Beliefs and Concepts

“Our beliefs and concepts are the greatest obstacles to awakening.”   (AwakenTheWorld)

***

This won’t be another rant against organized religions, although it’s clear how detrimental I feel that many of them are by discouraging an individual’s self-inquiry and personal consciousness development.

We can actually be biased and closed-minded about most anything that we encounter in life, but when personal beliefs are concerned, nothing says “My way, or the highway,” better and faster than a religion—especially a specific doctrine that spells out what you ‘can and can’t do’ with your own precious life. 

It used to be what you ‘should and shouldn’t do’ rather than ‘can and can’t’ but the US Supreme Court changed that 50+ year ruling when they gave in to the Religious Right and banned the ability of a woman to decide the fate of her own body and life.

Beliefs and concepts can be made substantive like suddenly encountering a cloud of mist and freezing it in place in our minds with our opinion of what that mist cloud should actually look like and how it should act or react, rather than allowing the mist to simply increase or dissipate on its own by flowing up, down, right or left and us simply observing it during the ongoing process.

When we limit the possibilities of whatever we encounter rather than simply observing them without judgment, we stop our self-growth in its evolutional track and say in effect, “No thanks. I know all I will ever need to know right now, so whatever that is in front of me that might educate me further is of no consequence to my current knowledgebase or my future learning potential.”

And religion isn’t the only fall-guy in this consideration; it’s just the easiest one to describe. We can make judgments about anything and everything that we encounter throughout the day—and especially make those judgments about the people we meet and with whom we associate our time because TIME is so valuable to us that we dole it out sparingly, and only to those most deserving of us.

Unfortunately we make these instant daily judgments on autopilot—because we are such creatures of habit and are always looking for ways to quickly classify whatever we encounter so we don’t waste time getting to better understand its significance aside from how it directly affects us. We really are that self-centered and self-focused. There wouldn’t be so many mass species extinctions occurring now if we were concerned for earth life beyond ourselves at this moment in time.

THAT is an actual belief: That human life is more precious than any other earth-based species existence.

Another actual belief: That personal greed and power are more important than sharing our abundance with those less able to produce their own. Genocides are efficient ways to reduce the demand for limited resources. It is happening all over the world right now. Do we condemn it or condone it? And how far are we willing to go to change the situation for the better for those under siege? Are we willing to make their battles for existence, OUR battles?

Sometimes I wonder why this experiential mode of learning was used to awaken a soul. I’m not so sure it is effective.

Winter Magic

 “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.

Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it ..”

Serendipity Corner

What can I say; it’s that time of year.

Everyone in the snow-belt is infatuated with the new white stuff—especially the first snows. By mid-January it’s quite the opposite.  However right now in mid-December sparkling, glittering, puffy flakes seem simply magical and mesmerizing.

Looking out the window this morning before daylight I witnessed the grass below the yard light was covered in shimmering diamonds. At 14 degrees Fahrenheit, I do know those ‘diamonds’ are actually ice crystals formed when high humidity is trapped by fast dropping overnight temperatures. If you venture out now, your breath will form visible ‘clouds’ as it leaves your lips at these temps.

So to do anything outside at a crisp 14 degrees, you pack on twenty pounds of extra outerwear plus snow boots if the white stuff is more than an inch or so. That part is not quite so magical.  

But you do so to put out birdseed and catfood to feed the yard’s residents who aren’t as enthralled by the winter ‘magic’ itself.  (Or to have also provided hay and grain for the hogs, cattle, and horses of our past.)

None the less, the season’s natural gifts are still beautiful to behold—especially from inside a warm house.

P.S. … That is one HUGE rabbit! Must be the magical part.

Wishing You Peace

This is the time of year when we gather with family and friends for good food, fellowship, and joy.

At least that’s the intention of the year-end holiday season, but not everyone is so blessed right now. And while I do wish everyone an abundance of food, love, peace and joviality, I also know that world-wide many are experiencing terrible hardships and horrendous living conditions.

For those of you who are struggling, I wish you courage and stamina to find a way to survive the current horrors of your life. There will be much death and destruction before the fighting ceases in many locations.  Unfortunately that is as much a part of the human experience now as is showing kindness and compassion to those around us.

