Proof. Back to previous page. Does God Exist ? Epistemology, or the theory of knowledge, is a venerable branch of philosophy precisely because it is an eternally vexed question : no one knows the answer. No one knows how we can be absolutely sure we know anything. Ultimately we have to admit we can only prove anything in a qualified way. This is true for purely scientific reasons as well for more human (less rational) considerations. We all know nothing will convince the man, or woman, who doesn't want to accept black is black. Science, and particularly philosophy, struggles with the same problem. Ultimately we cannot even prove we exist. It only demonstrates the desperate credos we are reduced to in order to solve this problem. Enlightened Uncertainty. Ancient Tibetan Buddhist philosophy goes as far as to recognise nothing really exists as an 'independent entity' or fact. The existence and perception of everything is dependent on relative factors, inextricably interdependent. When we stop seeing the different things and sense instead an essence present, a wonderful oneness, uniting everything. Relatively modern western philosophy has naturally not yet shaken its fundamental dependence on materialism. It hasn’t gone quite so far. Look Before You Leap. The existence or otherwise of God is clearly a deeply- charged emotional issue for everyone. It goes to the heart of our philosophy of life. Yet it’s significance is so profoundly intrinsic to our life, we are naturally reluctant to even recognise this emotional element. We typically defend our views with unreasonable rationalisations. Inevitably our feelings affect our perception of any evidence for or against the existence of God or the spiritual world. This is only right and essential. We cannot change our whole attitude to life with every new idea, argument or scrap of evidence which comes along. Generally we never change our minds on these big questions once we’ve decided and our initial decision is only partly rational. Much more it seems to be based on the company we keep. Since the implications are so great, there has to be a healthy resistance in our beliefs which makes a formidable challenge for any new idea to overcome. When the astrological evidence involved is anathema, high heresy, to most believers, one can expect an exceptional challenge . We are venturing on territory which is the jealously guarded preserve of modern science, modern material science. It is not true to say modern science never accepts this evidence and psychology deals in this currency regularly but it is a peculiar kind of evidence which, like a Scottish pound note, is not widely recognised outside that territory. Which would not be accepted as payment in weighty affairs. Certainly this kind of human evidence is regularly refused in any question of the validity of the spiritual world. Human evidence is accepted daily in the weighty affairs of the courts, of course, and if someone testifies they have seen a crime committed this is generally taken as proof enough for a serious conviction. Where human evidence is accepted in support of spiritual phenomena, such artificial, inhuman laboratory conditions are imposed as to create an unnatural and inconducive situation which strongly militates against a proper, normal, natural result. When it is a question of such fundamental significance, one cannot expect modern science to yield easily the veracity of human testimony, however well verified it might be. Scientific Inhumanity and Prejudice. If we refuse human evidence we become inhuman and there is a growing consensus and concern this is precisely the fate modern science is suffering. We will find maintaining this modern prejudice in science is an untenable and historically damning attitude, already well past its . There may be problems with this human evidence, as there was with the evidence of illiterates but then there are problems with every kind of evidence, as we have noted above, not to mention the evidence of . Within the astrological science of metaphysics. The evidence here is largely historical and circumstantial but ultimately, since it rests on the ancient science of astrology, the human element is crucial. If this creates a favourable tide, many more barriers may be overcome. It is surely high time. The evidence for the science behind religion centres on the Tree of Life and the Kabbalah. This ancient, esoteric or secret Jewish Tradition readily reveals the Tree of Life as the foundation of biblical wisdom and even the ancient Hebrew alphabet. Beyond this, the wonderful preservation of the Kabbalah of the Tree of Life enables us to recognise the evidence of its similar role in all the great faiths worldwide, from the ancient Egyptian pantheon to the Chinese Taoist tri- grams and the pantheon and metaphysics of Buddhism and Hinduism. This evidence is supported by the irresistible simplicity of the logic this should be so. If this science is true for one culture, it is true for us all. The ultimate knowledge and insight which the Tree of Life presents into the celestial metaphysics which rule all life on earth, this is not something for the wise of one