We can believe in something but actually have no direct experience with what we think we believe in.

A perfect example of this is the belief in an afterlife. We may believe we die and that’s it but until we experience the cosmic levels and multi-dimensions involved with All That Is, and if we’ve been raised to believe in science versus cosmic experience and never the twain shall meet, then we need direct experience in order to transcend a belief that doesn’t serve anybody, including ourselves.

I know for myself that I was raised to believe in life after death. Subsequent experiences have shown me that there is so much more than what we can possibly know. My generation has had direct experience with expanding consciousness especially with LSD. People who were ordinarily confined to a one dimensional world view, suddenly saw life as multidimensional with beautiful colors and joyful adjacent realities.
Now there are numerous books on the experience of near death experiences. But just because others have had these experiences and we haven’t, relegates our perspective into a mere believe and not a direct experience. Yet often as we read something we directly experience it.

Julia Asante’s book the Last Frontier is such a book. I am enjoying reading it again.
Marc Allen and I agreed in our conversation last night on Kate Loving and the Collective Wisdom that the main cause of fear is rooted in the fear of death. Julia Assante says the same thing.

People define miracles in ways that are self-limiting. For instance, if you have a dire diagnoses, you may think that the miracle would be to be healed of the melody. Yet when that or if that does not happen, you think you are not one of the chosen people.

As Pastor Verkow said this morning, miracles are a double edged sword. I told him about a young man with stage four pancreatic cancer, and he is terrified that when he dies, he will not be saved in the traditional Christian sense. 

That is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard, sadder than the fact that he is dying at such an young age. The miracle would be for him to feel God’s love before he dies. Let us pray.
