The most important aspect, in the development
of one's spirituality, is the development of one's concept of God. From
previous articles, I think that I have given a fair description of my personal
concepts. Nevertheless, if you have just joined us here and have not taken
the time to read my previous articles, I will reiterate some of the most
important points.
In the process of searching for healing for my body and soul
I discovered that the development of a spiritual path was paramount in
the attainment of that healing. I came to believe that mankind suffers,
not so much from the poverty and the sickness of the body, but rather from
a poverty and a sickness of the soul. As long as mankind imagines
that there is not enough of what he thinks he needs, that it's each man
for himself, and that nothing is sacred, the race will probably degenerate,
and eventually become extinct.
A way out of this degenerative spiral may be
found in the words: "We came to believe in a Power, greater than ourselves,
that could restore us to sanity." I truly believe that until humanity,
as a whole, can come to believe in a Power, greater than itself; a Force
that energizes and guides all things, apart from the religious and mystical
constructs of men; the race will not survive long enough to evolve into
that which it was created to be.
First of all, the Power that I envision is
not a religious icon, nor is It a Being that exists apart from It's creation.
I would suppose that if you wanted to attach some sort of nomenclature
to my particular philosophy, you might say that I am somewhat Pantheistic.
I see all things as being made up of God, or to put it a little differently,
that God expresses though all things. All things and all people have a
spark of the Divine within them. Individuals can nurture this Spark into
a blazing beacon of light, or shove into a dark corner. It's all a matter
of choice, or Natural Selection, based upon experience and what I call
"engrams".
Engrams are "charged experiences." Charged
experiences occur throughout Nature, from molecules to man. A charged experience
is one in which a particle or a person is so impacted by an event that
it leaves a lasting impression which then influences all further choices,
attractions and trajectories. One of the most important conclusions that
I have drawn, from what I have learned, is that all things are governed
by certain unmalleable laws, and that as we discover those laws and how
