COSMIC VS. SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT

THE NEW ENLIGHTENMENT IS ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE COSMOS & OUR PLACE IN IT
Few Spiritual seekers can clearly put into words, what Spiritual Enlightenment is. If you really think about it. not only does that make no sense, striving for a goal that you cannot clearly put into words, is just not going happen. The first rule of achieving a goal, or manifesting a desire, is to be able to clearly state that goal/desire. Otherwise you’re simply sending mixed messages to your subconscious mind. So how did we find ourselves in this dilemma of wanting a certain something that we cannot explain?.
Initially in my own search, I intuitively accepted those enigmatic statements that explained that enlightenment was the normal state of human beings and that no searching was needed. However with time and experience, it was hard to ignore that I had learned things that I had either no idea, or else an incorrect conclusion about before. That made it obvious that learning was ongoing even if enlightenment was the normal state. So a couple of years ago, I began to see enlightenment as a series of lightbulb moments in which yet another important detail about reality had revealed itself to me.
It wasn’t until I had done my research into The Ancient Egyptian Civilization, while looking for clues to Kundalini’s real identity that I had the biggest “this is what enlightenment is,” lightbulb moment of all. There can be no true enlightenment without the understanding of the Cosmos, light itself and the natural elements and forces that move, shape and create matter, life, and the planets and stars, as well as our place in it. Otherwise we will keep imaging that scientifically explainable so-called mysteries, belong to the realm of miracles and more importantly only accessible by Gurus and Sages who have spent lifetimes searching for the secrets to mastery.
HORSEHEAD & FLAME NEBULA
As a result of my research, I began to understand the Catholic church’s persecution of science and scientist such a Gallileo, in a new light. Much of the knowledge that the church had come into possession as a result of the Roman Conquest of Ancient Egypt, was for some time available to others as well, before The Roman Catholic Church was able to come to the realization that humanity’s enlightenment could come about as a result of understanding the science of the Cosmos. For nearly all of my adult life like many, I had simply seen the church’s resistance to and persecution of scientists and the study of the budding discipline of science, as simply an aberrant behavior without meaning.
Enlightenment is not about years of meditation or even righteously following a spiritual path, the ability to treat others with love, kindness and respect, while admirable, desirable and necessary, is not what results in enlightenment. Instead it is about understanding the cosmos. To believe otherwise is to do ourselves a double disservice. First accepting by the kind of thinking, that is focused on an indefinable enlightenment as a result of meditation, while ignoring science, causes most people to count themselves out from ever achieving that enlightenment. How many people falsely believe that both enlightenment and Kundalini will not happen in this present lifetime, because a Guru said so?. This robs them of the understanding and the excitement of finding the very answers that they’ve been seeking in the first place.

There are very specific reasons why the church built observatories to study the sky, and I will be exploring these against the background of the Ancient Egypt, as well as such things a the creation stories and their true meanings. The Vatican advanced technology telescope (VATT) is located on Mt. Graham in Arizona. The Vatican Observatory Research Group (VORG), is owned and run by the Vatican Observatory, which is on of the oldest research institutions carrying out astronomical research. It’s been said that the telescope had an unofficial acronym; Lucifer, for which the full title was: Large……. (binocular telescope Near-infrared Spectroscopic) Utility with Camera and Integral Field Unit for Extragalactic Research (LUCIFER). that mouthful while descriptive of it’s function, is quite the mouthful, what is even more remarkable, is the lengths necessary to go to, in order top com up with that acronym. Lucifer is of course the light bearer.
The stories that I’ve chosen to use to support my hypotheses that it is Cosmic Enlightenment that should be our goal, are truly exciting and actually enlightening. Space really is the final frontier!. So watch this space because there’s so much more to come!.
