Spiritual Awakening
You can call it the Second Coming, the Quickening, Assentation, or some science fiction evolution of the species from biology to energy; regardless of how you get there – many, if not all, future predictions, regardless of source end in some type of spiritual awakening.
Leaving all my Holier than thou and overly righteous religious attitudes at the door – we have to admit to ourselves that over and over in a multitude of themes, by multiple cultures, and over multiple time periods – there is constantly this connection between mortal animal man and that which is more - more energy than matter, more essence of spirit than biology.
Religious teaching, clairvoyance, prophesy, ghost, spirits, demons, or divine inspiration all tell us that there is something more beyond our current perception as animal.
Gnostic Scripture:
"The Archons cast a trance over Adam which caused him to be sleepy, but it was his perception they dulled ... They make our hearts heavy that we may not pay attention and may not see. So we lose the reflection of the Divine Light within us ... The Archons burden the soul, attracting us to works of evil, and pull us down into oblivion, make us forget who we are. (The Apocrypha of John II 22: 14-10, though 27-20.)" (metahistory.org/Gnostic Catechism)
The Second Treatise of the Great Seth, another text of gnostic origin, "... explains how the Archons induce a false plan of salvation into the human mind, a counterfeit of the true plan of self-liberation we can take by developing our innate potential of Nous, 'divine-intelligence.' ..." (metahistory.org/ExtrarerrestrialRelioion.php)
The First Book of Adam and Eve (100 BC - 200 AD Egypt): Chapter VIII - 1 Then Adam cried and said, "O God, when we lived in the garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the angels that sang praises in heaven, but now we can't see like we used to; no, when we entered the cave, all creation became hidden from us." 2 Then God the Lord said to Adam, "When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you, and for that reason could you see things far away. But after your transgression your bright nature was withdrawn from you; and it was not left to you to see things far away, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish." 3 When Adam and Eve had heard these words from God, they went their way; praising and worshipping Him with a sorrowful heart.
John 3:1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew
You have to answer for yourself if we are: 1) simply biological and there is no duality to our natures. - Why? (as a great man once said) Because spirituality is the only intelligent life goal of mortality! 2) biological in origin but birth to an inner essence, that if matured, can survive us after death, 3) or that we are spiritual creatures that are experiencing life within biology.
Spirit Quest
Awakening within us this inner spark of consciousness – isn’t that the end goal of all religions? Re-awakening that bright nature and re-connecting to the galactic consciousness. How we achieve this individually is a personal choice. Native American Vision Quest, Australian Walkabout, Tibetan cave sitting Monk and perpetual fast might all offer pathways to spiritual enlightenment. Christ is available to bridge the gap for those of us that are weak in spirit, yet sincere in belief and faith.
On a mass scale
However – on the mass scale – let’s speculate about the power of the combined effect. Why is there a belief that if you get more people to pray for little Jimmy he will heal faster. Prayer wheels, circles, chains and groups work around the clock trying to change the future through the power of prayer.
Scripture tells us we can move mountains if we just had faith. Where ever two or more are gathered in His name there He also is.
White witches of Wicca practice a strange ritual called circle magic. Picture a pentagram drawn on the floor. A black candle is burning at the center of the pentagram and a naked witch is sitting at each point facing the candle. Each witch is tugging at their end of a knotted rope all tied together in the center, above the burning black candle, like spokes on a wagon wheel. They pull against each other while focusing their gaze at the flame of the black candle. The point is to focus all their thoughts into a central composite force. Tuning – or training – their thoughts to join together and be more powerful together.
Now imagine – new and catastrophic earth change – California and Nevada are lost under the ocean, the New Madrid fault rips open into the Mississippi Bay – and that is just in America. Imagine the catastrophic loss of life on a global scale.
When a billion individual spirits, suddenly and in unison, all reach out for salvation--- Could this mass event open the door to the predicted future global spiritual awakening and humanity will never be the same?
