IcerocketGod, as described by Encarta dictionary; the supreme being, the all knowing creator of everything in the universe. Verbiage such as used by Encarta creates the mental image of a separate being, a powerful giver of life. Herein lies the greatest obstacle mankind must overcome prior to embracing the God self. When we separate God from self we dis empower our divine nature thus enslaving ourselves to a world of fear and pain.
In fact an argument can easily be made that the concept of God, as defined in our modern society, has been a significant detriment to the development of our spiritual nature.
We benefit from finding ways to circumvent the images embedded by a language created from the bowels of illusion. When considering the power of words we must understand the need to sacrifice our current language in an effort to align with new more fruitful energies of truth. The great creator we call God does not exist apart from us but is in fact our very being. Every molecule in existence is God there is nothing that is not God. If one is prepared to accept and embrace ONENESS then by definition the God known and loved by mankind cannot exist. If ONENESS is forsaken in belief of separateness of God and self then illusion prevails. Again God cannot exist under such veils of illusion.
The only way to allow for the existence of a God is to redefine what God is. In doing so would it not be appropriate to rename this new entity, Bill, Fred, Sally or LOVE.
What else makes sense?
Lets look at the facts again; 1./ We have a being we call God. 2./ This divine God is defined by our society as being the great creator of the universe. 3./ God is further defined as omnipotent, omnipresent, eternal and all knowing. 4./ This God reigns over us standing in judgment over right and wrong. 5./ This God is to be loved, adored, respected and feared. 6./ Obviously this God we are to love is separate from us and must be obeyed.
What does that make us? Are we therefore products of a benevolent super being created then tested for the sake of amusement?
No such God exists, not now, nor ever in the history of mankind. If we release the word God then we may as a species have a better chance of breaking through the maya and illusion existing in the human mind. We will never release fear as long as we offer up scurrilous definitions for our most sacred conceptualisations. Our society would greatly benefit if we were to redefine and rename God.
Instead of God lets use the word Love. Love is everything, there is nothing which is not love. You are love, as is every molecule in existence, past, present and future. Everything manifest and unmanifest, every superimposed possibility in the quantum foam of potential is LOVE. LOVE I AM.
Namaste, from fear to love we redefine our world.

One is forced to put quotations on the word.
Thanks, brother Iam. True words: "the concept of God, as defined in our modern society, has been a significant detriment to the development of our spiritual nature."
We must reclaim the idea, and it's pretty clear and simple.
God is Being, God is All, God is One.
Let's do some Conscious Science!
good point!

I often use GodLoveUniverse :) What I find funny is, the only person who objects my use of Love and Universe when talking about God is my friend who is religious.
I Respectfully Disagree!

Namaste Brother,
I get what you mean, it is true that most people do not recognize the divine power instilled within each one of us. I believe in the divinity of the self, but I don’t consider it to be God and I truly believe you are committing the same fallacy you seem to be refuting. I personally believe in God as a separate being, and I don’t see how that contradicts my divine self. Every molecule in existence is not God, but rather a creation from God, You said: “there is nothing that is not God”, I rephrase it: there is nothing that is not consciousness.
Consciousness is the life force, it is the divine fabric of all that is, the Universal Qi but it is not God, but rather a creation from God, a manifestation of God and a way to know God. All things in creation are signs pointing out to God, but they are not God. All things in creation have divine traits, but they are not God.
You cannot limit God to any single thing except Oneness itself. Love is one of the characteristics of God, but it is not God, so is Wisdom, Justice, Beauty, Compassion, Grace, Peace, Knowledge, Awareness, Gentleness, and countless other characteristics, None of these is God, but they are signs of God.
Brother GodIAm, allow me to be direct and truthful with you, I think you are using the term God even more loosely than any dictionary, by using the term Godself, The term God is exclusive for one and only one entity in existence and that is God Himself, no one has the intrinsic right to be called God except God Himself.
