PEACE BEGINS WITH US ALONG WTH INSIGHT AND EMPATHY







A young Israeli boy and his Palestinian friend realize that their bond of love and friendship supersedes any cultural or religious animosity and hatred. 

 

Only the children can lead us out of this dark hole the world has dug for itself for only children are capable of seeing through the heart and can somehow sense that our perilous path towards mutual self-destruction is not their path ~ for they sense, as I know, their oneness with a Unified Field of love, joy and soul consciousness which exists not only deepest within ourselves but also beyond time and space. A Unified Field whose principle property is the universal urge to unite but more importantly, they also sense, as I know, their individual participation in this evolving loving plan: Allen L Roland, PhD

 

"There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in" Graham Greene

Many of my spiritual consultations on Skype are with people of different ethnic backgrounds and religions but they can all relate to this inner child work ~ along with the fact that they often feel that they lost a part of themselves in childhood. In many ways, their lives since then have been a quest to find that lost inner child along with their original joy, intention and purpose. When they surrender to love, through my gratitude exercises and  homework, they often rediscover their original wholeness, joy and purpose and begin to not only heal but to see through different eyes.

I personally vividly remember two such moments, as a young child, that revealed to me that I was part of something far greater than myself and that I had a part to play in this evolving loving plan,

In retrospect, my whole life has been a journey, a quest, to find an emotionally lost little boy within myself who once knew he was part of something far greater than himself, and longed to share the truths that I am now sharing with you ~ my first early childhood experience at four years old, happened while living with my beloved grandfather in Newtonville, Massachusetts with my mother and brothers.

It was where I profoundly experienced that deepest within myself was a love and uplifting joy that indelibly connected me to everything around me as well as all of nature ~ it was my first conscious awareness of a Unified Field  of love and soul consciousness that existed beyond time and space.

 

One day while playing alone in my room I heard my favorite song on the radio ~ it was Gene Autrey's "I'm Back in the Saddle Again". My inner joy was too great to contain and I felt an incredible urge to share it ~ so I turned the radio up full volume, stood on my tiptoes, opened the window and leaned out into that gorgeous New England summer day.

Immediately, an overwhelming sense of delight seemed to lift me out of myself ~ an utterly amazing feeling of knowing and awareness rose from deep within me, a feeling of incredible joy and oneness with all things around me ~ and I totally surrendered to it.

 

For a few ecstatic moments, I sensed, I knew, that I was not alone. This awesome joy lifted me out of myself and was somehow connected to all and everything I saw ~ and I was part of it!

 

At four years old, I knew ~ for a few moments ~ that I was a beloved and essential part of a loving universe ~ That deepest within me was a state of love and soul consciousness ~ I knew ~ for a few moments ~ I was in a state of love and soul consciousness that existed beyond time and space and I was part of it.

 

Two years later, when I was suddenly taken away from my grandfather, my heart closed and I checked out. Emotionally, I stopped growing and for the next 30 years that transcendent moment of soul consciousness remained buried beneath a well of grief, a mantle of psychic pain, aloneness and despair ~ it hurt too deeply to feel anything deeply. But in the midst of that initial pain, I had a vision of the Golden Gate bridge, water and houses ~ a moment in time precognitive vision that I would eventually walk into 30 years later.  It was almost as if that child  within me said " Be patient, Allen ~ you are destined to see through my eyes again and you will know when that moment happens".

 

"There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in" Graham Greene

In 1979, I had written the first draft of my Unified Field Theory, but I had not yet proven to myself that love ~ and not light ~ was the one constant of the universe.

 

I knew Einstein was correct in terms of what science could see through its limited consciousness ~ but wrong in terms of what can be perceived and experienced from the standpoint of the soul, or the within of things.

 

It was obvious to me that extra-sensory or paranormal events illustrated a different relation to time and space.

 

For example, in scientific terms, precognition (the perception of a future event before it occurs) is considered possible ~ but it would mean that signals or information of some kind could travel backward in time, which according to special relativity, would be particles going faster than light.

