The Seventh Day

Hi I'm Ray Harris.

For the spiritually and philosophically minded out there, or for those who just like to ask difficult questions: this is my new blog. It will ultimately track the vast array of subjects covered in a new book I have recently completed, called 'The Seventh Day'.

This is the first edition of the Seventh Day, and it addresses the existing argument between Materialist Atheist Scientists and Religious Fundamentalists, about whether the Universe was really created by a Divine Being in a week some six thousand years ago. It attempts to build a third hypothesis, based upon an extensive study of Jewish Mystical scriptures and Indian Yogic tradition, and in doing so, re-examines our assumptions about God and Spirituality. It also attempts to reinterpret and decode the deeper meaning contained in the first three chapters of Genesis. This dramatically reveals many inconsistencies and absurdities that have been taken for granted for over two thousand years. It contends that the ultimate goal of all religions was not racial superiority, but union with God, and that this may only happen with the help of the Divine Mother. Surprisingly this knowledge is embedded in traditional Judaism as it is in the other major World Religions.

In this blog I will specifically cover some of the dozens of elucidations which are covered in more depth in my book. In this first blog I have listed four of them below and if there is any interest, in future blogs I hope to cover more of them. These are not meant to necessarily echo my beliefs, but represent interesting discussions I have had with people over the past few years. I am not an Atheist, but I do respect many of the very valid points that they make about religion and its more negative effects on the World. My book does not set out to provide answers, but it does pose possibilities and theories based upon wide research.

• Atheism tends to manifest as a negative belief system based upon the non belief in someone else's, often flawed belief system.
• Religious Fundamentalism worships belief, and thereby agrees to disregard common sense and the obvious, which denies Reality.
• Belief is not synonymous with Reality.
• God is not a supernatural Designer being, but is Existence itself.

'The 'Seventh Day' will be available on Kindle in the near future with a physical version to be published soon.

Thanks for reading.
