Читать книгу It's All God, The Flowers and the Fertilizer - Walter JD Starcke - Страница 5

Before committing myself to writing this book, I often asked why, in the light of the many erudite and profound books being published daily, was it necessary for me to write this one. I have no desire to invent a new philosophy or religion or to refute any that presently exist. I feel that everyone is attending the right church, studying the right teaching, and learning the lessons they are ready to learn in the process of discovering what works for them in their present state of consciousness. Everyone is being led by an invisible hand.

However, apart from following internal orders, every time I have asked myself why I have had the urge to write this book, three purposes have come to mind. First, I want to tell everyone that it is never too late. Profound concepts that I personally responded to and have entered into my diaries as long as fifty years ago have just now, in my late seventies, shifted gear from mind into conscious experience. Truths that I longed to be able to implement in my life have finally become livable for me.

I am almost the person now I have always wanted to be—not quite, thank God, but much closer than I was just a few years ago. If I had totally succeeded, there would be no reason to continue being enrolled in this often-confusing university we call the human experience except, perhaps, to share myself. The personal episodes which have brought me to this point have shown me, without a doubt, that at last it is possible for the man of earth aspect of my being and my man of God potential to finally communicate with each other and truly function as one. I have discovered how to consciously access freedoms that I could only have speculated about in the past—and finally know what it means to glimpse ascension consciousness. There hasn’t been any thing or any experience that I, or any of us, have gone through that has been accidental or wasted; all have been necessary to bring each of us individually to this moment of time and to this stage of our spiritual growth. What’s more, at this precise instant we are receiving unparalleled help from other dimensions that can now accelerate our evolution if we have developed the capacity to open ourselves and are sensitive to them.

The second reason I am writing this book is because, though there are a number of writings, which clearly explain the “what”—what is taking place and what needs to be done—there are few that successfully balance the preliminary “what” with the complementary and necessary “how.”

The third, and perhaps most important reason that I am writing this book, is to create a bridge that has for me (and may for you) revealed a meaningful continuity between our existing culture, our current stage of evolution, and our inherited spiritual roots. Who we are today is not happenstance. Until we understand and are reconciled with how we got where we are, our futures are hit and miss. Who and where we are have to do with the power of myth and our need to reinterpret the primary myth upon which our Western culture has been formulated and based, the Judeo-Christian myth.

Finally, as my intention is to share my thoughts in hopes that they will fuel yours, I have no intention of posing as an academic, I am not an ordained minister, and have no Ph.D. to hide behind. I hope that you will read this book more as a written conversation than as any kind of final word. Because the “what” has to precede the “how,” the first section of this writing will concentrate on my interpretation of what I surmise has taken place in the past and what it has led to in the present. This part is less personal and more factual. The later sections of the book are the more personal “how to” parts: How to use the tools we have been given through the ages in order to find the multidimensional and cohesive level of fulfillment that makes it possible for us to see that it is all God.
