Regarding A Thousand Suns, beyond thinking about benefits or hindrances, I seek to know how indigenous ways of living, values, spiritual practices, connections with nature, can survive the impact of encroaching industrialization. Is it possible to live in many worlds at the same time, to get the benefits of different knowledge systems without sacrificing one for another? Perhaps in this age, we are better equipped to help foster this through a higher consciousness and a respect for the different ways of living and of reaching oneness with God. Since we are all one in God, and God seeks to know himself through us, maintaining the diversity of expressions of our beingness through all cultures is an important goal. Yet, we learn in the film A Thousand Suns that this is a difficult undertaking. There is not an easy answer. Love and respect for other ways of being seem to be a key.
As I was typing this, I listened to a rendition of Berlioz’ oratorio from the Childhood of Christ that Omraam mentioned on page 351. As he stated, we can feel the presence of diaphanous beings in this music.
