Glimpses of God Book--Part 3: New Age of Revelation

Ch.3. Lowering of the Veil: Spiritual Sources for a New Age of Revelation

The lowering of the veil is about a reduced separation between the physical and spiritual realms. My premise is that we have entered an age where we have available a much larger quantity and quality of spiritual information. This is an assertion that cannot be proved in that there are no metrics on this subject. My assertion (hypothesis) for the increased availability of quality spiritual information is based on the following seven arguments:

1. A new scientific paradigm is emerging that recognizes the interconnection of all matter and life through a universal field (A-Field): Chapter 1 presents the supporting information. At the frontiers of science, the old order is starting to break down as anomalous discoveries accumulate that cannot be fitted within our existing scientific theories and paradigms. [See earlier post.] New theories and worldviews are coming forward to explain the anomalous behavior. At the heart of the new worldview is the concept of a universal field of energy and information that connects all life and matter. This is a fundamentally new scientific paradigm.

2. Systematic/scientific studies of spiritual phenomena are providing very strong evidence that our consciousness continues after death; key examples of this are the investigations of “Children Who Remember” accounts where a young child (usually two to seven) remembers its previous life (usually cut short as a youth or young adult) in great detail, often citing information about their previous parents and life that can be confirmed by researchers. Another important new source is the detailed spiritual information provided in near death experiences (NDE) of “temporarily dead” individuals having experiences of journeying to the spiritual realm. There is a rapidly growing body of NDE information and evidence. Both are covered in Chapter 2, the second part of setting a scientific foundation.

3. Today a large number of quality, channeled spiritual sources are available that provide fairly consistence information. In the past, we were limited to mediums providing limited information from their spiritual realm sources and also often of questionable quality. In the early 20th century, Edgar Cayce was one of the few channels providing quality spiritual information from sources in the spiritual realm. This information is given in Chapter 4. It includes my experiences from eight interviews with a quality spiritual source, The Lightspeakers, and my own journaling: Conversatins with my Higher Self.

4. We have new types of quality spiritual information that was not available in the past. Prime examples are the spiritual and Life between Lives (LBL) hypnosis regression being conducted by leading-edge psychologists, psychiatrists and hypnotists. In LBL the human’s soul is “taken” to the spiritual realm, and it describes its experiences and observations of the spiritual realm and the nature of itself as a soul. This is an extension of the spiritual hypnosis regression work that came forth in the later part of the 20th century. Included is a summary of Michael Newton's extensive LBL discoveries, and those of Delores Cannon, and an example of an LBL session that I conducted with a client. This information is given in Chapter 5

5. Desire of souls in the spiritual realm for us to have more information. The basis for this assertion are (1) spirit guides allowing LBL and general spiritual hypnosis regression explorations of some depth (discussed later in this chapter and in Chapter 5) and (2) availability of a large number of quality spiritual teaching sources channeled by humans. Many of the new spiritual channeling sources specifically state that they are a soul group who goals are to provide us with more information and promote our spiritual development.

6. Increased ability of humans to receive and develop spiritual information because of our greater conceptual spiritual knowledge and tools for gathering it. For example, a culture’s spiritual conceptual knowledge base is the framework through which all spiritual information (such as from channeling) is “translated” to us. If these are very limited, then the “quality” of the information is seriously compromised. In the past spiritual channeling information was usually presented in the language and conceptual structure of the human channel’s religious practice. Some of that is still present today, and examples of it are presented in this chapter.

7. In7. Internet making all reported sources of spiritual information available to anyone in the world via modern internet search engines (e.g., Google). Now anyone can conduct an extensive search for spiritual sources.

Together the above constitute a push and pull condition and my basis for calling ours a new age of revelation. My goal has been to find these sources and place them into a perspective relative to the type of information, historical context, and quality of information. Chapter 1, an overview of the convergence of science and spirituality, has set the stage. Now, we will explore in an overview manner the five elements creating the opening. The power of the internet to support research and information dissemination is a given.