 

But with the acceptance of the existence of the Unified Field of Love ~ a psychic energy field within which time and space do not exist ~ the effect would be the same but the cause would be due to forces beyond the physical realm.

 

As such, precognition would fit comfortably into the established physics and would also explain why it is experienced mainly between people who have deep loving connections such as lovers, mates and mothers and their children.

 

So in 1979, I knew that this Unified Field of love was the one constant of the universe, but I had no direct experience of it as existing beyond time and space and until I did, it could only be a theory.

 

In 1987, I finally had finally reached a place in my personal growth and journey through fear ~ where I had pulled an internal switch and declared that "I will never say no to myself again or allow myself to be controlled by fear".

 

It was from that same fearless place of self-acceptance in 1987, while attending a Life spring advanced seminar in San Francisco, that I crossed Bay Street in north San Francisco and walked into Fort Mason park, looked to my left and there it was ~ the scene I saw is the very picture that appears on the back cover flap of my book ~ Radical therapy, Surrender to love And Heal Yourself in Seven Sessions (not seven years).








 



 








Just as becoming a Navy Fighter pilot was an important part of my destiny and brought me to the San Francisco Bay area ~ the precognitive vision of the Golden Gate Bridge was a door that was opened to me as a young child and not only let the future in but proved to me that the love for my grandfather not only existed beyond time and space but was also the sole constant of the universe.


 

 

I have had many personal experiences of the sensory sensation of being in the Unified Field of love and soul consciousness that exists not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears but this one stands out ~ almost crashing after being launched at night off the USS Ranger on the South China sea in 1960~ for it was a matter of life and death and it became the foundation of my belief in this state of consciousness that lies beneath our deepest fears.  

















Something was wrong! I was not gaining airspeed! The plane was shaking and obviously close to stalling speed and I was rapidly losing altitude.

Only seconds away from crashing I felt myself being physically crushed by fear and the enormity of my desperate situation. I was going to die! I fought to stay airborne. In a state of total fear and panic I frantically reviewed my only options. Crash, go down with the plane… eject and hope to stay alive long enough in the icy water and be picked up by the carrier which would have to be within 3 minutes. The stall horn was now blaring! I was only 50 feet over the water and seconds away from crashing and I felt myself being completely crushed into the seat by my fear ~  so I exercised my final option ~  I fully surrendered to that moment!

I let myself be seemingly crushed by fear and in that stillness of complete surrender I became totally clear, devoid of fear and panic and seemingly beyond time and space ~ the longest split second I have ever experienced!

In that timeless second of total surrender and fearless clarity, I instantly noticed that the gear landing light was still on and that I had obviously not raised it after takeoff ~ the plane was carrying too much drag to gain altitude and airspeed and I calmly raised the gear and regained airspeed and altitude.

It was only years later, while experiencing  a re-birthing exercise, did I connect that crushing feeling I had experienced that night on the South China Sea for it was indeed my original birth trauma and I had exercised the same option I did on that fearful night as a pilot 28 years later ~ I totally surrendered, from a place of numbing fear, and was born two minutes before my twin. I still vividly remember the three lights over the birthing table as I opened my fear closed eyes at the Boston Lying In Hospital on the morning of January 18, 1934."     See The Final Option ~ http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/05/11/the-final-option/


"There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in" Graham Greene


But I digress, I knew when I walked into Fort Mason Park in 1987 and looked to my left ~ that it was the exact vision I saw as a child ~ because of the way the light was reflecting off the bay as well as  the houses off the Marina on the left. Of course, the Golden Gate Bridge was right in the middle ~ just as I saw it as a child!

Immediately bursting into tears, I ran up the grassy knoll overlooking a view of the bridge and let myself fully surrender to the moment ~ to that vision I had experienced  more than 40 years before ~ I was beside myself with joy, delight, awe and wonder!

 

I realized that I had finally found the proof for my Unified Field ~ and it was always within my own consciousness ~ all I had to do is say Yes to myself and not be controlled by fear.

