Cosmic Reflections

"1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." Genesis 1:1-5

It is a masterpiece intentionally orchestrated by the Creator—the Alpha, the Omega, the First Being, the Last Being, the Author of all that was, is and ever will be.

 

An Unexpected Odyssey

Our origins are beyond the mind as is our destination. I did not know that I had forgotten this truth and through the course of my life developed a strong preference for empirical, tangible, and observable experiences, which prevented me from remembering that which I had forgotten. Over the course of my life and in several profound moments, the epistemological underpinnings of my view of God, myself, others and the world, I experienced a profound shift sometimes gradual, other times mind-shattering.  All leading to an accumulation of life changing and directing experiences.  Today, I am fascinated by the astonishing authorship of our Creator. I am thankful for my growing appreciation and gratitude to have the opportunity to express in my own words the beauty of God's divine providence.  It has taken me some time to come to terms with my experiences of life - I would not wish my experiences of life on anyone.  Today I am profoundly thankful to understand the meaning of living life as a human being – which is a process of human becoming. What I mean by this is that before we became beings, we were being becoming’s.  I know this sounds preposterous.  Most paradoxes are preposterous until they are not.  Imagine a mobius strip – that’s the best way I can describe the paradox of being a character created by the author in the image of the author.  Be very careful with these types of cognitions – they can be dangerous spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically.  We are the words on the page – our Father, the Creator, The First Being, The First Tone, The Alpha, The Omega, The Last Tone is the Author. And the astonishing twist in his story is that the author joins the characters! And then drama happens, etc., etc.  What a beautiful story.  I’m honored to be a small part of his story – and in each breath of life I receive – I am reminded that the past, present and future has already been written down by the author.  We’re simply words and characters on his page.  The story wouldn’t be very interesting if there weren’t protagonists and antagonists and motivations for the characters to act!  What a beautiful journey and process we are all a part of.  We all have our parts to play and I’m thankful that I am able to share my experiences of life through my own words here.  If my words seem odd or different or “there’s just something” about my writings… well that’s ok… what I think is happening is when you read what I write or say there is likely some part of you deep down inside that is being tickled because as I’ve said – we are words on pages – before we were written in the book by the offer, we were crafted in the mind of the author – and that’s amazing. So like any good story, my particular part was definitely full of ups and downs, uncertainty, joy, striving, longing and seeking. What an arduous journey for each and every one of us!  I’m thankful that today, I can appreciate that each of us have the opportunity experience transformation – becoming – because that’s what being is – it is becoming.  In this process of becoming we each have the opportunity to recognize that we are all part of a divine odyssey, and the omnipresence of God is being revealed to us in every aspect of our lives if we have the courage to see that which we have been called to see.  We are characters in a love story that has been written by the Author of all things and all time and all space.  The First Being, God the Father, the Author loves and respects His characters enough to guide us and allow us to make choices – what great author doesn’t do this?! 

 

Pivotal Moments & Themes

Convergence: My journey has taken me through a diverse array of experiences, spanning from the streets to the classroom, from military service to the boardroom, and even to the halls of medical institutions and places of worship. Along this eclectic path, I came to realize the profound interconnectedness of all things, the harmonious interplay of time and space—a truth that now rests unequivocally in my understanding. It is a humbling reminder that God's plan surpasses any we might conceive.

The Power of Personal Testimony: Each crisis faced, every revelation experienced, and each transformative moment is gradually being woven into a narrative, an insight, a poem, or a work of art. I offer these testimonies with profound humility, in the hope that they might provide a glimpse into the transformative evolution from skepticism to deep faith that each of us can undergo when we embrace truths that transcend mere intellectual understanding. This journey underscores the deliberate design of our existence by our Creator—a plan far superior to any we could devise.

Struggles and Renewal: Life's journey is demanding, and none of us are exempt from its trials and tribulations. As scripture reminds us, the path we are called to walk is narrow. My journey began on such a precarious path, leading me into the wilderness. Yet, through God's grace, despite the mental, emotional, and spiritual storms I weathered, I eventually found my way back to the narrow path ordained by the Creator. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, each challenge forged a renewed and unwavering faith within me, reaffirming the truth that we are intentionally created beings.

Nature of Consciousness: Initially, my quest was focused on restoring my cognitive faculties, but it led me to profound experiences that delved into the very essence of consciousness itself. My consciousness expanded beyond its boundaries, piercing the veils of perception and granting me glimpses of the unseen. As the dust settled from these profound moments, I began to unravel the layers of my experiences. Today, I continue to gain insights into the nature of consciousness, all within the context of understanding that our consciousness is a divine gift, a reflection of the intentional design by our Creator.

 

Rebirth: This marked the commencement of my personal journey of self-reflection. The gift of my reflections and memories provides profound insights into consciousness, reality, Creation, and our Heavenly Father, God. I persist in exploring the transcendent qualities of consciousness while marveling at the divine implications of these truths—truths that we have always known, whether through the information we possess, the endowment of wisdom, or the divine inspiration we receive. Today, I offer my experiences as a testament to the greater divine truth—a truth that underscores our intentional creation by the hand of God.

 

Believing vs. Knowing: My life experiences merged the implicit and explicit, leading to astonishing awakenings. Moments of profound pain were followed by transcendent states of consciousness that transcended the limits of self and the universe, bringing me into direct communion with the Creator, our Father in Heaven, God, and His divine message. In these moments, I realized that infinity is unity—a profound realization that reinforces our status as intentional creations by our loving Creator.

In sharing my journey, I lay bare an odyssey of unknown origins and humble beginnings, marked by challenging and bewildering circumstances, all underscored by a continuous theme of divine protection, providence, grace, and love—a love that affirms that we are not accidental, but intentionally crafted beings. These elements have formed the bedrock of my persistence, patience, and abilities, which I offer to you. The purpose of me sharing my experiences, insights, and art is to provide a perspective for those entrenched in the empirical realm of science, urging them to embrace the truth found within the sacred realm of faith—the truth that we are intentionally designed and created by our Heavenly Father, God.

Whether you are firmly grounded in faith, embarking on a quest for truth, or harboring skepticism about the cosmic dance of the divine, remember that every journey, whether scientific or spiritual, holds the promise of transformation and enlightenment, grounded in the profound reality that we are not an accident or mistake, but intentional creations of God.

I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to share my journey, knowledge, and experiences, which have shaped my understanding of the world. This space is intended to guide you, inspiring you to seek the truth as I have been inspired, to transcend boundaries, and to embrace the inner truth that resonates with the very core of your being—an inner truth that reminds us of our intentional design by the Creator, our Heavenly Father, God.
