METAREALITY
As for higher dimensions beyond what our senses
report, what about ghosts?
I’m surprised that ghosts don’t have their own reality show by now – so popular have they become.
Of course, those of you who haven’t seen an angel
or a ghost are at a distinct disadvantage. God, His
angels, and even ghosts, are generally hidden from
view, the doors to higher dimensions difficult to
find and even more difficult to open, but it is possible, and hallelujah, getting easier every day. Why?
Because we are entering a new age. As the aging
rock musical Hair intoned, This is the dawning of
the Age of Aquarius…
All fine and well, but what does it mean for the
average guy or gal who struggles to pay bills
and stay on top of earthly concerns? And what
about the nightly news reports that suggest
that we humans are not making much progress. In fact, it seems like we are sliding into a
hell of our own devising:
• Mayhem in the Middle East; beheadings
on the internet.
• Shootings all over America; is the mall
really safe?
• The rich get rich and…
Ah, the dawning of a new age requires that the old
one pass away, and, at this point, good riddance:
This age ain’t working.

So, where does that leave us seekers of Truth? How
do we prepare to surf the Great Tsunami when it
erupts from the oceans of disgruntled Mother
Earth?
Primarily, it is an attitude, a reflection of the greatest spiritual teaching of all: We are all one. We are
the same soul, each of us experiencing life through
a different set of circumstances. We are cut out of
the very fabric of God (who exists) and have been
sewn together in a patchwork quilt of color and
shape, but we are One nonetheless.
Beyond this, little else matters. Everything follows
naturally when one is prepared to accept this basic
truth.

Yes, there are higher
dimensions where God’s
angels find heavenly
employment.
Sure, you can speed up the process by engaging
in good-person practices. The seven virtues are
counters to lower-self behaviors: charity, love,
compassion, forgiveness, surrender, love, selflessness, patience, love. Did I mention love?
But sometimes spiritual awakenings come to us
unbidden in spite of a life that may seem unworthy. The biblical story of Saul on the road to Tarsus
is a good example. He, the great tormenter of early Christians, was suddenly blinded by an intense
white light that opened his inner sight. He would
become St. Paul, the great champion of Jesus and
one of the founders of the Christian faith.
Here’s another. Stockbroker Bill Wilson, a sad and
hopeless alcoholic, fell to his knees and begged
God for a cure. The white light that followed carried Bill’s consciousness into what he called the
fourth dimension, and his craving for alcohol was
eliminated. Moreover, he was able to transmit this
mystical energy to others in the new fellowship of
Alcoholics Anonymous.

Yes, there are higher dimensions where God’s angels find heavenly employment. Yes, a new age is
on its way in spite of convincing evidence to the
contrary – and yes, we are all One.
Let’s prepare ourselves to ride the crest of the coming wave and enter the new age with banners flying high, ea ch banner emblazoned with one word:
Love.
