The Spirituality of Physics
Bringing Heaven to Earth Through the Spirituality of Metaphysics
By Rev. John M. Kohlenberger, HHP
A PRELUDE TO ENLIGHTENMENT
This work is based on the premise that The Physical World (the Earth as described by “Physics”) is the result of the workings of spirit and thus works in harmony with natural law (often called Heavenly laws). This may seem to fly in the face of those who believe in a great chasm between what is termed the worlds of “physical” and “spiritual” or, “heaven” and “earth” or “God” and “man”, but it is time for many old out-worn belief systems to be replaced by more organic, holistic, enlightened and health-affirming concepts, for what some religionists call a New earth and a New heaven, or “a New Jerusalem”. This book is but a step in that creative process of evolution that we are all participants in, where life is allowed and encouraged (by the Creative Forces) to redefine itself ... continuously and forever.
Thus, this is a Holistic approach to life and love, which comes from years of study and experience as a Mechanical Engineer, Mathematician, Philosopher, Artist, Writer, Metaphysicist, Spiritualist Minister, Spiritual and Energetic Healer and Metaphysician. In these latter roles I have helped many clients re-honor their body, re-center their mind, reconnect with their natural wisdom so they may begin their journey anew, releasing the bonds of fear, as they grasp the wisdom and the freedom of love. This usually helps calm the mind and nerves, lower blood pressure, reduce destructive chemicals and toxins in tyhe body-mind, improve immune response and allows one to open their heart to a whole new view of life so they may reevaluate what is really important. While this is certainly a solid step towards health and healing, though it may seem to be “airy-fairy” today, it is a method of healing in the future.
Life itself may be viewed as a Metaphysical and Holistic journey of wonder. Like what many call God or Spirit, Life is never disconnected from its source or from itself; thus life exists in all dimensions and all universes. That is unity and unity is always whole, wholistic, holistic and holy. Thus life is, at its basis, holistic, holy and healthy; as is all of existence.
Are you not rather a miracle yourself? Look at your physical body. So often you take the absolute miracles taking place in your body, every second of every day, for granted. The mere movement of your hand, is that not in and of itself supernatural? Is that not in and of itself a miracle? Where does this energy come from? Is it only nerves? Isn’t it chemical as well? Why do these chemicals cause certain reactions that seem to cause muscles to tighten and loosen, resulting in physical movement of a limb of a finger. How did you, as a baby, learn to operste your brand new human body? How is it possible for you to learn to make these processes to be somewhat predictable and yet you don’t even have to think about them?
Sometimes it is better that you don’t think, however, these are some of the questions that you have to ask yourselves so you may suddenly appreciate the miraculous nature of existence – and of your physical body and existence.
And, so to use metaphysics and a holistic view to look at life is not so scary after all; as this view of life becomes much like a science of spirituality as one begins to sense the spiritual principles of science (on which "Spiritualism" is based). Physics and metaphysics are brothers in science and always have been. Metaphysics is the science of wonder. Thus the study of physics may lead to metaphysics, where healing and understanding begin as we not only question, investigate and understand the workings of physics, physical processes and physical laws, but eventually delve into the metaphysical aspects of Quantum Physics..
Let us now step forward together to explore some interesting facets of life in the physical as loved by the spiritual. If it were any other way, would you be here, now, reading this? I say “not”. Thus, this will be a kind of a journey in love.
IN THE BEGINNING
Beyond this material world, before there were such judgments and separations such as "space" and "time", thus distance, speed and acceleration or deceleration did not exist; there was the "Logos" or mind of God-Goddess. Within this mind, as in your own, it had dreams of becoming more than just unseen, unknown energy. This Gestalt, that we call God, longed to become "something", just as we humans do, for we inherited these longings from the original creative mind that is always dreaming of something different and better - forever.
So the Bible tells us that, in human terms, there was nothing in the beginning. And then that nothingness became aware - aware that it was. This was the first I AM. And, in its dreams, which were also ours at that time, it desired to become more; more than just a dream! This God Force wished to express itself fully and to experience what that was. This Conscious Awareness wanted to become these dreams that it had created, then to inhabit them, experience them and become them, thus to know itself to be the Creator and all the Creations that it knew it could become.
Thus began the ideas, and thus dimensions and spectrum, that we call "energy", expressing and expanding to become what they had not been before. So, as creations of and within this Creator, coming from these creative energies, we also inherited the desire to explore, expand, evaluate, grow and heal ... all of which we call "human disciplines" of science and art. Now, you may understand the term "God-given".
