Connecting in a pandemic age

Hello, You!

My soul is being dragged kicking and screaming from the sweet dream of Life As I Knew It into a new, yet eternal, reality. The common phrase “social distancing“ really means physical distancing. There’s no reason that physical distance must now or ever correlate to social distance. I have made social contact with persons whose bodies have been long dead, yet whose souls exist in the eternal now, in which “time and distance are out of place” (Barry, et al., “Feeling Gravitys Pull”, Fables of the Reconstruction, IRS Records, 1985). Therefore, I am not afraid of masks, of air-fives, or even of purely electronic interaction. What I would prefer, though, is conscious contact with you via the Innernet, as I like to call it: the network of subtle energy that connects everything that is, might have been, and could be. I believe it exists, and that we surf it every time we dream or even daydream. Contacting you via this Innernet is as easy as calling you to mind and contemplating what makes you unique to me.

What is unique to you about me? My name, Jesse Demian Sierke, may be. So is my unusual sense that letters of the alphabet have genders (and not just two). My DNA, fingerprints, and dental pattern make me forensically unique, but what makes me intrinsically me and no one else? Perhaps you know enough of this that, should my consciousness reach through the Innernet to touch yours, you won’t recoil in fear of a stranger, but will rejoice in the presence of a friend.

Resurrection as reawakening of a continuously-incarnating soul

The Judeo-Christian concept of resurrection melds with the idea of transmigration of the soul when seen in the light of metaphysical, rather than physical, reality. Who are we as a living body/soul entity? Who have we been when we had other bodies? The idea of Gabriel blowing his horn and bringing the dead back to life makes sense when it's seen as the mass transformation of consciousness toward the eternal from the mundane, toward the universal from the individual. What if it happened to everyone in the world all at once? What impacts might it have on the world as we know it?

Welcome to the Fifth Age

Like the quintessence, the fifth element of material and spiritual composition, the fifth age brings together the four previous ages into a synergy that is greater than the sum of its predecessors. We combine varying approaches and methods to gain insight into what the future will hold, including science, history, spirituality, alchemy, and primitive visionary journeying. Our intention is to apply what we learn in the context of a rapidly transforming milieu, a paradigm shift of consciousness which we believe has been taking shape for some time now. This forum can serve as a place where those who are uncertain, but optimistic, about the future of our world may build a network and a community while the means to do so still exists.

Namaste. In Lak'esh.
I honor the Divine within you. I am another you.
