As we look up at the stars and wonder about the vastness of the universe, one question continues to puzzle scientists and spiritual seekers alike: Are we alone? Despite the high probability that other intelligent civilizations could exist, we haven’t made contact with any. This mystery is known as the Fermi Paradox. Why, in a universe so expansive, do we hear nothing but silence?
In today’s sermon, we explore this cosmic silence through both scientific and spiritual lenses. Could this silence be a part of God’s divine plan, a purposeful isolation for humanity to focus on spiritual growth? Or could it reflect the “Dark Forest” theory, where civilizations hide from one another to avoid detection out of fear for survival?
For us in the Church of New Enchantment, this question opens up a fascinating journey of reflection. We believe that the universe is spiritually alive, filled with divine energies, angels, and beings beyond our current understanding. The absence of contact may not be emptiness, but rather a sign of deeper truths that we are not yet prepared to understand. Perhaps this is an invitation to elevate our consciousness, to explore not just outward, but inward.
As you watch the video sermon, take a moment to reflect on your own beliefs. What does the silence of the stars mean to you? Do you think we are alone, or do you sense that there’s more to the universe than we currently know?
