TAKING A STAND FOR A GREAT TRUTH


As our civil liberties slowly erode with a corporate state under control of the Military/Industrial complex and global elite ~ that want war ~ there will come a time when we all must take a stand for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause or some great truth ~ The Unified Field is my great truth for which I take this peaceful stand: Allen L Roland, PhD

 

"Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them for it alone takes them and joins them to what is deepest within themselves"  Teilhard de Chardin, The Phenomenon of Man

 

 I could literally feel love and joy leap from my heart toward my beloved Grandfather as a young child ~ I knew and deeply felt a great truth and a few years later I knew my destiny would take me to the West Coast where I would eventually live my dreams of not only being a Navy Interceptor Carrier pilot and in the process conquering the speed of sound but eventually surpass the speed of light by surrendering to love and conquering fear in the process.

 

Then it was the slow process of writing my Unified Field Theory and eventually proving to myself and my clients that this Unified Field of love and soul consciousness lies not only the sole constant of the universe but also this joyous bliss lies beneath our deepest pain and fear. The lifeblood of this universal Unified field is gratitude ~ for this God of love only reveals itself to a grateful heart.

 

Here are the three Tenets of the Unified Field ~ all of which I have proved in my life and through my work with thousands of clients.

 



Finding the Unified Field was an act of surrender. Owning and proving it has been an act of courage. Initially, it was surrendering to and embracing an alone little boy within me who always knew this truth. Then it was a slow process of finding the courage to stand alone, own my truth, and speak it, regardless of the risks.


Let me make this clear - every tenet of my Unified Field is based on my own personal experience and my experience with my clients. Which is why it took eight years for me to fully prove it and which is why I no longer call it a theory.

What follows are the three basic tenets of the Unified Field.


Tenet One


The basic underlying force of the universe is a psychic energy field of universal love, within which gravitational and electromagnetic fields, the strong and weak forces in the atom, and all other forces of nature, including time and space, are merely conditions of state. Within this psychic realm of love, paranormal events such as clairvoyance, telepathy, precognition and near-death experiences are also conditions of state.


The principal property of this field of love is its propensity to unite, complete and fulfill all living beings within a constantly evolving loving plan.


This field of love is the absolute constant of the universe in that within it, time and space do not exist. Thus, we are instantly joined with the past, present and future of a universe which is in the process of uniting, completing and fulfilling itself.


Tenet Two


The consciousness of the observer is the determining factor in being able to perceive the Unified Field, and the depth of one's sensory experience is what determines this consciousness.


In that regard, our most profound sensory experience is the total surrender to what is deepest within ourselves, that is, the surrender to love and a joyful state of soul consciousness - which is the awareness of an evolving loving plan and the taking of responsibility for one's function within that plan.


The Unified Field is therefore a state of soul consciousness. That state which limits or denies our perception of the Unified Field is ego consciousness.


Tenet Three


It would appear that the pain of not feeling loved for oneself and being seemingly separated from our original state of soul consciousness and the Unified Field is of such deep psychic proportions that, early in childhood, processes are triggered in the hypothalamus which result in a left brain imbalance and dominance as well as the denial, mistrust and forgetting of our connection to the Unified Field and the love and joy and a state of soul consciousness deepest within us.

   
It is from this dark tunnel of pain, aloneness, despair and apparent death that the ego and ego consciousness is born - for survival and protection purposes only. As such, death or the idea of death, is an illusion measured by the limits of our consciousness.


Think of the ego as a protective cocoon that is eventually meant to be shed. The Unified Field can be visualized as a grid of great luminosity joining all living beings within its energy field of love.


The words of Longfellow would seem appropriate in describing this all-encompassing field or grid of love ~ "The thread of all sustaining beauty that runs through all and doth all unite."















 





Once again, at 83 years old, my heart is brimming with love and gratitude for my late beloved Grandfather, Joseph Allen Bryant, who not only unconditionally loved me but allowed me to love him so deeply that he became part of me forever ~ as well as the inspiration for my mission of heart centered service and work.

