The Hope for the Future

What is a Gospel? What does the word Gospel mean? The word Gospel means the good news. The good news is about the future. A gospel is a message of promise and hope for things to come and we in the Church of Reality have a gospel because we look forward to a wondrous future for the human race--a future that we as Realists will help create. Humanity is at a critical point in our evolution. For the last 3 billion years we have been the result of the Earth's evolutionary process. The events of our planet have caused us to occur and evolve. We used to be another species that life moved forward. We survived. We endured. For millions of generations life on this planet improved itself through selection processes. Those who survived and thrived became our ancestors. Those who didn't became food. We evolved communication and the ability for humans to network our minds together into a Tree of Knowledge so that we can explore the universe. As our knowledge grew and our technology increased we developed an awareness of our existence and a quest for understanding of who we are, why we are here, and what our place in the universe is. Humanity has evolved the ability to ask the Sacred Question, "What is Reality?" Humanity has arrived at a wondrous point in our evolution. We are at the point where we can build machines to allow us to do things that no biological being on this planet has ever done. We can leave this planet and travel to the Moon. We can explore other worlds by launching equipment into space. We can alter genetics to grow the plants and animals we use as food to suit our needs. We build computers that greatly expand our minds and our human network. We are on the verge of altering our genetics so that we will be able to create new life forms that are better than what we are. We are in a position to choose what we will become. We are the creators of the future of our species. Our future is what we choose to make it. We can and will take control of our evolution and decide what we will become. There is a price however. We need to choose wisely. We need to take responsibility for our future and our evolution. To do that, we are going to have to embrace reality and put out the effort to think things through. That is a reasonable price to have the power to control our evolutionary destiny.

 

The Gospel

Sometimes it's easy to get discouraged in the face of illusion but there's one thing to always remember. Reality is here to stay. Reality isn't going away. Reality always was and always will be. Reality was there at the beginning of time and will be there till the end of time. And no matter how many people believe in things that aren't true, reality stays the same. It is always there and you can always turn to the real world, embrace the truth, and we as a society can make better choices. Reality can change your life today. You can embrace it, explore it, own it. Thinking about reality is the joy of being real in the sacred moment. You can become one with the real world. Let reality into your soul and experience the knowledge that everything in the world is real. Reality gives us strength. it gives us courage. Reality gives us the true freedom to make the most out of who we are and what we will become. We owe our very existence to reality. If we reject reality, we have nothing left. We are surrounded by all this wonderful knowledge. Knowledge that we can grow, that we can share, that we can build our future with. We can use reality to build a better tomorrow, a world that we can be proud of and we come together as one people, as one planet, to live in peace and let reality take humanity to its full potential. We have the power to choose our destiny. To decide what we will become. Let us therefore make the best choice possible and let reality guide our decisions in everything we do. We can become the dream. This is the Gospel of Reality. Go forth and proclaim it!
