Welcome to this week’s Bill Harvey Blog

We all subconsciously have a continuous yearning to get back to the Garden, to feel that numinous, magical thrill we subconsciously remember having as a child. That yearning is to have that feeling all the time, not just in momentary flashes, most of us treasure as peak experiences that came out of nowhere on a beach or a hill or in meditation, where we experienced the certainty of ubiquitous love all around us and throughout our own being.
The practice of worship in temples came out of that yearning.
The brilliant writer David Brooks in his May Atlantic article “History Is Running Backwards,” explains how this yearning helps drive the traditionalist movements around the world. He does not use the term “MAGA” but brings it to mind. Sympathetically, he rationalizes their cause as a mistaken belief that turning back the clock to the past is a realistic way of achieving the recapturing of spirituality, meaning, and purpose to Life. He agrees that we have lost a lot, that there has been “emotional, social, and spiritual decay.”
He offers as a solution the teaching, once again, of the Bible and the humanities, that the moral wisdom we need will once again be imbued in us by this approach. I certainly agree that it would help for parents and schools at all levels to make the greatest books of all times reading matter for children, and to discuss those readings with them. But I think the emptiness within requires more than that.
I feel that the consciousness which is the Universe wants to remember Itself, and in any incarnation where that is absent, there will be a sense of loss, emptiness, and a subconscious drive to find that Self once again. And the absence of that Self-realization inevitably leads to moral and social decay, because other people will seem to be less important to the local vessel self.
In my estimation, Jesus knew all this and had a 100% understanding that we are all One Consciousness, and was wise to also understand that the idea was too big to be grokked by the primitives of the time. Therefore, he spoke in simplified ways that encompassed the implications of the truth that they needed to know, that we are all children of One Father and should therefore play nice with one another.
In modern times, this simplified language no longer gets through to the minds practiced on mechanistic and scientistic thinking. The untold messages of Jesus need to be spelled out in the language He would use with us today.
There is ample evidence in the Bible that Jesus stated clearly that there is more to be told and that it would be revealed later. For example, in John 16:12-13, Jesus explicitly tells his disciples that they aren’t ready for the full truth yet, and that later, when they are ready for it, the Holy Spirit will enter them and reveal more to them in their own minds: “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.”
To all of my audience, I say this: The Theory of the Conscious Universe is 100% consistent with science and with everything written in the Bible at the same time. In my estimation, it is all true. The One lives inside us all, as us.
Because this is understandably hard to believe, living as we are in such a vicious time period, with such complexity and confusion that our minds being so boggled we doubt everything, I’ve written two fictional novels which show how science and the Bible both can be true at the same time, entitled The Great Being and The First Son. I wrote those books so that people can see for themselves that it can all fit together perfectly and that we are, in fact, the avatars of the most amazingly potent and loving Being we could ever imagine.
It could not be otherwise. Something does not happen for no reason. The reason there is this Universe is for the love of play and creation and the love of one’s creations. There is only One of Us. We live through many versions of Ourself because it is much more fun that way. Only in some places and times we get lost and scared and blame it on each other. But with God’s help, we will come out of it better than we ever were before.

My new book POWERFUL MIND is now available in e-Book format at
&
“A compelling, optimistic, and original approach to mental focus, Powerful Mind is an innovative tool for self-discovery and creative liberation. Succinctly outlined and intuitively structured, this book is replete with rational advice, using a radical but commonsense approach. It takes a rare and adroit thinker to incorporate myriad worldviews and welcome diverse readers, regardless of ideological allegiance, but Harvey shows himself to be precisely that. The book is a masterfully structured, intellectually affirming, and potentially paradigm-shifting read.”
