Post #184 "Christmas-Reality or Non-reality?"

Again, what is Real? Is Christmas Real? Are we celebrating what we say we are celebrating? We say we are celebrating the birth of Jesus, the Christ. Or are we just enjoying being with family and friends, a celebration of human love? Either way, Christmas seems to be about love. But is the love we celebrate, either way, religious or nonreligious, Real love? Do we know what real love is or do we know Real love as we know Reality itself, which definition has so far totally eluded scientists and physicists?

Let's return to the religious definition of Christmas because this is the root, no matter how we feel or how we celebrate. Religion celebrates the birth of a baby boy in Bethlehem, as the Christ, as the Son of God. In other words, religion celebrates that God became man, That Jesus through his birth became humanity, that God, through human birth, became humanity, that God willing, out of love, entered our world and became one like us. But it doesn't end here? Does not religion go on to assume that we, in a sense, trade places with God? That as God becomes one of us, we become one with God?..........that we become God!!!??? Is this not the basis of who we think and believe we are? In our striving for Perfection are we not striving to replace God by assuming God's characteristics, by assuming God's persona, by assuming God's Perfection? What is perfection anyway but becoming God? After all, God and Perfection are One, as God is One.

So looking again at Christmas....is Christmas not a celebration of our ability to assume and expect, of ourselves and of each other--- Perfection? Is not then, Christmas a celebration of our accomplishment of attaining the fulfillment of our dreams, our desires, and, yes, our choice? Is not Christmas the celebration of humanity becoming One with God...of becoming God ?

Is this, then, Reality or non-reality? Can intelligence, can humanity, become God? Can what is image become what is Real? Of course not! Reality is Reality. Non-reality is non-reality. This is the proof of the Reality of non-reality, of the Reality of Nothingness. If we live within our own image, the image we have created, we cannot see or perceive in any way that which lies beyond our vision , beyond our senses, beyond our rationality, and way beyond anything we could ever dream, desire, or chose to be.

post #183 "The Search for Reality"

This writing is a presentation of thoughts and findings that flow from deep levels of consciousness and awareness that have seen the properties of creation: Time, Place, and Matter, as dreamed, as desired, and as chosen by the collective consciousness and the collective unconsciousness as nebulous and as image. These findings and this view flow from deep levels of consciousness and awareness that have removed layers of debris to emerge from bedrock and from beyond bedrock to that of First Cause. It is not intended in any way to present an argument, to debate, or to offer a persuasion, for if this were so, it would qualify as a religion or as a science or both. It is neither. It is, however, the accounting of a serious search for Realty...for the truth of Reality. This writing is the presentation of an alternate, of a search for another view, for another proposition. This writing looks for other answers to that of our contemporary ideas of truth that are totally oblivious of Reality.

This writing is for those who are not satisfied with what has been presented as fact and as truth by religion and by science, or any other source. It is for those still wondering, still searching. This writing is for all those who are still thinking that satisfactory answers have not yet been found. This writing is particularly for those who have been disappointed, hurt, disillusioned, and even horrified by what they have been given as truth. This presentation is another way of looking at what is found at bedrock way down beneath the layers of civilization. This presentation is a different approach of the First Cause that has raised the basic questions as to who we are, how we came to be, and as to what is our purpose. Other First Cause questions on 'good and evil' and questions on God, are looked at from a perspective that reaches way beyond the outer limits of religion and science. This search finds truth by looking deeper than surface truth at which most lives are lived in the superficial world of today.

Post #182 "Elimination of Reality"

One cannot become the other if the other still exists. In transference, the one desiring the transfer, bottom line, desires the removal of the other from the scene. There can be no transference if there are two claiming the same identity. It would be even better if the other ceased to exist. The other must be eliminated, one way or the other for a true transference. Removal of the other is mandatory. How can one claim to be the other without claiming all that makes up the identity that is desired, the identity that is envied? Identity is made up of the other's special attributes, all those attributes that initiated the desire in the first place. The desired attributes would include characteristics, possessions and all attributes. Only by the total elimination of God can one claim possession of God as one takes on the essence of the other and becomes God. How is this transference then accomplished? We all know that what is real cannot be eliminated. What is the real purpose for creation? Is the real purpose for creation the elimination of God? Is creation the act of building walls to block the presence of God, or better yet, of Reality? The walls of creation must be built that Reality will seem to be eliminated....will only SEEM to be eliminated. But the walls of creation or any other walls cannot eliminate that which truly exists in and to Reality. Its all just a sham, a pretense. Pretense...here lies the impetus and the means to create. What does intelligence create? We create what we desire. We create what we envy. We create to become that which we desire. We create what and when our desire is totally unreachable and unachievable and even, at a certain point in time, inconceivable. We cannot totally remove Reality. We can only hide behind the walls of our own building....the walls that remove ourselves not Reality, for Reality is. Desire cannot be inconceivable in Time, for desire begat Time as desire also begat Place and Matter. Time as place and Matter is nebulous and can be tipped upside down and downside up and inside out and outside in, the ending confused with its beginning and the beginning confused with its ending.

Creation begins with desire. Desire calls forth choice. Desire and choice are basic energies as Matter is energy. Matter is organized energy. Time and Place are organized energy. Creation is organized energy. Creation is information from the past, present, and future. Creation was created, is created, and will be created. Because energy has pattern, form, and frequency, it is information. Energy stores information, thereby confusing beginning with ending and ending with beginning. Creation is the effort and the choice of the collective consciousness and the collective unconsciousness; all consciousness supplying information, all consciousness doing what consciousness does, which is choosing

Post #181 "Becoming God II"

Knowing our inabilities, we long for Perfection. Longing for Perfection, we dream, we desire, we choose.... to create Perfection. Perfection is the result of our dreams, our desires , and finally our choice, for the function of Intelligence is choosing. Intelligence chooses. From how we perceive ourselves, others, and our surroundings, we create those qualities we feel will bring us to the desired Perfection. We create the qualities we wish to become. We find that we are weak. We desire power, so we image our dream of what all-powerful would be. Our God is all-powerful. We struggle with ignorance. We dream of what all-knowing would be. Our God is all-knowing. We dream of being accepted and loved. We find that we are destructive and mean-spirited, so we dream of being loved and all-loving. Our God is described as all-loving. Power is what we create power to be as we create knowing and loving and all the other characteristics we use to create our God. God is not what God is but what we need God to be. We create what we would become. We desire to be Perfect because we see our God as Perfection. We observe the God of others and deem that God, to be other than who we are and, consequently, other than our God. Our God becomes The God, become God the Perfect God. Any other God is a false God and becomes our enemy to be defeated by our God of Perfection, for there can only be One God and that God is my God.

God is the model for Perfection, but the model for Perfection as I see it. As we determine Perfection we create the attributes of God. Throughout history, each people create God as representative of themselves. Then they become representative of their God, as in attempting to cover up a great deceit. Is it not deceitful to play a game of attempting to be what one is not? Is it not deceitful to design and define characteristics of a determined God that one can claim as one's own?

God holds the qualities most desired by humanity. God is my God. God is our God. No matter what is said, God does not belong to the masses, however God wants the masses to belong to himself and is so led to declaring and calling a war in that God's own name. It would then be, of course, a holy war. My God works for me and, then, I work for my God. It would be very difficult to work for someone else's God. It would be as difficult as cheering for a team that is not the team that one supports and backs, and identifies with. Now the individual identity of self and the identity of God as separate from self becomes muddled. The lines become blurred. Where does self leave off and God begin. Where does one's identity become the identity of God?
