About My Spiritual Blog :

MY SPIRITUAL BLOG:
I've created this blog to express my beliefs and to engage in conversation about our different concepts and theories on existence. My mother-in-law, Rosemaria Esposito, introduced me to a new way of thinking. She didn't teach me about a religion, she taught me to learn to think about and answer the questions that my heart is asking. It's those questions that help keep your spiritual journey on track and closer to the truth .....There are no limits to any subject a visitor may want to talk about. I will try to embed all video responses onto my site. I will embed all video questions.

RELIGION

by Christopher Gebbia

Ever lie in bed at night looking out the bedroom window, up at the night sky, into the billions of stars and wonder ... where are we? How are we connected to this big picture? Do you ever wonder where we are in this big picture of our existence?

I know I have.

My name is Christopher. I am in my thirties. When I was around the age of ten I wanted to be a priest. I always had an interest in the concept of God and the unknown. By the time I turned fourteen I was addicted to Bruce Lee and the martial arts. I started to move away from the idea of priesthood after the constant rituals that the Catholic religion goes through.
I mentioned Bruce Lee above because he was the first to introduce me to the concept of philosophy. It was at the age of fifteen that I started looking at religions with more questions than ever. And I mean all religions. When I met my wife in 1989, it was her mother that I believe I was meant to meet. She introduced me to metaphysics and started me on my path of inner spiritual journey. She had passed away in 2002 from cancer and my only guru became the truth. What I would give to know what she knows now.
I'm happy to say that I am still married to her daughter and we have three beautiful children.

I'm writing this book to try to explain my thoughts and theories, as well as concepts on life, religion and our human existence.

My spiritual journey started when I was 10 to 13 years old. In those years I wanted to become a priest. Eventually I got tired of the same rituals they go through. From that point on I knew I was searching. But for what?
I didn't know. But there was something missing, much deeper in all religions. Instead of encouraging one to seek their own answer, they are given an answer. I don't like to be fed my right to spiritual belief in a sandwich I didn't make. Truth can only be found by making your own sandwich. That was the first thing I discovered. Each of our answers to truth is each individual's own journeyed experience.

At the age of 14 to 16 years old I got into Karate and Kung-Fu. I read the book 'Tao of Jeet Kune Do' written by Bruce Lee, whom introduced me to philosophy. I knew my journey had to continue in this direction. Toward the thought of an evolving brain, as well as evolution itself. Into finding yourself becoming a thinker?

At the age of 19 years old I met my wife Lorraine. The beautiful bonus that came along with her was her mother. Her mothers name was Rosemaria Esposito (Sadly she died in 2002 of cancer). She introduced me to my life-changing journey. She gave me books on metaphysics and we use to have long talks, which got really deep and spiritual. All my time reading and having conversations with Rose helped mold me. She forced my mind to want to evolve. To think deeper.

I'm going to try to explain it the best I could. Please excuse my grammar and any other errors you may come across. I'm not well educated as far as schooling goes. I never finished high school, but I really want to try to share with you my thoughts and theories that developed along my spiritual journey to inner harmony. My emotions for my thoughts and theories may get lost behind the words but I will try to explain everything the best I could. I wish we could speak face to face. I seem to connect my ideas easier in person.

In advance I thank you for your patience and interest in my thoughts.

What do Harmony, Evolution and God have to do with Human Consciousness?

All religions exist because of some form of God. It may not be called God but it is the worshiping of some form of existence that each religion puts their faith in. It's always the putting of faith into the something that is the unknown.

Well I believe that all religions are worshipping the same thing. What? That's right. Each religion has God in common. Each religion puts some or all of its faith into nothing more than an unknown. The only difference is the human consciousness. It is only through the consciousness that humans can think and put words to those thoughts. It's only with the human consciousness that every thought of some existence, whether known or unknown, can have so many interpretations. The human mind sees things and labels things. It wants to know things and understand things. I believe that it is only beyond words and thoughts that God can be touched. Therefore, our human consciousness and thoughts can never hold the truth, nor know the truth. They are the truth. Existence is truth. The human consciousness has to put its faith into an unknown. The Ego thinks it's in control. Ego can't accept NOT being informed or NOT having powerful. Human thought needs to have at least one of our human senses attached to any form of existence to justify it. Right?

