A Holy Week Meditation

 

Palm Sunday, and the crowd goes wild! They welcome Jesus as Messiah as we often do, hearing about Salvation and Eternal Life and the promises of God in our own lives. Then Monday comes. No kingdom. Tuesday the same. By Friday, the crowd is disappointed and shouting, "Crucify him!" 

In our times, Monday for many people, is the rules that have come down to us.  No sex, no lying, no swearing, you get the picture. Tuesday can come around with the collection plate. Sunday after Sunday, the giving doesn't stop, and does it help anyone or just take money out of your pocket? By Wednesday, rules and charity can have some on their nerves end. The celebrations year after year of Christmas festival and Easter and still no kingdom. Still no miraculous gifts. Still so little faith.

One too many Passover reenactments and one too many Good Friday observance and Christ may seem long dead if ever he existed more than a Jewish folk-hero fable for first-century Jews. You may not shout crucify him, but bit by bit, life wears away the early Palm Sunday joy to a regular observed routine ritual passing the year. One may even wonder, is the hope of eternal life worth the observances?

Bear your cross... The times change, and the reality of a life of little faith until one's personal Resurrection and your joy may decrease to observances or worse, a complete loss of faith and exit from the church. That is the cross borne by those whose faith does not grow to a mustard tree by the regular experience of the divine in their life and hearing of the word by which comes faith. When one does not regularly read how Israel fell from following God again and again, even when shown great signs, you may wonder why your life is not full of miracles.

Whether you have no faith, little faith, or faith that can move mountains, the promise of Salvation and the gift of eternal life are for you. God wants everyone saved and knows it is not easy to believe year after year. So pray. Ask him to help you remember him and his plan for you. Do not be afraid you will be a burden. He already bore a cross for you too!  

Bulbs, Electric, Neon, Or...

 

Are our brains light bulbs? Do they burn so long then go out? Once burned out, are the only good to go to the trash and decompose? Are our fates from dust we came to dust we return? Whether electric, neon, or other light bulbs?

Or are our brains like wheat, as the Gospel story states? Do we die to rise again as fresh growth? Do we become more than we ever were in life once we die? Do we multiply ten, thirty, a hundredfold bearing fruit?

These are the two views. One the atheist with a burning bulb as long as alive and the other the Christian grain of wheat waiting to rise. Is belief the difference between the two, or is there more? Can we have more than a hope based on a belief in Christ that we will live beyond our grave?

Our hope in life beyond the grave can be based on even greater belief than just being like wheat. We can base our hope on reality not being composed of lifeless matter in a vacuum of space by accidents adding up to this day. We can base our view of reality on the outer space existing as an organ of perception and creating universes as easily as having visualization sessions. We can live consciousnesses in the infinite mind, setting like the sun in our mortal lives at death, then to rise finally in life beyond the grave thereafter!

Waking life and sleep like days and nights passed on this side of the veil of mortal life. Then on death, the veil is passed beyond, and the day rises in eternal life. No longer under the curse of Adam's family. No longer having our cross to bear. Once again in Paradise.

Our hopes for life after death does not have to be based on belief alone. It can be a matter of orientation based on the hypothesis that life does not happen in a vacuum by accident. It can be based on the theory we live in an infinite mind that is alive and God! It is suggested one try to get in touch with the invisible, infinite living God to find out...

How do you know?

 

How do you know someone might ask anyone presuming to tell something about life beyond the everyday experienced world. Someone might ask how you know what is going on on the other side of the world, even with cable news. Consider some people doubt we ever went to the moon. They think it is a media hoax of the public. One might go so far as to doubt there is a world at all rather than a virtual reality depiction of life in the world. 

Yet, there are ways one can judge what one hears said about life or anything at all. There are three stages to the judgment skill process I hope to use whenever I hear about China, Russia, Africa or Europe, or even Kansas, for that matter. They are simple reference processes that help sort all the information one receives every day, whether in person or from any media source.

The first stage is to ask is it believable? Is the information possible to consider true, or does it just make one think, "you've got to be kidding?" If not, it is somewhat believed a possibility to you and perhaps anyone who heard it that has the same background as you. 

The second stage is to ask, "does it sound logical?" Is it logical to think it is possible? Would the rules of nature support such a thing being true. Would you have to suspend the laws of physics to believe such a thing was true. 

The third and final stage is to ask yourself, "do I have any experience this is so?"  Do I already know this from personal experience? Am I an eyewitness that this is a fact? Or do I have to gain a personal experience to know if it is the truth?

A lot of what I write is believable if you can suspend physics laws as game rules that can be violated for circumstances permitting, like an act of God. Further, if you can believe the science that we may be in a simulation, then physics's programmed laws are easily violated for the program exceptions to the rule. 

A lot of what I write is logical if you can accept infinitesimal space as the foundation of everything else. Infinitesimal space honeycombs reality once you get over the finite doubts one may think such as there is no such thing as infinity. Remember, pi, e, and the square root of two all prove infinity is a mathematical concept, not just an absurd idea.  

I have written this just in the odd case you thought I only write fan fiction about the infinite as alive, mind, and God just because I am not displaying any sign of personal experience that this is so. I am still very human in the range of my personal experience. I am not a major siddhi. I have just been contemplating infinity for decades. It is my obsession. I like the world and what everything looks like in the infinite theater of the mind. Taken as the theater of the mind, the world may not be a romantic comedy, but it is a very detailed science fiction production.   

The Infinite Godhead!

