John: Mark. You say your books, I refer to a book titled ‘The Third Testament’ and another titled ‘The Science of LIFE’, you claim these books have nothing to do with religion.
Mark: Religions are beliefs that usually involve rituals and praying. Both of my books are a scientific record and explain a ‘spiritual dimension’. That does include the Hebrew God dimension, but that is not Judaism or Christianity. Some of the original story tellers from whom the Bible was put together were the Hebrews. As to who they were, that has never been understood. Jews claim they are descendants of the Hebrews. The Sumerians existed long before ancient Egypt became civilized. There is a Sumerian story almost identical to the story of Moses. So, in my view, the Hebrews were a tribe of Sumerians. In fact, Abraham and Jacob, the founders of Judaism, are not claimed to have been Jews. Religions were invented for political reasons. They became a cultural identity. In regards to Judaism and Christianly, it is known that Rabbis and Christian theologians, over thousands of years, enhanced biblical stories to make the Bible believable. There is not much left from the original Hebrews. Even the story of Abraham appears much fake. Scientists have proved camels were not domesticated in those areas in his time. Obviously a later enhancement to the story. In any case, about that story. If your neighbor told you that God told him to take his son to a mountain and kill him, what would you think of your neighbor? And yet, this is a belief.
John: Mark. A simple truth lay people can relate to. Can you actually talk to God?
Mark: Anyone in Life in the Spirit, same as Kingdom of Heaven, as I explain in my books, can do that. It is discerning, not talking. Buddhists who attain enlightenment could be said to talk to Buddha. Life in the Spirit and the Buddhist Enlightenment are energy environments. The human brain can become sensitive to such and can learn to discern from such. Dimensional energy is not restricted by spatial distances. In such an environment a person literally ‘senses’, discerns, from the environment. Such an environment, it is made of dimensional energy, can blend into itself parts of the heavens of the Hebrew God or any dimension. If you understand the science of this, then yes, any member of Life in the Spirit can ‘talk’ to their god just like a Buddhist part of Enlightenment can talk to Buddha.
John: In simple words, do you believe in God?
Mark: I don’t know what that means. I believe in the ideals of the United Nations. You could ask me ‘Mark, do you believe in Robin Hood?’ What do you mean by that? In the character in the novel? Do I believe it is an interesting character? An insightful character? In that sense the story of Buddha, and God as invented by religions, are interesting. The word’ God’ is an invention of religions. The original ancient Hebrew word, ‘Elohim’, equated to ‘god’ actually meant many things and not the ‘god’ of religions. If you were to ask me do I believe in the Way of Life of the ancient Hebrews, I would have to say yes.
John: So Mark you don’t believe in Jesus Christ as being an actual person who performed miracles?
Mark: No. The character is great, but the story is that of the legend of Attis. Attis was invented some 1000 years before Christ. Attis was born of the virgin Nana on December 25. That was considered an immaculate conception. Later he was crucified and resurrected 3 days later. His disciples, as I understand, either invented or adopted the eating of his body, symbolically, as bread. The Christian Eucharist.
John: Your Life in the Spirit experiences. These are strong visions in your head?
Mark: Yes, put simply, yes, but not that strong as to overpower the natural reality test.
John: How can you be certain these are related to what you explain as Life in the Spirit and not your imagination?
Mark: I don’t have a diagnosed brain tumor or any mental illness. As to are these sometimes my imagination? I have considered this carefully in the early and and rejected that. I also have developed a medical diagnosis tool. 5GL-Doctor. In the database there are thousands of experiences of people with a mental illness. I have tried to find a match with my experiences. I couldn’t.
John: Is your science book accepted by scientists?
Mark: I don’t understand how to answer that. There is, what I believe a science site, that has links to my science web page. As to something like a story in say the Scientific American. I can’t see that happening. In many ways science is a conservative area. When explaining about a new form of dimensional energy that you can’t see or touch or experiment on, I don’t believe that is of interest to conventional science. Also, mention the spiritual dimension and you lose credibility because scientists are human and few people nowadays, in my view, want much to do with what they think is religion.
