realize it or not, you've been using visualization on some level and to some degree on a regular basis your entire life...everything that you see around you in the material world started as an idea in somebody's mind, a visual image that someone somewhere then translated into reality...you could even say that they were able to make the word become flesh...that's why Mr. Einstein concluded that “imagination is more important than knowledge”...

Everything in the universe is made up of energy, the same energy that God released when He said, "Let there be light"...He visualized it all, and thus created it, as the Spirit "hovered over the face of the deep"...we are all energy, and everything around us is energy, energy that vibrates at different rates or frequencies...the density of mass determines the rate at which it vibrates...a thought is a very light form of energy and can therefore change very quickly and easily, whereas a boulder is a very dense form of energy that does not change easily...but if you've ever visited the Grand Canyon, or Rock City in Chattanooga, you know that the fine, light energy of water eventually changes hard rock in very dramatic ways...ultimately, water is much stronger than rock...in the same way, the thought life is much more powerful than the present physical condition...water triumphs over rock...thoughts triumph over the material world...

Don't be afraid to dream, even if the things you've already visualized haven't materialized exactly as you thought they should...believe in your dreams like you would believe in your own children, and hold on to them and protect them with your life...the visualization of a successfully completed project means it's done, just as though it has already happened ("He declares the end from the beginning", "He calls those things which are not as though they are")...use your powers of visualization to create the desired outcome...visualize the person you want to be...visualize the life you want to have...visualize the way you want this day to turn out...then detach yourself from micro-managing everything, and relax into letting the subconscious mind do what it does best, transforming thoughts into tangible reality...
