About The Author

The author, Reverend Kenneth D Klaman, was born in 1944, on the north side, just outside of Chicago. His family relocated to California. Prior to becoming an ordained minister, he worked as an engineer and manager in both the electronic and mechanical fields. As an ordained minister, he graduated with high honors receiving a degree in Business Administration from Colorado Technical University. In addition, the author is an accomplished public speaker, playwright, theatrical director, and chairperson for local spelunking and computer clubs.

In 1970, during an intense period of studies, he awoke suddenly to a flash of blindingly bright blue-white light. Lasting only a second or two, it felt as if someone had just hit him in the head with a baseball bat! No, he was not having a medical emergency, nor was anyone in the room attacking him. Incredibly, during that brief moment he had been given an amazing gift. An astonishing revelation had somehow been communicated to him during that flash of light. The information was so complex it took several years of study in order for him to fully understand its depth and importance. His mentors informed Reverend Klaman that this was a period of enlightenment. The studies that followed included a span of 40 years during which time he delved deeper into theological and scientific research, questioning who we are and what God is, including the essence of creation itself. The works of the Dalai Lama, Albert Einstein, and Stephen Hawking (to mention a few) not only supported his findings and research but continued to motivate his quest, inspiring him to write this extraordinary book.

Preface

This book explains theology as it applies in our daily lives. The word theology comes from two Greek words Theos (or Theo) meaning God, and ology which means the study of; combined they mean the study of God. As a result, this book presents a practical guide in theology. As we begin to understand God, we begin to understand our spiritual relationships.

Metaphysical theology pertains to the field of study and analysis that examines the God-consciousness: its attributes and relationship to the universe. Included in this book are examples of divine happenings, which establish religious truths or enlightenment. Finally, this book discusses how FOLLOWING THE LIGHT can enrich our understanding of Theology as it applies in our daily lives.

FOLLOWING THE LIGHT describes how everything we do or experience is intertwined and affects our personal development. It discusses how metaphysics, psychology, physics, paranormal activity, and parapsychology interact with each other as they relates to our Divine-essence, or Spirit, from its beginning through completion. Further, we examine some common beliefs and misconceptions as they relate to modern scientific studies that follow metaphysical principles and practices. The author has included some of his personal experiences as examples.

Rev. Klaman had been meditating, praying, and studying—with a burning desire for the answers to his questions: Who or what is God? Why are we here? Moreover, how do Jesus, Noah, the Bible, parapsychology, paranormal activity, and science fit into this puzzle? He devoted his life to finding the answers, but little did he know he was about to receive them in a big way!

More than ever before, people today are asking important questions about theology that need and deserve answers. Identifying and answering those questions is the purpose of this book. This book provides the reader an opportunity to receive the benefit of learning the truth about God and our purpose in life, including how science, the paranormal, and other pieces of the puzzle all fit together.

Each individual aspect of this book is not intended to be complete, as each subject would compile a complete book within itself. The reader is encouraged to discuss the principles presented here and continue their quest by reading other books on related subjects of interest. You will learn that this life is your creation; enjoy it while FOLLOWING THE LIGHT!

Chronicle One

Enlightenment through

Knowledge

This Chronicle will explore the origins of creation and divine interactions, including how we interrelate with divine consciousness. Discover your own creation, why you are here and explore your destiny. Then, investigate your own inner power of creation. Moreover, finally know the truth about God. Is God an ogre or just a pussycat? On the other hand, is God something very different?

We shall also investigate the power of thought, including why it is important to keep a positive mind. Discover why there is no good and evil just opposites, the yin and yang, creating the challenges with which to evolve spiritually. Find out why we cannot consciously remember our spiritual life or preceding physical lives. Finally, this Chronicle answers the question: Why are we here?

Transcript One

Religion – Its History

Foundation

The earliest writings on religion reportedly presented by Moses between 1450 BC and 1410 BC became the first book of the Bible known as Genesis (the beginning). Genesis itself was most likely a consensus of many stories from just as many authors, including Moses, assembled into one book. The prophesies or stories were most likely first written in hieroglyphics, during the 10th century BC with the final draft being completed around the 5th century BC. Before that, the Shamans told the prophecies of Genesis. The first complete version of the Bible was compiled around 300 - 400 AD and was rewritten during the inquisition around 1100 AD. It was not until 1604 that King James I ordered the Bible to be written in English. This version was completed in 1610.

Genesis

Genesis tells us that in the beginning, God created the heaven and earth, day and night, the waters, dry land, plants, animals, fish and birds, then finally man. Man (Homo-sapiens), came into being about 200,000 years ago in the northern part of Africa by a female that is now referred to as the ‘DNA Eve’. There is reportedly a ‘DNA Adam’ from about 60 thousand years ago, from which we all evolved. From there, man migrated throughout the world. I question the statistics that support the ‘DNA Adam’, as the time required to complete the evolutionary migration of the world does not seem to support this theory. The closest pre species of man was the Java, Neanderthal, and Cro Magnon. The Java man dates back 1.7 million years and is the first Homo-erectus species, known to date. The Neanderthal lived between 230 thousand and 30 thousand years ago. Finally, the Cro-Magnon man lived between 40 and 10 thousand years ago. They all evolved from Africa and migrated northward out of Africa. The Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon man had very similar brainpower to us and were capable of speech. The main difference between the Neanderthal and us was that the Neanderthal was adapted to a much colder climate (the ice age) and they had less agility.
