A NEW BEGINNING
Planetization also leads us into a more expanded and evolved spiritual understanding and expression. It represents only one aspect of a larger species-wide spiritual renewal that is emerging in large part, through our scientific and technological advances.
A renaissance of new ideas, insights and perspectives where Spirit, consciousness and energy reign supreme is being made possible as science begins to more and more serve the interests of our spiritual unfolding through the work of researchers at The Institute of Noetic Sciences and elsewhere. A New Science/New Spirituality paradigm is gradually emerging out the cutting edge fields of Consciousness Studies, Psi Studies, the exploration of subtle energy phenomenon, and several other of the so-called 'frontier sciences'. All these phenomenon are energy based. What the word 'energy' conjures up in our minds is undergoing a radical shift not only in terms of renewable resources gradually gaining in importance over fossil fuels - but in a larger shift in our reality construct as well. Through the Planetization inner work, for instance, we'll collectively begin to view Love as a powerful energy which like electro-magnetic energy, solar energy or wind energy, we can harness and utilize for the good of all.
Besides a much broader understanding and evolved utilization of the energies available to us, an equally important seminal influence now bringing about this species-wide spiritual renewal is a new holy book, a new sacred text, one already being compiled and disseminated over the internet by those who have experienced NDE's. This new holy book provides us with a spiritual framework that is grounded in our future - not our past. It's not tied to the historical narrative of any one particular group of people, but is cross-cultural. Those now writing it, are leading the way into a more inclusive and extraordinary spiritual landscape. They come from every ethnic group and Nation, every social class and educational background. Some of them are children, some are elders. They've been born into every spiritual tradition of our species, and although they live on every part of our home planet, their teachings are universal and speak to all.
This doesn't mean that the great religious leaders of the past such as the Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Lao Tse and others no longer have relevance. They have a continual presence and guiding influence over our species because they live now in the timeless eternity that transcends any one particular human experience at a specific historical moment. We can still devote ourselves to a deeply personal loving relationship with them to guide us in our lives, and the uncorrupted essence of their teachings will find corroboration from the experiences of those who have had NDE's (Near Death Experiences). We must acknowledge the fact that corruption of the original teachings of the major religions of the Middle East - Christianity, Islam and Judaism- has become a major factor to the instability that now exists in this very important part of the world. These original teachings have been subverted to focus on hate rather than love, war and destruction over peace, and separatism over oneness. We must address the religious roots of the problem if we ever hope to bring peace to that part of our world, and the rest of our home planet.
Today, we tend to view the first-person accounts of those who have had NDE's in a mundane way, sometimes through an overly-clinical context, or dismiss them altogether as fiction... But as more and more of these personal accounts are compiled and archived, they'll eventually come to be regarded as the most valuable spiritual resource and guide available to us. They are beginning to usher in a second Age of Discovery even more extraordinary and fantastic than the first... And like those living in the Old World who lived to see Marco Polo, Christopher Columbus and Sir Francis Drake return from their extraordinary voyages to the New World and lands of previously unimaginable wonder, we'll gain a new found appreciation for this unique historical moment we live in, where so many of these individuals can now bring back to us a wealth of information about the magnificent splendor of spiritual planes previously unknown to us.
A common thread can be discerned running through the experiences of these spiritual voyagers. Just reading through their experiences greatly expands the parameters of our understanding of our Oneness... and Love... and the Supreme Cosmic Consciousness in which we all live, move and have our being. The new level of spiritual understanding they now make possible can never be distorted by an overlay of doctrine or dogma. They'll never require a priestly caste to 'interpret' this new scripture for us. This new holy book of profound spiritual renewal won't divide us along religious lines - but unite us together in the commonality of our spiritual journey.
Our modern advances in the fields of trauma care and emergency medicine have enabled this new holy book to come into being. To glimpse the sublime heights and wondrous vistas of this extraordinary spiritual landscape now entering into our human experience click here... and click here... Contrast the most detailed of these accounts with our present level of spiritual understanding and the entrenched divisiveness and danger of global conflagration that now exists in our world due to religious differences. Then judge for yourself not only which spiritual vision has the most to offer us by way of guidance and wisdom - but also which is more faithful to the teachings of the great spiritual masters of all times.
