Founder, Dr. Masters’ Weekly Mystical Insights

Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc.

We are many in one.

When the psalmist praised God, proclaiming himself “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139), he alluded to the mysteries of our beingness that mystics through the ages have discovered—that the reality of who and what we are is complex. Indeed, every human being is a microcosm of the macrocosmic Universe, both physical and nonphysical.

How complex is a person’s state of beingness? If a person had no idea of the inner physiology of the human body and suddenly viewed it for the first time, most assuredly there would be a sense of amazement. Consider then that there are still other levels of a person’s state of beingness that are just as complex, if not far more so.

From traditional and fundamentalist dogma to metaphysical speculations, the basic belief has been that the Power of God can intervene in human affairs to somehow provide people with what they believe they need. A very large percentage of any organized or even non-organized religion has had such a belief as the foundation of its existence. In the most basic of terms, most human beings are attracted to some form of religion based on what they believe the religion can do for them in their present physical lives and as some assurance of a good experience in any afterlife. In effect, the religion—at least in a follower’s mind—acts as an intermediary between the follower and God. Reduced to its simplest description, people become part of a religion with the thought that through the religion of their choice, God will grant them their desires or prayers in this life and the afterlife.

When humans are very young, they look up to their physical parents to supply their needs. When they become adults—at least numbered in physical years—they turn to God to take over for their physical parents to supply their needs during their physical lifetime and in the life beyond the physical. In traditional religion God is prayed to—that is, asked, pleaded with, or begged—for something to be granted.

There is nothing so ignorant as the personal ego in humans that believes it knows something or anything about the reality of life.

The personal ego is of itself a figment of the imagination built on limited physical sense perceptions that it exists or even has any reality. How can anything that is of itself a non-reality even begin to attempt to grasp the reality of what life really is, both on a Universal scale and miniaturized down to an individual?

A person remembers the past and wonders about the future. An older person thinks how quickly time has passed, and that it seemed just yesterday—perhaps even a moment ago—that they were as young as the youth they see around them.

Yes, as the expression goes, time seems to “fly by”—but does it? On the other hand, people describing some great moment of inspiration have said or written that it was as if “time stood still.”
