I found God...

...and I AM He!

*Spinoza...eat your heart out!*

I looked for "God" in the sky. I looked for "God" in religion.
I found I gave up on "God".

I made fun of "God" only as the concept of organized religion.
I made fun of "God", but "God" IS fun.

That's the point, "God" IS.

God is not a concept. God IS concept.

God IS consciousness.

How can an atheist believe in "God"? I have found that I do
believe in "God", yet remain an atheist.

I am an atheist in the way that theology no longer represents
"God". I reject this undeveloped theory of "God". I reject this "God".

I embrace "I AM". I embrace "God" IS.

"God" created the Universe because "God" is all. An evolution is
part of the changes made by the consciousness of "God".

"God" IS the universe, the cosmos and IS the Creator. "God" IS
creation. "God" IS creating.

How did I discover "God"? By discovering I AM.

"I AM that I AM"

" I AM " the way, the truth and the life.

"Seek first the Kingdom of God".

"The Kingdom of God is Within You".

"You Are All Gods".

Before Abraham was "I AM".

You are "Sons of God".

I can no longer say that I "found" the way, the truth and the life.

But that " I AM " the way, the truth and the life.

No man can come to the "I AM" but through the "I AM".

You cannot become "I AM" until you embody the "I AM".

The "Kingdom of God" is in YOU.

You must find the key to the "Kingdom".

The key is through the teachings of "I AM".

The teachings, the "Word". The "Word" is with "I AM" and IS "I AM".

"God" is the "Kingdom". The "Kingdom" is "God".

"God" is the "Word". The "Word" is "God".

"God" is "I AM".

I am "God". Wow.

I looked for "God" in the sky. I looked for "God" in religion.
I had to look within. Now, "God" is everywhere.

Because I have learned to see through the eyes of "God".

 

Thats pretty good man something to think about


Thats kind of like pantheism... I like it

 

Damn, I just realized that I sounded a bit like Francisco.

 

Francisco as in a person or a forumer?

 

i thought you found him in a pill ..nevermind

 

Francisco the forumer.

Ah...yes I guess it doesn't matter what the "method" is, does it?

 

LSD is best for finding God.

 

Tat tvam asi - 'thou art That'

Aham Brahmasi - 'I am Brahman'.

Indian mantras.

 

Hey, Bill...remember my dream a few months back I shared about "Atman"?

Well, although I don't much fall into the whole "supernatural" aspect of things (as you know), I believe that my brain may have been giving me little tid bits of information ahead of time.

Thoughts?

 

I had to read this several times but I think I have finally got the gist of it.
I see your point Libertine.
Well said mate.

"God is a concept by which we measure our pain,I'll say it again,God is a concept by which we measure our pain". - John Lennon 1970.


Well I'm off........so long....God Bless. oops!

 

it can be ok to know the language that is i am , the i am that is word . of course it is a real language . all of life speaks , and we speak it as human .


wbo de qn te'un

a little bird would speak in dance , in wing dips and head bobs and fancy feet .

god is simple .

unlike standardized english , the word is not object-oriented . the expression of the word is a flow , old old and always new . in this is its peace : there is no confusion . what one intends , by every intention of feeling and spirit with a mind to what is , is exactly and effortlessly expressed as a flow of simple , direct relationships of the most elemental root ideas . it has survived culturally as prayer language , like it is sometimes heard in reggae music . in nature , every child is born with it . i listen to babies , and sing with them too .

 

Thats very possible I'd say. For one reason because the 'pure consciousness' to phrase it like that, is there all the time even if you're not aware of it.
It's possible that it has a lot to do with the the mind developing towards an experience. It's sometimes the case that flashes of experiences come in dreams - I've had that myself.

Also, there seem to be levels of consciousness where the usual rules of linear time seem to become less rigid. I think that's also perhaps why people sometimes have dreams which turn out to be 'prophetic', even if it's only on a personal level - dreaming of a person you haven't seen for ages, then unexpectedly running into them the next day, stuff like that.

It seems that some part of us knows things which somehow don't come the surface in our usual state of consciousness. Perhaps because we are too closed in inside our rational minds - and perhaps because as Aldous Huxley said, the brain is itself like a kind of 'reducing valve' which lets us see only what has survival value. Although the potential is there for a much deeper and higher consciousness.

 

Lib, you and I have generally the same idea here. When you look at God in this way, as being everything in the universe, the word God loses it's meaning, because that means I'm part of God too. The kicker is the whole deal with the universal unity and realizing we are all connected, fundamentally. We and the rest of existance are all energy, if you want scientific type terms.

Pantheism rocks.

 

Am I the only one who doesnt give a shit that I, and everything around me, are at the core energy, and thereby connected as ONE?

That doesnt do anything for me. No solace, well being, inspiration, or anything....

God is actually supposed to do shit, like make me win the lottery, or steer hurricanes away from where I live.

 

I found God...in a sugar cube

and in a bottle.

 

One of my Seminary professors quoted this today.

Namaste

 

Sister Bluebird flying high above,
Shine your wings forward to the sun.
Hide the myst'ries of life on your way.
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word.
What you don't know, I have never heard.

Starship Trooper, go sailing on by,
Catch my soul, catch the very light.
Hide the moment from my eager eyes.
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul.
What you can't see, can't be very whole.

Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember,
Setting up of other roads, to travel on in old accustomed ways.
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and
daughters that,
Knew the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed
ways.

Mother life, hold firmly on to me.
Catch my knowledge higher than the day.
Lose as much as only you can show.
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word.
What I don't know, I have never shared.

 

thou art god, is a half truith, but a friendly one. yes god IS fun, and you are not an athiest but an agnostic. someone who has discouvered there are indeed one or more things that actualy exist about which no one knows anything. one or more of which may actualy love us AND be greater then ourselves. may or may not have created 'our' universe, and or ourselves, but at any rate, at the very least, intends us no harm.

be warned, you can never objectively probe this, and most people who do believe there is something turn arround and blind themselves to what it migh actualy be, by insisting on its begining and ending with what they were taught, and never honestly questioned, to believe about it.

you are among the fortunate to evade such self blindness.

be carful though, not to grow arrogant of your good fortune.

for there are traps for the unwary in this as well.

tred lightly, and may always there be some beauty, even in the midst of pain.

why am i telling you this? obviously to tell it to myself.

=^^=
.../\...

 

Yes God is YOU, I AM YOU, we are all one consciousness beyond time/space and in all time/space...


what happened to the materialist Libertine I knew and loved? Did he pass away? Or am I just misreading this?

Did libertine get the cosmic joke?

 

Libertine,

Beautiful Koan. Thank You.
