For most people belief in a Divine presence is an abstract ideology
Belief is God has to be cultivated -
preferably from childhood onwards
if done religiously
it can encourage a sense of grace
non-belief in an almighty god dulls consciousness
it leaves a person without wonder
left without grace,
there is little or no real appreciation
for the awesome beauty of life
surrounding all of us
it takes away the poet within
leaves us thankless
a belief in God, no matter how abstract, changes all of that
it makes for the praise-giver
it is why song and music have soared out of the human heart in every culture
hence the reason why religious cults started up in the first place
a Divine cult is initiated by an individual who has a super-natural encounter with the a Higher Consciousness
just who and how that Higher Conscious contact is interpreted
has to be filtered through the relatively lower consciousness of the recipient of that period
All the major religions were started long before formal scientific investigation of the Universe began
thus early man's idea of god was earth-centered
in the Stone Age God was present in the spirits of Nature and the blessings of the hunt
In the Bronze Age the blessing of God was centered on the harvest,
on shamans who mediated with ancestral spirits and offered sacrifices asking them to speak to higher gods
bards and poets verbalized mythologies centered on Sungods, Windgods, Raingods, Lovegods, Wargods etc
In the a Iron Age, when populations expanded exponentially some 6000 years ago
the management of human resources and behavior became increasingly difficult
that is when the first Holy Scriptures were formally written down
theologies on who God was and what He expected of us were generalized into rigid dogmas
designed to control illicit behavior
those old Iron Age interpretations of who God is remain with us today
but they no longer have the same mysterious power over the human mind
and church congregations that they once had
the reason why religious dogma has come under increasing protest
has been because of the advances of science
almost all the mystery is gone
we now know how gravity controls the universe
how the weather functions
that man evolved from primates
In this new Nuclear Age
with thoughtful people realizing that Belief in God is far more graceful than non-belief
the question of who and what then is God
is vital to our continued advances in an increasingly over-populated world
this is where my religious story begins
it is about a super-natural contact with a loving and compassionate Higher Consciousness
in a Johannesburg park 40 years ago
and how that extra-ordinary contact with ions of ecstatic light
radiating a compassionate greeting out of our Sun
was filtered through my modern scientifically-trained consciousness
my story is about Universal Truth
explaining who and what God is
God has no particular form
He/She is manifest in every form throughout the Cosmos
from star to grain of sand
the human form articulates the Divine Form perfectly
this story
is about the initiation of a New Atomic Age Cult
of how the New Child of this New Globalized Age
needs to be religiously cultivated in Atomic Consciousness
and why I believe I have a family mission
rearing perfect children
who are cultivated to see God Consciousness radiating in every atomic element
who realize that the whole of the elemental universe, not just the atoms in mankind,
are all forms of Divine Cosmic Conscious
that is my mission
rearing a new age family who will show the way forward
i have learned much on how to do it
made mistakes along the way
and learned even more from them
and i will not rest until it is accomplished
