I just watched this video from AsapSCIENCE about what it feels like when you are dying, and one of the things they noted that happens is "seeing light." Of course, this is also something common in mystical experiences. They explained a possible cause of this phenomenon in NDEs.
Many think God is a personal God, even a person. I suggest there is truth in that, but perhaps not as we usually think.
Are the benefits of ketamine therapy related to the mystical experience they produce? An anesthesiologist offers some thoughts.
Is matter the incarnation of spirit? Is this what makes spirit visible, and even makes ourselves?
a poem
A new translation of Genesis 1, updating many ideas in terms of modern cosmology, but also in mystical terms of God's own Incarnation in and as the cosmos, and in all Life as well.
Physics tells us that all things are made up of massless light-speed particles that have become bound together giving rise to mass and spacetime. Is this the Incarnation?
Many people want to know the ultimate nature of the universe, the ultimate reality. Many seek it through science. But mysticism and contemplation may offer the Way that actually realizes that One, which is Love.
As science seeks a unified theory of everything, of reality as a whole, we may need to focus more on contemplating the nature of consciousness and our own self to find the answer.
Where does spacetime come from? Might our mind generate it as a kind of illusion in consciousness? How might we transcend this illusion in contemplation?
