As You Evolve, God Evolves

People of spiritual intent have been finding new ways to think about God; they have looked to quantum physics to explain reality in such a way that miracles and the existence of the soul are even more credible that they were in traditional religion.
We still ask the same age-old questions about who we are and where we came from. The same age-old answers, that we are spiritual beings who came from God, return to us, only now the path has been walked with open eyes and an expanded mind, not rigid adherence to dogma.
And what about war? God can show us how to evolve out of our present anguish by retracing the steps that drew us into it. God shows the way through consciousness, because God is consciousness. If your mind feels conflicted, or guilty, or schizoid, there is not other way to view God than through those lenses.
If your mind is organized, coherent, and clear, there is no other way to view God than through those lenses. You cannot escape one basic fact: at any given stage of personal evolution, you are seeing reality as yourself. The biblical story of how God created man in his own image isn’t complete until we realize that man returned the favor by creating God in his image, too.
There are as many versions of God as there are people in the world. However, these can be simplified into seven stages that match the seven stages of consciousness. They are all like glasses that give us a certain viewpoint on the world. As evolution proceeds, God changes. The level of consciousness that makes God a supporter of war and a source of fear shifts, to be replaced by a peaceful and loving God.
That God is only sustainable, however, if your awareness has shifted to support it. This is one of the laws that govern spirituality. As you evolve, so will the divine. The way of peace depends on bringing that truth to life, step by step.

He is open to your wish whispering through the worlds and receiving it both of you are blessed. No doubt Deepak is moonwalking with him, both having a very nice time; not only is it possible to do all these things and feel all these things at once, but we already do. In our conscious minds we prioritize and give things time and structure, but at the source it is always happening at once, and very well too.

i try to follow dr. chopra as much as possible, i have a wish, a wish that whispers thru the air making a noise as if the wish tries to break thru the wind. it blows the air as it takes the pedals from the flowers of the dogwoods,and the leaves left upon the trees. I wish, Michael Jackson could hve grabbed Dr. Chpra's hand and forced himself thru the whistle of the wind and allow the leaves and pedals disappear as they moon walk thru beautiful sites and disappear into the quiteness of the oh so beutiful sound of silence, sound of happiness, no pain, and real smiles upon Micheals face, and turn around and walk back thru that wind, which does not seem as thick as it did to get thru it the first time. And then Micheal could could still moon walk as others have done other things, instead of ending such a talented loveing father's life, and enjoy his talents, as we would enjoy those too. and then Dr. Chopra, come gack thru that wind and grap my hand, and take my hand and lead me to the happines, and take my severe pain away, along with the panick, an the fearfulness that appeared out of the clear blue sky above the wind whistling, and be by my side as I climb that ladder and throw the pain, the fear and the lonliness away.

Dixon here is some but google it yourself especially Michio Kaku's work, it's wonderful.Quantum" comes from the Latin meaning "how much." It refers to the discrete units of matter and energy that are predicted by and observed in quantum physics. Even space and time, which appear to be extremely continuous, have smallest possible value As scientists gained the technology to measure with greater precision, strange phenomena was observed. The birth of quantum physics is attributed to Max Planck's 1900 paper on blackbody radiation. Development of the field was done by Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schroedinger, and many others. Ironically, Albert Einstein had serious theoretical issues with quantum mechanics and tried for many years to disprove or modify it.In the realm of quantum physics, observing something actually influences the physical processes taking place. Light waves act like particles and particles act like waves (called wave particle duality). Matter can go from one spot to another without moving through the intervening space (called quantum tunnelling). Information moves instantly across vast distances. In fact, in quantum mechanics we discover that the entire universe is actually a series of probabilities. I don't have the math background but even I can understand and wonder at it.

Dixon, it's not that I don't read or know the Bible, it's that I don't accept your version of it. And nowhere in the Bible does it state that there is only one way to salvation; there are specific instances of people of other faiths being saved such as the men of Nineveh and the Samaritans and the woman who hosted Elijah. And you have yet to prove to me that there were people in the New World who knew of Jesus in 1000 AD. You made the assertion; you provide the proof. I already answered your question about men and the Holy Spirit; it's not my problem if you don't like the answers.

Brenda, If I could give you a green star I would, but I have a wait a couple of days. :)
It is my feeling that we as a people should be looking beyond religions and what has been written. Look at all the people that have suffered over the years because of religions and what has been written. It is time to evolve and start moving forward; looking back will only continue to cause continued suffering and needless death. Open your hearts and free your minds and the Truth will be presented to you.

Terri, I am reading the Bible. I just don't accept your version of it. Dwight, I agree that there are people who think they know better than God. The problem is that God is sovereign; therefore, God decides who is saved and who is not. The men of Nineveh, as I recall, did not need to become Jews in order to be saved once they listened to Jonah's preaching. Neither did the woman who helped Elijah. Jesus did not require the man brought in from the roof to make any confession of faith; he forgave his sins right then and there. And all he required of the woman caught in adultery was for her to sin no more. We are not God that we can determine who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. That's not for you to decide. That is for God to decide.

I HAVE read the Bible and was like you for 40+ years. I USED to be a Bible Thumper like you. You mean well as did I. I used to think I had THE truth. I used to think it was my job to save the world. I used to think that people not like me were not acceptable to God until they accepted Jesus as savior the way YOU mean it. Then I EXPERIENCED God within me and I KNEW that God excludes NO ONE. THAT, my friends, is the truth. I learned that you do not have to belong to the "right" church. It was Jesus MESSAGE that saves. The message is that you are not only loved but you are LOVE Itself and that knowing alone is the most healing and transforming thing I know.
Until you get that, you wont stop your crusades. You wont see the mystical body of Christ. You will continue to focus on the death and not the resurrection. You will continue to think with your head, your intellect. You will not be able to see God everywhere. You will not get that we are all connected. You will continue to see separation; you will see "sin"; you will see wrongs; you will see the need to make converts and the need to set people right. You will stay in your HEAD.
Get in your HEART and see with purity and you will see God even in the most disgusting disguises. Isnt that what you want? To see God? Open your eyes. He/She is everywhere.

Thank you Deepak for another thruth. The more I understand my own spiritual evolution the more your words make sense.

Jesse - the Bible tells us, just as Elaine wants you to read in her comment, that all men everywhere and at all times have had the opportunity to accept Jesus. The Bible is clear, there is only ONE way for salvation and that is to accept Jesus as savior. That is also the only way to the Father through the son, Jesus. Your knowledge of the Bible and what it says appears to be very slight. I also notice that you haven't answered my request to show me where it says in the Bible that all men have the Holy Spirit. I am still waiting. And --- I will keep praying for you.
