For example, we can start out by saying that "we are all one" by saying that we are connected. We are like individual leaves on a tree.
This is a valid way of looking at things, but this presumes the validity of space, as if you can be over here and I can be over there. It's a great start.
Then you can look at things from a holographic perspective, saying that everything exists in the same location, but when you change the angle you view the hologram at, you see a different version of the hologram. Thus everything is literally here and now. The duality of here and there or you and me is nothing more than a shift in consciousness, a change in perspective.
We can talk about God as being the Father or the Mother, but the Divine is beyond human gender. Perhaps referencing Source would be a more accurate word when talking about "that which gives rise to" or the Unmanifest.
Who knows where we'll be in 1000 years. Hopefully in direct Unity with the Truth of who we are. In fact, how 'bout now!?  |
I like the idea that education is bringing us closer to the truth. That is a nice optimistic idea.
David Bohms' Holographic Universe is definitely an interesting idea but needs more to back it up.
The problem I have with "why not now" is because every civilization has it's mythologies which are always generally in line with current science fact. Christianity fit in with 2-4000 year old science and modern metaphysics (although not as complete a system) fits in with our science (the holographic model is popular with quantum physics). It's likely that 1000 years from now there will be a whole new science and a whole new mythology. So I find it unlikely that we just happen to be in the exact spot in time where everything is all figured out.
It's probabilistically unlikely. I just hope some of the core ideas our Hindu ancestors came up with and are now a part of our metaphysics are referencing a valid truth!
