| Life is is a continous METAMORPHOSIS |
Welcome to our Spiritual Metamorphosis page!
On this page, we endeavor to take a spiritual overview of the changes that occur in life, and must, so that the reader may have a better understanding of how to deal with real life ... as you step a little higher in your own spiritual evolution.
Below, are one or more of Rev. John M. Kohlenberger's presentations for discussion at a coffee house in the Prescott Quad-City area.

"Up to now, your religions have excluded the science, and science has omitted the spiritual. Now in 2012, the two are coming together, joining full circle. Your scientists are beginning to recognize that there is intelligent design in the Cosmos, and your religious leaders are beginning to acknowledge that 'you are not alone.'" - James Tyberonn

METAMORPHOSIS :
How constant creative change (forever) inspire by God is the art of Life itself
(The Art of Becoming!)
THE MECHANICAL ENGINEER: Back when I studied Mechanical Engineering, heat flow and "steam power", I learned how water not only has three forms (liquid water, solid ice and vapor [that you cannot see] or steam [which you can see]) BUT at a "triple point", where water is in all 3 states at once, not just one or the other, where they all coexist!
Later on, as I was pursuing a Computer Science diploma, I took classes in computer logic and learned about various kinds of "ands" and different "ors". Of course, later on, computer scientists came up with "fuzzy logic" which approximates our every day experiences; where it "isn't" until it "is"!
My world was expanding!
"If one believes in a God and/or Goddess that is infinite, eternal, immortal and universal, then that energy must be all 'inclusive/and' rather than 'exclusive/or' in its manifestations." - John K
Why are there Major Earthquakes; world-wide?
Life is a Balancing Act: Buddha (c. 500 BCE) taught the "Middle Way" as the way of balance. In a recent class about Geology, I learned that all rock types, minerals, chemicals form under conditions of local equilibrium (Einstein called this "equilibrium" a "local frame of reference", in his theory of Relativity). This process is what gives us so many life forms ... and personalities (including Buddha's.
Change is constant: All things physical form in a local (relative) balance; a balance of factors such as pressure, temperature, chemical, electrical, magnetic, atomic or a combination of these. Thus all "things" change as the world around them changes ... because they have to! Thus, Change is the greatest "constant" in the Universe!
Once anything is formed Creative Change Continues in a constant and continuing "Creation", as everything (including people) interact with the surrounding environment. This involves processes called Metamorphosis, Kinetics, weathering, chemistry, atomic structure, static charges & more. Thus, all rock types, minerals, chemicals and people re-form or change form (metamorphosis/transform) under changing, new or different conditions, as they become less stable now than before and therefore must "seek" a new state of equilibrium.
"Creation is on-going, thus divine truths continue to be revealed" - Rev. John K.
Discover The Alchemy of Life: Graphite transformed into diamonds at very high temperatures and pressures, are found at depth in the earth. This is how allowance and forgiveness become a part of our changing physical world ... and our own beliefs and personalities, so we may adjust to keep our internal stability. It is our own beliefs that cause our judgments, resulting in fears when the world runs contrary to those judgments and eventually it is our own anger that hurts us most. These all come from pressures, heat, emotions within us, fed by significant others around us and our own reactions inside.
" ... all of life has been created to return you to your inner most truth, and it will do that if you will but allow it to." - Donald Neale Walsch (Book III)
Thus, as the water percolates through the rocks and soil carrying trace minerals and concentrating them here and there, in this form and that form, so the enriching energies of spirit percolate through you, concentrating certain energies here and there within your DNA, genes, body (through the chemicals and magnetics of your emotions), mind, attitudes, beliefs, concentrations, through your life, forming who you are and who you're becoming; of course as guided by your highest desires, wishes and wants.
Know that all things balance out in this hear and now. But, this creates imbalance that needs rebalance in your "future". This is continuous creation! So it is that you need not worry ... about what you "should" be doing, your "mission" or "purpose", for you shall remake your world ... as it also changes you. You are the creator through the subtle energies of life itself, and your conscious creation changes it all!
The Mirror of Life: As you resist and fight life, movement and change, it all becomes harder on you. Maybe, like the rocks under your feet, you could allow yourself to become recrystalized, by the new pressures around and within you - and become a beautiful new "GEM" (God Energy Modified). After all, if God formed everything, then all is God, ... no matter what it is or isn't! ("GOD" = "Getting Over Denial" - Donald Neale Walsch)
So, What is Metamorphosis? It is the natural change within your energies, as you allow this, by replacing the judgments of the past with loving allowance; allowing all things to be in their own time and place, expecting a bright future full of options and opportunities. So, experiencing a job loss, disability or dis-ease is not a failure at all, but a golden opportunity to discover another, newer, better suited inner or outer ability ... better suited to the changed environment of your new life, as it (too) evolves. This is how to keep your RELATIVE "balance" or equilibrium ... the same thing that all chemistry, electricity, weather, water, biology and rocks seek! We are all a part of All-That-Is ... beyond all matter!
In the end: This presentation has been about how we, as Creators "made in His image", continue to create and transform our inner and outer worlds; through living, loving and real-izing the love light that we are - as we seek and find our inner truths; discovering more and more about Who We Truly Are! This is a "Metamorphosis", indeed!
Change allows everything to become more than it was before, as modified by life, light, love and inspiration.
Let change be your Friend, Joy and Blessing, for a better life!
Namaste ... Rev. John M. Kohlenberger, HHP
