The Technology of Prayer ° -------------   Most healing modalities treat symptoms.   
Theta Transformation  removes root causes.   

Where Do I Go to Connect to God?°  --------------   Are you inside and an integral part of God, or do you see yourself as outside and separate from God?     

This Site in Seventy Seven Seconds °  ---   Years of work summarized in seventy-seven seconds.   The bottom of the bottom line.

A Message from the Collective Conscious of Trees°  ---   If trees could speak in human language, what would they say?

Quotes and Excerpts From "Religion and Reality" °  ---  The quotes on this page will give you  an excellent overview of this project and explain why your life and your well-being are on the line.

Becoming One of Our Team Members:°      Join us as we become one of the most potent forces in the fast-growing community of dedicated individuals and organizations working diligently to reverse Global Climate Change.   

Home Page -Religion and Reality °  -----    Because life is not what you've been led to believe it is by those who claim to know,  you, I, and everybody else have been (and still are) making critical, irreversible, life-altering decisions based on false, incomplete, and/or intentionally deceptive information.

Bringing Religion into the 21st Century °     Human life on earth, as we presently know it, is simply not sustainable.   False beliefs about life, religion, reality, and God are at the core of all of our personal and collective problems.

                                                                           Each and every one of us is pushing human kind closer to oblivion or closer to a successful transformation into an age of self-awareness.   The direction in which you push is determined by your beliefs .  

Preface -- Introduction -- Setting the Stage °   This page sets the context and introduces points that are core to understanding the project, itself.

Why Bother? -- What's In It for Me? °       By understanding the truth, you can greatly enhance your material and financial well-being and multiply the joys and pleasures in your relationships and in your personal life.  

You Hold the Magic Key °   ----------        Humanity is in big trouble, BUT . . .    here's the secret that nobody has been telling you:   You hold the silver bullet that can  stop the enemy.   You hold the holy grail filled with the elixirs of life.    You hold the magic key to the Garden of Eden.   And at any time you choose, you can call the heroes to the rescue.

Not for Everyone °  -------------------     Like every other pathway to "God," this one not for everyone.   This pathway combines:   head and heart -- faith and reason --  emotion and the intellect --  past beliefs and present research data --  the physical and the non-physical worlds -- what's known and what can't be known. . .   

Why Speak Up Publicly °    ------------    Because, collectively, humans are using false and unprovable  religious beliefs to  irreversibly destroying our Earthly environment and to  wage war upon each other.  Because your life and the lives of your children and grandchildren are at stake.  

How You Can Help Us Help You° 

Prisoners of Yesterday°  ----------------   Regarding what we think about, we are constantly at choice.   We can focus on the past (on yesterday)  or on the future.   Our choice of focus makes a huge difference in the future experiences we encounter.

.

.

The Price of Ignorance°   ---------------    Your ignorance (assuming there is something in the world you have not yet a mastered) can have a very high price to you personally and, collectively, to all humanity.   

The Basics about Reality°  ---------------    One of the first steps in The Reasonables' Adventure into Consciousness is to examine where humans are in relation to the rest of the universe.?

The Vibrating Universe° --------------      In order to play the game of life in the arena of joy and abundance, we need to know the basic rules.   This page will give you an overview of the basic rules of how the universe appears to functions.   

What Do You Believe?°  ---------------     Do your beliefs represent reality 
or are they beliefs about reality?

Religion Versus Spirituality°  ----------      When we think of religion, we commonly confuse a religion's original, and basic philosophy with the social hierarchy (the men) that now control the religion's social structure.   

The Foundations of Religion°  ---------      Where did our religious beliefs come from?  Are we standing on a solid, spiritual  foundation or are our beliefs  unprovable myths?   

The Purposes of Religion°  -------------      Are religions' original purposes still valid today?   Are the religious stories handed down to us from men who believed the earth was flat still accurate?   What does the evidence tell us?  

An Alternative Vision of Life°   -----------  For those who have eyes willing to see, ears willing to hear, and minds willing to know the truth, The Reasonables' project,  Finding God By Faith and by Reason  is creating a new vision of Christianity based on  what the evidence tells us are the most probably answers to life's greatest mysteries and on several heretofore ignored aspects of the Christian religion.  

Fresh Look at Bible Content°   ---------    Those dominating Christianity claim that the Christian Bible is the absolute authority for human behavior; yet, they ignore  literally dozens of very significant passages -- passages that have profound implications and meanings.   