 

Imagine if all your life you had more than one head, figuratively speaking. Imagine one head was inside of the other like nesting dolls. You can experience two of these heads easily; look in the mirror! There is the head on your shoulder, and the head others see as reflected in the mirror view. Also, there's the head you use inside your head when you are dreaming or in the visualization of bodily scenes. What if, besides these heads, you have an infinite Godhead wrapped around you, extending in all directions invisibly?

What if, like the head in the mirror view, which is only visible when you look in the mirror, you have an infinite Godhead only visible when you pause to reflect on the nature of your infinity link?  Naturally, everything in existence is contact connected to infinity! Everything is joined to infinity like trolly cars are linked to the power source. We do not have to do a thing.

What if the connection is poetically called the infinite Godhead because it is like having a godlike head in its ability available for all approved godly acts. What if this Godhead is what makes supernatural spirit reality exist? What if the infinite Godhead can be your best friend, higher power, favorite personality, good conscious, well - you get the picture.

What if the infinite Godhead is self-policing through members' maintenance of best behavior because of just how equal and powerful all Godhead and like masters really are? What if the infinite Godhead is very tolerant of everything that can be staged theatrically in visualizations because of the entertainment values? What if the infinite Godhead is a key to understanding the natures of reality, being like living in the mind of God?

Imagine. If there is an infinite Godhead, when are you going to give serious thought to putting it to good use? If there is an infinite Godhead, when are you going to start meditating and giving your higher power a chance to sign in? If there is an infinite Godhead, when are you going to start thinking of all the ways you can improve your life using an infinite Godhead mind, instead of just your born with "brain"? 

Exotic Matter?

 

Are the historic spiritual abilities the results of symptoms, exotic matter properties, or an exotic matter? Some highly educated people think there is no such thing as spirit abilities. That the entire supernatural is readily explained by mental illness symptoms. From delusions to hallucinations, the entire realm of spiritual phenomena can be classified. That is unless one counts coincidental results! If spiritual activities bring the desired results, it is hard to explain spiritual reality as all insanity. Once one has the experiences, it is hard to believe psychic abilities are only symptoms. 

What about explaining spiritual reality as exotic properties of chemistry or electricity? Maybe light or even just brain waves? DNA was unknown before 1869. Now we have read our entire human genome! Who knows if it is only a matter of time before science gives a reasonable explanation to psychic abilities other than medical illnesses symptoms? Perhaps the brain is a natural radio headset that can receive and transmit when its frequency is built up to be exercise...

Maybe spiritual reality is explained by an exotic matter such as space, the empty vacuum chamber contents? Maybe space is an exotic matter that generates a form of psychic mind everything in space is connected to by nature? Maybe meditation opens a connection to this natural psychic mind in the silence of one's stilled brain? Maybe space is the frontier that will yield humanity knowledge of spiritual reality and abilities!

Whatever explanation you accept, spiritual abilities are as old as the Bible, and people have been credited with spiritual gifts for as long. The argument it is all rubish about delusional crazy people is a bit shallow, considering there were people called lunatics in the Biblical times and spiritually gifted people. Both groups shared recognition at one time for some reason...

 

All Connected!

 

If everywhere was wired for internet and you could access the network from any enabled device, you would have a hint of the living infinite mind. The infinite is everywhere and fills everything. It is full of power, intelligence, and is alive. Everything else is connected to it. All finite creations are like new internet-enabled connections to the vast infinite mind!

The living infinite mind is on the other side of every finite creation. Like the back of playing cards, the design may vary, but the decks all have 52 cards of their face values. The individual creations are like the face values of the cards. The infinite mind is the back of the cards. Try to remember this because, in daily use, the playing cards are played at face value, of course!

So do yourself a favor. Try to be nice to everyone and everything else in your life. They are all the living infinite mind connections. Just because you never use the internet would not mean it is not there. Just because you have not established a relationship with the living infinite mind does not mean it is not there. It is just the quietest house guest you could ever imagine! It is everywhere, and it perceives everything. Once you establish a connection, you have a relationship for life!

So, Happy New Year. Try to remember the infinite is alive and a living mind connected to everything. Try to get in touch with it. Your life will never be the same after. Don't worry. You won't go crazy, you'll get infinite living mind experiences!

In This Advent Season...

 

This Advent in 2020, we have so much on our minds. There's the pandemic. Then there is the economy and the recent election results. Yet it is Advent, the time we are to prepare for the coming of Jesus. I know it may be hard to believe in God, let alone Salvation and the gift of eternal life, but try to remember Scripture only asks that we believe. We only have to try with all our heart to believe it may be a possibility there is a loving Creator that wants to forgive us and give us eternal life.

The world is based upon Creation's study as if it were not created but occurred all on its own. No Creator was responsible for all the little coincidences that made life on Earth possible. Just plain luck. I call our world a material world or a world studying the fabric or material of Creation but do not want to acknowledge the tailor. If you see someone wearing a suit, you know there was a tailor. I guess if the scientists knew of creation by visualization, they would be able to see God.

If you could get a job in the future where you could earn extra lives like in video games, these jobs would be popular jobs for anyone enjoying their life or looking for more time. What if one could earn eternal life? Wouldn't that be a job many would want? What if I tell you Jesus' gift of Salvation comes with eternal life, and all you have to do is believe and be saved! It isn't easy, I admit. You do have to overcome the naysayers, the unbelievers, and the outright deniers that there is a God that can do that. Isn't it worth it, though?

Isn't this Advent the perfect time to find out about Jesus and his gifts? Come home to Creation. Come back to God. Get saved and receive eternal life!
