Science mostly embraces the theory of ‘The Big Bang’, the point of origin from which the Universe emerged - that mighty explosion which gave rise to Creation.
The Holy Books begin their story with God saying “Let there be Light”, and establishing the foundation upon which Creation would rest.
Both are valid, both contribute to the hidden teachings of the Spiritual Path... and by understanding these we gain a deeper insight on how to achieve Enlightenment.
Here are the hidden teachings :-
At this moment Creation is still moving, expanding, bringing in more and more ‘new stuff’ into play... and equally our Life must grow, blossom, expand, and bring in ‘the new’.
If yours is not doing this, then you’re stagnating, retreating, moving against the Path of Spirit [basically, you’re turning your back to Creation... but hey, it’s your choice!]
Yet in embracing this unlimited exploration we must remain centered, otherwise all this stuff will ‘own and possess us’... and to support us God gave us the first Teaching - “Light”... all you do, embrace, claim, receive...all must be ‘of the Light’.
So consider your thoughts, your words, your actions, and ask yourself IF they are ‘of the Light’ - or do they stem from abuse, corruption, greed, selfishness... Do your actions create pain to others ? Are you the cause of others’ suffering ? Are you aligned with Darkness, with Greed, with Evil Violence, with Corruption and Destruction...?
You can’t rationalize your actions by mouthing platitudes and excuses, by turning to legal precepts, or labeling what you do as being peccadillos [little sins, of small consequence]... or worse, claim your wrath as ‘Rightful Indignation’ as you beat up others to do your bidding... You cannot present yourself before God and claim that even though you were not truly ‘of the Light’, yet equally you were not ‘of Darkness’, and more: “You simply did what everyone else was doing...so you should be exempt from consequences”.
I’ve got news for you: you are either of the Light, or of the Darkness... That grey area in-between is the Path of Transition, you can’t stay there and claim ‘immunity’, for all ‘grayness’ show the direction of movement; thus you are either moving to the Light or to Darkness... [ and however fast you get there will determine your Karma, and is a good reflection of who / what you really are !].
Hear me well - You CANNOT fool God... whatever you do in this Life WILL create your next Life [be this on a physical plane, or - if you believe in Hell or Purgatory - on the Inner Planes].
So, let’s be clear: YOU are the creator of what will befall you !
[You can’t blame mommy or daddy, or the big bad government, or the church, or society... Suck it up - you have Free Will, use it !]
Here are some Keys to help you sort it all out:-
God is within you... search for the Divine Light within - that is the fastest Path to Enlightenment.
Power, Status, Ego, Greed... all are the temptations of Darkness.
Very few people can use them without becoming possessed.
Whatever ‘value / importance’ something has, it’s only your personal perception - it is not a Universal Truth.
Whatever attachments you have [to thing or belief] now possesses you - you just gave up your Free Will.
The ultimate purpose of this Life is to create a better world - thus will God judge you.
Do good... Be good...
this is the Path of God
Your actions will save or condemn you... and this you do to yourself ! The Teachings are simple and clear...
I’ll see you all on the Path... embrace the Journey my beloved Brothers and Sisters...
Namaste...
