Post # 411 "Do We Need God?"

Do we need God?

Does God  even Exist?
or
Do we Create God?
Do we Create God into OUR Existence?
Do we Create God as WE need God to Be?

Who or What is God?

If God Exists,
Does God Exist as God IS?

IF God Exists,
God, to BE God, Must Exist as God IS
and not as We determine God To Be.

If God Exists,
God Must Exist as God IS
 and Not according to Our Needs and Desires for what We Need God to BECOME,
that WE may Exist as God's Image and that as Image,
WE may BECOME like God.
and that if We Become LIKE God, We may just Mistake Ourselves FOR God

Do we Dream God to be what We hope to Become?
Do we Dream God to be All-powerful
that We may attain Power?
That We may attain, not just Human Power, but that We may Attain God Power.
Do we Dream God Immortal that we may overcome Death?

Is God SELF?
Do we try to identify Self with God?
It is said that we are Created in the IMAGE of God.
But is Truth closer to, --- Is God Created in OUR Image?
Have we Created God in OUR Image?
Does God resemble Our Dreams for Our Self to Become what we are Not?

What we are Not, IS God.
or
 IS God OTHER-Than-Self?
For here, in this precise determination, is the crux of the problem,
and here, in these questions, is the answer we seek.

Is God SELF
or
Is God OTHER?

Is God Other-than-Self?
Does Something Exist besides the Self,
If so, What, or Who, Is It?

God IS the CREATED CREATOR.
God IS the Creation of Consciousness,
God IS the Work of Consciousness.

 As Consciousness Dreams what it can BECOME.
Consciousness Dreams of BECOMING God.
Consciousness Dreams of Becoming God to escape its own Choice.

Consciousness is Duality as Existence is Duality.
Consciousness is Duality because Consciousness CHOOSES.
The Action of Consciousness is CHOOSING because Existence is Duality.

Existence Exists and Existence Non-exists.
Non-existence is therefore a reality of Existence.
Non-existence does not Exist in Reality but it is a reality as in the Existence of Reality
and the reality of non-reality.
.
TO 'BECOME'
or 'TO BE'
If God IS God, God cannot BECOME.
Only Humanity,
only Creation,
 can BECOME.
Can that which Exists in the Dream state of 'Becoming',
Exist in the Reality of 'What IS'?
The answer is, 'NO!'

'Becoming' suggests that insufficiency or instability or non-fulfillment Exists.
It also suggests that Correction and Change is Possible.
What does Consciousness,
What does Humanity,
Dream of Changing?
Above All, the Consciousness of Humanity, the Self of Humanity,
Dreams of Changing,
Dreams of BECOMING,
Dreams of Changing Death into Life,
Dreams of BECOMING Immortal.

 This Dream is exactly what Consciousness has Created God TO BE.
Consciousness has Created God to BE IMMORTAL,
to BE the Source of All Life, The Creator
and suprisingly, also the Master over Death.
Can Death Exist in the Reality of Reality?
The Answer is, ---'NO'!
Humanity's only Hope of Immortality is in
CREATING
A GOD OF IMMORTALITY
that the Self of Consciousness/Humanity, Can 'Become',
rather than BEING what Humanity IS..

Does God Exist because We Are,
 or do we Exist because God IS?

Do we Create God out of our fight for Survival,
Out of our Fear of Mortality?
or as the Focus of the Dream World in which we Rule.
In this Dream World, we Rule because we have the Created Power of
our Created God,
in a World in which we Exist solely within the Self of our Consciousness.

As Existence is the Duality of Existence and Non-existence,
so is the Duality of the Reality of Existence and the Non-reality of Dreaming,
Creation is the Dream-world of Non-existence,
---struggling in the Duality of Birth and of Death.
---confused with the Power of Life
---confused with the Power of Death.

Humanity has within itself the same Duality; the Power of Life and Death,
yet all Life comes to Death.
There is No Immortality in Creation,----no matter the Dream.
What is Image, what is Reflection, what is Dream,
CANNOT SUSTAIN
So, We Create God,
that through our ability to Dream we may Image what we have lost.
 What we Lost, we do not HAVE to lose.
We Lose because of our Duality.
 We Lose because We CAN Choose!

We can Choose what Consciousness Chooses----
Self AND Other in Singularity of Entity
Or
Self, ----just Self,
that with no Other-than-Self,
Divides the Self, over and over again,
because there is no Entity in what has Divided down into bits and pieces of it-Self,
each increment of Division,
Becoming a step closer to Extinction.

The Self in Singularity with Other-than-Self in Singularity cannot Divide
because there is no Duality in Entity.
What is Entity cannot Divide
and therefore, cannot Die.

 It is the Singular Other in Reality that Observes Self of Consciousness as Self.
Other-than-Self Witnesses Self as Self,
that Self can Validate it-Self as Self in Singularity of Entity.

This Self of Singularity Exists in the Reality of Self AND Other.
There is then, no need to Create God.
As God is the Image of Other in Creation
and only a Dream.
God is the Distorted Reflection of Singular Other-than-Self
Projected through Created Time onto a Created Surface
called Creation.
This God, this Image of Singular Other of Reality, is the Perception of Created
Self of Humanity,
as the Dream of Becoming 'what it is NOT'.
'Other' Exists in Reality in Singular Entity of BEING.

Do we need God?
Maybe its just a Choice to Image what is not the Reality.
Is not the Story of Humanity the Story of God seeking kinship with, or,
better yet, seeking to 'Become' Humanity?
And then, when the connection has been made,
between God and Humanity,
is not the Story actually that of Humanity Dreaming to 'Become' God,
-----the connection between Humanity and God,
---therefore Dreaming of Becoming Immortal?

