Honoring Steve

First off, let me say that I honor Steve’s decision. I did the same thing on my first website. Way back when a Guest Book was the only means of posting individual comments, I removed the Book due to undesirable comments.

I contributed blogs on Crossleft regarding the topics of reincarnation and our galactic family because, from the years of research I have done, I believe them to be topics that churches will have to face head on in the very near future. So much has been covered up from the time of Constantine and the early ecumenical councils on down through the ensuing 1500 years. Along with the internet came opportunities for thousands to research on their own. What has been covered up is now coming into the open and being shared on numerous websites.

Christians will increasingly encounter the need to discern truth for themselves … to research and find answers on their own … and to determine for themselves what impact these heretofore hidden facts have on their faith and spiritual journey. By introducing the subjects in blogs, I was inviting Christians to begin to think of their lives in a broader sense and to recognize that God’s world contains far more life and wonders than we have suspected.

The resulting upheaval on Crossleft is a very small sample of what it will be like when the myriad cover-ups are exposed … and that is happening at this very moment. For ministers in particular, I would think preparing ahead for the multitude of questions that will come your way would be most beneficial. It will no longer suffice to voice the old response “that’s not a part of Christianity.” Much that is being uncovered is a part of human and universal life—religion has nothing to do with it. God’s creation and universal laws are not based on manmade religions.

Angelo mentioned his church is now discussing reincarnation. I would think that introducing the subjects of reincarnation and our galactic family in the form of an invitation to discuss them together would be a means of preparing your congregations. No dogmatic pro or con decisions need be made … simply allow your congregations to openly discuss the topics. Guide your members into thinking for themselves—into seeking and discerning truth for themselves.

I can tell you, from my years of teachings metaphysical classes to mostly former church members, that your members will go outside the church community to seek truth. Why not allow them to seek within the church? Once people move forward on their spiritual search and find the answers to their questions outside the church, it is next to impossible to return to it. Why not allow churches and members to grow together?

Constantine and the ecumenical councils began a tradition that has continued into the 21st century—that of telling Christians what they are to believe and enforcing strict adherence to the accepted doctrines. That’s why Christians have not grown up with a recognition of reincarnation and our galactic family. Archaeological research has uncovered irrefutable evidence of beings from other planets residing for varying periods of time on Earth. Had churches been open all along to integrating newfound knowledge into the Christ-centered spiritual journey, we would not be having this discussion today.

I have supplied numerous websites and names of books in the hope that you will explore them. Two of the recommended websites center around the various levels of conscious awareness accessible by humankind.

http://www.noetic.org/about/vision.cfm The Institute of Noetic Sciences was founded by former astronaut, Edgar Mitchell, as a result of the mystical experiences he had while in space.

http://www.monroeinstitute.com/program.php?program_id=17 The curriculum at Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia includes training in remote viewing. Skip Atwater, President of the Monroe Institute, is the primary trainer in remote viewing. Atwater is a former Operations and Training Officer for the U.S. Army intelligence remote viewing surveillance. The CIA also uses remote viewing surveillance.

Life is far more than we know … you, as a being made in the image of God, are far greater than you know! I encourage all of you to explore on your own. And remember Paul’s address on “gifts of the spirit” in I Corinthians 14.

It is up to each of you to determine for yourself how life in the world relates to your Christian faith.

Now, on to blogging about other topics.
