So, we
think our Life on Earth is the highest reality, and that Spirits are vague and unreal at best, even though -as science progresses-, more evidence
begins to point at the possibility of a universe which is holographic in nature.
And if our universe appears to be a projection, a simulation, then how hard would it be to create alternative projections in the form of other universes, a multiverse in other words?
And if we live in a multiverse, then how hard would it be to imagine that our own choices affect the setting of the particular reality we are part of?
Wouldn't that be like making a choice in a computer game which causes the reality of the computer game to unfold in a particular direction as the result of our choice?
And if our choices affect the setting of reality, then to what extent is the reality we perceive personal and to which degree do we share a reality setting with others?
There was a time we considered the atom to be the smallest part of matter, the smallest 'solid brick' in the wall of our physical home, only to discover that as instruments were refined, even smaller particles within the atom were discovered, even to the point where the notion of 'small solid bricks' has been replaced with 'energy particles'.
Well whaddayaknow, our 'solid reality' is built out of 'insolid and intangible energy'?
It seems as if the more we discover, the more we realize we had it all wrong.
We think
of the physical dimension as the highest reality because our Spirit and Soul are absorbed into the
physical reality when they integrate with the vessel of the human Body.
We think
in terms of fixed time-spans, so that compared to one single minute the duration of an average human Life seems like a very long time.
But
suppose I were to tell you that the sensation of time and the passing of years as we
experience them may be nothing more than the equivalent of a short 'timespan' in
the realm of Heaven?
Suppose they are not fixed in a linear one-on-one relationship?
Suppose
I were to tell you that this Earth-reality is in fact a simulation, a dream,
and that the Spirit is much more real than our Earth-reality?
Suppose
I were to tell you that we are dreaming our Life on Earth, and that Hell or Gehenna is a dream within this Earth-dream, like dreaming that you are falling asleep?
And yet, people sell their Souls for a piece of glamour within a fading dream.
You can
know all there is to know about reality and the way dimensions manifest as
realities, you can know everything there is to know about how to use powers of
the Spirit to influence and shape realities, you can transcend dimensions to
the highest reality imaginable and you can have the power to do everything your
hearts desires to, but in the end, what meaning does this have, what's the
point?
What is the point of existence?
I asked
this question in my mind not long after my grandfather died.
I guess
I must have been five, six or seven years old at most, around the time when I also
began to wonder about the concept of Sin and Evil, and how exactly they
influence our lives.
Some people applied the label of Good to things others called Evil, some people used the label of Sin where others saw no Sin whatsoever, and I wondered how exactly I was able to know Good from Evil, and what Sin exactly was.
I wondered how Sin could be passed on from generation to generation.
I
remember it also was around that time I saw an ugly world full of robots
wandering aimlessly in a misty hazy world which did not care, a hostile environment, and I realized that if I wanted to
survive in this world of robots I had to be on guard and watch out.
Or else
the robots would get me and turn me into a robot as well.
So, what was the point of living eternally?
Asking myself this question I imagined the beginning of one day, and the ending
of one day, the beginning of one week, and the ending of one week, the
beginning of one month, the ending of one month, the beginning of a year, the
ending of a year, and in my mind I began to multiply it a million times in order to approximate the idea of eternity.
Until I experienced a strange sensation of pointlessness which made me wonder: what's the point of living forever?
That
question was the outcome of a feeling of being
adrift on an endless ocean which never ends and all you see around you are waves.
On Earth
at least you knew something would end and you would be done with it, but if you
were to live eternally, then everything you know will continue to exist and you
are never done with it.
On Earth you would finally be put to rest when your Life was over, but in the afterlife you would simply live forever without being able to put a dot behind it.
Eternity
meant you would never be done with it, never would there be a moment when you
could breathe out a sigh of relief knowing that it is over and done with.
Trying
to understand the meaning of eternal Life I got this strange feeling of
pointlessness which is hard to describe, and I did not understand it.
It was
not until some 20/21 years later YHWH gave me the answer.
I had
forgotten about this question I asked in my mind, but when YHWH stepped in to
give me the answer, He brought to mind this one question which I had asked
myself.
And He
gave me the answer which clarified it all in the simplest way you could
possibly imagine.
At the
time I was living in a student apartment, and I had to share the kitchen with a
number of other students living down the hall.
It was
around Christmas time, and everybody was leaving to stay with their family for
the holiday season.
I had
decided not to go for the first time in my life.
Almost
everybody in the building had left, except for one girl in a room opposite of mine.
For some
reason she always seemed to have an aversion and a great dislike of me.
That did
not come as a surprise to me any longer, because by that time I had gotten used
to the fact that some people simply hated me for no reason whatsoever.
To some
people I simply was nothing more than a walking target they could shoot at, and
although I felt terrible about it, there was nothing I could do to change it.
It was
beyond my control, since I knew there was a deeper spiritual reason for it,
because I loved my Creator and I was painfully aware there were forces adversely
disposed towards anyone who loved YHWH.
Those forces could pull strings on people's hearts and make them behave like robots to the point where they are nothing more than broadcasts from Hell.
And so at
evening I sat in a chair, turning my heart in silence to YHWH.
Some
would call it meditation, but in fact it was my way of being silent before my
Creator and seeking His presence.
I can't
pray for an hour constantly using words to ask for one thing after another, and I don't know where the idea in Christian circles originated that prayer is only
prayer when you use words, and it becomes an occult practice when you are
silent, because then you are 'meditating', and 'meditation is of the devil'.
When the
Bible describes Yahshua going out into the wilderness to pray all night, do you
think He was talking all the time?