Seeing this bunny image took me back 30+ years to our 100 acres in the Ozark Hills of Missouri where my dad, my husband and I lived for almost a decade after my mom died. There were cedar trees coming up wherever they were allowed to grow as most ranchers in the area considered them scrub brush and taking up valuable cow grazing land; so they were often cut down to keep a pasture clear. But we usually let some of ours grow and then cut one at Christmas time to put in the house. Very fragrant those cedar trees—very prickly also; but when it snowed during the winter there, the scenery in southwest Missouri looked a lot like that image above, and the smaller animals would scamper about looking for food and shelter beneath those cedars.

It was always such a peaceful time after the first snow with the land covered in a soft, cold blanket of white fluff. It’s easy to forget the more difficult times of your life when you are immersed in the beauty of such pristine whiteness.

Here in the NOW where I currently live back in Iowa, our first measurable snow was last week, and for a time, when those first huge flakes began to gently drift to the ground, it was just beautiful, and the moment felt almost sacred—so I stood in awe for some time watching the picture-perfect scene outside my window and thought about times long past, noting how each era of our lives brings great joys to mind as well as great sorrows.

Yesterday I put flowers on the graves of my grandmother and my parents. My ex-husband has also passed but is not buried in my vicinity or I would honor him as well. Those we have loved moved on from this plane of existence to the next, or in one sense it can be said they have returned HOME from where we all originated. While I may feel great loss for their passing, I know their journey continues elsewhere and mine is still here until my earthly work is done whenever that might be, so I’m not sad in that respect.

It is simply LIFE. This is what we do until we in turn pass on to other endeavors beyond this plane.

Whatever your situation, just enjoy the holiday season as best you can with camaraderie, joviality, and good intentions toward all. Share your abundance with others when possible, and please wish the best for ALL of us everywhere—lord knows, we ALL need your best wishes about now.

Be grateful for what you DO still have and for those who are currently in your company. And let’s try to be a little nicer to everyone we meet from here on out because you never know who might be  standing right in front of you, disguised as a stranger.  

Peace and love!

“To Make You Feel My Love”

“When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love…”

Bob Dylan

When I meditated on this lovely image for awhile, in my mind I heard Billie Joel singing this Dylan song’s title words, “To Make You Feel My Love.”

And that is what I felt: LOVE.

So instead of me dissecting and analyzing the components of what LOVE actually is, I hope you simply enjoy both the beautiful image above and hear Billy Joel singing the title song for yourself.

Clarifying Our Intentions

It’s easy to spend most of our waking hours following a mindless pattern of habitual behaviors. Everyday we have to do this or that, or get up at a certain time for jobs or kids, or exercise classes, etc. These are the habits that define our lives. They are like guard-rails on a highway overpass because these are things that we MUST do—they  keep us in line, on task, at full-forward momentum to prevent us from overshooting our daily path on the way to fulfilling our life goals.

But because of that daily pattern frequency they become more automatic behaviors—learned habits—mechanical repetitions we slip into without much thought or consideration.

As our boredom and fatigue increase with task repetition we sometimes ask ourselves, “Are all of these habitual ‘doings’ necessary?” And the answer is usually ‘Of course they are or I wouldn’t be DOING them.’

And that’s the problem: Perhaps we haven’t defined our life’s purpose yet so that our daily efforts more accurately reflect our ‘clarified intentions’ rather than relying on mindless rote behaviors that get us through each day.

The biggest problem with automatic behaviors is that as Mark Twain suggests, ‘familiarity breeds contempt’.  While contempt is a strong descriptor here it might simply suggest a loss of respect for the situation or relationship because of becoming overly familiar with it, but it can also mean that we lose interest in what we are doing and why we are doing it.  We may fail to pay attention to what is actually happening during the process of what has become a repetitive behavior.

This subject that seems so simple and blasé is actually quite complex. To clarify your life’s intentions you need to first be aware of what your intentions actually are.

So what are your life’s intentions?

