About "Uninformed Conscience" John F. Kavanaugh, S.J. says "If a
nation or church forms its people to accept assertions blindly,
without supporting evidence, it will form a community not of moral
agents but of menaces. They may be sincere, but they will be
sincere menaces." AMERICA, June 21-28, 2010, pg 9] Conscience
speaks to the meaning of Eucharist. If we buy in to the Eucharistic
Theology of the Cosmic Christ, we must be open to the vital coinage
of death. The multiplication of many from one is the miracle of
divine/ human hypostasis, the miracle of the largesse of symbiotic
life. The amplification of life speaks to the truth that less is
more, that unless the seed dies there is no flourishing and
amplification of life. Individuality resources multiplicity even as
multiplicity resources individuality; spirituality is
resurrection-consciousness, the energy of prevision and provision
that does not die but transforms and transfers into multiplicity.
Resurrection is the consciousness of self-reflective vitality.
About Eucharist, right as grain says it best. It is in dying that
we live; it is in giving that we receive; that we become one with
Other-the personal oneness of Eucharist in the Cosmic Christ.
Wisdom is Eucharistic consciousness, the intentional embrace of
transformation. In mindfulness we become the "good seed" that
greens the greater abundance of life. The greening of life from the
dying seed informs the adage "better to give than receive." And so
must be our individual relationship with each other and nature.
What Self Donation Is is about living the fulfilled, abundant life
of informed conscience, not by blind submission to cultural death
as imposed by worldview blindness of staticism and centrism. Faith
in absolutism is blind; openness to evolution is visionary.
Absolutism misinforms conscience and cultures premature death;
transformation informs and matures open life.
When salt loses its savor it needs to be thrown out and
replaced-this is an emphatic lesson from The Second Vatican
Council, which addresses "joy and hope" in a faithless and
despairing culture. The shining light of Vatican II is a beacon
trained on the natural reality of transformational consciousness
that grows out of and thrives in beauty and truth. The beauty of
the moment, the truth of the moment is all that is and all that ye
need to know, for beauty is truth, truth beauty. A Tree's leaf is a
lexicon (DIVINICON) of symbiotic history. Leaves are pages of
durable consciousness that green freshly every Spring. Open to the
beauty, the wisdom of a leaf, and the destiny of the
blossom-HAPPINESS IS A LITTLE FLOWER GARDEN.
Fractal patterning is nature's way of economics, always tying back
to previous iterations of evolved energy/ matter. Ecology,
Eucharist and economy are of a piece in the "fractal iterations" of
symbiotic patterning. Holistic living is a patterned process of
"fractal rationality," the mindful linking of ecology, economy and
Eucharist. Mindfulness is religiously consistent by way of the
harmonized linking of communication, consciousness and conscience,
what is "Trimorphic Resonance." There is no renewable wealth except
that which cosmic energy/ substance provide. The balance that
sustains codependent life is natural economy; waste of resources
adversely affects the whole system. Nature's adjustment can
profoundly unsettle - as the signs of the times show. Humankind has
not yet grasped the control evolution holds over interdependent
life-systems. Runaway Corporate Capitalism (profit above all else)
is totally insensitive to natural ecology/ economy and to the
immorality of out-of-control appetite. There is, however, a
corrective that dampens appetites for power, profit and control,
and that is Eucharistic Altruism. Eucharistic Altruism is a
self-aware consciousness that owns a true sense of connection to
the vital economics of natural ecology. Nature's economy functions
on the principle that life supposes death as death supposes life.
The way of renewal is for present life to pass on to future life
lessons learned. Exploitation-for-profit is inconsiderate of the
future in its self-interest passion. When Eucharistic Altruism
controls, the uplift of evolution enables future wellbeing by
sustaining nature. Eucharistic Altruism is the virtue that compels
true religion - the hallmark of ecumenism.
The book chronicles exchanges between the author and bloggers on
the NCR (National Catholic Reporter) blog site (now discontinued.)
Exchanges are over upfront religious/ social issues. While strong
and varied views are aired they are respectful-perhaps something of
model how to reduce heat and increase light. Traditional religions
define faith/ belief doctrinally, dogmatically, and exercise
control over belief and behavior. As history shows, faith and
politics intertwine and agitate differences hurtful to people and
nature. Modern calamities can be redeemed only from within. Our
times confront traditions more radically than ever before, namely,
to awaken to sustainable perspectives of quantum physical/
psychical evolution. Remembrances from the past advance in genetic
codes and are "prospective," open to hope. Leaves are genetic
lexicons on the Tree of Life. We need to learn nature's economies
of building on patterns of sustainable energy use. Evolution's
learning lets us anticipate the future and avoid imprisonment of
thought fixation. Evolution is symbiotic intelligence, nature's
pattern, God's design. Evolution opens to symbiotic solutions only
if culture, religion and politics are open to evolution.
