Did I not tell you we had god minds? You know you are seeing its incredible capability at every moment yet still ignore the potential?...One is asking you to join a god mind hive...
Can I ask you,
God,
does it have an existence independent of your mind.
Is the zone it shows up in your mind.
Is it of the nature 'concept'
Do you take on this concept as a belief.
Having done that do you move forward from there into the activity of assigning properties, characteristics and functions to God.
Have you a model.
Do you then live up to that model.
Do you fit your way of being into that model.
Do you set about instructing all and sundry in the sagacity of the model.
Have you given this model absolute existence independent of your mind conceiving of it.
Have you discovered throughout the many peoples of the World,
stark contrasts in 'God Models',
that have led to massive disruptions of peace,
unthinkable atrocities,
hatred,
resentment.
confusion.
There is another way fortunately.
Dennis,
I am sorry to say but there is no other way. Until you realize that everything beautiful you have seen, every intelligent thought you have had, every piece of music you make, is not "you", but are all manifestations of one, and until you call this "one" divine, until you call it the source of all things and creator of all things(that we know of), in which all things spring from and return too, then you are naming it wrongly. You are understanding it wrongly.
It is the definition of "God" and has all its qualities. You can name it or not name it, or refuse to attach any concepts to it, but it is what it is, a higher power.
A model? No. You think for some reason that just because the idea of God exists only in the mind and is only one of those fleeting thoughts and fleeting ideas, that it's existence is somehow hindered.
You are experiencing it's existence right now and are part of it.
The only thing I know is that I don't know. < true wisdom right, your thinking this line here is in support of your view.
in reality, the only thing I know is that I don't know anything but God.
There are only two things you can know in this world using wisdom:
"It is what it is, all I know to exist are these sensations, they act how they act....not a brain nor a physical form, not an awareness or a perspective can be known to exist for certain or can be found, just the sight of this thing unfolding now"
and
"God is" aka " The manifestor of these sensations is, the thing I am part of is"
Only two things.
The idea of god does not have an existence independent of my mind, if i stopped thinking, all existence of "god" and the idea of a "god" completely disappear, I am aware of this, yet look, even with this very simple idea that shows clearly how god does not exist when I do not have that momentary conception... I am still saying god exists. How crazy!
Forget your wording, your language, your previous ideas, your concepts about my wrong use of concepts, you are still being a "caught in illusions noob", wake up, don't be like them.
It is sad that so many intelligent men on earth have forgotten their source... just realize where you come from, and recognize its divinity.
All the atheists and agnostics are fools that are still caught in their intelligence. I previously thought you agreed with this.
