I am hovering above an Earth-like planet, a place very much like Earth but without human beings. And I'm asking myself now where is God down there? Is God the animal in the tree? Does the animal need God? Am I the closest thing to God as I look over this planet? An animal may eventually evolve to become a thinking, speaking, loving creature. He wonders. He demands of himself an answer to the question,"What exactly is the star?" But before he can meet the answer he shall dream and in his dream he shall know God.
For me, God is an idea I have within me, rather than an elusive idea outside. In a real sense though, I think God is everything within view and all beyond my view and I am alive in the whole. In the simplest terms, God is the higher intelligence. Sometimes I am God, sometimes I must create God and other times I must meet God.

Re: Meeting God, squashing the mystery again
Sat, October 17, 2009 - 2:49 AMYes, that's pretty much it.
The heroes of the holy books, Jesus, Buddah, krishna, Ghandi are all the positive aspects of God and to truly be at peace with ourselves we use their example to guide us through our own lives.
I think it was Jesus who said that the truth is within yourself and there is where you will find the Kingdom.

Re: Meeting God, squashing the mystery again
Sat, October 17, 2009 - 7:10 AMI don't want to argue about the existence of a God but here's Christianity, finally explained:
The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
Makes perfect sense...
Other than that, I believe in the infinite fractal universe which some may say IS God but I don't see an intelligence just because something exists... A rock exists but I don't claim it to be God or even part of God but a part of infinity which is divine in it's own sense but it could care less whether I was alive or you were alive or not.
I think God to be a part of "mans" beautiful imagination that he has shown and exhibits in the form of poetry so well. Even in a perfect spiritual world, a God would be too humble and too perfect to even ask for us to "acknowledge" his existence... Once he wanted the so called "attention" for us to see and acknowledge him then he would quit being a perfect intelligence that he claims to be and if this intelligence is what created man on this planet, then I only see this imperfect being as another living entity that is just like us... Living breathing DNA that has an intelligence that created us in his laboratory...
God is a perception and this perception can give solace and peace just in thought even if the entity doesn't exist because if you think about it this "God" only exists in your mind so it really is a part of you, but without you existing, there is no God.