  • Are you on a journey toward greater self-awareness and soul-fulfillment or are you on a trajectory toward accumulating exterior rewards like wealth and accolades?
  • Are your relationships loving and nourishing or are they more purposeful and advantageous?
  • Are you so focused on an event at the end of the day that you lose interest in all the hours prior to it?
  • Are you excited and passionate about your life, and if not, WHY not?
  • Were you ONCE passionate about your life, and if you aren’t now, what changed?
  • What would make you excited to wake each morning, ready to dive into the day ahead?
  • Maybe that ‘BE HERE NOW’ philosophy is peeking at you from the sidelines of your life, but is it important enough to you to heed the call? (Coined by Ram Dass’ book title and teachings.)
  • I think it was Thich Nhat Hanh who got through to me on how important each moment is to increasing our awareness of LIFE itself, so I credit him with that awareness in me. Here are a few of his words on ‘mindfulness’:

“With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.”

“Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive.”

“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the whole earth revolves — slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life.”

***

When we clarify our intentions on how and why we live our lives, it enables us to refocus our efforts on what is most important to us. It also enables us to recognize the true miracle of each breath we take and the importance of each beautiful, sparkling sunrise that we witness.

Life is simply for living and appreciating its endless wonders. If you’re not feeling that yet, you will.

“Summarize Yourself”

While reading a fiction book from the library, one of the book’s secondary characters, a gifted but older, acerbic author asked the main female protagonist some penetrating personal questions. She was the local academic community’s phenomenon—a young, doctoral-physic’s ‘coding’ genius who was attempting to computationally define the prime equation string for high-temperature super-conductivity. In the book the writer was depicted as aloof in general but seemed more peripherally interested in her as character study to scavenge her emotional reactions (or lack thereof) and her more prominent personality traits as creative fodder for his newest novel currently underway.

For her part having been somewhat socially repressed to date, she had found him intellectually and philosophically stimulating to discuss more pithy subjects, until he cavalierly stated something a bit condescending to her along the lines of “I don’t know you well, so summarize yourself for me.”

While she had previously courted his erudite attention for validation, she now recognized the shallowness of his interest in her as intrusive and parasitically-motivated, so she walked out of the scene without responding to him; but what he said to her stuck in my head: “… summarize yourself for me.”

I thought, ‘How would I summarize myself;…or  even describe who AM I in summary just to myself, NOT to someone else?’

Think about it a bit. Out of the blue someone says to you: “Summarize yourself.”  What would you say? (Besides telling them where to put it and walking off also, which I would totally do.)

In truth ‘summarizing ourselves’ is a complex task for anyone because we are seldom who we think we are, and less sure how others actually see us if we did describe ourselves a certain way. Do you really KNOW yourself well enough to even attempt a summary? This task made me contemplate my actual self-awareness.

How about if you simply desired to ‘summarize yourself’ to you alone? Can you do that?

  • Are you WHAT you do?
  • Are you WHAT you wish to be?
  • Are you the sum total of all you have experienced and felt to date—a running chronology of all your successes, failures, attempts, passes, from childhood onwards and how each of them affected you for better or for worse?
  • Can you trace your ‘awareness’ evolvement?
  • Are you now living your highest aspirations for purpose and significance to the world around you, or are you primarily passing time waiting for the Great Unknown to acknowledge you?
  • Are you a ‘good’ person by your own standards, or a ‘not so good’ one? What makes the difference? What’s the defining criteria for each? Can you be both some of one and some of the other?
  • Is this consideration part of that Doing/Being conundrum?  Are you what you ‘DO’ in life, or are you simply as you ‘BE’—a soul incarnated?

After pondering this ‘self-summary’ challenge for awhile, I finally just let my mind quiet until it began to drift away—slowly riding the oceanic waves of consciousness.  What I then heard clearly between my ears was, “I am a seeker.” 

It’s from the Hermann Hesse quote,

“I have been and still am a ‘seeker,’ but I have ceased to question the stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me.”

***

I agree with Hesse. That’s a pretty close summary of WHO I am also:  “I am a seeker” of truth and knowledge. I am a ‘collector’ of other’s wisdom and experiences. I am an incarnate ‘sensor’ for Higher Consciousness in the NOW as I know it.

I am, as Alan Watts claimed, but ‘a wave in the universal ocean’: 

“You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.” – Alan Watts.

***

So what’s your self-summary?

Transcendence

“…In religious experience transcendence is a state of being that has overcome the limitations of physical existence and by some definitions has also become independent of it. This is typically manifested in prayer, séance, meditation, psychedelics and paranormal ‘visions’….” (Wiki)

***

When we are born into this world many say that we are born as ‘blank slates’ with no agenda and no knowledge/training to do even the simplest of tasks short of screaming for food/attention and soiling our diapers.

