Setting God Free (2021)

There is such an element of truth to the idea that we make God in our own image that it allows us the introspection to realize that everything about the world is also a product of our thoughts.

In an oppressive society, there are very few “truths” outside of the consensual reality. It then becomes very difficult to experience that which the culture insists does not exist. On the other hand, in an evolving society, people are free, even encouraged, to think and explore outside the box. One function of the prophet is to break open the boxes, the constricting reality models, the small “truths” and deficient cosmologies, in order to invite us to wonder and venture more deeply into the awesome mystery of God.

The Ultimate Reality is the God-perspective. If Truth is transformation, then Reality is alignment with Love in one of its many manifestations. If, on the other hand, a reality model leads me into fear, in one of its many manifestations, while it may be true and real, it most certainly is not True or Real.

Where truth is in the judgment and reality is in the composite amalgam of the truths, cosmology is the explanatory model that pulls it all together and offers a satisfactory, solid basis for life.

Sean is a man whom I admire greatly. This book helps me to see how I have been struggling for years to find the right words to explain what I know unconsciously. Sean and I are spiritual warriors, together.

In one of Sean’s own YouTube videos (from 2020), he postulates that Buddha and Jesus are the same soul, but in different bodies. I came to the same conclusion here. Maybe I have been on the right track with my karmic astrology and reincarnation. Maybe I am further along than I thought possible.

Maybe I had to set God free.
