1. Out of Hell, onto Earth, into Heaven

    …a common journey of self-discovery in the Western world.

    1. One is raised in a religion of faith, like Christianity.
    2. Never believes, or later realizes it’s bunk. Naturally arrives at an atheistic scientific materialist worldview.
    3. Somehow, discovers the divine within, as Easterners seem to be much better at doing with their PHILOSOPHIES (love of wisdom) rather than “religions” (blind faith).

    Hell

    • “Ignorance is a slave, knowledge is freedom. If we know the truth, we shall find the fruit of truth within us.”
      The Gospel of Philip, Nag Hammadi scriptures

    The Nag Hammadi scriptures are various lost & found Christian Gnostic texts (GNOsis is Greek for KNOWledge), untainted by years of organized corruption and persecution on the part of the faithful (the Christianity dominating the world today). Of course, by its nature, gnosis need not be Christian at all. A Christian guise proved useful long ago, to fly under the radar of the Christian crusade. It is still useful for making truly practical knowledge palatable for the close-minded.

    Faith alone is slavery. Only knowledge through direct cosmic experience is truth - real experimentation, the essence of science. May sound like a given, but tell that to “faithful” Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Deep down, so few of them actually believe what they say they believe.

    Only those who have made decisive contact with the inner self can truly believe - and regardless of religious belief about “where” it came from, the source of that contact is always our own nature. Religious people may connect with this inner spark (why would they be exempt?), leading them to believe that it had something to do with their beliefs, not with their inherent divinity. Convicted, they tragically waste away in lives of mental imprisonment. Like actual prison, it’s quite ironic: Finally, they experience something godly and REAL for once, but their beliefs cage their minds in from finding out more about the truth. Voila, hysterical evangelicals are born and religions THRIVE - parasites of what’s really inside all of us, regardless of belief. They are black holes - not even the light of truth can escape them!

    Praying is begging - and as we all know, “beggars can’t be choosers.” It implies a separation from oneself and “god.” Knowing is DOING - YOU are god in potential, in partial actualization, in becoming. One experiences the distinct effects of “doing” and builds a base of knowledge from these experiences.

    Earth & Heaven

    Science is measuring the material world. It is a complete misconception that the “paranormal” lacks basis in reason and reality. Measurement in metaphysical science is inherently not as clearly cut, since science precisely measures TIME and SPACE. Regardless, metaphysical phenomena certainly can be CLEARLY, UNDENIABLY felt, seen, and heard… and experienced as unmistakable shifts in state of mind (which themselves inevitably lead to higher thought and higher understanding). Those with even rudimentary metaphysical knowledge and experience do this on a REPEATABLE basis with increasing POTENCY, just like the scientists we all know and love.

    But science and “meta” science come together, naturally. A disconnect would indicate a delusion existing only within the individual’s mind, which this is not.

    For instance: Metaphysical adepts possess a hyper awareness of their own bodies (bones, muscles, organs, you name it)… and ENERGY BODIES. Life force energy (called the “kundalini” by yogis) moves through the adept’s body both unconsciously and through conscious, directed effort - even simultaneously tangibly shaping and relaxing muscles as it moves. Adepts heal themselves through utilization of this energy.

    Obviously, healing the body implies changes in biology. All sorts of experiments can be designed to provide evidence for this healing. Not that the adept needs it, because s/he is well used to his/her bones and muscles being stimulated, moved, and soothed by this energy all the time. It’s routine. The question is not whether it exists, but does it exist for you yet?
