Journey to Light

If God created the universe, then who created God? This question baffles even the most “genius-level” scientific minds of our time. It is such a perplexing question that many people find it easier to simply become atheists and proclaim God does not exist. But even then, with their simple way out of acknowledging God, how do atheists truly answer even the scientific conundrums like how big is the universe, or where do atoms and their subatomic particles of protons, neutrons, and electrons come from, or why do subatomic particles exist in their particular configurations? If subatomic particles come from the “big-bang” (another overly simplistic explanation that tries to negate the existence of God), then where did the “big-bang” come from? Where did the material that enabled the “big-bang” come from? It is impossible to get something from nothing, so where did the primordial “something” come from? Of course, the “genius-level” minds of our time will tell me that I’m being naïve; that I a...

There was a time in ancient history when the human race was in direct contact with the “gods” (for example: 1Enoch 3:1-14, and 1Enoch 5:24-34 ; Genesis 3:8-12).  In my opinion, the “gods” were fallen angelic beings who came from God but were not God. However, in the eyes of early humans, the fallen angelic beings must have seemed “God-like” due to their advanced physical and mental capabilities. Since the beginning of our modern human race we have been confused about this. In fact, the entire Old Testament is full of references to gods interacting directly with humans, and humans confusing the gods with the ONE true God. Consider the many examples where the gods – as the persona Yahweh – interacted and spoke with humans (see the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, and on, and on). I assert that human interaction with the gods continued up to the time of the prophet Ezekiel – circa 622 BCE to 570 BCE – when Ezekiel witnessed the depa...

In this life, there are times when we feel that God is far away. At those times it’s important to know that God has not left us. Whether we accept it or not, God is everywhere, in everything, always. The endless universe is God, and we live inside it. When we first become aware of our connection with God, in the sense that we are soul (and not merely the outer shell of an individualistic body) and that soul is one with God, it’s like having an opaque veil fall from our face and we suddenly see the reality that has been concealed from us all our life. It’s a quiet and deeply personal experience accompanied by happiness and agitation all at once. Happiness from the realisation “finally I can see and now I know what’s been disturbing me all my life”, and agitation from the realisation “how could I not have seen this before, and now that I see it, what do I do with it?” Once we start to “see” God through soul consciousness, we must actively and deliberately work at keeping and building tha...

It is a tendency in the modern times we live in now for us humans to think of ourselves as the “the centre of the universe”. We think of ourselves as the biggest and most intelligent life form on this planet. We certainly do not appreciate the scale of the universe, even as it is presented in our own solar system, let alone its infinite nature beyond our solar system. Most of us cannot grasp the idea of there being something bigger than us, especially on a cosmic and spiritual scale. I think this is a factor of the “seeing is believing”, empirical nature of human cognition. So let’s go there – to the “seeing is believing” tendency. The photograph I posted for this article is of the entrance or gateway – the Propylaea – to the Acropolis complex in Athens, Greece. This photograph cannot do justice to the true scale of the structure. As I came around the corner from the south of the structure I remember being awe-struck by the towering height of the gateway, and how the walls and columns ...