That six year old little boy had obviously been in a state of soul consciousness, that exists beyond time and space, and before closing his heart, he let me know exactly where I would be when I would be seeing through his eyes again ~ and again, the event I was experiencing now had seemingly gone backwards in time.

 

This was my proof that there was no time and space within this state of consciousness and that love was indeed the sole constant of the universe!

 

I also deeply knew I was in sync with my destiny and now ready to fully own this truth as well as share and demonstrate it with my work ~ which I have done for over 40 years and within a month was sharing it as a keynote speaker at the American Holistic Associations annual meeting in Seattle, Washington and the title of my talk was the Unified Field.

 

All my clients have access to these self-healing steps and have read this story in my updated Kindle Book RADICAL THERAPY, SURRENDER TO LOVE AND HEAL YOURSELF IN SEVEN  SESSIONS (not seven years). Here is the Kindle link http://www.amazon.com/Radical-Therapy-Surrender-Yourself-Sessions-ebook/dp/B00JGE5VQE

And here's a link to the YouTube Skype sessions of the self-healing process I teach and coach ~ Watch, in the first 20 minutes of session five, how Marina conquers her deepest fear by going through them as she demonstrates that beneath her pain and fear is a boundless joy ~ the same joy I felt that day in 1987. See video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r12MoNnwPKg&feature=youtu.be

 

 

So my whole lifetime narrative has indeed been a subconscious Quest to find that little boy and empower him to feel that deeply again and own and share his joyful truth with the world ~ which I was always meant to share.

In essence, the psychic pain of being seemingly separated from love is so great that emotionally we stop growing and our lives become a quest to recreate that pain in a subconscious attempt to go beneath that pain and reunite with our original state of wholeness and joy as well as intention and purpose.

As such, all of our love relationships are steps on this quest until we finally embrace the grand prize or Holy Grail ~ our authentic self and our part in a universal loving plan ~ the Unified Field .

It was Teilhard who wrote in his last unpublished work, LE CHRISTIQUE ( The promised land ) cid:image002.gif@01CCFD04.70EE8C80of the inevitable consequences when this truth appears ; "sooner or later there will be a chain reaction ~ for the truth has to appear only once, in one single mind, for it to be impossible for anything ever to prevent it from spreading universally and setting everything ablaze."

 

Thus, we are rapidly reaching the point where psychology, science and religion are all drawing closer to this great truth.

Let me elaborate on that by using the findings of the recent Nobel Prize winning researchers , Politzer, Gross and Wilczek, to prove my point. They won the 2004 Nobel prize in physics for their studies of the "strong Force" ~ the powerful and mysterious energy that holds the nuclei of atoms together .

They explained the mystifying qualities of the strong force, which holds together the fundamental building blocks of nature, called QUARKS, to form protons and neutrons ~ two of the basic components of atoms.

Now, this is when it gets interesting.


Independently, they developed the theory and the mathematical equations to show that Quarks are held together by the strong force which, unlike any other force in the universe, gets stronger as the quarks get farther apart ~ a concept now known as "Asymptotic Freedom".

The simplest analogy is to a rubber band encircling two objects. When the objects are close together, the rubber band fits loosely. But as they are drawn apart, the rubber band stretches, trying to pull them back together.

But I would now add that Asymptotic Freedom exists not only in the quantum world of the atom but also in the world of planets and galaxies ~ and is even more compelling evidence of our innate urge to unite, which is the principle property of the Unified Field .

 

In the February 2007 issue of Scientific American, Christopher Conselice writes of THE UNIVERSE'S INVISIBLE HAND ~ DARK ENERGY. His description of dark energy in space is exactly the same as how Asymptotic Freedom is described in the quantum world of the atom:

"Dark Energy does more than hurry along the expansion of the universe . It has a strangle hold on the shape and spacing of galaxies. Dark Energy, unlike matter, does not clump in some places more than others; by its very nature, it is spread smoothly everywhere. Dark energy links everything together "

Now, here is my take on these findings as applied to my Unified Field of Love and Soul Consciousness.

