Chapter 5 MANY ARE CALLED (The Beginning and the End)

 Chapter 5 continued. (Soon to be published)


This, however, does not apply to the phenomenal reality. Thanks to Einstein, we already know that the ‘reality’ in which we live in not real. That it is an illusion even though... a very persistent one.
Hence, we, a species that in terms of infinity is still in the kindergarten, regard it as real.
And... strangely enough, so we should!
The purpose of the phenomenal reality is to test if the theoretical creative potential can assume a phenomenal form. Whether the theory and practice can coexist. As stated, this theoretical potential is the reality that abides in the eternal NOW. Perhaps erroneously, most religions do NOT recognize a Heaven that can be experienced while still within our physical bodies. While still ‘alive’. As a place where no harm can come to anyone whose consciousness has merged with the Omnipresent Creative Energy.
Well, they are wrong. Heaven is within us.
Nevertheless, this Consciousness of Heaven lacks the aspect of practical, no matter how transient, reality. It is like talking about love never having loved anyone. Like imagining beauty without ever having seen the incredible wonders of nature. It is like talking about the Universe, never having seen the night sky peppered with countless stars and galaxies.
Yet Heaven is none of these things.
Heaven is a condition, a state, a consciousness of infinite, inexhaustible, indestructible Potential. An infinite plethora of Energy waiting to be used. To be manifested. To be made ‘real’, even for just a little while. Even for a fraction of the illusory eternity. It is the Energy of irrepressible creative desire. For this Energy, it is the becoming that matters. A becoming that strives ever-closer to the perfection of the Infinite Potential.
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect,” (Matthew 5:48) as Yeshûa is said to have said, in his inimitable, poetic way.
BTW, have you noticed the word ‘which’ rather than ‘who’? The scribes didn’t manage to stray from the truth.

And this is where we come in.
We are Its means of becoming. The instruments. The carriers of life.
We are the sensual part of the creative process. However, there is a price to be paid for the experience of life. The price is the time factor. As we cannot experience infinity in a transient body, we are destined to experience only tiny fractions of the wonder of the Creative Process.
We can partake in It to the degree to which we can become aware of the wondrous Creative Energy within us. Yes, it is the same Energy that created, and continues to create, the infinity of the Universe. We are tiny, Lilliputian gods, doing our best with what we got...

And then comes the painful part. People call it death.
But there is no death!
Our true Self simply transfers its energy of consciousness to a reality of a higher rate of vibration. If our ego deserves it, they move together. When we fulfill our dharma, our destiny, we give up our illusion of phenomenal life on Earth, at least for a while.
Yet our destination is also transient. Until the next chance we get to advance a minute fraction towards our true potential. Infinity always recedes beyond the next horizon.
And this applies not only to us.
Other species are also given periods of rest. Of their artificial consciousness abiding in a reality of a higher rate of vibration. This is an ongoing evolutionary process.
The only difference between us and other species is the rate of vibration of the energy generated by our brain. Other species continue to abide in the Garden of Eden. They, for the most part, obey the dictates of nature (which reacts to the dictates of Higher Consciousness). If not, they die, only to be born again and keep trying. A little like us. The only yet fundamental difference is the absence of pride in their ego. Oh yes, they to have egos, but they do not suffer from the hunger of power that only knowledge can give. Power to rule others. To dominate others. To bask in our own pride.
Have you noticed that a dog or a cat, abandoned, never blame others, their so-called masters? “What have I done wrong?” they seem to ask themselves. And if reunited their joy is effusive. Never mixed with a sense of guilt let alone accusation.
No. Other species still enjoy subliminal obedience to the Universal Laws. Whatever they might be.
We do not.
Periodically various species that exhausted or fulfilled their phenomenal potential become extinct, making room, within the same environment, for new diversity. We do not have to be preoccupied with maintaining such species beyond their allotted time. We must never forget that energy cannot be destroyed. This includes the energy that we refer to as life. Not physical life, of course, but the Energy of life which made the physical manifestation possible. The Energy which converted a single sperm and an ovum into an entity of billions upon billions of cells.
That, my friends, takes a lot of ‘energy’.
 The species seemingly extinct simply transfer their consciousness to another illusory carrier. They continue until their new brain produces sufficient self-awareness to become aware of their higher purpose.
If they have the potential to survive, they will. If not, then another chance will be given them later, in the infinity of phenomenal time. Nothing is ever wasted. Their contribution to diversity is absorbed by the Potential, to be used, again and again, to contribute to still greater diversity. Thanks to them, and us, and all the fauna and flora, the Universe continues to expand.
Yes, fauna and flora.
Imagine.
A tree draws water from its roots and sucks it up to feed leaves up to 300 feet high, at the very top of their branches. There, the leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air to produce oxygen.
How?
It takes six molecules of CO2 to produce one molecule of glucose by photosynthesis, and release six molecules of oxygen. And to create photosynthesis it draws energy from sunlight which travels 93,000,000 miles (150,000,000 kilometers) to make this possible. The light gets here in about 8 minutes.
The oxygen keeps us alive. And not only us but all aerobic organisms. Animals and plants, even fungi and many bacteria are all aerobic and use cellular respiration to make energy. Yes, phenomenal energy that supports phenomenal life. Try not breathing for a while and see what happens to your energy.

