God

[Guest guest]

Alice says: >>Jung somewhere ? suggested that God cld be considered the Self of the universe. I like that!<< --Another thought: God is the universe speaking to man's moral conscience and deeper intellect, dissolving hierarchical power structures that are corrosive to the soul. The true Jihad/Crusade is the one to restore man's connection to the universe beyond his ancestral programming, before the rift between spirit and nature. Toxic cultural indoctrination, including masculine supremacy and the belief in hell, is overridden by the new code. Perhaps the meaning of the keys to the bottomless pit in Revelation. Hell itself is sent to hell, i.e. burned up so as to save mankind from burning in nuclear fire. >>"God is a circle whose center is everywhere n whose circumference is nowhere."<< --And whose

eyes are staring back at you in the mirror. We are identified with ourselves as individuals, but are in fact holographically encoded webs of information reflecting the larger universe, embodied as feeling and dreaming animals. When Islamic theory says one murder is the murder of all mankind, it's referring to that mesh of interrelationships and the butterfly effect which ties one sin to all others. Christianity points in the same direction. All have fallen, all are saved, by the same interconnected process. Would be nice if we practiced religion, instead of arguing over names and scriptural dogmas, both idols. Idols are mnemonic devices, remnants of spirit that become crutches and cause sacrifice to be shifted onto others rather than taken upon oneself. The book religions have given us the delightful irony of stone and clay idol-smashers worshipping words instead. They've given us a koan, and a climate of fear in which it is too

risky to solve. >>The ego just is not qualified to define this mystery.<< --And it misinterprets the prophetic visions, personalizing them or engaging in the sorcery of judging good and evil in others rather than living the good and walking the path of peace and reconciliation. The Christian Right will be shamed by the spectacle of its children loving their enemy rather than conspiring in circles to determine which Democrat will be the Antichrist. That irony will be one of the great cosmic giggles of the 21st century. >>The ego has to choose betw: There is no answer and There is an answer but I don't know what it is!<< --Very true. Those who search for answers are constantly told there are no answers to search for, that it's hopeless to try. But nature keeps telling us to try, despite the growing fear that it's too late or not

enough. We will arrive just in time, and are always arriving. We already know the answers, we only fear the consequences of knowing. C. Lockharthttp://www.soulaquarium.netYahoo!