Others say we are born with a fully-formed agenda programmed into our being (or our energy fields) that plays out day by day until we achieve our pre-ordained objectives.

And still others claim we are only holographic avatars of some higher intention acting out roles to achieve undecipherable higher goals defined by an unseen/un-see-able game controller’s agenda.

Now how do I encompass all of those agenda possibilities in explaining transcendence from this questionably-purposed physical experience within a couple pages of text?

In one sense transcendence is what I have been striving for all of my adult life, so this concept is extremely important to me in a visceral way; and in another sense I find it hard to accurately describe what it means to achieve transcendence and even more importantly, describe HOW to do so.

The left-brain’s rational/logical mind has limitations in that ‘describing’ regard, because these are aspirations primarily of the right brain—the intuition—the inner knowing w/o words—the empathic connection of simply BEING HERE NOW and feeling your way into every situation by how resonant and harmonious it feels to do so—the higher-connection directions from our high-frequency Higher Self that put us into this physicality for training and consciousness advancement. (Like the parental “Go play in the yard children—but not in the street,” sort of directive.)

Transcendence is the reconnection into true God-Source to the point of nearly losing our individuality we fight so hard to maintain.  It represents accessing the All-ness, the One-ness, the Zero-point expression of Being where personal distinctions dissolve into a single harmonious and homogenous whole expressed as the Highest possible light-frequency we are capable of sustaining within our limited human capacities.

To hold such high frequencies of pure Divine Light we must be acclimated into doing so or we may blow our neurological circuits; so if transcendence, or ‘direct God-Source connection’ is desired, it is preferable to first practice modes or mediums of meditation, prayer, or other more esoteric energy enhancement practices. (I learned energy-body work through Usui REIKI, Karuna REIKI, plus I meditated.) And since I’m NOT a drug fan of any kind, I don’t recommend psychedelics or mind-altering herbs, etc, like Ayahuasca for mind-expansion.

And even though I’ve been through Shamanic training where some teachers might suggest Ayahuasca or peyote to visit the ‘alternate realities’ or other dimensions of non-physical existence available to ‘space travelers’, I don’t recommend them, because if you open your consciousness too wide too fast you may lose all ability to return to this ‘version’ of reality—whatever that might be for you. I’ve been ‘out too far’ without drugs and it was extremely hard to return fully to my body—took a long time.

But because of my own experiences I was able to help one of my more adventurous REIKI students who allowed a complete stranger at a psychic fair to send her far out into the ethers without a guideline back. Initially the rocket-blast high might have been desirable and extraordinary to her, but when the realization of how untethered she was to THIS world eventually sank in, she was soon calling for help to come back down from it.

Another problem with randomly shooting your consciousness into the unknown is that if you spread your energy-self too thin out in the ethers you might not be able to protect your personal energy field from at-large parasitic entities who are hunting for easy prey, suddenly run across you out there ‘blissing about’ by yourself, and decide that you look pretty darn good for their ‘energy dinner’ on-the-fly. Seriously, it happens.

That kind of risk is just not worth it. Trust me on this one.

So if you do desire to transcend your physical limitations in this reality, and frankly, who doesn’t, then do it with reputable guidance and extra spirit protection during your exploration. If you want to test the waters of space exploration and bliss consciousness, then I recommend  you do it through a reliable teacher.  Check out Alicia Power of SoulMentoring.com.

Depth Plunge in Minutiae

As a jig-saw puzzle fanatic I can obsess for hours over a thousand random puzzle pieces spread across a card-table waiting for sense to be made from it all, because to me it’s a challenge and perhaps a metaphor for LIFE.

What makes ‘the sense’ part you might ask in a puzzle or in LIFE?

For the card-table puzzle, the ‘sense’ is matching knobs and holes into slots that fit them until you complete the entire picture printed atop those individual puzzle pieces giving it a ‘united wholeness composed of 1000 individual parts.’

With LIFE, ‘sense-making’ is less simple or easily defined.

But the funny thing about this particular multi-piece puzzle I was so engrossed in, is that yesterday I was down to the last two pieces from puzzle completion (that’s 998 pieces done) and I had two open slots ready for them to fit into, but to my amazement and annoyance, they didn’t fit. Not even close—different knobs and shapes completely from the two slots available. 