John: How confident are you that you have eternal life?
Mark: Based on science as explained in ‘The Science of LIFE?’ Very. At first this was terror, the very thought, but much later I began to hope it is true.
John: So how does that work? Can you explain?
Mark: When dimensional energy, a very fine form of which can be called the ‘spirit’, can form in your thoughts, with time it may begin to clone your consciousness into itself. Hence the expression ‘born in the spirit’. As to how will that work? From a science perspective maybe like in a dream. You hardly understand what or how or why, but you are conscious. If the brain did not cause you to awaken, that dream consciousness may have a chance to evolve in its own way and then you might start gaining control in a dream. However, in both of my books there are alternative theoretical scenarios. In ‘The Third Testament’ Amy, Mark’s celestial daughter, has worked out much about people and how they live and introduced into the Dimension of Life a replica of a house. Slightly unusual thought. Inside a bedroom. Amy has worked out scenarios. In one Mark will awaken in a bedroom and she will rush in an explained that he fell of a horse and may not recall where he is or even who she is.
John: Would you conclude that your closeness, for want of better word, with the Hebrew God and the Eternal God, as you define these in your book, is a reward because you understood the damage the Holocaust did to Life in the Spirit and you began to repair it?
Mark: A repair I could not do on my own. I needed Jewish Life in the Spirit to assist me. Their support is not won easily. Working with a Rabbi, this is how this is explained in ‘The Third Testament’, the character Mark uncovered a scam in Australia operated by lower courts. A scam that enables lawyers to legally steal bank accounts and property from brain damaged people. That scam, every phase of it, is also documented in a book titled the CMPL which is mainly for psychiatrists. If you consider such closeness with Jewish Life in the Spirit, is the same as a closeness to the Hebrew God then maybe the answer to your question is yes. I have to explain that I don’t know any Jews in true life and never have known any. I did visit Israel once.
John: Mark. Do I have a chance at being born into eternal life?
Mark: In theory everyone has, but it is a struggle. First obstacle is to transcend religious and philosophical beliefs and focus on LIFE and even spirituality. As to what is a spiritual person as distinct from a religious person, the definitions vary. You may need to find a definition that matches you. But, having said this, the groups I know of in Life in the Spirit are not typical carnal people. For example. There is a Missionaries of Charity group. An Islamic ‘women with a veil group’ and these are similar to Catholic sisters. There are ‘Holy Rabbis’, for want of better term. Jewish Life in the Spirit is the largest and most advanced, perhaps 3000 members, and they accept anyone who can learn to understand how their ‘Ways of Life’ work. Jewish Life in the Spirit has no direct connection to Judaism or the beliefs of Judaism, but some Jewish traditions may be important within Jewish Life in the Spirit environment. Jewish Life in the Spirit works on ‘laws’, but such are no longer just the 10 commandments. I guess if you were to reflect on ‘Do not kill’, and reflect in every sense of the word what that is about, then compatible dimensional energy, say spirit, may begin to form in you. For example, Is harming the confidence in a child the same as ‘Do not kill’ when reflecting in every sense of the word?
John: ‘The Science of LIFE’ surely has some controversial topics?
Mark: Like it explains that Albert Einstein was a charlatan? The man had a police record because he would become lost in familiar environments and police had to be called to find him. And this is supposed to be a genius at orienting himself in time and space! Just as well he never drove a car. That alone, that he refused to drive, suggests a brain dysfunction - as did his brain autopsy. He did receive a Nobel Prize by default. As to why? Politics of the time is the only credible explanation. Anything attributed to Einstein can usually be traced to an original scientist. The man was known to be a plagiarist. One of his attempts at a Nobel Prize, presented to the committee, was a such blatant plagiarism the committee was embarrassed. The television show called ‘The Big Bang Theory’ so often wants to attributes something to Einstein. Far too often! In truth I don’t know if anything new can actually be attributed to Einstein.