The reason why I'm jumping right into the human conscious talk before I try to explain my theory from the beginning is because I believe existence is like music. Picture a guitar that has only two strings. Put those two strings in tune and strum them. You will get overtones. Overtones are the creation and existence of something caused by the connection between two other forms of existence (The two strings being in tune with each other).

I believe that human consciousness is nothing more than the connection and the harmony between two other forms of existence that are in tune with each other. Like a guitar tuned and then strummed. You get overtones. They are the harmony between a biological form and emotional forms. Just like the connection between our Sun and its chemical make up to the Mother Earth and her chemical make up. The harmony between them is the chance for biological existence. The harmony between Mother Earth and Biological Existence are different forms of emotional beings. The harmony between Biological Existence and its emotions is Consciousness. The harmony between Emotions and Consciousness is Thought...(An evolving consciousness that can think, logically understand, debate, create solutions etc...) Humans became the lucky ones. Look at the story of Adam & Eve. Although the bible makes it look like it is a bad thing that we bit into the apple of knowledge. I believe the story is really showing the point in existence when human biology became so in tune with Mother Earth, and all the harmonies created thereafter, that human consciousness was created. The difference between human consciousness and other biological beings is that human consciousness has the power and gift of continuing the harmony by being able to evolve.

BUT, like the Adam & Eve story, once the human consciousness came along, it was then that humans entered into a dualistic existence. It always took two things in harmony to evolve up to this point, but in this point of evolution our dualistic existence has itself a Satan. What I mean by that is our consciousness, with the capability of being able to put labels on things and make actions either be right or wrong also has the capability to throw it all OUT of harmony.

It takes two things to create an overtone. It's just that the overtone of human consciousness has the power to put itself OUT of harmony. Where before, conscious existence just fell into harmony where the make up of that existence was in harmony with itself first, then becomes ready to connect with the second existence (which too is in harmony with itself). Example.... The Sun and Earth. Before the overtone of biological existence was created due to the harmony between Mother Earth and our Sun, each one of them was in harmony with itself. The Sun had the right chemical make up. It was at the right size and stage in its life as well as Mother Earth having the perfect chemical make up (how ever science wants to believe the chemical make up was formed on earth, by comets etc.), Earth also was the perfect size for the Sun and had the harmony of itself and our Moon in order to make the Sun-Earth connection harmonize. And of course the Earth was at the right distance from the Sun. The harmony between the two started slow, became more in tune till...bam...biology. Like all the planets in our solar system only one had an evolved connection with the Sun, so is true with biological life. Humans are what Earth is to the Sun. The harmony is an EVOLVING consciousness. The only difference is in this stage of evolution (conscious and evolution in all) there is a harmony that can be put out of harmony by itself. Consciousness can consciously aid the evolution of human mind or slow down the process. It can never stop it because life is motion. With no motion, you have no life...

Before I lose anymore of you with this big jump ahead into my theory I'll try to explain it from a beginning. I will try to explain what existence is, where humans fall in the existence chain and what God is.

