You could never see the truth in another's belief unless it agrees with yours. You are like Mhz with your own interpretation of your book. It is only relevant to you and nobody else.
Here. See if you can follow this stream of thought:
God:
What does the word god represent? For most people it represents an omnipotent entity that created the Universe but is not part of it, which takes a personal interest in our lives. That entity does not exist. It is pure fabrication by an immature, insecure ego that cannot come to terms with its own insignificance.
Let me put it this way:
Horton Hears a Who – Horton was an elephant who hears a voice coming from a spec of dust floating by. He eventually discovers that an entire civilization occupies this tiny spec of dust and they are calling out to see if there are any other life forms out there occupying other specs of dust. Does this sound familiar? We are the Who that Horton hears.
Horton is an entity that occupies a world with a multitude of other entities and this world is just a spec of dust to other worlds occupied by a multitude of other entities… ad infinitum. There is no way that the Who can comprehend who or what Horton is. In our terms, the Who would think that Horton was a god. But Horton did not create anything nor is he any more divine than any other entity.
Taken as a metaphor, the story parallels our own. We occupy a tiny spec of dust in an infinite sea of dust and we are trying to contact other specs of dust (SETI) to see if we are alone or not in the infinite sea. Our comprehension of the vastness of this sea is infinitesimal. We call this sea the Universe and nothing in it exists outside or separate from it. There may be other universes out there but that is a speculation that is of no use to this discussion.
In the beginning:
There was no beginning. There is no end – the very definition of infinity. There was no god who created the Universe if there is no beginning. It would be impossible, just as it is impossible for there to be an end. The space/time continuum is an infinite loop.
Now that we have disposed of the concept of a god, where does that leave us? Well, to answer that we would have to take a different approach.
Our brains are much like a computer and like a computer, they are programmable. We are born fresh, unprogrammed and innocent. We have not yet partaken of the fruit of knowledge. As soon as we arrive, our programming begins. We are indoctrinated into our respective cultures by those who have arrived before us and have, to varying degrees, already been programmed. It is like installing an operating system on a computer.
This is what has been termed the Matrix. The program predisposes our views of reality. This program has taken many thousands of years to develop. Everything is neatly packaged, categorized, named and divided into compartments. There are those among us who, for whatever reason or fluke of events, have escaped the Matrix or at least have seen it for what it is.
Many ancient cultures also had those who saw through the veil. Today we call them shaman but that is an inaccurate term. In some cultures there were those who studied and meditated all their lives to disengage from the Matrix. They were call adepts. No matter the methods, the end result was disengagement from the cultural program.
What one finds there is a whole complex reality far and beyond the Matrix with infinite possibilities and potential.
Spirit:
We talk about the spirit realms as if they are some wondrous and mysterious place beyond our grasp and elevate those who visit there to a higher status. But what is spirit? Spirit is conscious energy that can take on any form to suit the situation or the beliefs of the observer. That is why some people see angels, some aliens, some animals or plants, etc.
At our core we are conscious energy that has taken the form of a human for the purpose of educating ourselves in the truth of our reality, to realize who and what we truly are. And we are so far beyond what we can imagine with the restricted view we have been programmed to accept.
When you look at a solar system, you see almost the same configuration as an atom. If you look at a galaxy you see almost the same configuration as a molecule. One is the microcosm and the other the macrocosm. As above so below, like a Fractal that replicates itself as you zoom in all the way to infinity.
In the quantum world, there is no matter without an observer. You are that observer and everything you witness and experience is dependent on you to exist. Your existence is also dependent on an observer and it is dependent on an observer, ad infinitum. We are one spot on the fractal and yet, we are the fractal.
The point is, who or what creates this Universe is just as much a part of you as you are of it. If you want to call this conscious energy gestalt “god” then it stands to reason that you are also “god”. I prefer to view it as The All That Is. There truly is no separation. We are all One, just that most of us have not realized it yet because most are still stuck in the Matrix. Their ignorance of who they really are is causing a disturbance in the Force (Source) and manifests as destruction.
