God is your worse nightmare and your best dreams realized and unrealized. God is everything and nothing. I am god you are god we all are god. Jesus is god Satan is god we all are god. My toe nail is god and on and on is god and yet this is not god. Imho god is god and god is not god which is god. Amen which is god. My drunken stupor is god. My smiley and any other expression is god.

All hail to Dreamerman's toenail.

God is the self-creative ALL.

 

 

And this we are stuck in???? Omega'd ... jared and rattled by Tae Ruthless nature of it ... as the soul of such a thing we are told is just myth ...

 

Is this forgivable?

Teaching a teenage Sunday School class I put out a statement I had read that the only way to describe God was by using a double negative.  God is not nothing.   Any words you can use to describe God limits God in some way. 

Only one youth - an extremely bright boy who has since gone on to great things in the world of computers and medicine - got what the author was talking about.  The rest just stared until I went back to the suggested curriculum. 

But if I had just one person thinking after that class, I had achieved something important. 

 

God is not 'nothing'.   But to say God is 'something' traps us into trying to define what that something is.   Language is so limiting in trying to describe the indescribable.

 

God is ... that which is fundamental to existence; the creative forces that shape and unify the Cosmos and our lives; the creative forces that dwell in and shape our hearts (Love, Imagination, etc.); the beauty and mystery of Existence.

Seeler,

a double negative like the Complex "i" ... square root of the negative one ... and thus describing the origins of negative thoughts as sublime inner dimension.

 

Is it peculiar that without the Complex "i" we couldn't work with Electra, electron and other shocking devices like the Black Hole that may be centred on a boxed up Ego and not nearly as a superlative one that's out there ... knocking about somnolent heads in sympathetic nature that gives rise to para-sympatheic responses. Some just react emotionaly without reason ... irrational Nos?

 

Is a brae'n storm like a two way thought? That allows equity like"="! Then there are the one-way gang and monoliths ... sometimes called colossus of error ... stoics that refuse to learn ... evil knowledge thing and thus life goes out of the stone ...

 

Where does IÐ go ... few would concern theirselves with that as future things don't bother those presently stuck!

 

Some of us believe in moving on with due care that you don't upset the statutes and pious ... but then some of them wouldn't understand an upset or inversion of emotions any way it came ... just can't see those things ... don't look, don't listen don't even speak of life lost ... not a concern to themas they are presently stuck in this odd situation ... if you thought it would get you out of it ... and what's out there? It's a myth ... though Webster called it intelligence ... all that's beyond mortal wiles ...

 

Hi seeler:

 

Nothing and everything are diametric opposites that complement each other. God is not an absolute nothing; God is the nothing that became everything, and is everything. The totality of being. Being. Existence.

 

 

"I AM"

-God (according to Moses)

 

Moses or Muses?

Both!

 

ARM,

Eyore making me giggle like a fine booty ...

I like the first words of the Bible - Genesis   "In the beginning, God"

 

In the beginning - before anything - before cosmic dust - before the big bang - before ?  

In the beginning, God"

Not just my toenail but every living thing's toenail. When I say god is all I mean ALL It can't be limited.

all hail the co(s)mic Toenail!

 

may it never become ingrown

 

But it already is, Inna. Inverse space, eh?

God is Truth.

-paradox3

 

God is an atheist.

-Arminius

 

 

God is really out there ... not confined by a long shot ... such is the climax ... sort of an ongoing Maxim!

 

A po' ETic burp and fart after consuming the oddity chi created as a weird thought ... and you know how mortals are about alien though patterns ... UFO-fears?

 

They quickly vanish as we are good at denial! Thus they were onyx'd to something else again ... a conjugation difficult to describe little more define ... if you've ever been out there in the depths of unconscious intelligence ... things we don't know ... by choice ... blame it on your parietal screw up ... you know that veil inbetween times!

God is every religion and religious thought or action. God is anything and everything. God is one, two, three or a trillion and on and on it goes. So god is not only in all but is all. Could this idea become a religion and if so are there any takers?

Hi dreamerman:

 

A few decades ago it was motioned that "God is ALL" or "The Unity of Being" be endorsed by the United Nations as a universal religion, with meditation as its universal practice. Unfortunately, the motion did not get majority support.

 

 

Well that would have been an interesting concept. When I say god is all I mean all the good things and all the bad things. Anything that is real or fiction. God is unity of being, the cosmos, anything perceiived or imagined. So eveything is equal. Pretty confusing and yet so simple it is almost laughable.

You mean even the brightest of Gods has a Shadow? Well that'll be the all and the end all ...

 

Then in a group in our church a previous minister asked what God meant to us:

 

I said God is infinite (sort of tongue in cheek) thingy as most people can't conceive of a million ...little more unlimited things! The minister looked at me with a shocked look and moved on ... passin impulse of god for those that live inbetween such times of observation (science in on tradition) that many pious can't see ... alternatively you can call this stoic, blind faith ... a sense of denial ... proper non-sense? Never, never avoid the detailing ... Felix of Maan!

 

It is all in how you say it of course so put some humour to it ... if they take you serious they'll knock your head off --- roués of the Red Q'een satire for an illiterate bloody cardinal ... they're usually something other than how they appear in universal or protesting form ... God made both forms ... a sort of film noire or a dark veil ... as the Shadow Creeps up in non-existent word ... it is black and abstract as you may have noted and really is a stand in for thought induced brain ... and the spirit thereof ... a convoluted kahn space ... that's inner or below physically confined horizons like quanta dimension ... really nut'n to the Mr's Hype type ... if it wasn't love --- it wasn't a sin ... and thus the coming out season of the Southern Bell (fundus-shaped thing, like "X" marks the spot)!

 

It was reflected in Gone With the Wind ... as some projection of the Scarlet lady who didn't know what she had in the 1st place .. passions do that ... cause you to Luce it --- Lucrece (Allegory for the subtle folds in the story about the Grecian Urn; Omega when upturned)! I repeat one has to know the myths ... many are very dark ...

 

There was good reason for it not passing and I am glad it did not. I do not believe that the UN should be in the business of defining God any more than governments should be. Separation of church and state should apply at the global level as well as the national. That definition only fits a certain subset of certain faiths and is, to my mind, far from universal, even if it does concur, on a broad level at least, fairly well with my own faith.

Hi Mendalla:

 

Thinking about it a bit, I agree. It is not the business of government to determine what people should or should not believe. Freedom of religion, freedom from religion, freedom of expression, are basic human rights.

 

Although I envision a spiritual human culture, the impulse for it has to arise from within. It can't be imposed on people from the outside. And, once most people are spiritually minded, then this will inevitably show at the level of political decision making.

 

 

 

 

Yes it sort of tosses out the areopagite concept of freedom of thought ... even though many will tell us that thoughts are nothing and thus a great rift in the soildarity of cosmological psyche and a sense of soft thinking errors of heavenly fallout ...

 

I probably shouldn't say that as many here have little concept of satyr except to hate the wee daemons ... they haven't caught up with those collective words about loving and showing compassion to the alien ... so the mind remains only roughed up in version ... a really ticked psyche ... like gran mere's feather d'abba'd?