Remember
how He instructed us NOT to pray like gentiles who think they are heard because
of the multitude of words they use, but rather to have the attitude of prayer
as described in what is called 'the Lord's prayer'?
If then
He instructs us NOT to use a multitude of words, do you think He would use a
multitude of words Himself when He prayed for hours?
No, He
was silent before YHWH, a practice many Christians have forgotten, yet a
practice which is so very important.
It is
important because it aims to release your attention from the whirlpool of
thoughts and distractions so that you are free to be in the 'reality of the here
and now' as opposed to the 'virtual reality of your thoughts', capable of
focusing your heart and attention in silence on YHWH.
"But
that's meditation!"
You CAN
make it a hypnotic form of meditation if you do it for any other reason than to
seek your Creator, it depends on your intent.
Your
goal or intent is the direction of your bow and arrow of prayer, and the
strength you can muster to stretch the bow is the force of your faith aiming the arrow at
the target.
If you
are silent for YHWH, your 'meditation' is silent prayer, if you are silent
to empty your thoughts and relax so that you can be one with the universe, your
meditation can be a hypnotic form of self-denial.
And mind
you, this is also true for verbal prayer, even though you may pray in 'Jesus'
name'!
So, that
evening I was sitting in a chair praying in silence to YHWH, when suddenly
everything began to change.
It was as
if YHWH's Spirit entered the premises, and I experienced fear in my heart.
If you
have ever read about 'the fear of the Lord', this is what I am describing.
It comes
from the realization that you are not really perfect, and your Creator IS.
But I
brought to mind that YHWH is merciful and kind, so I decided NOT to end the
prayer and run, but instead I persisted in prayer, fully trusting that my loving
Creator and Father would be kind to me, understanding how I was only a speck of
dust caught in a twilight zone.
I wanted
His nearness more than anything in the world, so I continued to sit in silent
prayer, waiting for my Redeemer.
At that
time I heard the door of the room opposite of mine opening quickly, and the
girl who had a grudge towards me rushed out and knocked on the door
of the room next to mine, calling the name of the student who normally lived in
that room yet who had gone home like all the others.
Her
voice clearly was very fearful and I could hear she cried, but I persisted in
my prayer.
A minute
or so later I could hear her slamming the door of her room, and she literally ran
out of the apartment building as quickly as she was able to.
That's one
thing you must understand: those who choose for Evil in their lives on Earth
and never repent will not be able to tolerate YHWH's presence when they die,
and they will run as far away from YHWH as possible, straight into the Darkness
of the Pit of Destruction.
THEY are the ones who will run into the Darkness, because that is what they chose.
After
she had left I was completely alone.
There
was nobody in the entire building left except for me, and it was then that that
the initial feeling of fear now faded away and left
its place to a very profound feeling of love and joy, unlike anything which I
had ever experienced before.
Everything
seemed to light up around me, and I experienced the two most blissful weeks of
my entire Life thusfar.
When I laid
down in bed at night, there seemed to be a light shining behind my eyelids, and
I slept less than usual.
And even
though I never really eat much, during those two weeks I even ate less than I
was accustomed to.
Every
day I had the desire to literally jump out of bed because I was exploding with
joy and energy, and even though it was December I did not have to turn on the
heating because I felt this warmth around me.
Whenever
I opened the Bible to read from it, the passage I read would literally jump out at me
and fill me with understanding.
Unhappiness
and absence of joy seemed like alien concepts, and creativity was the most
natural thing in the world.
Where
before creative inspiration was not always present, during those two weeks
there was nothing but an overflowing abundance of creative inspiration, all day long, and I wondered how it
was possible that at times inspiration seemed to be on vacation causing Life to
feel like a heavy weight on my Soul.
It was
then that I understood: in the presence of our Heavenly Father the question
about the meaning of Life becomes irrelevant, because the meaning we seek we
find in Him.
The need
to find the meaning of Life is born from our cyclic dualistic fallen condition,
and from that perspective we begin to wonder about the meaning of eternal Life.
But once
YHWH takes us up and saves us out of our Dualism, then in His presence we
experience so much joy and happiness that the question seems like an absurdity.
It
becomes an absurdity because when you experience the intensity of the joy as I
have, then all you want is for that joy, love and creativity to continue
forever, and the notion of it ever ending becomes like an alien thought, a
strange fantasy designed to torture yourself with.
It was
then YHWH reminded me of that one question I asked myself as a kid.
I thought
it was just a passing thought nobody could hear but me.
Yet YHWH
heard, and He answered me in the most profound way imaginable.
He answered my question just as to this day IS answering all the questions I ask Him, filling my mind with His wisdom and His insight.
But I
also realize that when I explain that the meaning of Life is found in YHWH, it
sounds like an absurdity many are not able to relate to.
That's
because you have to experience it to truly understand it.
Once you experience the intensity of joy, happiness and boundless creative energy, ALL you want is to live in that state of bliss forever.
And that is the meaning of Life you can find in YHWH and YHWH ONLY.
Our Heavenly Father in Yahshua IS the meaning of Life.
Still, even
if you have not experienced that which I was allowed to experience, two weeks
where my Spirit seemed to be taken into Heaven while I still remained on Earth,
then believe the words I write.
Because
this answer, which seems like an absurdity in the face of philophical concepts,
is really the only answer which truly satisfies and which gives an accurate
reply to the age-old question of what the meaning of Life is.
The ONLY
reason we ask that question is because we are fallen and we reason from a fallen
dualistic cyclic perspective.
The
question reveals itself as an absurdidity in the face of experiencing YHWH's
nearness and living in His presence.
