Angels, Aliens, Spiritual Guardians, Metaphysics and the Creation of Our Future
If we want to find Spiritual Guardians, Angels and Aliens, we need to take a closer to look in the mirror and at others around us. How well do we know ourselves and each other? How sure are we about where we really came from, or are going?
We all came from the stars and are all in one and one in all. We are the aliens to beings from other galaxies. Are we not then in many ways through evolution and creation, becoming more and more as the creator itself? Until we know and become more knowledgeable, comfortable and secure within ourselves, we are probably not knowledgeable enough or comfortable enough to meet any of these beings or spirits. Our fascination nd interest in these things may be a preparation for the day when we actually will. Our spiritual guides being within and among us, our Angels being the ones that can cure disease, prolonged and offer us a better life as well as help to save our environment, at our first alien, just maybe the first human baby born on a space station.
Unfortunately metaphysic is often grouped with New Age which can include channeling, psychics, astrology and things of this type. These can be seen as fun and interesting and as new frontiers to experiment with to see what we can learn. However, this is a distraction from the actual philosophy and science of metaphysics. Metaphysics is considered a branch of philosophy dealing with the origin of structure of things.
Aristotle stated in his work titled Metaphysics, that the forms are the cause of the essence of all other things and the one is the cause of the forms. Metaphysics was discussed by many philosophers such as Comte, Hagel and Kant. Henry Bergstrom, a professor of philosophy at College de France, in France wrote An Introduction to Metaphysics in 1903. Alfred north Whitehead a mathematician and philosophy professor at Cambridge and Harvard (1860 to 1947) wrote many books such as Inquiry Concerning the Principles of Natural Science, The Principles of Relativity (1892) and collaborated with Bertrand Russell on their famous Principia Mathematica (1910).
Some others that have been leaders in the field of metaphysics are Emanuel Swedenborg a Swedish engineer (1688 to 1771), and the inventor, Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, (1802 to 1866) who is considered the founder of New Thought. Emmet Fox, an electrical engineer (1886 to 1951) who wrote the essay The Golden Key, and also Emma Curtis Hopkins, (1855 to 1925) who taught Science of Mind, were other valuable leaders. Religious science founder Ernest Holmes and Unity founders, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore as well as many other authors such as H. Emilie Cady, & Eric Butterworth have also been important and well-known contributors to the field of metaphysics.
Science of Mind, Religious Science, Divine Science and Unity Churches add a more religious aspect to metaphysics attempting to lean more toward the Bible or Christianity. Science of Minds 50th anniversary edition in 1997 edited by Jean Houston offers a good synopsis of Religious Science beliefs that were also later incorporated into Unity Churches. Both institutions encourage knowledge of other religions and do not require that you leave your original religion, but invite you to learn to use whatever philosophy you can from them, to add to it.
Any one religion that thinks that it is the only true one or believes itself to be God, rather than one of the many vehicles to God, is really lost in itself, and very often in turn, eventually loses others. Each religion does need its differences as a part of its separate identity, yet it also needs to acknowledge other religions as an existing and valuable part of the whole of an evolving and creative humankind.
Buckminster Fuller wrote in his book Critical Path, regarding a computer revolution that metaphysics can be unifying force between science, philosophy of religion. Carl Sagans last book Billions and Billions encouraged what he called bridging ministries that could attempt to unite science and religion. He believed, as Einstein, in an order, reason or intelligence underlying the universe. Sagan however did not want to call this order God and preferred to define himself as an atheist. As an atheist he did not believe in the present human concept of God, but did acknowledge a reasoning force behind all things. The dilemma lies in our individual concept and belief of what the word God is, means or does not mean to us individually. In a sense, to attempt to define the God force is to deny it. This may also be true for ourselves.
Man may not be in the minds of the Gods as much as the Gods are within the mind of man. - Brahma
We can all learn from the gloom and doom mentality of such things as Armageddon that we really do not want, nor have to let these beliefs and things come to pass, and can with our God-given minds and free wills, believe in and envision, as well as create and produced a more productive direction for our future. One where there is less disease that illness physically and metaphysically and where we can develop ourselves as much as we possibly can, as well as our environment, to its fullest potential, to become whatever things our mind and imagination can combine to make us. One where science, technology and philosophy will learn to work more together to create a better world for us all. A future where we can take better care of our present environment as well as explore and open up the possibilities of creating new and livable environments on other planets. We do have a greater ability than ever before to destroy our environment and ourselves, along with a greater ability to evolve and create, which could create the most advanced and humane civilizations we have never know. What could seem to be the end could only be the beginning of something new. It is up to each and every one of us.
