if we didnt fear it would be chaos now dont think this idea says this god should be done and thrown out just that there is not one right or wrong its in our head just anouther idea people want to belive

 

The Supreme Lord, O Sri Krsna.

Just try to love God, and you'll find the perfection of life.

 

Who is God ???

Take a look in a mirror, and you will see God staring back at you !!!

 

Damn...god is one hell of a good looking dude!

is in disguise"

George Harrison.

 

If I am God, as so many unintelligent people seem to foolishly insist on, then why am I covered in illusion? If I am God, then god is neither all knowing, nor all perfect, and thus, anyone who thinks "I am God" is fool number one, and also not a sane man.

 

Was Jesus sane? Was Krishna?

 

"God" doesn't have to be exactly as you define it. "God" to Darrell may have a completely different definition than the sterotypical god you are talking about.

To me "god" is the earth and heavens. It is the nature and power that controls us and reminds us that there is bigger things than ourselves out there. "God" is a tidal wave crashing down on millions, or a flawless sunny day. It is the light of stars millions of light years away, and the light of the sun that is the perfect distance from us for life.

I don't believe in any "being" that is god.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Good point.

 

To say that God is formless is to call everything God. I know I am not God, because I am still covered by the material illusion. So, if I am god, then God is niether all perfect nor all knowing. A man who thinks "I am God" spits directly in God's face. Just because we all have our own speculations does not make them correct. One can only know God through surrender.

Then ... perhaps ... that is all you will ever see !!!

Just because we all have our own speculations does not make them correct.

Tell me what you imagine surrendering to.
Are you sure you are not surrendering to your own imagination?
Would not acceptance do?
Would not active participation in the building of your imagination do?

There are tons of building blocks and architextural diagrams for your imagination. Apprentice, become a wise builder with knowledge and love for your craft and the one's that teach you so that someday you may teach another and be as deserving of love and praise as they are.

 

From the likes of the last two posts, I take it you both believe in impersonalism, 'God is formless', etc. You must hear from authorized scriptures such as the Bible, the Qu'ran, the Srimad Bhagavatam. You cannot understand God through your pride, your false ego, so it would be best to simply surrender those things now.

 

Maybe you say you are not god because you are covered by the material illusion.

 

I don't read such things, nor do I believe in them.

Then why not simply let go?

Instead of hanging onto (craving/clinging) this pride, this false ego, just let go. That way there will be nothing to surrender.

Then ... perhaps ... when you look in a mirror, you will finally see God !!!

With loving-kindness and compassion,

Darrell

 

No, that was my whole point. Once we let go of our false ego (our identification with our body, religion, nationality, etc), then there is nothing standing in the way of self realization. This absurd idea though, that we are all God, and that we merely incarnated ourselves into this material world to enjoy, is insane. This world is quite obviously not a happy place, having to suffer the pains of birth, old age, disease, and death. No sane man can find contentment in this material world.

 

"who is god?"

thats easy....ME!

 

Well, if you are "god", I must say, God is attractive, being a human being and all. But, wouldn't that make you a Goddess?

There are so many wise people on these forums, and yet they are still snagged by maya's last clutch, thinking "I am God". The first trap of maya is to think "I am this body", the last trap is to think "I am God". I only wish for you all to evolve beyond this type of thinking, so that you can become truly powerful warriors of light.

 

To think oneself is god, THE god, lord over the rest, is indeed insane, and is the extreme of egoism. I don't think anyone is saying you should realize your EGO is god.

The point is, this whole place, and everything in it, is god, including you and the chair your sitting on. So yes, I am god. But so is that rock on my windowsill. That's not an ego trap, that's an ego release.
