Why are you assuming just one force? The critical mass for the invocation
of a spiritual phenomena is just one suitably prepared mind. I.E, Brodie's
at the time of the revelation. Of course a God that lives in just one mind
has a mean life of 3 score and 10. God's that live in many minds live
longer ...
I would just ask what makes you think that your theism is part of a global
phenomena when other participants in the phenomena would deny the validity
of your experience? You've certainly got the Hindu's and Shinto's in your
camp ... but the Xtians, Muslims, and Commies would all probably say that
your revelelation is a shadow of their true enlightenment ...
[1] Ok. I'm not going to post any second post. Here are the baby ideas
which I would have thought out: You're post was very un-you-ish. Part of
me suspects you are making 'stuff' up--the same way people didn't believe
in XYZ Customer Support.
I suspect that R.B. has tried to join one too many cults and the psychic
energies are backing up in his chakras. Once the pressure gets to large
he'll either psychically explode and turn into an Amway distributor or he
will emerge as a true level 4 meta-prophet.
