Do you believe in God??

It is and isnt I suppose. Animals still get scared, but then what do they have to make them feel better, they cannot really console themselves...What about meat industry animals, that is not blissful existence I dare say.

Why are we so different from them? Why is it humans on this planet who have the god consciousness? Do you believe in reincarnation? If so, do you think it is possible for a human to come back in animal/plant form? If so, that may balance the levels a bit.

 

I do not believe in reincarnation. It makes no sense since reincarnation promotes the existance of time. Time is a human invention. A usefull one though, for our current society.
Reincarnation too is part of religion and religion is made up by humans. So it only exists in our beliefs and therefor it does exist.

And besides that, we always are. Now we have 'life', at other times we are just part of the cosmos. It is all the same.

 

Do you think I am you and you are me and I am him over there and you are...etc?

Thats VERY interesting about the reincarnation promoting time bit. I hadnt thought of it in such a way. But perhaps time plays a MINOR role in the universe, since it plays such a MAJOR role in our human lives...

 

Yes, we are all eachother, but not in the way that we are connected by our minds. In the way that we are all made up of the same material; call it god as you will.

In my world of thoughts, time does not play a role in the universe. There is only the moment of now, which means we do experience change and thus we experience time since those two are connected in our way of thinking.
The universe only consists of change, all the change is happening now. It always has and always will. Until the end of.... time.

 

the measurement of time in terms of hours and clocks and calendars is a human invention, but time is a thing of nature

 

Can you explain that?

 

the sun rises, the sun sets...days turn into weeks, into months, into years, decades, centuries, etcetera, etcetera...the measurements of how we perceive time <those words> are man made, but the universe controls time by controlling the moon's rotation around the earth, the earths rotation around the sun, etcetera....nature and the universe control time, we just put measurements upon it to try and grasp the concept of it

 

Touche..

 

Exactly. WE put measurements on it to grasp it.
So there is no time, just change.

 

alright but calling it change instead of time is just semantics

 

You are too witty for my pseudo-philosophy.
Just tell me I am right. :toetap:

 

you're the omnipresent bird, obviously you're right
i'm just a blonde girl
theres no contest

 

which god?

 

You have the better body too.
Godly even, to stay ontopic.

 

I think if we are part of some 'godness' we do reincarnate in some way. If 'god' expresses itself or is being aware of itself thru us, that makes us 'god' right. So when we reincarnate, it is not the person as a separate thing that reincarnates, but a part of this 'godness' that is. and since we are part of (or just are) this 'godness', it is also we that reincarnate.
Does that make sense?
Just a thought though.

 

It does make sense, but we do not reincarnate since we never ceased to exist.

 

That's the only one that gets shoved in people's faces. If you want the other ones, you have to go looking for them.

 

This I wont deny....going to search for yourself, I feel, is so worthwhile

 

If there is a god, hes really giving me alot of obstacles!!! ive lost my home, my job, and soooooo much bad things keep happening. i hope theres a light through this abnormally large fucking tunnel.

 

I can repect somone who has gone on a spiritual journey far more than a sheep who simply believed what they were told to believe.
