Hello fellow Wanderers,
Almost a decade after my spiritual awakening, the genesis of my quest, I have only recently realized that all of the researching, pondering, and questioning of everything has done me little good without one of the key ingredients of that which makes us all human – each other. I've decided to begin organizing and sharing what I've learned in hopes that it will help me find answers as well as provide them to anyone else seeking.
My search for understanding of the puzzle box of our existence has carried me from the ancient texts of the Gnostics to the bleeding edge of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Mechanics. This podcast will attempt to draw the throughlines I've found (or often been led to) that intersect all of the most important questions facing humanity at this point in time. Why are we here? Why are things so horribly and obviously wrong? What common ground can we find among all of humanity? And where do we go from here?
The first episode starts at an intersection that many believe doesn't exist – The point where Science and Spirituality find common ground seemed to me the perfect place to begin a show that seeks to dissolve disillusionment and out-dated views on religion and close-minded materialism.
I discovered The Urantia Book in the small home library of a family member that later admitted having no clue what the book was or where it came from. After a wild night of orb sightings and deep meditative thought on the true nature of the universe, a presence of consciousness within my own guided me inside and down the hall to small cluttered room that I had only stepped foot in briefly a few times before. There, I was "told" to search… and among the shelves cluttered with old newspapers, VHS tapes, romance novels, and books on the ethics of capitalism, my fingers brushed the spine of a large white hard cover book, and without knowing what I had found, I knew I had found what I was looking for.
The Urantia Book is a 2000 page spiritual text that reads more like a bureaucratic handbook than a religious volume at times, but I had no idea when I started reading this encyclopedia-sized book, that what I'd find between those pages would connect so many of the dots I had been making in my years of independent research and study.
Now, with that being said, I do not bring this book up as a preacher of its word, nor do I intend to convince you that the claims it makes are the absolute truth. What I will attest to is that, as someone who has always had a hard time with the faith part of spirituality because of the ever-present Inquisitive Spirit I seem to possess, this book allowed me to step outside of the ego and certainty of modern materialism and see that all of the puzzle pieces fit together, even if I had yet to decipher the image that they create when whole.
Spirituality, physics, quantum mechanics, and technology all coalesce and converge in profound ways with spirituality, religion, metaphysics, the paranormal, and the occult, which then combine to weave a tapestry through time and space, defining the ideals and understanding that shape our past, present, and future.
So, if you too have found yourself with a 1000 piece puzzle in front of you and no idea what the picture is supposed to look like, follow with me as I dive in and attempt to begin connect the corner and edge pieces, so perhaps together we can begin to fill in the rest and uncover and attempt to understand what the "Big Picture" truly is. Starting with The Urantia Book, then continuing on wherever the precocious spirit of understanding leads – from deep inside our own consciousnesses and out into the deepest corners of our universe, leaving no stone unturned and no question unasked..
