The Great Attractor; Is it Us?
How could any human not be attracted to a term as alluring as “The Great Attractor?” If one studies the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), a common thread among them is their belief in “One God”, separate and distinct from us, but inextricably linked to us through “His” omnipresence and omnipotence.
What if scientists could locate an unseen “attractive mass” with such great density that earth, our galaxy and all of the Local Group of Galaxies near our Milky Way Galaxy
were heading towards it at a rate of 600 kilometers per second? What
if it was big, unseen and had an attractive power that pervaded our
“universal neighborhood”? Could that “Great Attractor” indeed be our
long-sought God?
Scientists and metaphysicians tend to see things in
different ways. After researching the subject, we could not find a
single scientist on earth who has "connected the dots" between “The
Great Attractor” (yes, it is real) and the “One God” who is feared and
worshiped by a large percentage of the earth’s population. 
Although it may be attractive to think humankind has
finally located “God” right here in our own cosmic neighborhood, we
offer a different hypothesis. In our Theory of Everything,
we believe that the ancients had it right in the first place. Quite
naturally, with the instruments and technologies of their times, each
pre-Abrahamic culture saw the earth as the center of the universe.
In 1514, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed
that our Sun resides at a fixed point and that the Earth is a planet
which, besides orbiting the Sun annually, also turns once daily on its
own axis. Later, Galileo, Kepler, Descartes and Newton expanded on Copernican theory and solidified the scientific method as the “right way of thinking”.
As time passed, the great religions softened their own theories of creation, allowing for a “physical plane” and a “spiritual plane”. Earth was earth, heaven was heaven and mortal death
was the only way to travel from earth to heaven. Once in heaven, there
was no available “return trip” to earth. At death, the “game of life”
was over, except for those who properly obeyed the rules of their
chosen religion. Only those righteous and the holy ones received a
grant of eternal rest in a non-temporal heaven. In those times of
struggle, eternal rest seemed like a good deal and many sought that end.
As a result of all this jockeying for position, both here on earth and in the cosmos, Mother Earth, or Gaia,
as some prefer to call Her, became a proving-ground for the
determination of which religion had a better line to the “One God” and
what “He” wanted from us. The result was what we commonly call religious war.
In order to get almost everyone into the fight, the righteous
de-emphasized “religion” and we now have the simple and powerful concept
of “War”
as our rallying cry. War is now so popular that we have wars on
poverty, drugs, drunk-driving, terrorism and teenage pregnancy, not to
mention two separate “shooting wars” in Asia.
Interestingly enough, the scientists of our home
planet not only brought us the “right thinking” of science, but also a
steady succession of new and improved weapons for both individual and
mass destruction. It is to the point now where we, as a culture, devote
endless hours of cable and satellite television time to what are
nothing more than thinly disguised commercials for weapon systems development and the “practical” uses of those weapons.
Unseen
and unknown to those who have adopted hate as a way of life, there is a
consciousness rising on earth that is more powerful by far than their
desire to kill all who do not believe as they do. Early adherents to
this form of consciousness included Buddha (the Enlightened One), Jesus (Yeshua), Lao Tzu, Mahavir (founder of Jainism) and others of more recent vintage, such as Mahatma Gandhi.In our current times, such thinkers and seers as Tobias (via Geoffrey Hoppe) and author Eckhart Tolle show the way toward a new consciousness and a New Earth.
The New Earth, at its core, exemplifies a spirituality whose hallmarks
are peace, love and compassion, for one’s self, our fellow humans, our
earth and finally, for All That Is.
If we draw on the wisdom of the ancients, we will learn again, that “thought creates”. If mass consciousness creates war and disrespect for our living earth, individual consciousness, focusing on the goodness in us all, can create at a far more powerful rate. If “like attracts like”, as the universal Law of Attraction so aptly tells us, we “mere
mortals” have the power to not only change the world, but to shift mass
consciousness and thus, the structure of the universe.
As Nancy Clark, PhD, Director of Intuitive Energy Healing in Tucson, Arizona told me 
in
a personal interview several years ago, our earth is rapidly “moving”
to a point where it will be near, if not at the center of the Milky Way
Galaxy. Scientists will point out that earth is nowhere near the
creational center of the universe, as defined by the cosmic location of
the Big Bang. Meta-physicians, such as Nancy deal in a multidimensional
universe where the “center” of either our galaxy or even the universe
may or may not co-locate with the scientific topological center. In my
theory, I extrapolate from Nancy Clark's work to say that perhaps we
here on Earth are nearing the center of All That Is.Scientists have studied the one-dimensional “energy strings” of string theory
out to the point where they hypothesize several, if not many compressed
(zip-filed?) dimensions. Unlike normal matter, these compressed
dimensions hold enormous mass, but remain invisible to observers in a
three dimensional time-space reality (3DTSR) such as ours. In similar fashion, we cannot detect “The Great Attractor”, either visually or electromagnetically.
If thoughts emanate as energy, then they have mass.
If humankind has placed untold numbers of thoughts out there in the
universe, seeking God, is 
it not possible that we have indeed created the mass of “The Great Attractor”,
itself? Is it possible that we here on earth are now engaged in a
dance with “The Great Attractor”, where we mutually rush headlong
towards a melding with each other? Are we zooming towards it or is it
zooming towards us?

can our thoughts and aspirations of a higher order bring a universal
convergence of consciousness whenever we, individually and collectively
decide that, “it is time”? If we were to allow this change in our
thinking, might we indeed create a New Earth at any time we individually
and collectively decide to do so?