Evolution's outcome of processing interdependent life and
consciousness doesn't have to be terminally wasteful rather it can
uplift, enlighten and expose wrongdoing; and importantly, help end
bad habits, choose right thinking and keep hope alive. In regards
to thought-processing, latest thinking is a recapitulation
(reformulation) of prior thinking. Thought-updating includes
reformulations of faith, which is how faith remains vital and
religion is redeemed. If one is of a mind to move beyond fixations
of faith/ religion, one must admit the inadequacy of belief
constrained by fixations and recognize the need for moving on to
evolutionary consciousness. The important next step is to take
action, not alone, but collaboratively by group study and
action-the point of the Evolution Trilogies.
Deep-heart cosmic communication radiates truths of relationships
in-common and the fact that common ground is wave/ particle
pulsation sustaining and transforming all at the same time. The
light of the world is wave/ particle, electromagnetic photon. We
are the shining self-understanding of the cosmos, the scintillating
light of Divine Instance in nature. Shine on. Shine on, Oh Cosmic
Christ. The common anointing of universal priesthood is the
Christic consciousness of universal transformation. Green religion
is the essential consciousness of existence-in-common and the human
distinction of self-aware purpose in transformation and in the
fleeting reality of individual existence. The beauty, the glory,
this ictus in time is to be savored in the moment, for all
individual realization is in the moment. The past is non-reality,
the future is non-reality; reality is in the moment;
accomplishments and failures of the past project into the future.
The ascendant consciousness of self-reflection is the conscionable
responsibility of living mindfully, in the moment, grateful for the
beauty and the glory of being a crowning achievement of the past as
well as the hope for the future. The cultural spectrum is nothing
other than the grand evolution of the electromagnetic spectrum-the
ground-being and becoming of life. The greening of religion is
about the florescence of all life, always in process of
self-justification. Conscionable living is justified living.

RELIGION & CIVILITY: The Primacy of Conscience (the third book
of the breakthrough Second Enlightenment Trilogy) reveals
trial-and-error failures and successes of past and present
civilizations. Man inherits from nature hard-won intelligence
(cortical consciousness) to learn from errors of irreligion and
incivility. Though more painful, error is sometimes the most
convincing teacher. the trimorphic processes of resonance - by
which cosmic energy/matter evolves in conscious complexity. Brute
inclinations, sex, violence and instinct are background to
enlightenment. Steffen gives come-uppance to the frustrations of
patriarchal self-worship. The ugly sides and the good sides of
popes, kings and commoners stand to face bloodied truth.
consciousness, are looked at - upfront and close - and are
relegated to history in favor of open-ended possibilities of
evolutionary consciousness. Religion & Civility is a book of
epochal potential. It is powerfully indicting, powerfully
illuminating. From cover to cover it is surprising, even
life-changing. Cosmic Religion's First Lessons, and Quantum
Religion: The Good News of Rising Consciousness, also published by
1stBooks Library.
THE POSSIBLE JOURNEY is about war and peace, about disharmony and
harmony, about hate and love, about what we choose and by which we
customize habits. In the course of life, positives and negatives
get folded together in consciousness. We can blindly go on and
suffer the hurts of negative implications and impose them on
others, or we can search them out and remove them from the menu of
choices. Nature equips us to do this. We inherit an intuitional
capacity for symbiotic accommodation but also a strong inclination
toward hyped egoism. One is the way of love and harmony, the other
is the way of discord and degradation. It's not about God; it's
about us and our personal choices to become Godlike-or otherwise.
Natural, self-reflective evolution (symbiosis), the option of love,
is ours to choose. Intentional symbiosis is the way of Godhead
Harmony, the Way of WORD-LIGHT-LOVE. The alternative is the way of
waste, of personal and social degradation, the trinity of
ignorance-arrogance-greed. Coming to the wisdom of faith/reason by
way of trimorphic resonance is an adult, divine/human process of
consciousness, something larger and beyond the pablum of
institutional religion. Our choice is to continue on the way of
repressive Dominion Theology, imperialism and violence, or to
diverge and opt the way of Liberation Theology, love for one
another, openness and intentional accommodation. THE POSSIBLE
JOURNEY aspires to be a lifetime guide for growth into adult faith
and fulfilled living. Let it be your guide to the harmonic Way of
TRUTH-LIGHT-LOVE. Uncompromised Trust, fidelity to mutuality, is
the best option for developing the possibilities of life. For the
Love of God and for Peace on Earthchoose intentional symbiosis,
choose trust, choose life
This is a helpful first reader for anyone confused by other books
that seek to connect science and religion. The author's 'essential
continuity principle' provides a scientific basis for linking
energy and matter (earth) with evolved soul and body (spirit).
