Q : I guess our human society is not ready, on a grand scale, to grapple with metaphysics, to deal with what some have called alchemy, and to rigorously apply what so many have called the power of positive thinking.
Some individuals have done it, and some spiritual groups—relatively small as a proportion of the whole of humanity—have done it, but I’m seeing what you're saying now. As a civilization we have not come anywhere near harnessing the power of metaphysics.
Q : Yes. There was a movie and a book out a few years ago called The Secret, which talked all about the power that lies within us to create our own reality. And as an illustration of this, the movie showed a man finding the car of his dreams in the driveway, a woman suddenly noticing a diamond necklace adorning her bodice, and even a nine-year-old boy rejoicing over the shiny new bicycle just outside the back door.
But I can see that these are just our first baby steps. I couldn’t help but wonder, if the “secret” was so powerful, why wasn’t it being used to create, say, world peace?
This idea wasn’t even mentioned in the movie as a possible application—pretty much letting us know where the members of our species place world peace vis-à-vis new cars, diamond necklaces, and shiny new bikes on the scale of importance. Or at least, where the movie’s producers assumed we place it.
Q : Yes, my wonderful friend John Hagelin has traveled the globe making this point. A renowned quantum physicist, science and public policy expert, educator, and author, Dr. Hagelin offers us this from his online writings:
“Most people don’t know how deeply their own consciousness is connected to the collective fate of the planet—or how they can use a powerful, scientifically tested technology of consciousness to help create world peace on Earth virtually overnight.
“More than fifty demonstration projects and twenty-three studies published in leading peer-reviewed journals have shown that this new consciousness-based approach to world peace neutralizes the ethnic, political, and religious tensions in society that give rise to crime, violence, terrorism, and war.
“The approach has been tested on the local, state, national, and international levels, and it has worked every time, resulting in highly significant drops in negative social trends and improvements in positive trends.
“Large groups of peace-creating experts, practicing these technologies of consciousness together, dive deep within themselves to the most fundamental level of mind and matter, which physics calls the unified field.
“From that level of life they create a tidal wave of harmony and coherence that can permanently alter society for the better, as the research confirms. And this consciousness-based approach is holistic, easy to implement, non-invasive, and cost effective.”
Q : Nothing more than an awakening. Even just a beginning awareness of these things could get things started on a larger scale. I was struck by one of the video programs that John Hagelin made about all this, which ends with this quote:
A : There you have it. Tell everyone you know. And have them tell everyone they know. Metaphysics works. It’s the lynchpin of the universe. And Highly Evolved Beings know this.