Chapter 5 MANY ARE CALLED


“Pragmatism asks its usual question. ‘Grant an idea or belief to be true,’ it says, what concrete difference will
 its being true make in anyone's actual life?
How will the truth be realized?”
William James, (1842—1910) 
American psychologist and philosopher

“Many are Called but Few are Chosen”
Matthew 22:14 KJV

“I am just a child who has never grown-up.
I still keep asking these 'how' and 'why' questions.
 Occasionally, I find an answer.”
Stephen Hawking (1942 – 2018)
English theoretical physicist, cosmologist


As already mentioned in various contexts, the ‘Beginning’ ends when we start listening to the silent voice within. Quite “many are called”(1) and they begin to suspect that there is more than just the phenomenal Universe. That energies are not only those defined as such by our aspiring scientists but that they include all forces that contribute to the reality we live in. Even the forces, or energies, that cannot be measured by the most sophisticated technological instrumentation.
Nevertheless, quite a few are CALLED.
At this stage the ‘call’ is a whisper vaguely perceived, of course, by our artificial consciousness. By our Ego. By the consciousness generated by our phenomenal, hence illusory brain.  Our true self, the I AM, is the sender of the call.
But, it’s a start. A blessed, wondrous start.
It is the period of transition.
Also, this is the only part of the phenomenal stage of our evolution that is controlled by our artificial intelligence. We might call it the kindergarten in which we are gradually becoming aware of who we are. Of who we really are.
It is indeed the Beginning of the End of the illusory existence. Of the transient illusion.
It is the first step towards finding our way back to Eden. To Paradise. Remember, the Paradise is within you. Within every one of us. And from within come the inspirations of the great artists. Perhaps the most famous example of creativity coming from within is given us by Ludwig von Beethoven (1770 - 1827). He is reported to have dated his hearing loss from a fit he suffered in 1798.

"For two years I have avoided almost all social gatherings because it is impossible for me to say to people 'I am deaf'," he wrote. "If I belonged to any other profession it would be easier, but in my profession, it is a frightful state."


Other sources date the start of his losing hearing from the age of 26. By the time he reached 44, he was almost totally deaf. It must have been devastating for him. Yet he composed his 3rd symphony, the Eroica when he was already 33 well on the way of becoming deaf.
A prominent reviewer proclaimed the ‘Eroica’, which he composed in 1803 (and premiered in Vienna in 1805)  as "one of the most original, most sublime, and most profound products that the entire genre of music has ever exhibited."

“By 1824, at the end of the premiere of his Ninth Symphony, he had to be turned around to see the tumultuous applause of the audience because he could hear neither it nor the orchestra.”
(Wikipedia)

His heavenly music must have come from a heavenly source, from Heaven, that he discovered within himself.


There are many other examples of great ideas that were born “within”, that originated in our dreams, in fact in lucid-dreams.
Einstein’s speed of light; Mary Shelly’ first Sci-Fi novel; Paul McCartney’s “Music that Inspires Music”; Niels Bohr’s structure of an atom, Elias Howe’s invention of the sewing machine; the mathematical genius of Srinivasa Ramanujan that proved more than 3,000 mathematical theorems in his lifetime; and many other original thoughts and creative ideas, both scientific and artistic, have their origin in dreams.
In our unconscious.
Our creative source is inexhaustible. All we need do is find it. Within.


As mentioned in DELUSIONS, Infinity has neither beginning nor end. If it had, it would not be infinite. It cannot abide in the past, nor in the future. It can only exist in the present. It can exist only in the eternal NOW.
Heaven is beyond the limitations of time.
Or any dimension.
Or any limitation.
Heaven neither was, nor will be.
Heaven IS.


The book will soon be published. Your comments are welcome.
