e are now living outside of time. Nothing in the past has been like today. The future, rather than simply being unknown, does not exist. It never has. We no longer need look to historical events, technological advances, or socio-economic scenarios in order to measure human progress. These points-of-view are hard to step out of; nevertheless, many have.
In saying that there is no future, I am referring to a quantum leap in the opportunity for human beings to reach outside the limitations imposed by the mental, emotional, and sensory fields that define their sense of self and time. In 1543 Nicholas Copernicus published On the Revolutions of Celestial Spheres. This book had the effect of pushing aside the medieval and church-protected belief that the earth was at the center of the universe. Copernicus placed the sun at the center of the universe and mathematically demonstrated how much more simply celestial movements could be understood. This simple shift in thinking generated a whole new age in human understanding and perception. The scientific age began here. But this is not what I am talking about.
The example of Copernicus reflects a dramatic change in the minds of human beings; however, when looked at within the context of time, it is just a rearrangement of furniture in a room so that more light can come in. The change that is happening today is not a rearrangement of furniture; people are now walking outside the house, where the reality is so astonishing that one can become easily paralyzed as the mind struggles to maintain a modicum of orientation. As long as a human being wants to retain a human existence while learning to walk through the new landscape, it needs some kind of mental handhold with which to continue living individual life. Once the religious and scientific paradigms of reality fall away, new language and metaphors can be offered as security for the mind. This website engenders such a paradigm shift—a real one where the is no future and time is running out.
The paradigm shift that is birthing itself now is experiential. It finds that the human observer is the center of his or her own universe and that instead of earth being a rock revolving around a bright ball of gas, it is part of an act of perception whose source exists in higher planes of existence. Nothing in science can define these higher planes because science is limited by the Copernican paradigm that dominates the collective consciousness of the race; namely, that the “real” world is material only, despite the belief of most people that there is a heavenly beyond. Science is a product of the mind, as is religious thought. To distinguish religious thought from genuine religious experience is a challenge difficult to meet. Indian saint Krishnamurti once said, “Every thought is a serpent.” Keep that admonition in mind as this exposition of Galactic life unfolds.
What is the difference between a mental paradigm shift and an experiential paradigm shift?
Why will scientific and religious points of view and their language be inadequate for living life “outside the house”?
