The presence revealed as Carl Sagan had interesting perspectives after being in the Spirit world:
“It's funny. I loved studying astronomy and astrophysics. And I enjoyed teaching them! Professor of–is proudly listed on my curriculum vitae. I loved writing and producing things “Cosmos”-related. Even though this was my title and dictated my salary and income, what I really thought was much more a part of my “spiritual breath,” for which I had no name then.
To me, I exuded and “was” astronomy. It was more than just a passion. I was, much like those who are pilgrims of peace, seekers of economic success, founders of charities, inventors of machines or vehicles, or a million and one inventors who may have—through their visible ideas—doggedly worked to bring their creations to life! The contributions of many have undoubtedly made life on Earth easier and have contributed to our consciousness and evolution.
I had no idea how much more there was to teaching astronomy based on the limited knowledge we scraped together as course content, which we delivered with a more than modicum of passion for our subject.
When it came down to it, we knew very little. We scratched our heads often. We rubbed our hands together, rolled up our sleeves, and got down to the business of tackling the questions still looming.
So many answers are within reach Here, but many have not yet reached Earth.
How is it possible to transfer such knowledge to Earth?”
Mr. Sagan presented quite a revolutionary element of the knowledge he has received there!
“Might you wonder if I now believe in the idea, the concept, a being of “God?” While I lived on Earth, I held quite firm to wearing my badge of agnosticism; at the same time, I was a being filled with wonder and a rich appreciation for the cosmos. Then and there, I had no compelling reason to hold religion close to my heart—at least not the descriptions of God I had heard and somewhat explored.
What do I find here in the Spirit world? “God” is, as I kind of suspected, in my still-growing knowledge, the force fields of magnificent energies that nourish! These are pieces of the puzzle of the multi-dimensional worlds of discovery. Everything is “god” in that sense. The fabric of the universe, then, is “god” or god-like.
I never “saw” it from this perspective before—while living on Earth. But there is a Oneness in the play of the stars and the galaxies. There is a Oneness with our very own “star stuff”—a most unique blend of energies within each individual human being—connecting to other energies not alone in the Cosmos!
Our feelings matter. Our opinions matter. We shape the trajectory of our “aura” of belief—whether in sadness or ecstasy. This Spirit world, in its own right, is powerful yet works on “provable” principles. Its changeability comes from the evolution of ideas and understandings that people swear by, swear at, and might swerve to avoid!
But it is so much more than that!”
