Our past is taken away from us by our future
The Western mind has been molded by the great scientists of the past: Galileo, Newton, and Einstein. In their time and with their technology, each of these brilliant minds left a legacy that explained the world in which they lived. However, when they imparted their intelligence upon us, they, nonetheless, took a vital part of our past away from us.
Formulae and statistics cannot and will not ever acknowledge or explain the unseen world around us
One of the lasting legacies of these brilliant minds is that knowledge and reason are reduced to formulae. These magical numbers, which are beyond the comprehension of most, can and do explain everything that we can possibly experience or question within and about our lives. We are inundated with the idea that science is logic and logic does not support the unseen.
Rational minds dismiss the influence from the unseen
Thus, a rational mind only believes what is seen and explained by science. It is sheer folly to believe in miracles within a world of logic and reason. It is of little wonder that in a recent survey the majority of the respondents did not believe in a Supreme Being.
Ancient messages are seen as metaphors but with little substance or relevance
With the belief that science is the supreme intelligence, it appears that the wisdom and message of the ancients is all but mocked and discarded. Their wise messages about the universe we inhabit are seen as cute metaphors that are interesting, but, hold no substance or no answers.
New physics challenges the view that some have of the unseen and irrational
Then along came the new physics which is represented by the likes of Max Planck, John Wheeler, David Bohm, and Karl Pribram who challenge the science and scientists of the past. In essence, the general belief from these scientists is that the universe, and therefore, everything within it is connected by a field of energy that responds and grows from our attention and participation. Hence, we all contribute and create within the ever-expanding universe in which we find ourselves in.
A divine web of existence has connected us since the universe was created
This message of connection and participation is the same as described within the founding legends of past societies when they spoke of their life. Almost 5000 years ago, the ancient ones lived their lives based upon the principles of a divine web or net of creation. Even though we have been aware of these guiding principles, it is only now that scientists are beginning to realize what the wise ones of the past knew and practiced all along.
Humankind is at a crossroads and our future depends upon our view of the ideas from the past
It now appears that those who believed in the unseen were right from the very beginning as modern-day science now proves. It seems that humankind is currently at a crossroads which could determine our very existence in the near future. Hence, the messages that ancient cultures left for us we’re not all in vain or without reason. Still, we need to embrace these ancient values and messages in order to make progress and live a life filled with spirituality and oneness with the Creator of the cosmos.
