A secular mind shuts out all thought of energetic beings not visible to the secular thought system, a continuing self-hypnosis of limitation. What is declared to not exist cannot be seen, felt, experienced. This deliberate self-will is the pride of humankind. As a result no angels can be seen, felt, experienced. No Jesus. No Buddha. No Imam. No Elijah. No Melchizedek. No God.
The poverty of the secular mind is beyond imagination. Yet it will defend itself ruthlessly, declaring that it both IS and SEES the only true reality. The ironic humor of it is that the secular mind is surrounded by a richness and thickness of Being, a Womb which births the mind that shuts it out, a Womb teeming with life, with energetic beings in innumerable dimensions and realms. The secular mind is a weak candle blinded by its own light which if extinguished will see what it once thought was dark.

I concur that this is one of the most important lessons of our lives. So many people are predisposed to what you so aptly describe as "the secular mind." The tragedy is that not only are they themselves blind, but they also inflict their blindness on their fellow humans, from childhood on. Some ignore the secular and can live in the incredible beauty of the true dimensions and realms. They are blessed beyond belief.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that true believers in most cultures see themselves as superior to those who question superstitions. Few seem content to open to awe and wonder. The majority seem compelled to form and hold to outlandish stories, abandoning immediate experiences in favor of over-simplified explanations which diminish breadth of awareness. Pseudo-scientists do this as well. Opening to the widest array of experiences allows for optimal fascination. Study closely the mystic and agnostic they both seem to respect radical openness. May we question all stories and open to the widest, deepest extent of awareness. --Stan
ReplyDeleteThe unidimensional worldview feels safe and is infinitely easier then a multidimensional view. But what richness we give up for the secular view. Talking with my friend, Arne, the other day about our 42" TV sets, he lamented, "The media has the world convinced that this is all there is." --Steve
