The beginning of fearlessness quantum prodigal son pdf
When we attempted to slow our pace, we were met with the angry opposition of church leaders and members who had come to expect our regular contributions. Through the years we had become more disillusioned with the churchs teachings. We rarely mentioned our doubts, but when we did, our faith was questioned. We finally decided to take our concerns to the highest levels of church leadership, but our questions were treated as an assault on the church. Although we knew in advance the effects would be far reaching, we submitted a letter of resignation.
The church promptly responded with a public denunciation and excommunication. We were immediately rejected by all our lifelong friends and family. And, since we had been so completely enmeshed in the church, we felt like aliens in a world we didnt understand. As difficult as this was, the experience was offset by the opportunity to continue our search for God in complete freedom.
We began visiting a wide variety of churches and investigated a massive array of religious material. We also decided to reinvent ourselves by studying for new careers at university. We enjoyed our secular and spiritual investigations for several years, but they eventually became frustrating. Again we had gathered a lot of information, but none of it brought us any closer to knowing God first-hand. Through the years Lee had been dealing with lupus and multiple sclerosis, sometimes more successfully than others.
Eventually a worsening spinal defect put her in a wheel chair. At the same time, the chronic depression that had plagued Steven through the years was aggravated by a severe case of sleep apnea.
We were feeling extremely discouraged when suddenly things changed. Lee had surgery that got her back on her feet, and shortly afterward, she was offered a fellowship and teaching position at a university in another state. We were delighted with the change in our circumstances, but our excitement was extremely short lived as work, educational, financial, family and health problems all escalated dramatically within a very short time after settling in our new location.
We felt that every aspect of our lives was a dismal failure, especially our desire to know God. We felt so depressed and angry; we seriously doubted whether the Divine even existed. In a state of deep despair, we made a suicide pact. Our prayers had always been sincere, but our last prayer was significantly different. Instead of praying for help, we decided to ask only to know if the Divine existed. Then we would simply listen and accept any message we received.
We would wait one week; if listening didnt work any better than the other methods we had tried, we would swallow the prescription drugs we had hoarded.
The next day at the university bookstore, a book fell off a shelf onto our feet, and then another. This phenomenon couldnt be explained in any rational way, so we felt compelled to read the open pages. The words stunned us as they appeared to have been written expressly for us.
Whenever we tell this story, most people want to run out and get those magic books, but those books were magical only in the sense that they showed us what we personally needed to see.
It was even more important that we were now willing to see it. Truth is changeless, but it does come perfectly packaged to appeal to each of us. We like to think of it as an art show with a specific theme.
Each artist must stick to the theme, but theyre free to interpret it any way they would like. Although each work expresses the same theme, no two look alike.
Each work appeals to a different viewer, yet each of them is equally correct. That day at the university bookstore changed everything. We realized God wasnt holding out on us, we were holding out on God. Although our desire to know the Divine was genuine, we had approached the entire project from our own frame of reference. The brain loves the status quo and sees any idea that challenges it as a threat.
As a result, our brains had automatically filtered everything through the fundamentalist Christian thought system we were familiar with and rejected everything else. We had unwittingly expected to receive affirmations of our own perceptions. This attitude had firmly closed our minds to information the Divine had been trying to show us for years. Our deep despair had finally allowed us to surrender every personal preference, attachment, aversion, preconceived notion and religious belief that had clouded our minds.
Without realizing it, we had followed Rumis advice to Make everything in you an ear, each atom of your being, and you will hear at every moment what the Source is whispering to you, just to you and for you. From then on, we found the Divine everywhere. We would regularly see or hear something that would set off an intuitive flash. This book is an amazing journey to Oneness. History of Christianity, Gnosticism, Quantum Physics, and Eastern influence on Jesus and our world all come together with wonderful clarity.
The Prodigal Son becomes everyone of us but in a much expanded form of the science of quantum physics. It's an amazing book. Since we live in a world where we're assaulted with new reasons to fear on a daily basis, we'll never experience fearlessness by conquering one or two fears at a time. The Beginning of Fearlessness: Quantum Prodigal Son is a spiritual quest and a scientific adventure that finally brings together the information we need to make sense of the universe and our place in it.
After years of piecing together a wide variety of spiritual and scientific information, we discovered that fear originates in our fundamental misunderstanding of the universe and our place in it.
Eliminating these misunderstandings proved to be the beginning of fearlessness we all desire. Although this sounds impossible, we found others who had discovered the beginning of fearlessness too. If they could live a life of fearlessness, you can too. The book reveals an amazing message hidden in Jesus' parable of the prodigal son. Their fascinating treatment explains how God cares for and interacts with his creation while science offers a reliable way to understand the world he made.
Western culture has been moving away from its Christian roots for several centuries but the turn from Christianity accelerated in the 20th century. At the core of this decline is a loss of a sense of our own transcendence.
Scientific materialism has so seriously impacted our belief in human transcendence. The reality of this world is one end time prophecy after another. Following the absolute end of the ultimate apocalypse are positive beginnings. This definite destruction is ensued by one last chance to end all the ignorance.
This is so we may move into Tomorrow from Yesterday, Today. This book. Home Quantum Prodigal Son. Quantum Prodigal Son. Prodigal Son by Christina Engela.
