God Is an "It"

I believe in good and evil. I believe in the highest ethical behavior. I believe in life after life after life. But We the People of Earth should not bow down and worship, praise, and unquestioningly obey anyone...male, female, human, reptilian, grey, it, etc, etc. We the People of Earth should rule ourselves. I think that Jesus tried to tell us this...in a bit of a round about way. The religious people have gotten it wrong...and the atheists have gotten it wrong. I guess I want a secular spirituality which does not involve formal, arbitrary, and ritual religion. I can say more about this...but I'm tired...and I find this difficult to discuss at the moment. For now...see the statement below:

You're giving me an idea... Maybe I'm using the word "God" simply out of habit...

Hmmm... Food for thought.

Thanks for your post!

Very nice comment MyPlanet.

Col. Phil Corso told his son just before he died that god was the intellect. A child who died and was revived said upon passing over he stepped into his mind. Basically one could postulate that God is conscious awareness of an intelligent design that cannot be contained within the human concept but can only be experienced once one is free of ego (which are the prison bars of Cosmic Intelligence). However, mind void of compassion is not god. So perhaps God is an oceanic compassionate cosmic intelligence that is completely aware of all that is, ever was and ever will be.

Is God a CONCEPT

i belive so ....

all there is awareness

consiousness ....


i belive so..... ...the word

god always gives me the feeling of seperation

like a being.. a judge i dont belive in it ...

where as everthing is awareness ...

consiousness .....oneness ... i belive in that ...

a living breathing in the now ...complete one...being...

God is not him, her, or it. God just is. The Universe Creators like the one that created out local universe (GOD) exist in the 9th dimension and higher. These are dimensions that span the multiverse. At that level yin/yang, male/female is not part of the construct.