Yes all things in the universe share One Mind, One Consciousness, One Divine energy, One life force, One Breath, One Truth, One Knowledge, One Purpose and so on, but these are not God, they are traits that display the Oneness of the Creator, they are blueprints and signs of His Oneness, they are the presence of his knowledge, but they are not God.
All the Universes in Existence, All the Worlds, All the creatures and entities, All the realities and perspectives combined, All that was, All there is and All that will be, is the blue print of God, it is creation and creation is divine, but it is not God. The Creation never ever becomes the Creator.
Creation is the divine fabric, it is Consciousness, but God Himself cannot be limited or equaled with consciousness or anything else, God is outside of Creation, Nothing in creation is God, and God himself resembles nothing we know. Calling things in the universe God or gods is a serious fallacy, perhaps the greatest in my estimation. Only one entity possesses the right to be called God, and that is God Himself.
The Megamind is not God
The Morphic resonance field is not God
The Collective Unconscious is not God
The Universe is not God
Nature is not God
You and Me are not God
All these are Creation, Consciousness, Native Intuition, Spiritual divinity,
But they are not God.
So what is God? God there is no god but Him, the Ever Living, the Ever Watchful. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. All that is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Him. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His leave? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, but they do not comprehend any of His knowledge except what He wills. He is God the One, God the eternal. He begot no one nor was He begotten. He has no equal and nothing is comparable to Him.
NB: Please read this carefully as one can easily get lost in semantic pre-supositions. Nothing is what it seems!
I respectfully rebut your respectful caution...

I do not subscribe to your suggestion God is somehow separate from self. Most religions will guide the follower down this road, thus enabling the church or chosen representative of God to remain exhalted over the parishioner. However, the beauty of this forum is that we may offer respect and consideration to each others views. With that said, if I cede to this one point (which I don't) I would also highlight the following. This blog is a reflection and condemnation of the church ( religulousness ) and its dogma visa-vis the deviously slanted presentation of God. Read the Koran, the Old Testament, the Torah, the Haggadah, the New Testament, I have. In these so called sacred words of God we find without exception a spiteful, jealous and vindictive God. How could anyone believe that God would sit in judgement over man? Next trick is always the carrot and stick slap up the side of the head, striking fear in the hearts of man about heaven and hell. How could anyone in their right mind believe in heaven? Don't even get me started on hell!
The vision of God as presented to humanity by religion is a curse on the well being of spiritual health. If you wish to debate this fact I would be very surprised, in fact I would welcome such a rebuttal.
So at the very least I believe we may agree on the essence of the blog. Also it is fair to say we almost agree on the point of oneness, with the exception that I see oneness as everything manifest and unmanifest and you believe that there is something which exists beyond oneness.
All that is left in conflict is the definition of God. I respect your reluctance to embrace your God self. There certainly are many reasons why people do not embrace their true nature, I would never speculate on why you fail to see beyond the illusion of separation.
Now in speaking more directly to your challenge, let us use a couple quotes from my favorite fictional character Jesus. " I am everything and nothing, the Alpha and the Omega "
" All that I am, are you, and more ".
Church and society have driven us far from our true nature MegaMind, I wish for you the very best regards, I pray that someday you may touch the beauty of your divine self.
NB: The definition of Namaste is ' The God in me sees the God in you '
Namaste, my brother MetaMind, from darkenss to light we evolve.
Sorry!

I sincerely apologize if I offended you my brother or if I came out too aggressive and disrespectful, Your blog in fact inspired me and triggered one or two epiphanies that I am immensely grateful for! I am with you on religious dogma; just to be on Evolver, it goes without saying that we have all gotten past the organized religion phase.
