"Truth fears no questions." Anonymous

Welcome to Spiritual Enlightenment

At some point during my adult years, I looked back on my life and realized I was a fraud. My physical world was drastically out of alignment with my spiritual one. It was similar to cooking an elaborate meal while starving, but not being able to consume it. I grew up in a very strict Christian setting dominated by Southern Baptist doctrines. Church every Sunday, choir, usher board, trustee board, Sunday school, morning service, evening service... the environment was filled with bible-toting scripture-quoting tongue-speaking hallelujah shouting folks! Fortunately, I was exposed to many people of integrity and positive influences that instilled in me priceless values. My parents emphasized education until it was drilled into my psyche. On the flip side, I was fed a lot of half-truths, partial truths, and altered truths by so-called well-meaning people. Ignorance, closed-mindedness, pride, & arrogance are likely some of the causative factors. Therefore, I impersonated what a Christian should look and act like based on deficient information. There was no valid connection between the worldly me and my higher self. I impersonated what a Christian should look and act like, but I had no real relationship with my Creator. I prayed to a God I was told to pray to quoting the prayers I was taught to quote. Like a soldier taking orders from his commanding officer: You do as you are told and trained to do whether you are feeling it or not!

Out of Nowhere

I am not sure what event triggered my self-realization, yet it was life-transforming. The process is nowhere near complete rendering an ongoing journey. A crucial part of my being that was sleep woke up and jolted me to the core. Sadly, many people live their whole lives and depart without recognizing that crucial element. My recognition of that element catapulted my mind to a higher wave length. There was a burst of clarity illuminating my understanding of almost everything.

One major area of enlightenment is human sensuality--the mother of physical intimacy. The religious forums that dominate the media treat it like it is nonexistent (unless a scandal hits the news) or something to shun from discussion. In contrast, sensuality should be celebrated and promoted within a God-ordained context. Consequently, inner eyes open, new ideas blossom, paradigms shift, and higher consciousness ensues.

Spiritual enlightenment brings about intelligence and inner peace. It is not about being a Biblical scholar or expert on religious topics because I am neither--far from it! I started this blog not just to disperse information, but to gain knowledge and expand my horizons. It is truly about making a connection with God who leads us to connecting with deeper aspects of ourselves. Those deeper aspects make up the true self...not our careers, bank accounts, personal possessions, or physical bodies.

Our Eclectic Universe

The physical universe is evidence that the Creator loves diversity. A child of the universe, planet Earth, clearly follows suit with its potpourri of life forms. Within the same life form is remarkable variation ( different species of fish, plants, human racial groups, etc). Does it not stand to reason diversity is expressed on every level of existence/consciousness? It does not matter if you are Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, etc. because you are a different expression of the same universe. Different cloths of fabric are required to construct the quilt. I discovered that all religions contribute knowledge and perspectives that are necessary to complete life's masterpiece. It seems as if everyone has a piece to the puzzle of the universe that may never be fully explained on this realm.

The paths we choose to take to self-realization are possible through the gift from God called free will. I have discovered there are far more similarities than differences between the major philosophies that lend more support of each other than contradiction. Besides, I dare to count the numerous contradictions that exist just within the Christian faith. Historical and present events demonstrate other religions are plagued with the same multiple interpretations/variations. At one time, the news was flooded with horror stories of conflicts between the Sunni and Shiite Muslims...there is only one Quran is there not??? No one, no science, no religion has escaped the divisiveness of multiple perspectives. Conflicting interpretations give birth to confusion, disbelief, and disillusionment.

One will be greatly distracted if not focused on their own inner voice. It's the God inside of you and me. Ultimately, that is the key: Hearing your own inner voice because once that occurs everything else falls into place.

The Ultimate Reality Check

A new and extraordinary perspective of our universe and human existence is emerging due to leaping advances in scientific research. Quantum Mechanics, in particular, is knocking down the walls that separates science from spirituality and uprooting long-standing traditional belief systems.

Tearing Down Tradition

Getting Down To The Truth
Both traditional science and religion offer explanations that support their respective interests. The theory of evolution suggests that the human race originated from apes and monkeys or a common ancestor that we share with them. The Big Boom supposedly gave rise to a massive explosion that yielded the planet and its multi-faceted and organized systems of life. Creationism is the religious belief that everybody and everything came into existence from divine or supernatural intervention. Humans were always humans from the beginning of their existence as opposed to pre-evolved creatures. Traditional fields of studies and belief systems have been widely accepted by the mainstream population for centuries and promoted by those in power. Nevertheless, the spiritual teachings of the eastern world seem to have a better grasp of the true nature of our universe...Most of the principles of eastern spiritualism can be applied to everybody and everything not just a particular school of thought. Fortunately, the rest of us are starting to wake up and are rapidly catching up. Major landmark discoveries are emerging that punch big holes in the life boat of traditional science and religion. As more and more people are awakening, they are jumping off the sinking boat and swimming in the waters of truth.
Does anybody know what is really going on?😒

 Conventional schools of thought are being demolished by 3 major areas of discovery:

1.  Quantum research has proven that everything in our reality, physical and nonphysical, is waves of energy vibrating at different frequencies. Scientists have also discovered that the portion of the universe that we call matter, the part we can detect with our 5 senses, is less than than 5% of the existing universe. The basis of all matter are subatomic particles-atoms containing electrons, neutrons, and protons, but mostly empty space. Advanced scientific research in quantum physics has opened up a universe of subatomic behavior that scientists find baffling, yet fascinating. For example, the observer effect which dictate how a phenomenon will behave based on the expectations of the observer. Consequently, providing concrete evidence that mental energy or consciousness shapes our realities.
2.  The discovery of ancient spiritual and esoteric writings that predate sacred texts, such as the Holy Bible. According to the article 5 Holy Books That Predate The Bible, one of these include the Egyptian Book of the Dead first written around 3150 BC which state the 10 commandments almost verbatim as quoted in the Holy Bible. Another is The Epic of Gilgamesh that tell stories of a great flood and the serpent in the Garden of Eden being written in 2100 BC. The old testament of the Bible is believed to have been written much later between the 10th and 6th centuries BC.
3.  Anthropological findings of artifacts and the ruins of ancient cities that are billions of years older than the birth date of our planet and human life according to the teachings of creationism. The credibility of human evolution has been tarnished by the unearthing of human fossils with modern day features, just like us, but millions of years old from an era when we were purportedly pre-human Neanderthals. A significant number of the anthropological findings around the world are computer-like devices and machinery millions of years old that would be far above the cerebral abilities and the technology available to a primitive people.


Seek and Ye Shall Find

 There is no question that we are living in exciting times as we are bombarded with mind-blowing scientific discoveries. Many of the them supporting spiritual teachings that were initially rejected by the scientific community...the existence of the human soul, life-after-death, and so on. As more and more concrete evidence of the true nature of our existence emerges, we must maintain an open mind toward new perspectives. In fact, questioning traditional beliefs is a sign of intelligence, innovation, and cognitive growth. We must realize the fact that tradition has been vastly impacted by both flawed techniques with good intentions and precise techniques with devious intentions. Either way, human beings have been mislead and the truth of our universe has been hidden from the masses...until now. Men and women of earth are awakening in record numbers, actively seeking truth, obliterating conventional thought patterns, and forging a road to true enlightenment.
Finding your own purpose in life places you in the direct path towards the Light.
The best way to find God is to, first, find yourself.
