    Creation is extension.

    Moses asked, who shall I say has sent me. The reply, I am. I am that I am. Tell them I am has sent you.

    I am is the surname we all inherit in creation.

    This is what I meant by the way. That it is an excuse, and for some reason that seems to make it acceptable, which I don't understand.

    So dost thou presently createth thy god in likeness, or hast thou no favour to return upon the morrow?

    The morrow. To bestow upon the moment its coming by thy own. The past hath past, but thy future is not to be forsaken by thy present.

    Hummm. What past is not fashioned now and what future is not modeled on the present?

    No past is madeth anon, and all future formeth by the present.

    Don't know what madeth anon means.
    The future and the past exist only as echos of current emergence, artifacts of the present.

    Religion isn't the problem, blind following of it is the problem. Like thinking the bible is the ultimate guide to life, because the bible says its the ultimate guide to life, or because the preacher says its the ultimate guide to life.

    Their is real spirituality and you do need anything but yourself to find it. And if you do find it in yourself, things like the bible make a lot more sense. Then it isn't just stories and metaphors, its becomes more like a map to the experience, a finger pointing at the moon.

    So if you go to church because your supposed to go to church to be a good person, then you blind and ill. If you go to church because you can feel something of the divine their, because you can feel it in your soul, because you feel more connected to the people around you, then that is the real reason to go.

    I myself had never felt anything from religion growing up rather then church was the most boring place on earth, and the eternal question plagued my mind, if god created us, who created god?

    It wasn't until the psychedelic experience that I actually experienced something of the divine. A real experience where I actually saw what Jesus was talking about. I got to the Nirvana Buddha was talking about. The metaphors suddenly became reality. You are light, energy, consciousness, you are not separate from what you call god.

    If you have the real experience, then the bible, the sutras, the quran, are actual reports of something. Their like extensive trip reports!

    Now the whole politics of religion is corrupt. Blind leading the blind. It poisons more minds then it helps. But at the core of it all, its truth, absolute truth!

    Uhh, all the extra letter t,s in the above sentence?, makes me feel like I have hair in my mouth.

    Life is an instant. The next instant is patterned in large part on the previous instant but it is an entirely new instant.
