| Who is God? |
Let me say right up front, there is no God. Not in the way the majority of Americans think of God.
There is no angry father figure, blessing the Jews and the Arabs and all of those he so graciously allowed to benefit from his petty rules and regulations. (The Bible says you cannot believe unless he sends his holy spirit to make you believe. It does! look it up.)
There is no Giant God with his throne in heaven and earth as his footstool, and no matter how good you are, you're going to hell if you don't kneel before him. (But you can't kneel before him, unless he sends the Holy Spirit to make you believe. The Bible does not teach freedom of will. Go ahead, look it up!)
There is no personal God who manipulates what happens to you when you wish, I mean pray, hard enough. But then again, your happiness doesn’t depend upon what happens to you so much as what you believe about what happens to you.
If there is a creator, it has to be feminine, not masculine. Perhaps it was a male and a female, but not a male alone. Male energy helps to sustain, but only female can create.
Yet, there are things about the ritual of religion that the human brain finds healthy, kind of like a tune up for your car. These things are singing, dancing, chanting, and meditation on solutions to problems. They work to balance the brain chemistry. They work when we do them alone in our living rooms but they work even better when we meet with the community and do it together. That is why you always felt better after a good church service - Not because there is a God!
But there are gods. There are deities that represent different types of energies. There are different kinds of energy. And we are beginning to be able to measure them. This is science – not wives tales.
When we fix our minds on these types of energies, we draw more of that energy to us. Now before you go off pooh-poohing me, read on. (I can’t believe pooh-pooh was in my spell checker!) If you are looking for a new car, don’t you notice the cars around you? If you want a new SUV don’t you notice the SUV’s around you? When you begin to draw out a certain type of energy, that’s what your brain focuses upon. Am I wrong?
Let me continue with the automobile analogy. Last year I was looking for a new car. Getting in and out of a car is very painful for someone with arthritis in their hips, knees and ankles. I loved those little cars that get great mileage and look so cute just because of their diminutive size. But I only had to try to get in and out of one Kia Rio to realize that it was not the car for me.
That made me want to see which car was right for me. Now when I looked at vehicles, I focused on how far they are from the road because it seemed that the higher the better, well, to a point. Yet I didn’t want a gas guzzler.
Now I began to notice that there were little SUV’s. I called them toy SUV’s. Now they’re calling them crossovers. When I first started looking for a car, I had no idea that they even existed. But the more I focused on the features I wanted, the more examples of what I wanted came my way. On that Friday that I finally blew the engine in my old car, I was able to hone right in on what I wanted and I was the proud owner of one of those tiny SUV’s by Monday. Oh, and, by the way, I got the price I wanted, too.
Nothing supernatural about it. That’s how our brain works. But when you think about it, isn’t it magick? I’m not talking about magic; illusions performed by a trickster. I mean the Magick of the Universe. That our brains solve problems, that our skin is waterproof, that our eyes project pictures in our minds and that combining acid with lithium creates electricity!
Yes, yes, it’s science that acid and lithium create electricity, but why? It’s enough to make someone believe in God! Here we are on this planet, upon which life has died out three or four times and here we are, again, alive. It is as if the earth itself is the creator of life. There is actually a scientific theory that the earth itself is an organism and we are like the little bacteria that live on her body, helping the process of life or destroying it, just like our bodies have good and bad bacteria. You can read about it here: http://www.unu.edu/unupress/lecture1.html
Were the ancients right? Was the old religion closer to the truth than the recently (comparatively speaking) created monotheistic religions? Is the earth like our mother and she is becoming ill because we have caused a chemical imbalance? It’s OK. If we change the atmosphere permanently, she will create a new life form to survive in the new atmosphere. She’s done it several times before.
That’s enough for anyone to think about for one day. Please leave your comments and if you find typing or grammar mistakes, please let me know.