The strong force in the atom is also the urge to unite which is the principle property of my Unified Field. It is the same urge to unite that Einstein found when he discovered that photons ( light particles ) have a tendency to travel together versus act randomly ~ which eventually led to the discovery of the laser.

 






Strong Force in Atom

It is also the same urge to unite that Teilhard de Chardin speaks of when he wrote ~ If there were no real propensity to unite, even at a prodigiously rudimentary level, indeed, in the molecule itself ~ it would be physically impossible for love to appear higher up in the ' humanized ' or human form .

It is also the same urge to unite that loved ones feel when they are separated from each other ~ and the further apart the stronger the pull to be back together. Since I'm a twin, I can really relate to this urge to unite when I was sometimes separated from my twin in early childhood and now, since he died two years ago, he has returned to this Unified Field of love and soul consciousness and is one of my guardian angels.

Asymptotic Freedom, the quantum strong force urge to unite, aka the Unified Field, not only exists within the atom but also exists in space as Dark Energy thus uniting the quantum world of the atom with the outer physical world of gravity, planets and galaxies (the Microcosm and the Macrocosm).

This would also seemingly explain how the urge to unite would increase as the Universe continues to expand  (much like a rubber band).

As such, it is a force that is stronger than Gravity !

Thus, the one constant of the universe would no longer be light at 186,000 miles per second for even light particles (photons) are subject to this force field of love ~ this driving propensity to unite which exists not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears and within the atom itself as Asymptotic Freedom.

This would also explain why mankind is in the process of uniting while we seemingly are dividing and pulling away from each other.

 

My after death experience with my Mother when she passed on in 1987, shortly after reading my AHMA paper on the Unified Field, as well as my after death experience with my twin brother after he passed a few years ago, are definitive proof to me that they are now in the Unified Field ~ a state of soul consciousness that exists beyond time and space and can no longer be called a theory but is instead a proven reality.  Her joyful loving words to me during that experience are a continuing affirmation of my work ~ "Allen, I Know, Allen I Know "   




And finally, on an individual level, it would explain the evolutionary power of love, altruism and social cooperation ~ and how mankind can no longer resist its innate pull and urge to unite versus fragment and separate.

 

It was the great Egyptian writer Mahfouz who wrote " When the heart achieves its desire, you shall transcend time and space " and the heart's desire, I would maintain and have now lived, is to return to its original source of love, joy and soul consciousness ~ the Unified Field which, indeed, transcends time and space.

 

Once again, that young Israeli boy and his Palestinian friend pictured above most certainly deeply feel that their bond of love and friendship supersedes any cultural and religious animosity and hatred that permeates their world ~ and I can almost hear them tell each other "Peace Begins with Us".  Which is precisely true for the Apartheid state of Palestine still exists as a global open sore of Israeli injustice, repression and human rights violations which the world continues to ignore.

 

 

"If there were no real propensity to unite, even at a prodigiously rudimentary level, indeed, in the molecule itself, it would be physically impossible for love to appear higher up in the 'hominized' or human form": Teilhard de Chardin, The phenomenon of Man.

AMERICA APPROACHES SPIRITUAL DEATH / CORNEL WEST









Make no mistake about my words, America is fast approaching a spiritual death with the election of Donald Trump and no one describes the causes and proportions of this eminent spiritual blackout better than teacher and philosopher, Cornel West. President Obama has, in essence, put an African-American face on American neoliberal Imperialism and Cornel describes our spiritual death throes with a knowing candor and honesty: Allen L Roland, PhD

 

"We may fight against what is wrong, but if we allow ourselves to hate, that is to insure our spiritual defeat and our likeness to what  we hate." George William Russell



 Four years ago, I wrote that the average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been two hundred years and that these nations have progressed through a nine stage sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacence to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependency back again into bondage. See VT Article ~ http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/03/19/the-nine-stages-of-civilization-were-in-the-seventh-apathy/

 

As Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General, once correctly said”We’re not a democracy. It’s a terrible misunderstanding and a slander to the idea of democracy to call us that. In reality, we’re a plutocracy: a government by the wealthy.” 

