We will die; individually, at the end of our life span; as a species, at the intersection of whatever set of circumstances befall us, whether they be long term decline or short term cataclysm. For me, the fact that all things expire is the single indisputable truth of all existence – a statistic, that to the best of historic and scientific knowledge, and religious article of faith, registers a full 100% compliance to the reality of this statement.  In light of this inevitable truth comes the less certain question: When will our demise occur?

After years of living and seeing what people do in the name of God or the Spiritual Life, I’ve come to a simple conclusion: We are already Spirit!   Whether that is defined merely as the atoms that comprise our bodies, or a more metaphysical belief that we are “children of God.”  Our journey here on Earth as living beings is the only certainty that we can know.  The why of existence, whether projected from religious doctrine or scientific speculation, is still no more than glorified or generalized opinion.

To my Men friends and clients:

I have been one of those men who you could say: walked the “road less traveled.” It has seldom been glamorous, yet often perilous both socially and financially. While it has been a most rewarding journey, it has sometimes been lonely and often frightening.

As to animals. A couple of items tickled me to comment, since I love pets and feel so connected to animals. (If I were to have continued down one life path, I would have been a biologist or zoologist…love that stuff!) In regards to relationships with animals, pets particularly, this is how I’ve come to understand it.

On Beliefs and Narratives

My determination and use of any or all belief system(s) is best expressed by author Joan Didion: “we tell ourselves stories so that we can live.” My own conclusion about the human mind is that in absence of other stories or narratives: archetypes, myths, histories, belief systems, or theories; our minds would otherwise take whatever available material and manufacture one for itself.  If for no other reason, to give the Intellectual Center something to do. The mind has a rapacious hunger for input. I suspect, we would be driven mad without stories and beliefs.

Analogy of Global Warming

Stephen on his soap box.Deniers of the idea of  Global Climate change citing the greater number of cold weather events ought to be given this analogy.

A refrigerator requires electricity (heat) to run the motor. That motor produce exhaust. To prove this to yourself stand behind your refrigerator. The cold generated by the heat is a compensation effect. Our Earth is encountering this phenomenon.

So the next time you encounter an “unbeliever” just tell them to go stand behind a refrigerator. And when they complain about the heat, just remind them that the hotter it gets, it will get colder soon enough!

Channeled by Stephen Cocconi

Introductory Note: Owing to a great many students requesting elaboration on this topic for the last couple of years, I was motivated to really quiz Michael about such things as Angels, Faeries, the Realm of pure rationale. What I received will be posted over the course of the next month.

By the way, the Fourth Realm is what they call Terrestrials (Earthers).

Stay Tuned!
