I recently received an inquiry from our ‘contact us’ section
of the website. The subject line stated: “i am confused about where u are
coming from”
Part of the message was: “I also think that you are wrong in
many aspects of your beliefs. If we as a race are "divine" and human
then please explain the unholiness of war, destruction, chaos, and corruption
(sc). If we are "divine" then this would not be happening.”
I will take this opportunity to explain again the concept of
divine humanity. According to divine humanity, and contrary to the Christian
belief of original sin, we are not sinful and human but we are divine and
human. Not just divine. And not just human. But both divine as well as human. A
further important point to keep in mind is that all things have this
combination of divinity and intrinsic identity—trees are divine as well as
being a tree, jaguars are divine as well as being a jaguar. The archetype of
the divine human is the Feathered (heaven) Serpent (earth).
The divine part and the human parts make up the totality of
each one of us. I believe that we have all seen or heard of someone that has
expressed their divine light—unconditional actions that may save another
persons life at the expense of their own. And I believe that we have all observed
a person or persons that have their divine light hidden very very deeply within
themselves while expressing their ‘negative’ humanness by crashing a plane into
a skyscraper. We all have the capacity to express our divinity and we all have
the ability to be human and exhibit human behaviors, which may bring either joy
or bring sorrow.
The “unholiness of war, destruction, chaos, and corruption
(sc)” comes from the human side of our equation.
“If we are ‘divine’ then this would not be happening.”
That is true. If we were just divine, wars would not occur.
But we are not just divine; we are also human. And it is the human side of us
that causes war and conflict.
Divine Humanity is Not Faith (usually blind) based or based on a state of 'Grace' such as
Christianity but is based on the Potentiality of the human spirit and Hope. The hope that humanity in
the future will begin a grand quest to bring unity, peace, equality and love to
all—every human being as well as every creature and every living thing on this
earth.
As I state on the website: ‘Divine Humanity puts in
prospective the truth that the earth is not the center of creation. With a
minimum of eight billion galaxies it is reasoned and intuited that humanity is
not alone nor is it the only children (sentient beings) of God. Thus, humanity
is neither the center nor the whole of the great Mystery, but only a part of
the whole of creation. Any explanation or teaching of the mysteries, as well as
any religious, philosophical, scientific theories based on isolation,
centeredness and exclusivity (the only sentient beings) would be viewed as
religiously and spiritually ignorant and immature. Divine Humanism, from the
core concept of its name, believes in direct intuitive experience of the great
Mystery, ultimate reality, as well as the merging and equilibrium of intuition
(contemplation, vision) and reason (observation, analysis). To deny one or the
other is sheer folly. Divine Humanism does not believe in barriers or
boundaries. In statement of this, Divine Humanism cuts across and eliminates
all aspects of separatism and isolationism of race, sex,
and religion. In the eyes of Divine Humanity, there is only one race and
that is the human race whose divinity is its unity and its humanness is its
diversity.’
Wars separate. Fear separates. Christian versus Muslin. Jew
versus Muslim. Good versus evil. My race versus your race. No unity only fear, separatism and
social-economic inequality. Past hatreds that have never been resolved. Wars in
the near future will not be over oil but over water as the cultures of this
earth have destroyed the balance of life. Certain strands within the web of
life have been compromised and are leading to a breakdown of the earth’s
biosphere resulting in a lack of drinkable water.
These are the truths and the legacies of believing that we
are just separate human beings and not something more. The something more is
our oneness or unity as holders of a divine spark of creation. We are human.
Yet, we are also divine. And it is our divinity that unites us. Think for a
moment without judgment—this unity of our divinity is such a healing and
powerful belief that it just might, just might, save our world.