How can this be?

I mean this isn’t a life-altering situation here, but how can these be the last two pieces and not fit the two available slots for them? I’ve put this puzzle together half a dozen times before—they ALL fit together perfectly. This just CAN’T happen.

But unfortunately it DID happen. So did I slip unaware into an alternate universe and my puzzle stayed in the previous one? What’s going on here?

After closer inspection, it turns out that one small ‘look-alike’ piece in the frame was 3 places to the left of where it should have resided, so that all the other pieces shifted to the right and misaligned the hole slots above them. One single piece out of place in the 4-piece string caused the slot shape differences atop them. So when I changed the twin-like frame pieces to their correct locations, the two remaining puzzle pieces fit perfectly into the new slots now available. Just like magic.  Mental melt-down averted.

Now in one sense this is really NO big deal and hardly worth even mentioning here, except I also consider these puzzles as a metaphor for LIFE; so how does this likewise apply to LIFE?  

The presumed metaphor: One stinking piece out of place in the framework of your life can throw everything else out of alignment and cause turmoil and confusion in your daily affairs until you resolve the offending problem and realign your dissonant parts.  

One piece of your life that looks almost exactly like the correct piece you need for your life to function competently and completely may be slightly out of sync with the rest, and because of that, all your other life parts in turn fail to engage as they should, and it disrupts your entire life’s flow and rhythm.  

Questions that may arise along these ‘life misalignment’ lines might be:

  • Are you at peace with yourself? Are you doing what you want to be doing with your life?
  • Are you content with your job or your friends or even with yourself?
  • Do you feel like you are missing some key component in your life that would smooth out all the other problems, but you don’t know what that missing piece might be?
  • Are you satisfied with your efforts to be the person you wish to be?
  • Are you happy to face down each day’s challenges knowing that you are truly giving it your best effort every step of the way?

In truth I must admit that some part of me upon seeing the two remaining pieces not matching the slots available for puzzle completion wanted to say, “Heck with it. There is something out of place here somewhere but it’s just not worth the effort to try to find the problem. I can just toss it all back in the box knowing that the correct amount of pieces are here for the next time I try to put it together, even if they don’t currently match up.”

But that stubborn, obsessive, competitive part of me said ‘NO. Find the problem. Fix it. Do it RIGHT or don’t do it at all.’

That’s what LIFE is about as well.  Find the problems in your life (first admit them to yourself) and fix them. Live your life with integrity and purpose by knowing who you are as a person.

Don’t ever give up on yourself, and don’t ever let yourself off too easily when you know better. Don’t get lazy. Be determined to do the right thing in your life—to BE the right person—the BEST person you can be.

You can go the distance. You can get the job done right. You got this!

Don’t toss your life’s puzzle because you are two slots off completion. See it through. Reassess, realign, and try it again until you get it all to fit together in harmony.

It’s all a test to see what you are made of when your life goes astray. Every day is an opportunity to FIND YOUR TRUTH in every situation that you encounter because LIFE is set up that way—offering many opportunities, both large and small, to test your worth.

To some folks LIFE always comes easily, and all their pieces fit neatly into place with the first try.  For the rest of us, we may have to work at it a bit more; but if we don’t give up, we will find the right slot to fit into and then our entire LIFE picture can be complete.

Because in the end that’s what we ALL hope to achieve for our lives—a beautiful, complete picture full of a thousand unified pieces that eventually make us whole.

A Walking Bundle of Frequencies

“We are slowed-down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.”                  

~ Albert Einstein     Earthschool Harmony

Don’t Assume

Who is running the show here? 

Ever ask yourself that question?

Wish I could answer it for you, but not certain that I really know myself.

I think the most important thing in this quizzical scenario is don’t assume that you know exactly what is happening to you, around you, or within you, because we have no actual idea of who we are, what we are, or WHY we are even in existence at this time, although we often wished that we did know.

It’s such a perverse truth to fathom: the world is NOT as it often seems to be—nor are we.

When people label themselves as one ‘belief’ over other possibilities I wonder WHY they do so. How does it benefit them to wear a specific LABEL in that fashion? Is it for inclusion or exclusion?