John: I was thinking more of interstellar astronomy. You say there are no Black Hole or Neutron Stars and the way astronomy explains about stars is not right?
Mark: Interstellar astronomy is science fiction. A belief system. A religion. Some of these beliefs border on the ridiculous, such as space is always expanding faster that the speed of light and the reason it is black. At the same time they claim nothing, absolutely nothing, can travel faster than light. The digital readouts on their space telescopes such as Hubble can be interpreted any way you want to interpret. You could read into such readouts that Santa Claus lives on the Moon. As to Black holes and Neutron stars. These are theoretical entities derived from the mathematics of gravity before it was known such mathematics were too simple. A person who persuaded everyone that she discovered a Black Hole in the center of our galaxy received a Nobel Prize. For what? For persuading a group of non-affiliated scientists that digital numbers on her readout means there is a Black Hole there? Honestly. Another person came close to receiving a Nobel Prize from the interpretation of radio signal data - except it became clear those supposedly interstellar signals from a galaxy so far away were actually originating from a faulty transmitter on Earth.
John: Mark. Would alien life want to visit Earth?
Mark: I don’t know if there is much biological life anywhere in the universe. But, I asked the ‘Eternal God’ about this. His response was that human life is early evolved life. Any alien capable of sensing such biological life would sense death, pain, a child starving every minute while greed is protected by military and police. So no, no alien would come near Earth - but as to Earth’s spiritual dimension, that is another story.
John: Mark. You said earlier you asked the Eternal God a question. Can you clarify please.
Mark: Sure. If you have an association area in the brain that can form dimensional energy, then you can include a sense of a question into that energy. In time, if someone - out there! - understands the question a response may come back of which I am aware of. But, it is more complicated than this. I could tell you stories. In my thoughts sometimes, and the virtual reality is strong and clear, the Eternal God takes me on a journey into different areas of the cosmos. The problem is my human nature is only capable of limited sensory perception. So I don’t necessary understand much but the experience is grand.
John: Why not the Hebrew God?
Mark: The Hebrew God dimension is more complicated, Seems a strange thing to say, but it seems that way. That dimension continues to evolve LIFE born from biological life into entities defined as ‘heavens’. The Hebrew God dimension can’t directly connect to a person, but can through one of his heavens. The result is an experience that is overwhelming. For example. One incredible experience of a heaven resulted in such an awesome mental image that even the Missionary of Charity group felt they were not worthy of experiencing such wonder. In ‘The Third Testament’, if I recall correctly, this experience is documented. Mark, say a mental image of a Dark Lord, was with Helen, say his wife in the spirit, and Amy, a 7-year-old relative image of a celestial being. When this experience happened, and Lisa representing the Missionaries of Charity felt this experience far to grand for her kind, and a Holy Rabbi also felt the same, Mark turned to Helen asking “For whose benefit is this then?” Helen reflected and replied “For you and Amy, I think.”
John: Mark. An honest answer please. Are people who are religious and believe in God wasting their time?
Mark: Certainly not. While religion is a political and cultural and business entity, it is also a personal belief. A religion can build confidence. Not everyone has a family and some religions work on developing communities.Some religions encourage ethics and morals. Of course, if you mean will religious people go to a heaven? Frankly, eternal life and heavens are fine in the imagination. Experience some of this, and a human life becomes terrified because people are not biologically engineered to live forever. Jewish Life in the Spirit is an advance community, in the spirit, but other Life in the Spirit groups are specialized. The Missionaries of Charity group, from their beliefs and prayers and activity, evolved a dimension. What does a consciousness do in a dimension? Depends. Just being a part of a dimension can be satisfying in its own right. There is, in the spiritual dimension, also the spirituality of the ancient god Amun-Ra. That is just an experience, a set of visions, and nothing else. I am uncertain how well I answered this question.
Spirituality, religion.
