Multimodae Notae

MULTIMODAE NOTAE:

    Neville quotes will be good support for my thesis that the universe is magical and everything is possible.

    We all live in a dream anyway.  Phenomenally.  Kant.  Berkeley.  Others.

    Even if I be proved wrong, I will proceed as if I am right.  After all, most everybody proceeds as if they think they will live forever.  The only difference is, I proceed as if our souls live forever while I know our physical bodies will die.

    I think that it is ironic that my critics demand that I visit the crippled neighbor when none of these critics visit me.  Not that I would want them to.  It is just ironic and highlights their insensitivities and lack of insight.

    I must make ready my blogspot address and my email address to hand to people who ask me to explain myself to them.

    Answers to questions about “James Harold Bath” can be found on the internet by visiting my blog at Bridge2Eternity.blogspot.com; or by going to one of the online eBook publishers and doing a search on my full author name (James Harold Bath).

    When one considers the physical to be only a thick layer of the mental, the Bridge to Eternity does not seem as far fetched an idea as some materialists would have it.

    How far fetched was the idea of humans flying through the air before they actually began to fly?

    There have been countless people throughout  time who have tried and tried and tried to come to a solution to their problems and failed to arrive at one until they finally gave up.  Then as if by magic the solution fell right into their laps.  It happened at the moment of surrender, not at the moment of applying a scientific effort.  It happened when all effort stopped.  Science?  Faith?  Magic?  Nature allowed it to flow.  Nature does not only cover the physical world.  All subtle planes of existence are in her fold.

    Is entering eternal life really just a matter of relaxing our obstructing efforts to get there?  That is, are our efforts to enter Eternity blinding our awareness of already being in Eternity?  Is the effort obstructing our view of Eternity?  Is the psychological sweat of the effort blurring our vision?  Is our only obstacle to eternal life the belief that we are not already living eternal lives?  Are we here but think we are not here because we are caught up in trying to get here?

    It is a bit like the fellow looking all over the house, in drawers, under tables, in closets and other rooms, for the glasses he is already wearing on his face.  Sometimes we just need to settle down and relax and rub our eyes.

    This is especially so when searching for our connection to Eternity.  Every effort is a confirmation that we have not found it yet.  That confirmation is just an illusion which acts like a self fulfilling prophecy.  We become what we believe -- lost.  It feels like an awful, tearful, agonizing state when we're searching so frantically for our eternal souls and find ourselves forced to give up in utter despair.

    Then reality pops in and blurts: "Hi there.  I've been here the whole time, Silly, while you were running around like a chicken with his head cut off looking for me!  You've been fooling yourself with your own fear, fellow.  Learn to relax, man.  You've got all of Eternity to find things in, even your own soul.  You don't have to finish it all this very minute!"

    "But what about my wife who has gone on before me?  I worry about her.  She might need me!"

    "Your dear loved ones don't need you anymore than you need them.  The panic and heartbreak is all in your mind. Just relax and let divine Nature finish her job.  One of you had to go first and the other had to go last into the next world.  She was first.  And you are next.  Your ticket home is being printed as we speak. Finish up those few things you need to take care of before you go.  And don’t worry!"  

    Thus saith pure consciousness, our Lord and Creator.
