DEATH IS A SAILING SHIP WHICH WILL ALSO BE WELCOMED ON ANOTHER SHORE








Since I have seen my mother when she reached through the curtain and touched me in an after-death experience in 1987 as well as my deceased twin brother two years ago when he intervened and saved my life on Highway 4. I am aware that my grandfather is still very much alive in my heart and will eventually be welcoming me home to a safe harbor with his soft heart and warm embrace ~ for those who we love deeply become part of us forever: Allen L Roland, PhD  

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget. " - Arundhati Roy


The Sailing Ship   by Charles Henry Brent



"What is dying?
I am standing on the seashore.
A ship sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.
She is an object and I stand watching her
Till at last she fades from the horizon,
And someone at my side says, “She is gone!” Gone where?
Gone from my sight, that is all;
She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her,
And just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her;
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “She is gone”,
There are others who are watching her coming,
And other voices take up a glad shout,
“There she comes”
~ and that is dying."

My enclosed photo of my beloved grandfather joyously awaits watching the horizon for my eventual approaching sail as well as with my deceased mother and my late twin brother who cannot barely contain his excitement ~ "There he comes"

The thread of a Unified Field of love and soul consciousness lies not only beyond time and space ~ but is also beneath our deepest fears ~ and when our heart achieves its desire ~ we shall transcend time and space as William Blake indeed demonstrated by singing songs to his wife at his passage.














My grandfather, Joseph Allen Bryant

“And we are put on this earth a little space that we might learn to bear the beams of love”  ~ William Blake

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.

 

Gene Autrey's Back in the Saddle again, 1939 ~ YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80NoPLp-Zl0

 

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.

LOOKING FOR GOD / WITHIN THE KINGDOM OF RELIGIOUS CONFUSION ~ BOOK REVIEW


















A layman's odyssey every 'open-minded' Atheist, Jew, Christian, Muslim, Agnostic or Spiritual seeker must read!

Art Schade's tour de force work of creative fiction which focuses on looking for God in a world of religious confusion brought me face to face with how differently, regardless of religion, we all interpret God in a time of crisis ~ and yet how similar many of these interpretations seem to appear in regards to a God of love, empathy and compassion: Allen L Roland, PhD

 



Art Schade / Author

 

Art Schade is a Marine and Vietnam combat Veteran, ~ with over 28 successful years in corporate executive marketing, business development and sales with IBM. Art retired early, determined to write about two questions that had haunted him since Vietnam - 'how to help myself and others break the stigma of PTSD,' and 'why a loving God allows the atrocities and barbaric actions of war?'

 

In this dramatic tour de force, Schade recreates the tragic loss of his marine buddies by creating his fictionalized daughter Jessica being killed in an automobile accident before his horrified and anguished eyes;

 

" Where is God " he screamed as he cradled her tangled lifeless body in his arms. " Where is God " he demanded.

 

"It was the same plea he shouted decades before on the battlefields of Vietnam, when he held the dead or mutilated bodies of brother marines.

" Where is God ? " He sobbingly repeated, not exactly expecting an answer.

 

He suddenly heard a voice behind him ~ a stranger hoping to comfort him said, " She is with God," ~ Jacob did not respond, as he continued to stare down at his beloved daughter Jessica.

" How the hell do you know she is with God ~ why did God take her in the first place? She should be with me " ~ Jacob screamed.

 

The stranger ignored Jacob's anger, and bent down and wrapped his strong arms tenderly around both of them tearfully embracing them until the police and ambulance arrived.

 

 

Devastated by his young daughter's tragic death, Jacob is determined to find God to ask Him why He allowed this tragedy to occur. No longer sure where to find Him, or if God truly exists, Jacob travels through the 'Ancient Gates of Abraham' to wander across the contradictory and prejudiced roads within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion.

 

Repeatedly challenged to remain open-minded he engages religious leaders, devout followers, agnostics and atheists along passages as 'Born again Street', 'Fundamentalist Drive', 'Junction of the Majority', 'Path of Disbelief', and many more, in commonsense conversations to understand why their philosophy alone will lead him to God, or prove God's non-existence.

 

Yet the further he travels the more confused he becomes, and it is not until his arduous journey nears its end that he recognizes a culminating revelation - an insight he was not expecting to unearth."

 

                                                                           *

We believe God transcends all time, is always among us and knows all things past, present and future ~ but was it possible that the stranger who comforted Jacob in his anguish over the loss of his daughter and wrapped his strong arms tenderly around both of them tearfully embracing them until the police and ambulance arrived was actually a manifestation of God.

 

And Jacobs sudden realization that he had never thanked that stranger was an indication that the God he was fervently searching for was always deepest within himself ~ for god only reveals itself to a grateful heart.

 

A fact I have proved and demonstrated in my work over the past 45 years ~ particularly with Combat Veterans with PTSD and in my book RADICAL THERAPY, SURRENDER TO LOVE AND HEAL YOURSELF IN SEVEN  SESSIONS (not seven years).

 

The key to the Kingdom of Religious confusion is gratitude and self-forgiveness and Arthur Schade's book is an ambitious step toward the ultimate realization that the God we are all seemingly seeking resides within ourselves ~ within a Unified Field of love, joy and soul consciousness which resides not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears ~ as it most certainly did within the stranger who was there for Jacob and his daughter Jessica.

 

I have been that empathetic stranger many times in my work with combat Veterans with PTSD ~ for example, in one our Band of Brothers groups about a year ago, one of our Vietnam Veterans had recently lost his beloved aunt and was beside himself in grief.  

 

I purposely sat next to him consoling him but also mentioned that he should celebrate the great gift his aunt was in his life and remember all the wonderful things about her versus grieving her. If he indeed began to celebrate her from a place of celebration and joy, reminding her that she still lived in his heart ~ she would make her presence known to him via a dream or vision and let him know that she was now at peace and still loved him deeply ~ much as my late mother did with me, the night she died in 1987. See  http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/05/12/memories-of-my-mom/

 

And that is precisely what happened to him for within two weeks, he told us about a recent vivid dream where she told him that she was now at peace and reminded him that she will always be living in his heart. He was now at peace himself and reflected that inner joy and inner peace of knowing that he is still loved.

 

That incident was a wonderful reminder that those who we love deeply become part of us forever ~ for they are now in a Unified Field of love and soul consciousness that exists beyond time and space ~ just as my mother, grandfather and late twin will always live in my heart forever. 

 

But that incident could also be interpreted as blasphemous or the work of the devil by the religious right ~ as has been mentioned to me many times.

 

I have also been Jacob ~ broken by unforeseen events to the point of hopelessness and despair and at just the right moment, a stranger appeared, helped me and took me by the hand and said "Everything is going to be all right " and I knew God had intervened much as Jacobs stranger.

 

But I also later sought that stranger out and thanked him for being there for me which is why this great truth has been revealed to me. For to me, God is love, an evolutionary process with which we all participate as co-creators.

 

I am also indebted to Arthur Schade for this important informative and moving book as well as providing a much needed reminder that we no longer have to look outside for God, for God lies deepest within ourselves and will only reveal itself to a grateful heart.

 

Read Schade's spiritual journey and discover for yourself your God within the kingdom of Religious Confusion ~ and celebrate it as I am now celebrating it with you.  

 

"We are not human beings learning how to be spiritual, we are spiritual beings learning how to be human." Teilhard de Chardin