I am not coming at this from a religious background; I am coming to my conclusions from a background in the ancient spirit of Martial arts, Intuition, discipline, a study of history and world events, comparative religions and spirituality. The ultimate goal of spirituality (as that of religion ought to be), the ultimate purpose for Humans and all things in the Universe and the ultimate goal of Martial arts, are all one and the same, it is to change the self from Ego to Egoless; it is the unification and therefore harmony of the self (the individual Ki) with the Universal Ki (defined commonly as the fundamental creative principle permeating the universe); this is all known as the quest for perfection, a path to keep cosmic balance and harmony, a path which all beings, consciously or unconsciously must partake in. You see we live in a world of dualities, a universe where perfection is a process; it is never encompassed or attained, yet, at the deepest fabric of reality dwells the most fundamental force in the universe, the force responsible for life and consciousness; it is the life force, it is the Universal Ki, a perfect, indestructible, invincible force that dwells in all, but it is not all. If we were this perfect force, if we fully embodied it, there would be no need for knowledge or wisdom or martial arts or anything, our will would be a perfect replica of the will of the universe, we would be perfect and that is not the case. Our Self has needs, it longs for perfection and that perfection is sought through the training rituals we must undergo in this reality or this stage.
Why are we here then if we are God, why did we create this planet to shed blood and commit atrocities, Ultimately, do you believe that We created ourselves? That Together we make up God?
All this being said, my other questions to you are the following:
What is God? What is your definition?
What is this God Self you talk about?
What does it mean to embrace one’s God self? And how does one go about doing that?
I understand that these are very complex questions, so please take your time to answer them if you may. I am confused and your help is very appreciated here.
Thanks again brother,
Namaste!
NO NO NO NO NO.....

Please MegaMind, don't say sorry. There is absolutely no need, in fact I had to re read my response twice to see where I may have left abrasion. I am the one to say sorry for I have short shifted you with my response yesterday. Even as I was typing out the conclusion to my response I was lamenting to my wife the fact I did not take the time to properly define my rebuttal. In truth I felt I let you down but was too tired to start over or expand my views.
My father always said " Do it once, do it right and be done with it." I will now take the time to heed those sage words.
Firstly, all reference made to religious baggage was not directed at you but rather at humanity in general. I have read more than enough of your work to understand you carry very little baggage of any kind. You have a firm grasp on oneness and certainly comprehend the wiles of the ego. Your spiritual connection has been well defined by your other blogs and is duely noted in my memory banks (such as they are, lol).
With that said, I see in your words an early connection (possibly childhood) to the Koran. If I had to guess, I would say that you left the embrace of Mohammed in your late teens to search of something more truthful. Possibly your analytical mind wanted more comfortable environs. I believe, you have spent much time evaluating alternate religions. I think you skipped over Christianity as it offered much the same as Islam. Heading east, you found a great affinity to Hinduism. In the end I would aver that Buddhism is where your heart now resides, as is offers a fantastic connection to your need for intellectual common sense.
You suggest the ultimate goal of humanity is to transmute the ego. I certainly agree it is essential to identify the ego, as well understanding how the ego manifests illusion is invaluable. However, I believe there is no ultimate goal for humanity. To suggest there is a goal would suggest there is something which is needed, or more to the point, something which must be attained. Masters are funny creatures MegaMind, they always " need " their disciples to " do " things. In order to be a teacher you must have a student in need of advice and guidance.
A true master is one who understands there is great value in releasing the desire to " do " in favor of the allowing the freedom to " be ". I have never studied martial arts. However, I am sure most instructors would advocate that you first clear your mind and focus in the moment of NOW. Second, find balance, then third allow the energy to flow from your chakra. If you cannot clear your mind, you cannot find truth. Without balance, your Ki will not become channeled. Trying to capture, entrain and direct your Ki will only create blockages. The Ki energy is the divine self, the point of ultimate power. It must flow from the chakra unfettered without judgement. Physical matter is an illusion, there is only energy. The flow of Ki represents an esoteric and fundamental truth highlighting the illusion of matter.
I have never heard of the word Ki, so I hope I am using it in it's proper context. I submit to you there is only Ki, there is nothing which is not Ki. Ki cannot be created nor destroyed, it exists eternally in the moment of Now. Ki is GOD.
