Recently I wrote: “In spiritual terms, given that I’m a spirit in a human body, relating to others of the same kind, and want to understand myself and others – and given that others may want to as well – how do I describe the ways we think, feel, and act; that is, our culture?” […]
In the World but Not of It
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house…. Well, we’re certainly used to waiting! I’m in a philosophical mood today. I feel guided to look at duality, to show that it isn’t inherently bad or wrong. The very first act in the drama of our lives was one of imaginary separation, individuation. No, […]
That World is Nova Earth: An Introduction to Ascension – Part 3/5
(Continued from Part 2, yesterday.) From “That World is Nova Earth: An Introduction to Ascension – Part 1/2,” October 12, 2017, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2017/10/12/that-world-is-nova-earth-an-introduction-to-ascension-part-12/ Have we not got enough statements about “the essence of the One” to fill a book? (3) My favorite is from John Ruusbroec, who calls it the Christ, the Son of God: […]
Now My Vistas are Limitless
In a way, we seem like walking magnets. By the Law of Attraction and Repulsion, we attract certain people and situations to us and repel others. We’re refined magnets. We have the ability to change frequencies the way a TV changes channels. But, as long as we’re in the lower dimensions, our power of attraction […]
The Last Veil Called “I”
What to do during lockdown, quarantine, social isolation, etc.? I’d highly recommend meditation. But I have no depth of background in meditation so I can’t speak to it. I do plan to meditate more myself, given the isolating conditions. But what about during the time when we’re not meditating? How to “make best use of […]
The Destination is Worth the Rigor
When I think of Ascension as a journey up a mountain, I weep. Because for me, that’s how it’s seemed. I could have said pulling myself out of a swamp. Or crossing a desert. These are just images, but I feel so tired looking at the journey from this vantage point. It’s been a long […]
Paradigmatic Breakthrough as a Type of Spiritual Realization
Download a copy of Paradigmatic Breakthrough: Essays in New-Age Philosophy here In this article I’m going to look at paradigmatic breakthrough from a number of angles. A paradigmatic breakthrough is a discontinuous movement from one contextualizing understanding or point of view that has come to pinch and restrict to another more acceptable one. If the […]
Why is Awareness so Important?
Why is awareness so important? Why not love? Why not good works? Well, of course those are also very important. But awareness – which is also called discernment and discrimination in some religions – is of ultimate importance. Why? By now I should be able to ask “What is the purpose of life?” and a […]
The Cat is Out of the Bag
For me, there are three levels of reality in our Third/Fourth Dimension (that’s where I seem to be). The first is the intellectual. It includes our body, its emotions, the spirit, and everything else. It’s just that it attempts to know them and itself only from the standpoint of ideas. It goes no deeper than […]
The Mother Trusts that Humans will Find Their Way to Love
The Divine Mother grants us the free will to choose any path we wish home. It may involve scenic detours and changes of plans but the Mother has the faith and trust in us that we’ll find our way home, following the guidance available to us but not mandatory to follow. This is Archangel Michael’s […]
The Fear of Death Dies
There has to be an end to fear. The soul in my 1987 vision did not end up in a bad place but a good place. (1) There had to have been an end to fear for that to have happened. The chief fear is the fear of death. The truth is that we always, […]
The Self: Summer Salad or Crazy Salad?
Notice that one spiritual experience has a person talking about it for years. I used to say to myself that one spiritual experience a decade would keep me going. I found myself muttering to myself this morning: “The Self can be said to ‘reside’ at the far end of the cul de sac that the […]
Spiritual Evolution: The Divine Plan for Life
If we build Nova Earth, we’re going to need philosophical foundations that are more stable than some we’ve been building on up till now. (1) “Spiritual Evolution: The Divine Plan for Life” is designed to start a cross-cultural discussion of spirituality. It was written following a vision I had in 1987. (2) That blissful vision […]
The Vision WAS the Divine Plan for Life
On Feb. 13, 1987, I was shown, in a vision, the entire journey of a soul from God to God. (1) It did not occur to me until a few moments ago that this reconstruction ** WAS ** the Divine Plan for life. Excuse me while I recover from the shock of just realizing that. […]
