As a spiritual-futurist, I have a BA degree majoring in history. One cannot know the future without knowing the past which holds clues to what is on the horizon. The world is in such a rapid expansion of knowledge that we are close to entering a tipping point that will forever change earth as we know it.
Friedrich Nietzsche is notable for having declared that God is dead and for having written several of his works in the presumption that man must find a new mode of being given the demise of God. We seldom hear of that last preoccupation that drove Nietzsche. This brilliant German philosopher was a man ahead of his time. Why do I say that? We are now witnessing that new understanding of the God that primarily RELIGION killed.
The God of Nietzsche's days is dead. But, who was that God and who killed Him-Her-It?
I know, using the word IT loses a lot of the emotional and subjective meaning that we humans must have. It bothers me; however, if I don't throw it in every now and then, I'll get stuck in the sympathetic swamp of anthropomorphic overkill that led us to the straw-man God in the first place.
Nietzsche wasn't comfortable with the ineffectiveness of the naive and popular God to which people prayed to that was OUT THERE somewhere. Nor was his philosophical insights capable or rationalizing or making sense of this God that religion had created with all the rules, rituals, and hierarchy that kept us at bay from the throne of this Being.
Have you ever been there?
In other words, Nietzsche simply couldn't buy in to the DUALISM that the scientific revolution had proven was impossible to uphold. Nietzsche could not see how a God OUT THERE with a different SUBSTANCE than we DOWN HERE. How was it possible for these two substances to intertwine? What was the signals, means of communications that would feasibly and rationally work? The religious answer of prayer and the Holy Spirit weren't answer he could accept.
Eleven score and a few years after his death, we now know!
Quantum physics is not even allowing the most determined materialistic scientists to hide. DUALISM is what's DEAD: not the God, and it's been replaced by a TRUE image of God that our increased consciousness is producing. We're not completely there, but we're a long way from the GRAVE of DUALISM. Quantum physics allows even the most hardened materialist to see the immanence and transcendence of Consciousness. Consciousness (God) is primacy.
God is ALIVE as long as you're not still worshipping at the altar of the God of DUALISM! :-)

You Gotta Have Faith
By: Michael A. Verdicchio | 11/12/2009If your faith is big enough you will make it to heaven. Blind faith is the way you prove to God that you really are serious.

Temptations
By: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg | 10/12/2009Which temptation was more challenging? Was it Potiphar’s wife or, perhaps it was the temptation to ask Pharaoh’s wine steward to help him get out of jail?
