Hello fellow entheogen enthusiasts,
because of my family, who are in general conservative catholics, I find myself often in a situation where I try to explain the way I see 'God'.
It's always very hard for me to describe the way I see God because I see 'Him' in a very abstract way.
IMO the best evidence for 'God' is the sublimity and marvelous order which reveal themselves in nature. On the other hand my first DMT experiences gave me the insight that everything in the universe is connected and that all of our consciousnesses are connected too. It made me think of 'God' as the ultimate, infinite, all knowing Consciousness to which we are all connected with our own, very limited, consciousness.
I also remember the numerous times I heard in church that 'God' is love, this suddenly started making sense to me: 'God' was the ultimate love and we all carry a little piece of that infinite love in ourselves. This little, futile, imperfect piece of God's love manifests itself in the way human beings have a natural desire to love and be loved.
This is more or less the way I see 'God'...
I started googling once about Albert Einstein's religious beliefs and was excited to read that Einstein image of 'God' had some similarities with mine (Religious and philosophical views of Albert Einstein - Wikipedia)
In this wikipedia article I also read that Einstein believed in the "pantheistic" God of Baruch Spinoza. I started reading about Spinoza and found his beliefs to be very interesting and similar to the way a lot of nexus-members see God and the Universe. This is why I searched for any topics about Spinoza on dmt-nexus and I was very suprised that I couldn't find one. (Baruch Spinoza - Wikipedia)
So I'd like to hear the opinions of my fellow nexus-members about Spinoza, I'm very eager to see your responses about this subject because I think it's very interesting.
(PS: English isn't my native language so the article is a little incoherent but I think I made my core ideas clear
)