On the topic of God, when I say the word God I don't mean the catholic version of the word. I don't mean any religious version of the word. To me, God IS existence. God is the possibility of two things able to CREATE an overtone from their harmonious existence. Isn't that what God does...CREATE. Well with me I look at it as God being the force that drives existence, which is evolution, matter, the invisible force that moves atoms around its nucleus. From the very beginning it takes two things in motion to drive existence forward through evolution. That driving force to me is God, BUT the word God to me is just a word. What if human conscious gave God a different label and used different letters. Instead of God it was called Kadf or Bawv or just a single letter like G. So you see everything that I will be writing about in this book will have the possibility of being misunderstood. That's just part of consciousness and the way humans have evolved to using a conscious speaking language to CONNECT with each other. Have you ever really connected with a person without using any words? Some people call them soul mates or best friends or lovers. Well that's the language of God. Humans still have the ability to connect and commune with each other and other forms of existence through the language of God. The language of God is No words or Thoughts but rather all emotions. If we were 100% in tune with our bodies (where emotions speak to us), then we would be able to connect with someone or something that too was 100% in tune. The overtone between the two beings would be the communing between them. They would connect by using God language.

Anyway as you can see I keep drifting. I just wanted you to understand what I mean when I use the word God.

My Theory - Existence from the Beginning

OK. From the beginning. This is how I believe humans evolved. And remember, it is the force behind evolution that to me is God. As well as the process of evolution and evolution itself AND everything that creation creates along the path in evolution IS God to me...

Science uses the Big Bang Theory, for the beginning of the Universe explanation. I'm going to start some time after that part of Universal Evolution with the evolution of or Solar System.

We had the birth of our Sun. Our Sun in its beginnings was surrounded by tons of dust and debris. The Sun commanded a strong force around it, which is defined as its gravitational pull. The force of gravity made all that dust and debris collide and compress into each other at nine different locations around our beautiful Sun. In you mind, turn each forming planet into the image of a guitar string on a guitar. This guitar has 10 strings. The Sun, being the major string, which is already vibrating, is a part of this Solar System Guitar. The vibrating Sun along with its force of gravity, which is keeping the dust and debris around the Sun, has itself a harmony, which results in an overtone. Remember it takes two things in harmony to create an overtone. The Sun and the force it is creating (gravity) have a harmony. I'm calling the Sun and the dust and debris one thing, matter. So the two things in harmony are really matter and all the force surrounding the Sun, dust and debris. The overtone created by this matter and the surrounding force is the creation of nine planets. Lets call this stage, Level One. Level 1; in our Solar System's long evolution.   Level Two happens to each individual planet. Some have formed solo while others not only formed themselves but some of the debris formed moons around its planet. Some scientist believes that collisions with comets and large asteroids have also contributed to some of the formed moons. A comet would slam into a planet so hard that a mass amount of that planet would separate and go into an orbit the planet. Scientist believes that this is how Mother Earth received its Moon. If so, then this event to Earth has not only helped our planet to continue through more Levels of this Solar Systems Evolution, but the event itself can be considered an evolutional stage for the evolution of Earth. While the Evolution of the Solar System is happening each planet is going through its own form of evolution. It's obviously part of the big Solar Systems Evolution but one planet out of the nine is going through an evolution that I believe is being forced by the vibration of the Sun's force. Therefore Mother Earth and our Sun are creating a harmony. It's taking millions of years but the more of a harmony between the two that is being created the sweeter the overtone. Lets look at the Sun and Mother Earth. They all have a certain chemical make up which is important to Level Three in our Solar Systems Evolution. Level Three is the harmony between Father Sun and Mother Earth. Remember within this harmony is also the individual harmonies of each player in this Level. The Sun has its own harmony, which was explained above. Mother Earth has a harmony between itself and our Moon as well as a harmony between the chemical make up of the matter on Earth and the gravitational force that is created by the Earth-Moon harmony. So Level Three is starting to become a harmony of all the players in the Sun-Earth harmony. Like our guitar model, two strings are vibrating in harmony causing an overtone. Now this overtone is falling in harmony with the other overtones created by the other harmonies within the Sun-Earth harmony.

I hope I'm not losing any of you. I believe that if you open your mind to this harmony and overtone concept then you will see the evolution of the Levels clearly.

So to recap.... Level Three is the harmony between Sun (which has its own harmonies too) and Mother Earth (which has a few harmonies of its own as well).

So Level Three Harmony has the most beautiful and Universal overtone of all.........the existence of biology.
