dailbirthawn said:I don't believe in the Bible or Christianity. I used it as an example. An analogy if you will. I really don't think it's possible to experience absolute consciousness with the perceptions of a human. To do so would require a transcendence of space and time. If this happened, one's perceptions would never shift back. They would never come down so to speak. They would stay, existing as everything infinitely.
Of course, I do believe that there must be something "outside" of "here." "Here" being a human body. Death is the closest we "humans" will get to "God." However, I suppose when you die you are no longer human, so my point doesn't make much sense there. Ok, but I believe we're evolving infinitely. God is us. We are not God. I would say we ("we" being the manifest) are a function. God is the graph. The function has laws, matter, dust bins, puppies, and equators. The graph has all of those things and an infinite amount more, but it should since it has limitless potential.
I do not believe that "God" is aware of itself, but is only aware through those "things" that are manifest. Intelligent creatures with physical bodies, stars, plants, and even those things that may be impossible for humans to perceive are all manifestations of God's creative potential. Perhaps our purpose as well as the purpose of all other manifestations is simply to help this God or absolute (un)consciousness become aware of itself. This goal is unobtainable with our human reasoning, but an infinite amount of time later and absolute consiousness can be attained through the manifest reality. So God must look like everything that can possibly be. Unfortunately for us humans, we can't perceive this. God cannot be "looked" at or even experienced.
i do agree with what you are saying..I think were just talking about 2 sides of the same coin.. everywhere i look I see dualty, which, upon closer inspection is what i think ties it all together into infinite unity..