 

In our present Plutocracy, we made the transition last year from complacency to national apathy ~ but with the passage and implementation of Obamacare, along with an increasingly militarized surveillance state, we have now entered stage eight, Dependence on the state ~ which will soon be followed with militarized Bondage by the state and eventually spiritual death.

 

Donald Trump's campaign vow to register Muslims is a frightening echo of the shameful treatment of Japanese-American citizens during World War II.

 

The British Economist magazine wrote in a worried editorial that with the fall of the Berlin Wall, “history was said to have ended,” bringing with it the final triumph of “liberal democracy.” With Trump’s victory, however, “that illusion was shattered. History is back ~ with a vengeance.” The election is a “hammer blow both to the norms that underpin politics in the United States and also to America’s role as the world’s pre-eminent power.”

 

We are now ironically the Germans in the 1930's as they slowly viewed their freedoms being taken away with each new fear based edict and political appointment or announcement from their newly appointed Chancellor, Adolf Hitler.  They could feel the ground slowly shift beneath them and they became spiritually numb. They silently watched in disbelief and shock as these events rapidly unfolded ~ as we are now ~ and as they always do before spiritual death.


Following the Reichstag fire, the Nazis began to suspend civil liberties and eliminate political opposition. The Communists were excluded from the Reichstag. At the March 1933 elections, again no single party secured a majority. Hitler required the vote of the Centre Party and Conservatives in the Reichstag to obtain the powers he desired. He called on Reichstag members to vote for the Enabling Act on 24 March 1933. Hitler was granted plenary powers "temporarily" by the passage of the Act . The law gave him the freedom to act without parliamentary consent and even without constitutional limitations.


Employing his characteristic mix of negotiation and intimidation, Hitler offered the possibility of friendly co-operation, promising not to threaten the Reichstag, the President, the States or the Churches if granted the emergency powers. With Nazi paramilitary encircling the building, he said: "It is for you, gentlemen of the Reichstag to decide between war and peace".

The Centre Party, having obtained promises of non-interference in religion, joined with conservatives in voting for the Act (only the Social Democrats voted against).


The Act allowed Hitler and his Cabinet to rule by emergency decree for four years, though Hindenburg remained President. Hitler immediately set about abolishing the powers of the states and the existence of non-Nazi political parties and organizations. Non-Nazi parties were formally outlawed on 14 July, and the Reichstag abdicated its democratic responsibilities.



 





Adolf Hitler addressing the Reichstag on 23 March 1933. Seeking assent to the Enabling Act, Hitler offered the possibility of friendly co-operation, promising not to threaten the Reichstag, the President, the States or the Churches if granted the emergency powers

 

All we need for a similar unfolding of events at present is another false flag event, similar to 9/11, and away we go. But there are many other voices sounding the alarm, besides myself, and one of them is Cornel West.

 



 












Cornel West / 2016

 

Cornel Ronald West (born June 2, 1953) is an American philosopher, academic, social activist, author, public intellectual, and prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

The bulk of West's work focuses on the role of race, gender, and class in American society and the means by which people act and react to their "radical conditionedness." West draws intellectual contributions from multiple traditions, including Christianity, the black church, Marxism, neopragmatism, and transcendentalism. Among his most influential books are Race Matters (1994) and Democracy Matters (2004).


On  November third ,2016, West wrote an opinion piece for the Boston Globe entitled Spiritual Blackout in America: Election 2016 ~ in which he brilliantly builds on the themes of Plato, King and others as he describes our impending spiritual blackout and demise;


"The most frightening feature of the civic melancholia in present-day America is the relative collapse of integrity, honesty, and decency ~ an undeniable spiritual blackout of grand proportions.


