According to Dr Christine Page; ” If God is omnipotent then the obvious place to start to explore its presence and to see its reflection is within our own core and not within the mindset of others.” I would like to restate that as: “Since God is omnipotent…”
“You Are the Answer” emboldens me by: “The divine law of asking and receiving cuts out all the middle men>” No offense to my Church that teaches that reaching God is done better through mediators more worthy than I am.
Dooley’s encouragement states: “It’s been even trickier because our entire planetary culture so far, has conditioned us to look outside of ourselves for direction, meaning and proper behavior.”
“You are the Answer” explains: “each one of us has a unique relationship with God and this relationship sets the basis for our spiritual growth.”
“The measure of our evolvement is not in what happens in our lives but in how we respond to all that happens.”
Before the Butterfly Can Fly
Although I’m almost 71 years of age, I still seek external permission to think independently. This is the result of social conditioning.I claim permission from Rabbi Darfour: ” Increasingly, I am persuaded that the beginning of faith ought to be inquiry, doubt, and disbelief.”
“Faith is not a fixed phenomenon, not a body of answers, so much as it is a process, a constant incorporation of new knowledge and new wisdom from different sources.” (2002)
Dooley argues against struggle even martyrdom; this appeals to me: “”Blood, sweat and tears aren’t what it takes to create real change. Instead its your imagination, beliefs, and expectations that draw you into action, circumstances and coincidences that make dream manifestation inevitable.
Radically “Life Is a Gift” asserts: “Freedom means loving yourself enough to be true to yourself and trust your emotional guidance. It means not giving in to what is socially expected or what the inner voices of fear exhort you to do nor feelings bound by past choices that are no longer serving you. It means making choices that express more of who you are. It means feeling your way into the flow. It means having faith in a loving cosmos.”
The context of my musings is Dr Christine Page’s : “During this time of the great shift, there will be increasing distortion of the hologram as individuals reconnect to their own divine consciousness and choose not to follow a collective truth unless it resonates with their soul.”
May I point out that Dr Page is the author of ” 2012 and the Galactic Center”. May I end with questions. Granted that our human nature is tainted with original sin, weren’t we saved by Jesus Christ? Didn’t our Baptism give us a clean, new slate? Why then does our Church not joyfully exhort us to live productive lives instead of forever hounding us with guilt?
