Rocket Scientists' Guide to Discernment

by Michael Sharp

These days everybody and their dog has something spiritual to say. From churches to ashrams to the local New Age coffee shop, everybody is an expert, everybody has wisdom, everybody can “channel,” and everyone “knows the way.” And while the general expansion of spirituality is a good thing, not all people who speak may speak with the same authority, wisdom, or judgment. In fact, some people who claim spiritual authority and ageless wisdom may be as thick and clueless as the door stopper on the front door.The problem is, how do you tell?How do you know when someone is offering pearls of spiritual wisdom or useless spiritual chaff? How do you tell the difference between somebody who has resisted the temptations of power, ego, and lucre and somebody who would sell the soul of their own mother in order to make a fast buck or two?Well, Michael Sharp has some ideas about that. In Rocket Scientists’ Guide to Discernment Michael speaks about all the “discernment red flags” that you can use to separate the spiritual wheat from the useless chaff. Don’t waste your precious end-times time following false prophets, puzzled pundits, and bafflegabbed gurus. Learn to discern from a true master of modern spirituality. Read Rocket Scientists’ Guide to Discernment and find your own path back home.

About the author

Michael Sharp is a sociologist (a PhD from the University of Alberta), a "mystic," a husband, a father, and a teacher. he was raised Catholic but gave up religion and spirituality at an early age (age 8) primarily because of all the (emotional, psychological, and physical) violence and hypocrisy that he. For decades he floated between a materialist atheism totally hostile to all forms of spiritual belief and a laid back agnosticism where he remained open to empirical convincing, but persistently doubtful about the possibility all the same. Then, one day back in 2002 a series of powerful mystical experience began that totally undermined the materialist foundations of his scientific world world and sent him plummeting down the proverbial rabbit hole. From that point on his life change. While he didn't give up his job, move to a mountaintop, and don a saffron robe, he did shift his research and writing interests as "information" (and lots of it) began to flow.

The first book to flow from his 'mystical" pen was a new creation story, a new story of Genesis. He called this story The Song of Creation. This revised creation story, this new "song of creation, was different than previous stories. Unlike so many previous "mystical revelations" that had been corrupted by venal social and economic interests, this story flowed powerful and pure. The story was devoid of the violence, hierarchy, exclusion, and judgment. In this canonical creation story, nobody gets punished, and nobody gets "left behind." You can read the beautifully illustrated Song of Creation for free by downloading it (http://datadump.thelightningpath.com/...). If you like the book, please support Michael's work by purchasing a table top copy.

Michael's work didn't stop with The Song. Pressure to write was intense and the information was copious and so followed poems, parables, books, and even scholarly articles. He wrote the Book of Life: Ascension and the Divine World Order, Dossier of the Ascension, The Book of Light: The Nature of God, the Structure of Consciousness, and the Universe Within You, and others. Like a lot of true mystics of the past Michael's work is copious and sweeping. Unlike a lot of other mystics in the past, it is still expanding and growing.
