Corona Virus and God, the Universe

The Universe "God" works in mysterious ways. The Corona virus is just what we need to unite us in a common cause and make us stop what we are doing to protect ourselves and each other.

Well, since Abraham´s vision, Moses´ burning bush, Ezekiel´s awesome action figure vision, and Jesus´ "Our (Parent-Father-Mother) who art in Heaven," the Native Wakan Tanka (Great Sacredness), the Tao, the dharmakaya, Brahma, and so on, are a facet of the Universe identified as the Creator and Source, the phenomenological Universe and its lawful and emergent levels are distinct if we are meticulous in our thinking and reflecting. So, coronavirus fits the materialistic conditions that have been prevailing, and perceiving social networking, policymaking, and response reveals more how materialstic individualism, a form of ideological Scientism, prevails. Like UUism´s fairly underutilized Source 1, however, who knows that Harvard Medical School has a collection of dedicated-tangential spirituality projects because of its perceived desirability and measurable features, even though merely baby steps and perhaps widely unpopular in scientific circles? Meanwhile, anybody up for pushing the envelope to register the yoga practitioners living to close to 100 plus? Or that Herb Benson MD wrote his book The Relaxation Response in 1972 after studying TM practitioners, and OC Simonton MD and his then wife and colleague, psychologist Stephanie Matthews, opened the mind-body Simonton Cancer Clinic in 1971 based on visualizations and support groups? And part-Cherokee Lewis Mehl Medrona MD, PhD´s books like Coyote Healing? From there, "coming out of the closet" can lead to Louise Hay, Joseph Murphy, and back to 1875 when Mary Baker Eddy published her book for Christian Science based on her healing insights. Sure, listen to the CDC, wear your face masks, and quarantine. Now, though, you have heard from a little bird from Ezekiel 1-3. I hope people don´t say they never heard from a little bird. That´s in God´s hands. It´s certainly a default mechanism of life´s ecosystemic "bag of tricks" that acts like an electric hand shock-buzzer. The study of a religious tradition, especially Science´s own milieu of Judeo-Christianity, indicates important things of a spiritual and theological nature. First of all, that globalization and the Western superstructure culture that has now set the standard is secularized derivations and their deviations of Christianity´s multidisciplinary systematizing the uptake of ancient Greece, Islam and eclectics. That´s Historical Sociology, and additional interdisciplinarity. The modernized Philosophy of Religion includes the logical arguments that build off Aristotle´s metaphysics, the First Cause, as Aquinas did, and then DesCartes. That is in Jesus´ transformative legacy, that operates around his life, mission, and message to seek the Kingdom of Heaven, that God is a loving parent, and that by "taking the plank out of our own eye," we can love our neighbor as ourselves," which JC amplified in revolutionary fashion from a Mosaic teaching in Leviticus. Jewish tradition long separated the Divine Creator Entity and providential Source from the Created Universe that makes the lawful mechanicism of physical processes distinct from living processes, and then human psychosocial and culture ones, all through emergent properties. Spirituality and religion involving forms of prayer and meditation underlie Shamanism and the facultative practices that Jesus identified in a new way based on prayer and a concept faculty of the Kingdom of Heaven, inner, outer, and otherwise. All that was built out of a supershamanic foundational tradition and many unsolicited coherent prophetic visions that also have persisted after Jesus.
