And the goal of the thetan is to attain "God realization".
I haven't read much real "eastern spirituality and philosophy".
But I have read some, especially some what I would call second hand stuff, or
indirect stuff, which means authors who have done a lot of real, serious
eastern stuff.
I either was not attracted to study a lot of it, or go deep into it, or I
wanted to read stuff that I was more drawn to read.
I would read a lot more, but there is only so much time, so I prioritize.
That is on one hand.
On the other, during "releases" from auditing, I think I have reached the
levels of " all knowledge", or rather just touched it.
That is probably what is called "akashic records".
An analogy is this world is like a radio or TV with multiple channels.
We commonly operate on one common channel. It has a roughly specific range.
But there are others and I would say they are a type of wave length or
dimension with a certain frequency range.
(Use the light spectrum as an example. )
In the bible it says:
The Father's house has many mansions.
I would say "mansions" mean dimensions or wavelengths.
On a tangent:
I am reading the Urantia book now. It is actually a tome. (It is the most
difficult book and most overwhelming book I have come across. I have been
picking away at it, on and off, here and there, for 10 yrs.
...................... I met a guy who has read it once a yr for the last 28
yrs. )
It is supposed to be channeled by beings from the highest or furthest away from
our dimension, higher than any other channeled stuff on earth. Or in other
words the highest degree or level of spiritual data on earth.
Anyways here is a recent quote, which I get one sent daily from from the
Urantia Foundation in Chicago. It is related to or along the lines of what
we are discussing now :
A Thought to Ponder from The Urantia Book
"The
God-knowing individual is not one who is blind to the difficulties or
unmindful of the obstacles which stand in the way of finding God ...He
has encountered all these deterrents and triumphed over them, surmounted
them by living faith, and attained the highlands of spiritual
experience in spite of them."
(1126.6) 102:7.6
Here is a cut and paste of page 21:
I highlighted the pertinent part in red.
The primary "life goal" is the seeking of "God realization", to become like
God.
I hope the text comes through with the high light.
If not, it is in paragraph three:
The transcendent goal of the children of time is to find
the eternal God, to comprehend the divine nature, to recognize the
Universal Father. God-knowing creatures have only one supreme ambition,
just one consuming desire, and that is to become, as they are in their
spheres, like him as he is in his Paradise perfection of personality and
in his universal sphere of righteous supremacy. From the Universal
Father who inhabits eternity there has gone forth the supreme mandate,
“Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.” In love and mercy the messengers
of Paradise have carried this divine exhortation down through the ages
and out through the universes, even to such lowly animal-origin
creatures as the human races of Urantia.
The Urantia Book
Paper 1
The Universal Father *
(21.1) 1:0.1 THE
Universal Father is the God of all creation, the First Source and Center
of all things and beings. First think of God as a creator, then as a
controller, and lastly as an infinite upholder. The truth about the
Universal Father had begun to dawn upon mankind when the prophet said:
“You, God, are alone; there is none beside you. You have created the
heaven and the heaven of heavens, with all their hosts; you preserve and
control them. By the Sons of God were the universes made. The Creator
covers himself with light as with a garment and stretches out the
heavens as a curtain.” Only the concept of the Universal Father — one
God in the place of many gods — enabled mortal man to comprehend the
Father as divine creator and infinite controller.
(21.2) 1:0.2 The myriads
of planetary systems were all made to be eventually inhabited by many
different types of intelligent creatures, beings who could know God,
receive the divine affection, and love him in return. The universe of
universes is the work of God and the dwelling place of his diverse
creatures. “God created the heavens and formed the earth; he established
the universe and created this world not in vain; he formed it to be
inhabited.”
(21.3) 1:0.3 The
enlightened worlds all recognize and worship the Universal Father, the
eternal maker and infinite upholder of all creation. The will creatures
of universe upon universe have embarked upon the long, long Paradise
journey, the fascinating struggle of the eternal adventure of attaining
God the Father. The transcendent goal of the children of time is to find
the eternal God, to comprehend the divine nature, to recognize the
Universal Father. God-knowing creatures have only one supreme ambition,
just one consuming desire, and that is to become, as they are in their
spheres, like him as he is in his Paradise perfection of personality and
in his universal sphere of righteous supremacy. From the Universal
Father who inhabits eternity there has gone forth the supreme mandate,
“Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.” In love and mercy the messengers
of Paradise have carried this divine exhortation down through the ages
and out through the universes, even to such lowly animal-origin
creatures as the human races of Urantia.
(22.1) 1:0.4 This
magnificent and universal injunction to strive for the attainment of the
perfection of divinity is the first duty, and should be the highest
ambition, of all the struggling creature creation of the God of
perfection. This possibility of the attainment of divine perfection is
the final and certain destiny of all man’s eternal spiritual progress.
(22.2) 1:0.5 Urantia
mortals can hardly hope to be perfect in the infinite sense, but it is
entirely possible for human beings, starting out as they do on this
planet, to attain the supernal and divine goal which the infinite God
has set for mortal man; and when they do achieve this destiny, they
will, in all that pertains to self-realization and mind attainment, be
just as replete in their sphere of divine perfection as God himself is
in his sphere of infinity and eternity. Such perfection may not be
universal in the material sense, unlimited in intellectual grasp, or
final in spiritual experience, but it is final and complete in all
finite aspects of divinity of will, perfection of personality
motivation, and God-consciousness.
(22.3) 1:0.6 This is the
true meaning of that divine command, “Be you perfect, even as I am
perfect,” which ever urges mortal man onward and beckons him inward in
that long and fascinating struggle for the attainment of higher and
higher levels of spiritual values and true universe meanings. This
sublime search for the God of universes is the supreme adventure of the
inhabitants of all the worlds of time and space.
