About the Author: Bruce Lindsay

Bruce Lindsay is a geologist who has spent over forty years doing field work for research and conservation. Before he could even read he would spend hours poring over books on natural history. Over the years he has witnessed the destruction of nature and realizes that we are now in the Six Extinction. He understands, all too well, the driver of this extinction being human greed and stupidity justified by the so called "Dooms Day" cult of fundamentalist Christianity because he used to be one. He now uses his knowledge of scripture to refute fundamentalist Christianity and its hatred of nature. He uses science and psychology to present a case that science now has the basis for an intelligent spirituality.

    In Romans 7:15, the Apostle Paul wrote, "For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that I do not; but what I hate, that do I." Many people have pondered over these verses, but everyone who has tried to break a bad habit knows exactly what he's talking about. There seems to be a part of us that knows what we should do, but that part just gets swept away when making decisions in our everyday lives. Why do these contradictions exist within ourselves? The psychology of Carl G. Jung provides some answers.

    Some people are highly devotional because it is scary having one's paradigm shattered. This is to be exposed to the chaos of one’s own mind (the devil!). It is much easier to cling to the established artifacts of one’s own thinking then to fall into the pit of chaos. Most people would rather die than admit that the belief system/paradigm that they have carried most or all their life is wrong in spite of proof of error time and time again.

    First of all, applying the book of Revelation (BOR) to current events is nothing short of spectacular speculation and hindsight. But, it is amazing that it fits so well in our current time.

    Our connection to, and experience of, higher dimensions is experienced as imagination, intuition, and desires. A good story can make Sapiens accomplish amazing things by drawing upon our higher mental capacities

    This is what the Book of Revelation is really about. It's not about the end of the world, as such. It's about the destruction of the feudalistic, repressive, economic monolith which it calls “Babylon the Great”.

    I think these kind of stories are like haikus or koans that are meant to shake us up with paradox and make us realize and/or remember that words are very limiting and they cannot convey the multidimensional complex reality we live in.

    The idea of a theocracy was despised by the founding fathers of America as the ruinous combination of kings and religion in the history of Europe demonstrated. A king is basically a form of theocracy in that kings are supposedly placed there by God and they all claimed to be so! Caesar claimed not only to be placed by God but he was an embodiment of God. But, Jesus said, "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar and give unto God what is God's".

    The idea of Adam and Eve as representing consciousness and unconsciousness, as discussed in the Adam and Eve essays Part 1 and 2, was not neglected in later writings of the Bible. It was repeated again and again. For example, in the "begetting" chapters of Genesis we see an interesting pattern. It's written that many sons and daughters were begotten but only certain ones are mentioned by name.(Gen. 4:17-5:32) This has metaphorical meaning and relates to the three states of being, the three types of consciousness, and reincarnation. The names and the numbers in these "begetting" chapters are a treasure house of Cabalistic information but is beyond the scope of this essay and my capabilities.

    Why did God forbid Adam to have knowledge by forbidding him to eat of the Tree of Knowledge? The answer is, God did not forbid Adam to have knowledge, he/she was just pointing out the repercussions of having it. There are, indeed, serious consequences to having knowledge.

    For thousands of years the Adam and Eve story has dominated the lives of billions of people. Two small chapters! How is this even possible? With today's social media we can see how an idea, no matter how ludicrous or absurd, can spawn and flourish in a matter of days resulting in riots and mass social upheaval. The same process worked thousands of years ago over longer periods of time but with the same net result. In many ways the old methods were more effective because they were backed up by legions of sword bearing devotees and enthusiasts or people just trying to make a buck.

    So, let me see if I can summarize in a few words what thousands of books and articles have been written about over decades costing untold billions in research grants on phenomena taking fifteen billion years to happen after the "Big Bang". The result of such research perhaps resulting in the end of civilization in the big "dang!" (nuclear war).
