Religion. Who is (was) God? Atheism. What if there is no God (now)? Nature. Nature’s laws, forces and powers. Life. Purpose. Meaning. How to become conscious of this intelligent nature.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS DISCOURSE:
What is the truth?
———————————————————————————————————————–——————————–
- Is a “God”, a creator “God”, the “Source” of – all there is -?
- Or, is – all there is (the vast universe) - its own ”Source”? – (An eternal and infinite - self-creating, self-generating - matrix?)
———————————————————————————————————————–——————————–
ONLY ONE OF THESE PROPOSITIONS CAN BE (IS) TRUE.
———————————————————————————————————————–——————————–
Our first dilema: Many say that we cannot know – for certain – if a “God” exists or not. This is not accurate. There is an answer. A definitive, incontrovertable answer.
Then, if there is no “God”… who, then, created the universe… (or… what is the universe?)… and who are you? About the universe… about the natural matrix into which you are born, live, think, dream, act… about the way you are at roots… about what molds you, shapes you, acts through you… here too, there are answers.
———————————————————————————————————————–——————————–
YOU WERE BORN IN NATURE
The spark, the nucleus, the seed of your being was conceived in this natural universe.
In a human maternal womb.
All of nature’s laws, forces, and powers were present in that creative seed. Then, atom by atom, molecule by molecule, heartbeat by heartbeat, these laws, forces, and powers weaved themselves into (your) body, mind, and soul/consciousness. This was – and still is – your natural “genesis”. Your true identity.
… AND THEN A ”GOD”…
Not long after you took your first breath into this world – by direct indoctrination, by force of habit, by societal osmosis – your mind was disconnected from its original blueprints and reconnected to the instructions set in a story. A ”God” story. Like most people on earth, you were reprogrammed to think, to dream, to desire, to see life, the world, and the universe through the various renditions of the “God” story. As to your original self… you were taught that it was faulty, defective, sinful… You needed to be “saved”. Your natural “identity”, the very essence of your being, was set to: “Delete”.
(Impudent humanity… thinking it can decline its natural cosmic membership card!)
———————————————————————————————————————–——————————–
LOSING CONSCIOUSNESS:
Never spoken of, never studied…hidden…covered-up…forgotten…the real laws, forces, powers, meaning, and purpose of your existence.
Also displaced and untouchable… the enchantment of the natural moment.
——————————————————————————————————————–——————————–
Who is (was) “God”?
The reality , the truth about “God’s” identity is not that complicated. But cooling our fervor, taking a deep breath, and getting there is. We have made of “God” a mystery. An enigma. We have raised Him above humanity. Above the world. Above time. He is spirit. – But that is not the real story.
Actually, there is a first moment when human beings use the word “god”. There exists hundreds of texts, legends, and artifacts associated with a time when gods lived among humans. Then the many gods were removed and replaced by one. This god became our “God”. We even have information about his appearance . He was male. Elderly. White-Bearded.
The “God” of old is not a figment of our human imagination… but the one worshipped today is. This is the interpretive door you need to open, the knot you need to untangle, the veil you need to lift… when you want to understand. (Even though it is an uncomfortable one, the door to knowing exists.)
When you muster the courage to look outside the ”allegorization” of those olden days, evidence shows that the “God” story ”imposed”on humanity today does not correspond with the events that unfolded on earth in antiquity. The facts have been amended and re-amended. Over the millennia people have put aside whole chapters, denied massive amount of pertinent evidence, and mytologized the “inconvenient” gods within the story… and then filled in, added, and re-organized… their own version. What is left? A residue, a concoction, a creation… an altered substance.. which is served to humanity as a philosophy of existence, as a code of conduct (morality), as the cause and explanation for of all that exists, as “The Truth”.
This mind-altering substance (mind-altering because it displaces reality) is to be taken at faith value… and if questionned, refuted, or refused… oh, the anger, the threats, the ostracization, the fears, the guilt, the punishments!
———————————————————————————————————————–——————————–
Look around. Observe. Ask. Talk to one another. This is where people live (fret). In a trance. Between heaven and earth. Pretending that a “God” exists. Afraid of awakening. Afraid of those who would awaken them. Walls… so high… so wide… have been built. Are build. Everwhere.
The walls can be breached… torn down.
(Freedom is possible.)
———————————————————————————————————————–——————————–
Regainning consciousness:
Over the years, science has opened many windows onto the natural universe. However, as a whole, its conclusions never stray very far from the ”God” proposition. Official science holds on to the idea that creation began at a specific moment in a distant past. Where there was nothing, a “God” caused the universe to take form. Regressing through telescopes and microscopes for a view at this primeval event keeps most of science appended to the “God” program.
To successfully escape the program, we must detach ourselves completely from “God”. We must turn the light off in the program, close the door, and walk into nature… naked.
THE SECOND PROPOSITION:
But that leaves us with a creator-less universe. (And a beginning-less universe.) Yet the universe exists. And time “passes”. - Creation, then, must labor under a different clock. -There is a solution. But the solution changes our perception of all that exists. It changes science. And it changes the purpose and meaning of our existence: Creation (beginning-middle-ending) happens – all of it - in an ever, continuous, present. (No outward or inward “Being”, “Divinity”, or “God” is required. Nature (the “Source”), infinitely and eternally, unfolds and folds all of its forms… from within to without, from without to within… within a single moment. A fascinating, internally intelligent - living, breathing – moment:
The now.
———————————————————————————————————————–——————————–
And within the now… who are you? What is your purpose of existence?
You are the beholder of the mind of the universe.
You are a “creator”.
Imagine that!
———————————————————————————————————————–——————————–
THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS:
Observe the passage of time… it is always… now. Observe again… it is still… now. Again… now…. now… now. The now is whole. Complete. This moment is “who” you are… and because you are it, you can observe it, you can define it. You can extract its “rules”. Rules that permeate every speck of dust, every molecule of water, every once of flesh… every dream that you imagine, every thoughts that you think, every word that you speak, and every act that you perform.
You find yourself part of a magnificient, conscious, and intelligent universe. You are in the right place… at the right time… in the right universe…. and in the right “form”. But, it is not free. ”Successful” living demands knowledge, relflection, awareness, consciousness… of the ways your designing matrix operates.

What is gain?
You matter.

The book “A Natural Philosophy” offers you the rare opportunity to…
- … Become aware of the ancient ”historical” events that are behind our human “God” stories… and “God” concepts. – Without this understanding, nothing will ever align with reality. (Also, the ”God” belief has been implanted deep within your psyche… and it does not leave easily… so it is deep within your being that you must begin the recovery of your true ”self”.)
- … Begin to figure out this natural universe… the now… this infinite and eternal moment… its ways, its laws, its rules, its forces, its powers… its intelligence.. . - … Feel… a sense of “wellness of being” - as you take your rightful place at the centre of creation. – Want it or not - you’re “in” – and - you’re “it” - .

(A word from the editor)
“Albert… If I did not believe that your book was professional enough or original enough, I would tell you. But there are enough flashes of real creativity and seminal intelligence to prick even the most jaded reader.
There is an audience out there, one of global proportions.
Some critics might question your credibility. “What makes this guy an authority on these weighty subjects? No PhD? No previous publications that appeared in the New York Times List?” But those criticisms seem without merit. The proof is in the pudding and your writing is the only proof of your credibility and it passes the test.
I was especially impressed with the overwhelming positive and empowering message that resonated throughout the book. I found it most uplifting and motivational.
Much of what you say is profound and deeply fascinating for those individuals ready to make a sincere effort to get a handle on the abstract realities in their lives.
David Yanor, editor.
