Verdensalt.dk | Archive | Dec 17, 2014 | ~ Life After a Spiritual Awakening by Bruce Davis, Ph.D. ~ |

Bruce beskriver kløften mellem troende og tvivlere af en åndelig virkelighed, som føles større end nogensinde. Mange befinder sig med en følelse af fremmelighed og i konflikt i deres egen indre verden og forsøger at finde ud af, hvordan det ville være, at leve efter deres åndelige opvågning manifesterer sig. Vi lever i en verden fuld af grænser. Med en kommende åndelig opvågnen, er livet i sandhed uden grænser, her eksistere kærlighed, blottet for alt andet. Livet efter en åndelig opvågnen er ikke, hvor meget vi gør for verden, men hvor meget kærlighed kan gøre i os selvI et ikke-materialistisk rige, er der ingen tid, ingen stress og fortravelhed. Tidløshed er, når minutter kan være timer.

More and more people are coming forward and sharing their very personal experience of discovering a spiritual world beyond their dreams, beyond what they could have ever imagined. Meanwhile the divide today between believers and doubters of a spiritual reality is greater then ever. Each group has little room for the other. The existence of a non material reality is beyond doubt for one group while the other side has plenty of doubt that there is anything beyond what can be seen and demonstrated in a scientific lab. 

Where most everyone agrees is that those who have been touched by a spiritual awakening (no matter how real or imagined) find little support and guidance to sort things out. The popular media to be "fair and balanced" takes an agnostic approach to nearly everything spiritual. Education, medicine, and even most churches are firmly grounded in the rational world meaning one's personal experience of some other realm is suspect. 

A close friend of mine recently asked a leading Jewish Rabbi if he believed in Angels? Even though the Old Testament is full of stories of angels, the rabbi replied,"no." Meanwhile Pope Francis came out as a believer in angels shocking many especially the skeptical modern media
