What you are about to read, a great deal of it you will no doubt disagree with, misunderstand or throw out as utterly beyond belief. Nevertheless, I share my experiences and the resulting perceptions as they were given to me, without prejudice, without prior knowledge, without the usual critical judgment upon such experiences. The fantastic of yesterday becomes the norm of today. The Architect of the universe does not limit the vastness of His creation to one single sphere among the boundlessness of the cosmos and name it the only likelihood where life as Earthlings know it may appear. Such belief would go counter to His purpose in the development and expansion of all things. Even scientists have formed the notion that the universe itself is in an expansion process. Can this expansion be called growth and development? Scientific evaluations appear to concur with this conclusion. Ultimately, advancement along the spiritual path is an individual experience. Nevertheless, society has a responsibility to its citizens to pave the way for that advancement by establishing and maintaining for all its citizens the quality of life that accelerates that process. When it ignores that responsibility it fails in its duty. The intellectual as well as moral fiber becomes torn asunder and rendered helpless. Each individual gains by the advancement of anyone, whether friend, neighbor, or stranger on the other side of the globe. "No man is an island, entire of itself," applies to everyone without exception. Our global community is the embodiment of the Architect's design. How effectively we work within that design determines the progress of us all.