culture to keep to themselves. The sophisticated metaphysics of this universal Tradition of the Tree of Life is both theoretically objective and empirically scientific within a wide variety of fields. It is also remarkably consistent around the world. This sophisticated spiritual science provides the theoretical basis for the claim to prove the existence of God, the reality of the divine spirit within all Creation. Spiritual energy may be subtler than the quarks but many would argue its power is somewhat more in evidence. The official explanation is the spiritual power of the Sephiroth has created the planets in their own image, in the image of the Tree, just as man is evidently created in the image of the Tree. The primary source for the ancients’ recognition of the patterns and spirits of the Tree of Life will have been astrology. The twenty- two Paths of the Tree are designated for the ten planets and twelve Signs of a terrestrial horoscope and are the basis for the names of the twenty- two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The astrological nature of the Tree is left in no doubt by the description in Revelation Ch. The twenty- two chapters of Revelation seem to be a tribute to the central importance of the Tree with its twenty- two Paths. The Tree is particularly prominent in the mystic symbolism of apocalyptic visions such as Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel which so dominate the biblical landscape. Just as it is possible to recognise the esoteric insights of the Kabbalah in the portraits of the Taoist tri- grams and the Hindu gods, based on the major planets on the Tree, it is not difficult to make the same recognition for the Persons of the Trinity, as well as the Virgin Mary and the Devil. This overwhelming and universal dominance for the planets in our religious life over the last two thousand years and apparently at least the two millennia before that, should persuade us beyond doubt or hesitation of the validity of the science behind religion and the objective existence of God. But we are all too human and far from the strictly rational creatures we like to pretend. Impossible to Believe. When the essential evidence is so simple (though the detail can be as profound and complex as one wants) and adds up, culture to culture and millennium after millennium, to such a compelling case, we must question the cultural context which makes the acceptance of this evidence so difficult and virtually impossible for many. We are always going to be cautious, to put it mildly, in a matter of such moment. It is not the matter of a moment. If we can recognise this natural inertia, we can also perhaps begin to recognise the role of other feelings, perhaps less legitimate feelings, albeit a very natural prejudice against the spiritual realm. Given the climate of our times. We might even be able to recognise the very natural, human impulse to denial of the possibility of such prejudice, in our own case. For when we talk about the ancient science of astrology we are immediately talking about the spiritual realm. There is no denying that. There is no serious question the forces of astrology are beyond any physical dimension. This is why modern science dismisses out- of- hand any question of the validity of astrology. This is modern material science’s bottom line, it’s QED, quod erat demonstrandum, proven beyond question. If it’s not physical it simply can’t exist, it’s beyond rational consideration.
Search torrent: The Black Whole. If you like to learn about scientific advances. I immediately put this DVD, 'Black Whole,' on my wish list. I Oneness; II Spirit; III Science; IV Planet. Black Whole Do you know we. Black Whole uncovers scientific proof that we are one. Not So Sure at the Top. We will discover below even the top physicists are not quite so sure about this . But the evidence, human evidence perhaps, is unequivocal : this conclusion is unsustainable. What we do lack is the language or map to distinguish precisely one feature of this alien, yet familiar territory from another. A gold rush of pioneers for the fabulous riches beyond this final frontier should provide these maps, this language. This is a veritable El Dorado or a Shangri- la on a continental scale which already has its brave, unnoticed colonists. There is plenty for all and we shall find the time is ripe for a world used to new wonders every day. It is high time to discover a treasure which doesn’t turn to dry dust in one’s hands, which isn’t cursed with bitter death, as our materialistic nightmare is proving for far too many, for us all. This is the long promised Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and it is no false promise. It is the gift of God. And we have no where else to go. For all the modern colonists, it is not a realm which has been visited much by experienced cartographers, let alone under the guidance of a native. The native chiefs will have (had) maps, language, but where will we find them now ? Few natives of this vast continent still survive for they have been marginalized and decimated by a genocidal policy of materialistic attrition which continues apace today.
