Well, my friends, let me explain thusly,
God, the concept that you have in your heads when such a term is used (be it, as you say, an intellgent being existing outside our natural world that JUDGES) of course does not exist - that goes against all the laws of common sense that has been the natural function of the human. The only thing that will cause someone to believe in something like that is of course fear - Fear of being alone in an alien world, being isolated, alienated etc etc etc
so in other words you all are quite justified in not believing in this 'God' - because it goes against your common sense, your reason, and everything of who you are....
However,
This concept of God, is in actual fact completely contradictory to the true origins of that 'Supreme Being' that has been talked about in every major tradition the world over for the past 50,000 years or so...
The reason it has been distorted is quite simple if viewed from hindsight - it is pure ideology that has been coerced and distorted and spat out as a form of Ideological State Apparatus - a term i'm sure you are all familiar with....
Ie. people have walked the Earth and have experienced and understood logically and empirically the true nature of the Universe and Reality (Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Siddartha Gautama, etc), and then there are some fellas down the street who've all said 'Hey! We can use this guys belief system to control people and lock them into a limiting ideological system! That means we can take over the entire of Europe/Middle East/Asia!'
"But how are we going to do that?"
"Well, take out all the parts of this belief system about individual freedom and how we're all the masters of our own reality and replace it with control systems - oh yeah - AND let replace love with FEAR! Then the entire populas will be afraid to do anything without the states consent! Then we can just control people! Fuck yeah!!
Two Thousand years later, people are still getting over it all....
So now that has been covered, we can move on. i'm sure you are all quite aware of how fucked up Dogma is, and how fucked up relgiious oppression is - and i'm sure you are all aware that religious fundamentalism and fanaticism and the very nature of believing too strongly in your own opinion is the scourge of the planet and our mortal enemy....
So, what is God?
God = Great Spirit = Godhead = Void = Source = Wu Chi = Brahman = Ram = Allah = The Beloved = The Supreme etc etc etc
All these concepts, carried by virtually every culture on Earth since the dawn of humanity, are all imaginative METAPHORS for something that has been observed experientially...
It is basically the Infinite Holographic Intelligence of the Universe operating as a singular energetic entity. I, for instance, am made of trillions of subatomic particles, atoms, cells, blood, lymph, organs, veins, arteries blah blah blah - yet, I am a singular human being, am i not? The universe then is trillions of seperate things, yet there is a whole that we can call the universe. Consciousness as we know it, is all made of energy, and there are levels of consciousness - rocks, earth, trees, animals, humans etc etc. What humanity has observed as 'God' or 'Spirit' is the entire universe as a 'singular infinity' - operating harmoniously together.
So when people refer to 'God' or 'Spirit' - they are really refering to subatomic particles interracting - the same as how when i refer to 'I' i am referring to subatomic particles. Every is energy in vibration, and there are differing levels and different 'dimenions'.
I could keep going but i'll leave it as that for now. Let it been known that this is what one observes when one studies the ancient Esoteric traditions of Yoga, Taoism, Sufism, Kaballah, Gnosticism, Alchemy, tribal 'Shamanism' and then looks at modern quantum physics. There is an underlying unity - all these things were dealing with the same reality that you and i are experiencing right now. The next installment maybe concerned with this: How does one quantify emotions, feelings and what we call 'Love' in this light? That fits into the picture too. You know many cultures had figured it all out for their simple ways - but this day and age we are incredibly complex beings with very well developed left-cerebral hemispheres and we NEED the rationale behind all this stuff.
Interesting, hmm?
