I think when you die, you see everything in 4D, this means that you understand every perspective, and see them all at once. This "at once" goes on for eternity, and is the ultimate present.
I see myself as a drawer of conclusions. My I dont claim any mainstream religion.

I believe I am living the right life, doing the right things for myself, that I married the right partner... Basically, I believe I'm approaching my life the way I'm meant to.
And I gladly acknowledge that I chose to believe all this- that it's based on faith, not facts. But life is easier this way.
Any of the bigger things, I can't claim any beliefs- that's all outside my jurisdiction, so to speak.
As far as Imagine's restated intention goes: I like the whole notion of universal connectivity. God is Self in its wholeness.
BTW, you all sound like a great group to hang out with.

I practice agnosticicm as my primary philosophy in life and my signature suggest interest in Taoism.
I'm equal part psychedelic shaman, yogi, and scientist.
Both science and yoga (Which is also a science of direct perception) have sort of merged for me and given way to the beliefe in Universal awareness. I pretty much side with ancient Hindu philosophy as a road map. I find reincarnation/rebirth to be satisfactory models for explaining the gross injustice in the world, but I realize that when fully adopted we end up with the evil of man made caste systems and BS like slavery.
If you want a religion then I'm probably closer to Hinduism/Janism that anything else. Like the Jains I believe that everything is embedded/sustained via some cosmic awareness. I view our individual awareness's as pieces or shards of a much larger cosmic consciousness.
I believe awareness is the fundamental particle. Note the use of the word awareness and not consciousness. Consciousness is a biproduct of the human brain. Awareness is the emergent property that binds everything together.

I probably lean towards Pantheism, as it just makes the most sense to me. But honestly I try not to think about it too much. What I REALLY believe is that everything is fine. I trust in the profound inner feelings I get that seem to say 'everything is ok, don't even worry, this is pretty much a dream and there's waaayyyy more'. I approach life as I would approach a good movie. I don't try and figure it out in the middle, I just let it happen because the guys who made it know what they're doing.

This is an interesting thread. I grew up under the rule of a mentally ill mother practicing as a Jehovah's Witness. Through education on other religions and culture, it became very clear that so many different "truths" couldn't be a once - at least in the form of religion. I tried to believe that I was agnostic, however, the sense of something else being out there combined with the logical conclusion that, statistically, we cannot be the only life in the universe has sent me on a spiritual journey. I do not know where I will end up, but the eastern ideals are becoming more appealing. I am searching for a healing spirituality. The Ayurvedic traditions are most interesting at this time and I recommend that anyone and everyone look into it as well.