The Quintessential Jesus° --------------    Jesus was the ultimate rebel, the quintessential human being, the role model for the rest of us.   Those who came after Jesus turned Him into a golden idol.   They set him up on a pedestal -- to be worshipped from afar  -- and to be begged for favors. 

Religion in the 21st Century°  °  ---------   Beliefs are at the core of ALL of our social problems.   If human society is to survive, we need to let go of hundreds of illusions and instead,  examine and follow what the evidence tells us is most likely the truth.

Why Your Donations are important° ---     Unless we wakeup and alter our relationship to nature now,  billions of humans will be severely and negatively impacted, and millions will very likely die. 

Supporting Our Work with a Donation°       Our work cannot continue without your financial support.   To those of you who are supporting and/or have supported our work, we are extremely grateful.

.

A Crisis in Consciousness    --------     If  your ignorance doesn't kill you,  your  apathy almost certainly will !

Why Speak Truth?°   ---------------     If you want to reach a destination, you must first find out where you are.  You can't find the truth about something  if you believe you already know all there is to know about it.    

Spiritual Awareness°   -------------     A look at how humans relate to "God" 

Imagine a God°  ---------------------    What would He/She/It be Like?  We all have beliefs about God, but are those beliefs accurate?

An Alternate Perspective on Christian Theology ° ---  Life is not what we've been led to believe it is by those who claim to know!     When one adds reason to faith and looks at the physical evidence, this indicates that some Christian beliefs are in need of a new perspective.

Religion or Spirituality°   ----------    Religious dogma versus a personal connection with the infinite source of life which we call "God" and an understanding of who and what you really are.

Leap of Faith°    ---------------------     A "leap of faith" is a religious term that means to believe something with no proof at all.   

The "I Am My Body" Proclamation°    ---   A major conflict  in religion and now in politics revolves around the answer to this question:   Is a human being his/her  physical body?

Everybody is a Good Guy   --------      There  aren't any  bad guys.   There are just human beings doing the best they can given their knowledge, conditioning and circumstances.   

Martin Luther's Challenge  --------     After years of extreme dedication to the church, Luther came to the realization that church intermediaries between a human being and God were irrelevant and unnecessary.

Facing Our Own Mortality   -------     Or is it our immortality?

Alive & Dynamic  or  Dogmatic & Dead    -- Life is dynamic.  It's constantly changing, growing, evolving, bringing in the new, releasing the obsolete.   In contrast an idol, be it a physical object or a mental attitude, is fixed, static, unmoving and DEAD!

Relevant Biblical Passages   -------     The ultra-conservative Christians claim the Bible is the absolute truth.   We wonder why they place inordinate value on the vague scattered passage that support the Rapture story and ignore so many other passages that give us a clear, specific and very different stories.  (See the page titled:  The Rapture°   and the page titled:   Some Biblical Examples.)°     

Born Again Bible  -------------------     How would you feel if you know that numerous, eye-opening and life-changing Biblical passages are simply being ignored?

.

The Three Universal Laws°      ------   An overview of:   
The Law of Allowing,   
The Law of Thought,  and  
The Law of Intentional Creation

The Seven Principles of Hermes°        How to use  these seven principles to enhance your life -- Polarity,  Rhythm,  Vibration, Correspondence,   Cause and Effect,  Gender,  and Mentalism.

What is a Context?°      --------------    Why Are They Important?     
How do I Create One?

Chief  Seattle -- The Web of  Life° --   Human survival is dependent upon our living in harmony with nature.   

The Lunatic Fringe°   ---------------    In an insane society, a sane person is considered crazy.   Almost every major change on the planet has come from people who were considered eccentric.

Consensus --  The Great In Between°   ---    What is a consensus?   Why is consensus vital to human survival.   How to create consensus.

Who Can You Trust---------------     Finding Guidance -- Who Will Always Tell You the Truth?

 Prisoners of Yesterday° -----------     Cultural Heritage is Both a Blessing and a Curse.

Blind Idealism° ---------------------     Recent history gives us two, now-all-too-obvious,  examples of  incredibly-blind, short-term-gain/long-term-loss  
stupidity on the part of an American President.

The Three Religious Theories / Assumptions       ...

The Three Religious Theories / Assumptions

Each of the three basic assumptions of life, (Christian one-life-ism,   reincarnation, and atheism)  influence and control the lives of those who believe in them.  They are mutually exclusive and only one of them can be correct.   This leaves millions and, in some cases, billions of people basing their lives on a false foundation.

.

Three Religious Theories / Assumptions°   --      An in-depth analysis of atheism, Christian one-life-ism, and reincarnation.   Each assumption results in people living their lives very differently from those who believe in either of the other two.
