It Really Is Time To Wake Up World
By Michael J. Roads
Years ago, I remember hearing a story of how God came to
Earth to see how humanity was developing. Having created us, it is obvious that
God had a strong sense of humour, so there came the time when God called
humanity together to share the latest funny story from the the angel-net. The
joke was very involved, so as time passed people became rather sleepy. God,
being God, took care that nobody had hunger or thirst, but completely
overlooked the fact that people live with linear time. For God, all time occupies
the same moment.
After a couple of weeks, many people were asleep. A month
after the funny story began, God still had not reached the punch-line, but by
this time all humanity was deeply asleep. God looked around, shrugged, and
said, “Never mind, you will ‘get’ the joke when you wake up”.
Most of humanity is still asleep. The joke is on us.
If you were to tell any regular/normal person – if such
exists! – that it is time to wake up, I’m sure they would reply by saying, “I
am awake”. Okay, so what exactly do we mean when we say “it’s time to wake up?”
For me, there are several levels of meaning.
Reclaiming Health
A very obvious level is the mostly unrealised, but rapidly
declining human health in the Western World. To make a mere offering from the
vast quantity of statistics available, it is estimated that by 2020 over 50% of
the population will be diagnosed with cancer! Currently, every minute a person
dies of cancer, with a new case diagnosed every 3 minutes.
In Australia, diabetes will soon be the No. 1 cause of
death. In Europe an estimated 55 million people have diabetes. Add to this the
shockingly rapid escalation of dementia; One new case every 7 seconds, and
accelerating. As if that is not bad enough, dementia is now appearing in older
teenagers, and on up.
All this without mention of the No. 1 cause of death; heart
disease. A U.S. citizen dies of this every 37 seconds, and now there is a new
major killer sweeping in with the 21st century that will soon top the list;
death by prescription drugs. In the U.S. the odds of being killed by
conventional medicine are almost 2000% greater than being killed in a car
accident, and 3000% greater than being killed by a gun. It’s a crazy world!
I will not bore you with more of this, check the facts for
yourself. There are many frightening facts and figures available – frightening
because the many and varied forms of disease are out of control – all
indicating the extent of the decline in our modern health. The long term
prognosis to all this . . . it is expected to be twice as bad in 20 years! We
have reached a point where human sickness is the world’s greatest industry, as
the ruthless few exploit the gullible many. Amazingly, the greater population
seems completely unaware of this widespread degeneration in human health. Maybe
they don’t care. Perhaps they are too sick to notice.
Wake up! We need to take responsibility for our own health,
and for our own well-being. After all, it is our body!
The Half Life
Let’s look at this from another level. It is estimated that
all mammals have a life expectancy of seven times (x7) longer than it takes to
develop their physical body. A human takes 20 years to develop a physical body,
but up to 26 years to fully develop the brain. On this basis, 7 x 20 = 140
years, plus a decade or so for our full brain development. What happened? Did
God change the rules just for humans, or have we, in some strange way, been
deeply sleeping while we thought we were awake? As a species, we average
somewhere around a half life! Why is this?
Animals do not think, they live in the moment, the place of
life, of energy, of conscious intelligence. We live in our thoughts, out of the
moment, the place of the subconscious intellect. And if you dispute this,
remember that you cannot think your way into the moment, you can only think
your way out of it . . . this is what meditation is all about, the moment. The
moment is the place of a spiritually enlightened soul, living in the greater
reality. With all due respect, they perceive the world in a very different way
than does the average person.
There is no right or wrong to this. Most of the people
living in the illusion live their lives in a very admirable way. However,
people in the illusion are often self-critical, they fear and blame, feel
guilt, see the world as being in a mess, get angry . . . all the stuff that is
considered normal. Those who have left the illusion choose love, not fear, they
do not seek to blame, they take full responsibility for their lives, and they
see the beauty and perfection of the world.
Seriously folk, it is time to wake up.
The Metaphysical Reality
Another level of meaning is the fact that most people live
their entire lives in a state of illusion. Listening to a retired former Prime
Minister in a TV interview recently, I was impressed by his sincerity as he
described certain events from his political life. He deeply believed in his
reality, as would most of the people listening to him, but his world and my
world were, and are, very different. For me, his world is a fantasy, an
illusion, even if it is a very convincing one, while my world is based in a
greater metaphysical reality.
Let me explain this. We have a simple English word;
individuality. If we take a slightly different view of that word, we have
in-divided-duality. As humans, we have a tough job with this divided duality.
We are simultaneously physical/mortal, and metaphysical/immortal. To live in a
greater reality, we are required to live both aspects simultaneously. And most
people fail. We focus on, and believe in the physical and mortal aspect only.
This is tangible and obvious. Few people cross the membrane to the intangible
unseen metaphysical and immortal aspect of ourselves. It’s a pity, for our
immortal self is a giant, with the mortal a comparative pygmy. We are asleep to
this sleeping giant within. Wake up!
During my lifetime I have learned to remove the divide
between my physical and metaphysical self. I live a fairly seamless whole, with
no inner conflict. In a greater reality, the metaphysical world precedes the
physical world, yet the vast majority of people believe in, and live, as though
all life is physical. This is another illusion . . . and it does not work. This
illusion is the cause underlining the huge upsurge in human sickness. From my
reality, humanity needs to Wake up from the massive and long term illusion that
has enslaved us for so long.
We are God-Beings in denial. As a species we have not yet
learned or embraced the fact that in every moment of our lives we are creating
the content and direction of every moment of our lives. Yes, we create our
lives, every aspect of it. Our immortality spans aeons of linear time,
countless so-called lifetimes, for we are metaphysical Beings of eternity. When
we embrace this, our whole relationship with self changes, thus our whole
relationship with life changes. Many have yet to learn that our relationship
with ourselves is our relationship with life. In other words, life treats us in
the way that we treat ourselves, for we are life. Life is not an outside event
enclosing us; life is an inside event expressing outward and creating that
which we call our lives.
Having scarcely scratched the surface, I could go on and on
. . . but enough.
Hopefully, if your state of consciousness is receptive, you
may just be inspired enough by my words to know that it is time to wake up.
Stepping… Between… Realities…
Michael’s metaphysical adventures take him to the galaxy in
which we physically live – a galaxy with which we have only a remote
relationship. He metaphysically enters a black hole for an experience beyond
his wildest imaginings, encountering amazing astral worlds and meeting a
galactic Being who is a galaxy within itself.
Michael explains, “Over my lifetime I have learned that it
is possible to move into my metaphysical Light-body and access that greater
reality. I step between realities. This book is filled with my own insights
gained by metaphysically journeying into realms and realities beyond
imagination. My consciousness-expanding journey into the dynamic, living energy
we call our sun, is just one such indication of the miraculous universe in
which we live. The galaxy is not dead matter and endless space; it is filled
with consciousness, purpose, direction . . . life!”
