What You Are
You can live as you choose.
But you can’t change what you are.
And eventually you will choose to learn what you are.
What is Consciousness?
Perhaps the most often asked question by those concerned with materialism is, what is consciousness? Since one can attain the state of God Consciousness, perhaps this question is equivalent to asking what is God? So this question may be much larger than it first seems.
I just spent a lifetime doing WHAT!!
Overall, at age 18, my NDE was the most magnificent experience in my life, until my experience of an instant of God Consciousness at age 31.
In contrast, the most devastating, depressing moment of my life was when my brain shut down during my NDE and everything became perfect stillness within a black void, and I realized that life until that moment had been completely hollow, devoid of substance. There was nothing from that lifetime that I was taking with me. Later I recharacterized that realization with the question of I just spent a lifetime doing what?! I had accomplished nothing. Fortunately, I only needed to suffer that realization for the instant it took to spring into the awareness that I had popped out of my body and entered into what must be heaven. And I believed nothing could possibly be better than this for 12 years, until I experienced of an instant of God Consciousness, which was infinitely greater.
And in large measure, at the instant of death when we realize we have nothing to take with us from the physical realm, we understand the lie of the Doctrine of Materialism. Because as long as we believe nothing exists beyond the physical realm, we are denying our opportunity to explore the overwhelming preponderance of the universe beyond the physical realm.
God is Smarter Than You
God is smarter than you. However, as creation stories indicate, God realized individual consciousness couldn’t evolve in an eternal, or static realm, and so, created the realms of time and space where causality is perceived so consciousness can reason and come to understand the structure and rationale of the universe. The ultimate, inevitable goal was for each individual to eventually return to the eternal realm and share in the consciousness of God. In fact, there have always been spiritual masters available to train those who are ready for the discipline of contemplation, where consciousness can be separated from our bodies of time and space, and attain realization of the eternal realm beyond time and space.
However, there has never been a literal explanation of how this could possibly be true, so the very few in history who achieved this Enlightenment found their motivation through faith alone, and practiced contemplation sometimes for decades before realizing success. Of course, spiritual teachings also say Enlightenment can be obtained through Grace alone, which evidently involves focusing on Love to the point where one fully realizes the Love of God within themselves. But let’s restrict this discussion to those who choose to become sufficiently adept at exploring the universe through separation of consciousness in order to find God.
The good news is that with the development of quantum mechanics, there is a very simple interpretation of quantum mechanics which reveals that the mystical teachings which have been in existence for thousands of years are completely consistent with modern theoretical physics. In fact, one of the most fundamental principles of theoretical physics, the Correspondence Principle, demands that if two apparently conflicting theories of the universe are true, there must be an interpretation revealing how each theory validates the other.
In other words, faith in spiritual teachings alone is no longer necessary. Belief in physics through a perfectly literal interpretation of quantum mechanics guarantees that Enlightenment is real and within anyone’s grasp. The fundamental role of science has always been to reveal that when one understands certain aspects of the universe, one can then utilize this to learn to manipulate the universe to one’s advantage. Spiritual teachings have always maintained that Enlightenment is inevitable. Theoretical physics now tells us we can dramatically speed up that process.
Not Happy?
Keep chanting the mantra of “I don’t care.” Effectively one has an infinite number of tries at reincarnation.
But when you just can’t stand reincarnation any more, find a mystical teaching that can facilitate God Consciousness and follow their teaching.
That wasn’t hard. And you actually don’t need to reach the point that you can’t tolerate another reincarnation. You can follow the mystical teaching option any time you wish.
That wasn’t so hard.