 

Martin Luther King Jr asked himself that same question at 38 years old, on November 5, 1967, in a sermon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church when King obviously sensed his mission and destiny and knew there was only one answer he could live with.

 

"SO PRECIOUS THAT YOU WILL DIE FOR IT"

“ I say to you, this morning, that if you have never found something so dear and so precious to you that you will die for it, then you aren't fit to live.

 

"You may be thirty-eight years old, as I happen to be, and one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls upon you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer. You're afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you're afraid that somebody will stab you or shoot at you or bomb your house.

 

So you refuse to take the stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are ninety, but you are just as dead at thirty-eight as you would be at ninety. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit. You died when you refused to stand up for right. You died when you refused to stand up for truth. You died when you refused to stand up for justice....

Don't ever think that you're by yourself. Go on to jail if necessary, but you never go alone. Take a stand for that which is right, and the world may misunderstand you, and criticize you. But you never go alone, for somewhere I read that one with God is a majority. And God has a way of transforming a minority into a majority.”

 

             *                      *

The question is, dear readers ~ are you willing to stand alone and overcome fear for what is right in a world apparently gone blindly wrong ~ as we relentlessly aim toward war.

 

Now I fully understand what one of my great teachers, Grace Petitclerc, told me many years ago when I was initially formulating my Unified Field Theory ~"Allen, Standing alone and singing your song or sharing your truth is really belonging."

 

Personally, I have taken and made a stand for a great truth, for a Unified Field of love, joy and soul consciousness that exists not only beyond time and space but also deepest within each one of us ~ the driving force is a principal property of a  universal urge to unite and we all  have a part to play as a co-creator in this loving plan in action.

 

Like Martin Luther King Jr, I’ve seen and felt along with my clients the joy, intention and state of soul consciousness that lies both beneath our deepest fears and beyond our present state of fear based ego consciousness.

 

How can I ever forget a combat veteran with PTSD in Band of Brothers #1 who could not forgive his first wife ~ he finally called her and took her off the hook with love and gratitude, with my urging, and in the process claimed a lost, alone and joyful child within himself who is now in heart centered service as a combat veteran counselor.

 

How can I forget a combat veteran with PTSD  in Band of Brothers #5 who was consumed with anger and hatred toward his girlfriend who seemingly betrayed him, while he was on tour, when he suddenly with my guidance saw her as a loving gift in his life and burst into joy and laughter and make a shift to soul consciousness and service through gratefulness and recovered long suppressed love and self-healing.

 

How can I forget another combat veteran with PTSD in Band of Brothers #11 who had lost all hope for recovery when I reached across the table, took him by the hand and connected him with his late beloved grandfather and literally jump started his life into a new state of soul consciousness, self-healing and service.

 

And how can I forget the hundreds of clients, both civilians and veterans, who opened their hearts through gratefulness as I watched their inner light go on as they began to thrillingly see through clearer eyes.

 

So much of my heart centered work can be summed up in this poem by Guillaume Apollinaire ~

 

“Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, we're afraid!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, We will fall!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
And so they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.”


Like Martin Luther King Jr, I have also been to the top of the Mountain, gone beyond my fears and know what lies beyond the difficult days ahead in a Trump/Bannon administration, for as King wrote ~ “We are all tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever effects one directly effects all indirectly.”  

 

Here is a video clip from Martin Luther King Jr’s last but incredibly moving speech before he was assassinated almost 50 years ago on April 4th, 1968  ~ 1.17 minute Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0FiCxZKuv8

 

 

It is my mentor Teilhard de Chardin, from beyond time and space ~ the Jesuit priest, paleontologist and explorer of the soul, whose life's work was the reinterpretation of Christianity in the light of evolution.

It is Teilhard, who stands impatiently at the summit of man's quest for the ultimate truth proclaiming to all that God is not only love but the most powerful and mysterious of the cosmic forces as well as the primal and universal psychic energy ~ "Love stands as the threshold of another universe."