The sad spectacle of the presidential election is no surprise. Rather, the ecofascist catastrophe called Donald Trump and the neoliberal disaster named Hillary Clinton are predictable symbols of our spiritual blackout.


Trump dislodged an inert conservative establishment by unleashing an ugly contempt for liberal elites and vulnerable citizens of color ~ and the mainstream media followed every performance (even his tweets!) for financial gain.


Clinton laid bare a dishonest liberal establishment that was unfair to Bernie Sanders and obsessed with winning at any cost ~ and the mainstream media selectively weighed in for pecuniary ends.

In short, the rule of Big Money and its attendant culture of cupidity and mendacity have led to our grand moment of spiritual blackout.


The founder of Western philosophy, Plato, foresaw this scenario. In “The Republic” ~ history’s most profound critique of democratic regimes ~ Plato argues that democracies produce citizens of unruly passion and pervasive ignorance, manipulated by greedy elites and mendacious politicians. The result is tyranny ~ the rule of a strong
man driven by appetites, corruption, and secrecy.


There is no doubt that Trump meets this description more so than Clinton. Yet neoliberals like Clinton bear some responsibility for the anger and anguish of Trump’s followers ~ especially those white male working and middle-class citizens who have been devastated by neoliberal economic policies of deregulation, NAFTA, and Wall Street protection.


The vicious xenophobia toward women, Mexicans, the disabled, gays, Muslims, Jews, and blacks are the sole fault of the Trump campaign. Yet the rule of Big Money in capitalist USA downplays the catastrophic effects of global warming, of poverty, and of drones killing innocent people ~ all the common ground of Trump and Clinton.


For over a century, the best response to Plato’s critique of democracy has been John Dewey’s claim that precious and fragile democratic experiments must put a premium on democratic statecraft (public accountability, protection of rights and liberties, as well as personal responsibility, embedded in a fair rule of law) and especially on democratic soul craft (integrity, empathy, and a mature sense of history).


For Plato, democratic regimes collapse owing to the slavish souls of citizens driven by hedonism and narcissism, mendacity and venality. Dewey replies that this kind of spiritual blackout can be overcome by robust democratic education and courageous exemplars grounded in the spread of critical intelligence, moral compassion, and historical humility. The 2016 election presents a dangerous question as to whether Dewey’s challenge to Plato’s critique can be met.

Yet Clinton is not a strong agent for Dewey’s response. There is no doubt that if she becomes the first woman president of the United States ~ though I prefer Jill Stein, of the Green Party ~ Clinton will be smart, even brilliant, in office.


But like her predecessor, Barack Obama, she promotes the same neoliberal policies that increase inequality and racial polarization that will produce the next Trump.


More important, she embraces Trump-like figures abroad, be they in Saudi Arabia, Honduras, Israel, or Syria ~ figures of ugly xenophobia and militaristic policies. The same self-righteous neoliberal soul craft of smartness, dollars, and bombs lands us even deeper in our spiritual blackout.


Instead we need a democratic soul craft of wisdom, justice, and peace ~ the dreams of courageous freedom fighters like Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Joshua Herschel, Edward Said, and Dorothy Day.


These dreams now lie dormant at this bleak moment, but spiritual and democratic awakenings are afoot among the ripe ones, and especially those in the younger generation."



 

 

Speaking for the younger generation, although a senior member of an older generation ~ when we collectively surrender to the universal love that is deepest within ourselves and take full responsibility for this love in our actions with one another and the planet ~ we will finally realize that we have never been alone in the Universe and that we are all one.

 

And as we do this, one by one, we will experience, planet wide, a Unified Field of love and soul consciousness which exists not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears and whose principle property is the universal urge or propensity to unite ~ and we all have a part to play in this spiritual transformation and evolution.

 

 

"If there were no real propensity to unite, even at a prodigiously rudimentary level, indeed, in the molecule itself, it would be physically impossible for love to appear higher up in the 'hominized' or human form": Teilhard de Chardin, The phenomenon of Man.