Every aspect of LIFE itself is an interpretation that each of us make. Every situation we experience is gauged by our particular perspective on its benefit or detriment to our lives. Every interaction we have with others is not based solely on who they say they are, but on how they treat us.

Why would we assume that one interpretation of LIFE is better than all others? Why would we believe that one perspective is the only one through which to view our lives?  And why would we NOT want to be treated with the same respect and dignity that we hold for all others?

Or is that the problem?

Are we holding all others in the same respect and dignity that we ourselves wish to be held in? Interesting question, isn’t it?

Don’t assume others aren’t exactly like yourself at their core being—full of needs and wants and higher aspirations for a more peaceful and loving life. You might be pleasantly surprised how similar you actually are if you took the time to find out.

Reality Challenged

Yesterday for some reason my head was all over the place and suddenly I was recalling a visual scene ‘memory’ from a TV show or a movie, so I watched it vividly replay in my mind; then I stopped and thought, “No, wait…that wasn’t a show or a movie that I saw that in, it was from a scenario in a fiction book I read Tuesday.”

That was when I fully realized how alive my mind was making the stories that were created only in black and white on a sheet of paper before me. I wasn’t just reading about the characters and their interacting situations in these tall tales—I was actively visualizing them happening as I read through the pages; so a day or more later I didn’t just recall ‘words’ phrased a certain way by the author—I saw the actors and complete scenes that those words had suggested as they appeared in my mind while I was reading the book.  

When an author can so completely immerse you in their imagery and phrasing that you witness the imaginary scene as you read it, THAT is the skill of a great writer.

That is also a good reason to question what we think we remember about the lives we actually do live.

Psychologists and therapists have long known that their clients have their own ‘interpretations’ of what has happened to them in their lives—especially when those clients were children with limited comprehension and assessment abilities.

But as adults, we also are making ‘reality’ interpretations every day of our lives; and we base those interpretations on many criteria, but particularly we base them on how safe or how threatened we felt when we experienced the situation remembered.  

That’s why trauma has such a paralyzing affect on people. It can taint every other future experience with the same inner terror felt when the initial trauma occurred. And when we begin to question our reality for REAL-ness, we begin to question ourselves for knowing what REAL actually is. Not a good state of mind in which to stew.

As someone who has some pretty broad personal interpretations of what constitutes REALITY, I’m not a good choice to define it a specific way for others; but a good counselor or therapist can help you in that regard if you are having difficulties interpreting what is happening in your life. Even my psychologist friend from that group shaman apprenticeship of years ago used to say that “everyone experiences their own reality” and she only tries to help her clients find their true version of it.

So don’t be too hard on yourself if you flake out once in awhile and think you’ve been to the moon and back and are standing here now with a rock in your hand to show it.

You should see my rock collection.

 The Intelligent Ocean of Consciousness

“The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.”   – Euclid

Nassim Haramein

***

Pretty sure I’m referring to Akasha again but in a different way here.

This illusive concept is hard to get your head around: that this ocean of space and seeming non-substance in which we exist is itself alive, just as the Earth herself is alive and conscious of all thoughts and activities of those existing upon her surface or those dependent upon her atmospheres and climates; and furthermore, that we (Akasha, Earth, all living creatures) are all interconnected with each other through frequencies and unseen matrices and meridians of energy, meaning that what affects one aspect of the interconnected entirety affects ALL other participants to some degree because we are intimately linked and intentionally bound together as a total package.

An even harder concept to consider is that everything within this ocean of consciousness is intentionally ‘designed’/created using some specialty programming that is so advanced we can only catch fleeting, behind-the-scenes ‘whiffs’ that it even exists because it is nearly beyond our limited comprehension levels to fathom it.

So while I’m contemplating that engineered ‘Divine Intention’ possibility and reaching for a good analogy to better explain it, I ran across this quote:

“Atheism cannot hold water until it acknowledges that physics has arrived at a new set of suppositions.

Chief among them is that the pre-created state is outside spacetime, and whatever is happening there, is acausal. The logic here is that whatever the pre-created state might be (superstrings, multiverse, dark matter and energy), it doesn’t obey the rules of cause-and-effect, and it exists outside the physical universe.

Therefore, the old-fashioned bedrock of atheism, which makes ‘science’ the enemy of religion (or more crudely, ‘reason’ as the enemy of superstition) has collapsed.“ —  Deepak Chopra