 

Teilhard wrote in his last unpublished work, " Le Christique" 

(The Promised Land), of 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."

 

Can it really be this simple?

 

Yes it is ~ and this is a great truth that shall eventually set everything ablaze.

LOVE NOTE TO MY TWIN













My twin brother Bobby and I literally grew up surrounded by the Ocean on the tiny Peninsula of Nahant, Massachusetts. Bobby is now in a nursing home in Nahant suffering from stage 4 Parkinsons disease ~ probably accelerated by many concussions while playing college football. From his window at the Jesmond nursing home, where he now lives, he can see the Thompson Club ( now Nahant Club ) where we played together for many years as young children and also right across the street from where we lived on Nahant Road. This is a love note to my twin as he looks out that window: Allen L Roland  

My dearest twin,

As you look out your window at the old Thompson Club, you may not remember the glorious summer days we spent as children playing baseball, football and even tennis together but I will help you ~ for I remember virtually everything about our closeness and the fun we had together as twins, before events forced us to go on separate paths in our late teens.

It was so special to wake up every morning with my best friend and playmate ~ we were the Hardy Boys, my favorite book series, embarking on new daily adventures and using the whole peninsula as our playground. The Thompson club was our sports arena and depending on the season ~ it became Fenway Park or any sports stadium we invented in our active and exuberant imaginations.

The barn in our backyard became the set piece for all the movies we watched and acted out as well as the radio shows we listened to ~ The Shadow, Jack Armstrong, The green Hornet, the Adventures of Sam Spade , the Lone Ranger and of course, the Inner Sanctum and Lights Out.

Once again, in many ways, we WERE the Hardy Boys ~ "The Hardy Boys are constantly involved in adventure and action. Despite frequent danger, the boys never lose their nerve ..."  They are hardy boys, luckier and more clever than anyone around them." They live in an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue: "Never were so many assorted felonies committed in a simple American small town. Murder, drug peddling, race horse kidnapping, diamond smuggling, medical malpractice, big-time auto theft, even (in the 1940s) the hijacking of strategic materials and espionage, all were conducted with Nahant (Bayport) as a nucleus." With so much in common, the boys are so little differentiated that one commentator facetiously describes them thus: "The boys' characters basically broke down this way ~ Frank (Allen)  was the thinker while Joe ( Bobby ) was more impulsive, and perhaps a little more athletic." The two boys are infallibly on good terms with each other and never engage in sibling rivalry."  Wikipedia / Hardy Boys

Those were fun childhood times in Nahant and I vividly remember the hurricanes that swept over that Peninsula as we watched from our top floor bedroom perch on 287 Nahant Road ~ two houses down from the Jesmond Home where you now reside.

You were my constant companion and sharer of joy and we were indelibly connected together through our shared nine month journey to this planet and obvious deep loving twin connection.

The twin connection defies description, Bobby ~ it's a loving connection that goes beyond time and space ~ it's a deep knowing soul connection that was cemented in the womb as well as our shared birth experience.

Since I am the first born twin, two minutes before you, it is my responsibility to prepare you for the final transition by sharing that God (a loving plan in action) only reveals itself to a grateful heart and that alone will prepare you for your final passage.

My heart is most definitely grateful that you were my loving twin and companion for so many years and I will most certainly be with you in your final moments and most definitely when you pass through the event horizon of physical death.

Right now, you may feel increasingly alone since it's so difficult to speak and move ~ but you are being well taken care of and are most certainly loved by your immediately family as well as brothers and sisters.

But be aware that I am already holding your hand, as I did as a young enfant, and as you look out that window at the Thompson Club you will see me beckoning to you, with a baseball bat on my shoulder, telling you to hurry up before the summer rain squall starts and you will smile knowingly and be grateful, as I am, that you are indeed blessed to be a twin.

With my deepest love and joy
Allen
