God is not dead -- only the God we idolized, made something of, is dead. And good riddance. No need to dance around that Golden Calf. It is time for us to hitch up our spiritual britches and open to a direct partnership with our Source, with God. To move from that old servile consciousness and its I-It split to direct open companionship with The One Who Breathes Us.
To paraphrase Bob Dylan, the old order is rapidly fading. We are in a new world. A new consciousness is required. We have already achieved (or been blessed with) a planetary awareness. Now is the time to open even further -- into a cosmic awareness. Cosmic consciousness (as Richard Maurice Bucke calls it) is no stranger to many of us. Abraham Maslow pointed to its existence in his writings about "peak experiences." I have also done research in this area.
It is time for us to move beyond our petty games on this earth. It is time for each of us to actively generate our spiritual body. Consciousness is evolving on this planet. We either move along with this birthing or get left behind, dinosauric dregs of a failed experiment.
