Columbus Day, the day Columbus brought European corruption to America, the Canadians celebrate this day as one to give thanks. Why? I’ll try to answer my question.
One hundred-seventeen years after Columbus arrived, not to mention what took place with the arrival of Cortez and the Catholic invasion of Mexico—just look at south of the border even today; it is appalling—in the interim of this southern fiasco, in 1609, England’s King James established Jamestown in what is now Virginia. The occupants of Jamestown had little more than the people who begin civilization 5,000 years earlier. It is of vital interest today of what happened to make a 5,000 year leap in 500 years. It is of vital interest of what the Declaration of Independence, America’s adamant departure from European corruption on July 4, 1776, meant.
Unfortunately, ninety-nine percent of the American people would say “so what” to the fact that the zodiac gave the birth of America the sign of Aquarius, the water-bearer to humanity. I venture to say that few, if any Christians connect “in earth as in heaven” in the Lord’s Prayer with the Age of Aquarius.
Three Persian astrologers, the Magi, followed the Star of Bethlehem to the birthplace of the Christ-child. It’s in the Gospel of St. Matthew. Christians, it appears, have selective understanding, the same as all religions.
We are told religion is a thing separate from the law—separation of the church and state, that is. Poppycock! The governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, a Roman, asked Jesus if he believed he was king of the Jews. Jesus said his kingdom was in heaven. Is heaven and earth separate? Not according to Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount. He said “in earth as it is in heaven.” Separation of earth with heaven has to be accomplished to make the authoritative answer work, which is what was done. Pontius Pilate washed his hands of this Jewish problem. Jesus had to go. He was a serious threat to the powers that be.
In quantum physics, the study of the microcosmic, a dimension of the universe that is not yet physical in the sense that we know the physical, classical physics says it doesn’t relate to our world. Let us spin this idea in the opposite direction. The ancient sages of India believed that so is the microcosmic, so is the macrocosmic. Therefore, “in earth as it is in heaven.” You can’t divide the universe for convenience’s sake. This is not part of our teaching. Still, to make a 5,000 year leap in a tenth the time—how do you figure it?
Carl Jung coined the word synchronistic. Wikipedia: the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. I’ve spent years going over the events in my life. There are too many coincidences to say they are not synchronistically connected.
“In earth as it is in heaven,” the ancient Mayan calendar is based synchronistic happenings. Richard Tarnas places September 11, 2001, as significant in the earth and heaven relationship. In Cosmos and Pysche, Tarnas goes into great detail on why he believes there is consistency between the outer planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history. He spent 30 years studying the alignments of the outer planets. By the way, Saturn and Pluto went into unfavorable alignment in November 2008. That’s bad news. Obama was elected in November 2008.
The thing that impresses me the most, though, is quantum physics discoveries, which brings religion, the law, and science together into one mold. In a few words, in Even Harris Walker’s The Physics of Consciousness, under “A God for Tomorrow,” “But it is with the advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. In the development of quantum theory, the observer emerges as a co-equal in the found of creation.” “And God said, Let us make man in our image” (Gen. 1:26).
“Consciousness, the substance of this newfound reality,” states Walker, “that defines the observer,” does it not have fundamental existence? Giving thanks for Columbus’ discovery of America is in the quantum mind we each possess—the basic reality for our existence as a free people. We are now being put to the test: independence or one and all for the collective good. Who has a good word to say about the collective good? Based on past experience, is it something to be thankful for? Pray tell us why.
