So then in order to invite other people into a discussion that will be beneficial to both parties, we tell them about what we read at The Theosophical Society and at The Saint Germain Foundation.
I would imagine that you have not read any of this material. In that sense, it is not only the word girasas that is foreign to you, but also this entire realm where I have centered my investigations.
Let me try setting the scene again. There is a book called THE YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI that is said to be over 2000 years old from India. This book describes in Book 1: The Problem of Union, Book 2: The Steps to Union, Book 3: Union Achieved and its Results, Book 4: Illumination
People who read this book read that they can gain powers by meditation. It is a common Hindu practice and belief.
So how can someone raised in the United States attempt to understand how meditation can release powers in us? Well, we try meditation and after a good trial, we can judge for ourselves whether there is any validity to the claim.
For many years, I have studied theosophy and "I AM" Temple literature. What I read in the first book that began me on this journey: THE YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI is still the most basic and thorough numbered listing (aphorisms) of the yoga scene that I ever encountered. What did modern people design to compete with the Hindu Yoga scene?
The granddaughter of a princess from Russia travels the world, engages in mediumship, writes as a journalist to make a living, and before her death writes THE SECRET DOCTRINE, after founding The Theosophical Society at the request of her "Masters." (1875-1890 approx.)
A musician married to a geologist live together in the United States. He writes of an experience he had with "Masters" in California and the two of them begin communications which result in the founding of The Saint Germain Foundation. (1930s-1950s approx.)
While I am associating with these two groups, I can't exactly participate in Christianity, but I remember from my childhood what worship, doctrine, and practice is.
There is a creation versus evolution debate in which scientists wish to engage the beliefs of Christians concerning whether or not The Bible is a reliable source of information since scientific findings appear to refute what we read there at times.
Christians stand firm. I did not stand firm. I investigated on my own after stimulation from THE YOGA SUTRAS that I could gain powers by meditation.
During my studies, I encountered many mysteries and a good deal of divisiveness. People divide because our minds and hearts prefer a type of isolation for growth and satisfaction. We specialize in our chosen fields and are often grateful that distractions don't upset the balance of things where we choose to be.
By my joining this debate, do I threaten to end a peaceful coexistence that has been achieved between religion and science?
Which side of the debate am I on? Is anyone on my side? I have a new theory and I don't know who would find my theory useful, inviting, worth research dollars, etc. But regardless of how many can be employed by my work, there should still be a comraderie among all of this division that allows us to put ourselves back into school with each other where learning was fun, where we didn't have to pay bills, and where we could ask questions without too much fear.
Is the world of the religious person real to the world of the scientist? We use different texts. We (investigators of religion) want to create our world by building people up into talented contributing members of society. We are creationists because The Bible helps us to reach our goals.
Scientists want to seek out details about creation. To answer questions that they and others have and to find solutions to very real problems that make us unable to function healthily. By scientists providing health to the environment and to inhabitants of the environment, they are performing a great service. Scientists deserve their followers, their funds, their storehouses of great knowledge, and their esteem. No argument.
Do I threaten you because I talk about things that are beyond your level of expertise? By asking scientists to participate in the findings and ponderings of religion, do we throw your minds out of balance so that you might not be able to work?
How would you create a healthy environment if someone informed you of this power that is invading the earth? Well, you would probably fund a committee to look into the situation until you could assess whether or not there was any real danger or any possibility of averting a disastrous outcome.
Is human extinction a disastrous outcome? What if I provided you with a scenario whereby all kingdoms go extinct, but there is nothing to fear because they return to life on the next globe (after globe after globe) and the next round (after round after round). This information would likely not change too greatly what you view to be your job. You need to work at improving the quality of our life by keeping track of occurrences at the molecular and chemical levels.
People in religion can help you in ways you may not have expected or predicted. Regardless of how we got here or whether extinction is desireable or not, it might be possible for a scientist to get re-introduced to religion if they considered that people are so drawn to it because we attempt to contact a higher kingdom, gain power, and create a better world for ourselves. We don't like doing this without you because we think you do a great job of analyzing the data and providing us with answers (and questions). Yet you don't attest to our willingness to part with human superiority.
Humans are fallible, but with science perhaps you will make us less so, you think. To us, creating and changing the world we live in means reaching upward to higher beings that are real because we are so much stronger with them than we are alone.
Here I am barely with a Bachelor's Degree in psychology, coming to you to offer my research findings, because you have been averse to belief, but if there is a higher kingdom that needs human beings as much as we need them due to this cycle thing, then communication with those higher beings necessitates belief because they have an entire globe chain of living done beyond what we have done and we are as incompetent to them as the animals are at changing and creating the world to us.
Why do we believe? Could it help a scientist to open their minds to the possibility that a higher being could also contribute to their work if the mindset wasn't so exclusive? We love and worship together and we think that 10 x what we give flows back to us from higher beings. They could influence your thinking and acting and help you to be less inclined to errors or mistakes.
We want our children to know about a storehouse of strength and knowledge that can be theirs for the asking (with some effort on their parts to provide for the life of these beings as needed). We ask you to teach the children about the world we live in and we see these higher beings as instrumental in our success and well being, but somehow science still doesn't reach to them. We want our children to know that after careful thought and study, the right way seems to be to involve this higher kingdom in any way we can or design to. It will be up to them to lead teams into contact with them, in religion or outside religion, it is all the same. It's people that the higher beings want contact with and not architecture or ritual.
