Where the Hick are We Going?

I grew up in a small community in rural north-central Indiana of about 7500. My parents were icons in the community, a Jr. High teacher and Tool & Die maker who was also a 32nd Degree Mason. I had the added advantage of being adopted young by them. They were an amazing gift for my childhood development. Though well educated and experienced, I went a little beyond their scope of understanding in my quest for truth.

I believe our understanding of science and spirituality is in the process of merging and sharing these words only edifies that in my heart and mind. The two worlds necessarily need to have cross-overs and even merge as we grow in our knowledge and ability to see patterns everywhere. Truth is like fractals that are present everywhere, just not always visible with the tools we’ve used in our paths to discovery of how things work in harmony. Perhaps we haven’t even looked at how things work in harmony as our tendency is to look for differences and get caught up in them.

If there is a Theory of Everything that bridges the worlds of science and spirituality, then perhaps we’ll see some reflections in society and our capacity for learning how to get along better. Regardless of the contact modalities bridging the worlds of experiencers into a unified field, we still need to have practical and pragmatic actions. We’ve been asked to step up our game in nearly every way imaginable from all the sources of non-human intelligence as far as I can tell; addressing our sustainability.

Considering the population of Earth and the experiencers of contact modalities, one or many, the nature of them seems to lead us toward a sense of community, a greater unity than we are currently experiencing. Perhaps this is just a natural progression of a planetary civilization. Not all inhabitants of the planet need to experience a profound relationship with non-human or even their own consciousness. The relationship between science and spirituality, once at odds, is gradually showing signs of congruence, recognizing that definitions and explanations are describing the same aspects of personal and planetary evolution in different language.

Often when we hear something for the first time and it sounds foreign. Our first notion is to reject it regardless of its truth, especially if we’ve never heard it yet. The degree to which our perceptions and world views are involved also affect our ability to allow the disparities to coalesce instead of create a cacophony of confused thoughts and cognitive dissonance.

We often don’t consider that the communication of another is congruent with our understanding, only the words are different and we tend to feel a loss of flow, rather than pause and reflect, allowing the similarity to emerge naturally. Sometimes there are those who make those connections and bridge the separative notions in populations, whether it is within a specific community, ethnic groups or nations. We grow together as a result.

I often wonder if we’re approaching it like the reverse-engineer craft we see in our skies most often now. Instead of perceiving there are connections to everything and seeking them, which tends to ‘push’ energy outward. Might we look from the other end of the kaleidoscope and just observe rather than look?

If, as much has been written toward, everything is ONE then how might that fact reflect in the observation of our lives and world? Asking those kinds of questions will also produce answers, but they may not be from the same thinking that created the question. The advancement in consciousness, as we are finding, often takes us into realms previously unexplored, let alone experienced. It is the experience that provides the learning and understanding because life is just that way.