Let me now answer the many questions you posit. Why are we here if we are God? God in ultimate glory wished to experience being God. In order to do this multiple points of reference were required, so God created from his essence the heavens. So it came to pass a divine playground gave rise to experience. Remember energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, RIGHT. So the energy, or Ki or love or God or whatever you wish to call it transformed into the illusion of matter (remember matter is an illusion, only antimatter or energy is real). The universe was thus created and continues to expand then contract.
( reference is made to this by the Hindu religion as the breath of Brahma).
Of all the wonderous manifestations of God energy mankind is certainly very special as we have the capacity to reason and reflect. We are brought into this world asleep and our ultimate goal (if one is needed) is to wake up. Think if we were to be born with a true understanding of God self then what would be the point of experience. Choice in a dualistic world makes for a very entertaining experience, of that I am sure you would whole heartily agree.
God did not choose this experience for the purpose of bloodshed, maya is just a wonderful part of the dualistic illusion created by ego. In fact, if you take a close look at your perception of good/bad, right/wrong you will find illusion. Do you beleive in death? Of course not no one dies, this is just ego babble. Your body is an illusion, you are not matter you are consciousness. Advanced biology and physics can now prove your body is an illusion.
You talk of atrocities, again I see illusion, there are no such thing as atrocities. I see syncronicity and perfection where you see maya and atrocity. Each soul will leave this plane when it is good and ready no sooner or later. A man steps in front of a car, gets smushed and you call it an accident. I would say there are no accidents there is only divine choice, it was his chosen time to go. I walk around the corner and a criminal shoots me dead. You see a crime, I don't, I see my " death experience " as a wonderful and syncronistic event steeped in love. Do I wish for retribution to be heaved on my assailant, hell no, if I could I would happily kiss his cheek in thanks and gratitude for the wonderful dance. Truth be known there is no greater more wonderful experience than dying, I really can't wait it will be a blast.
Now the big question, what do I believe is God.
1.The Creator of all experience manifest and unmanifest, expressed as a field of infinite possibilities (Quanta Foam) in the eternal moment of NOW.
2. The Alpha and the Omega; every thing, every being, every action expressed syncronistically as energy in motion or love in transformation. There is nothing that is not God.
God self is simply the ability of one to go beyond ego thus understanding the true nature of the universe and knowing of self as God. To embrace the God self is to be willing to see past the illusions of ego and covet truth of ONEness.
In order to achieve God self realisation one must be prepared to search the spiritual path. In seeking truth one will inevitably find that there is only ONE. There is no separation whatsoever, you may see 6.7 billion people on the planet whereas I see ONE. You may see matter whereas I see energy. You may see death whereas I see eternal life. Breaking down illusion is something which can take a lifetime or a minute. It is merely your choice of perception which keeps you from seeing the light which you are. From darkness we reveal light, from sorrow we find joy. There is no need to " do " anything, in fact the more you do the harder will be your path. You will discover that which your soul is prepared to discover, no more, no less. If your soul chooses to remain vigilant in search of truth in this plane of existence then you will find an endless array of questions that MUST be answered.
I have been chasing answers for over 25 years, my thirst has only become greater over time. There is so much I just don't know, but what I do know (and what I am talking to you about today) I know very well. I am God, the Alpha and the Omega, I am nothing and everything. I am you, in fact we have the same name " I ". In my world there is no need for fear, no need for judgement, no hate nor desire. In my world there is only love in the eternal moment of NOW, won't you join me, embrace the God that you are.
Is not the best martial artist the one who understands how to balance energy? To encourage the free flow of love (energy) while remaining ONE with the universal Ki must be a coveted truism in your world.
Well my brother MegaMind I have always enjoyed your blogs. I value your opinions and always cherish the opportunity to commune with you. I feel good to have been given this opportunity to provide just repartee to your lucid and interesting views. May you be blessed with the gift of God self realisation, may there come a day when you see the power and light within. Or not, you see MagaMind there is nothing to do. You will end up exactly where your soul wishes to be and that my dear friend is a 1derful truth.
Namaste, my dear brother MegaMind, the God in me sees the God in you.