Is this, basically, not the story of every Culture, of every People?
Is this not the Story of Humanity's Beginnings, Dreams, and Explanations of 'Why we are'
'Where we are'?
Humanity seeks God because Humanity Perceives God AND Power as ONE.
GOD IS ONE.
POWER can only be ultimately in ONE.
Power is a struggle that can be successful only when all OTHER Power has been conquered.
'Other' in Creation Exists that Self may Destroy Other,
thereby assuming Other's Power into the Self.
Striving to Become ALL Powerful as God.

Is this not the Story of 'What We Do' and of 'Who We Have Become'?
Humanity seeks the fulfillment of our Dreams through Power.
If we had Ultimate Power,
would there be a need for God?
I suspect not.
God And Power are One.
Somehow, if we can accrue enough Power,
we may just realize that Dream of, 'what we can Become'.

The longing for Power brings about our Thoughts and Dreams and the Desire for God.
Has the though not always been that if we Desire great Power
we must find or Create a God?
Thoughts of God bring about thoughts of Immortality
We perceive Power as the Saving Event to Survival,
as our basic instinct is for Survival.
Early Humanity Created God in the search for Power, the Power to Survive.
However for the Strong to survive,
the Weak must perish.
'Self's' Power can only survive on 'Other's' Vulnerability.

If we can amass enough Power we will overcome our Weakness.
It is Weakness that threatens our Survival,
yet we obviously cannot Survive Existence in only the Self.
The Self is subjected to the process of Division that marks Creation.
The Self in Self, alone in Self, will destroy Self,
 as Existence is Duality.

The Self needs food to gain Power to fight off Mortality-
the threat to Survival.
Self does not Dream of 'Nothingness',
yet has Created 'Nothingness' by destroying, for it-Self, the Existence of Reality.
Existence in anything but Reality is only Perception.
As there is no Reality to Perception, Perception, as Image, cannot Survive.

The Self of Consciousness has Choice of Existence in Reality or in Non-existence,
 in the Dream,
in the Perception,
not of 'What IS' but of 'What may 'Become',
 and in that Choice gains either Reality,
 or Dreams a Non-existent Existence in Created pseudo Non-reality.
Humans, as Collective, have Created a Dreamed pseudo Existence we know as Creation.
The Collective Consciousness has Created its own pseudo-existence
and Non-exists in that Dream of 'Becoming'.
As Noted, however, that Choice of Collective Consciousness, Collective Humanity,
is subjected as Creation to the characteristic of Creation, the Created
Process of Division.

That Process of Division Creates,-----that it may Destroy,
it-SELF.
Creation Exists that it may be Destroyed!
We Exist that we may Destroy!
But, we Destroy that we may Live!
 here is the reason we destroy ourselves:
When the Self of Consciousness Chooses to Exist outside of and beyond the Reality
of Self and Other in Singularity,
the Self moves into the Self.
In other words---the Self Divides it-Self as it has departed the Singularity of Existence
by Creating an Image that Divides down to its own Extinction.

Anything that Exists besides the Self is a threat to our Power.
Anything that exists besides the Self threatens our Survival.
Power is the antithesis of weakness.
Weakness is the antithesis of Survival.
If we Possess Immortality,
we Possess Power and we Possess God.

But if we have Immortality, we could not Exist within Creation.
If we Choose Immortality, our Consciousness Emerges from the Choice of the
Collective Consciousness and begins to Observe rather than to Perceive.
Humanity PERCEIVES therefore, that Power leads to God and God leads to Immortality.
Do not many of today's leaders confuse themselves with God
because they have amassed large quantities of Power?

We do not need God as much as we need Immortality.

But we cannot find Immortality if we do not first find or Create God.

Creation is locked into Mortality.
Immortality exists outside or beyond Creation.

The Creating Self of Consciousness has Chosen to depart the Reality of Existence
to Exist within the Self,
 thereby Creating its own pseudo-reality.
Not Reality, but an Image of Reality.
The problem is that Images have no staying Power.
Images are Images; they come and they go.,
therefore Images are Mortal.

What is Mortal Fears the Mortality that has been Created.
What is Mortal longs and Dreams of Becoming-----
guess what, ----IMMORTAL! 

How to 'Become' what we are not.
How to 'Become' Immortal:

How to undo the Choice of the Creating Self of Consciousness.
For Humanity, the plan is and has always been-------
to Find God 

or Create God.
Or Better yet,
To Become God!
 This actually is The Story of Humanity.
The plan is to Create God
that God Becomes Man that Man can Become God.

First God must be found
or If God does not Exist, God must be Created.
Once God is found or Created, Power is found or Created.

In God who is Immortal, is the Power of Immortality.

In Creation there is no Power without or beyond God.

If we are Immortal, can we be hurt?

Therefore to Possess Power it is necessary to find or Create God.

Creation has proved itself to be Mortal.

Mortal means to Divide down from a Beginning to Nothingness.

Humanity sees Nothingness as Death, which it is.

Death could be described as total Non-power, 

total weakness, total Vulnerability.

To find Immortality, the Power over Death, we must go outside of and beyond our own Creation, basically, outside and beyond the Self.

The Consciousness that Chose to escape Reality through Creation of its own Self-created 

pseudo-reality, Created the non-reality in which we now non-exist,

meaning we are Mortal!

God is therefore that Power that Exists outside or beyond that which is Created by Consciousness.

Finding God or Creating God gives the Self of Consciousness Power over God.

With Power over God, God's Power of Immortality Becomes the Possession of the Seeking Self.

In fact, God Becomes the Possession of the Seeker.

In Possessing the Power of Immortality, God no longer is Necessary for once Immortality is

achieved, God no longer has Power because Humanity Becomes God

Consciousness in Duality,
Exists in the Duality of Existence.
Consciousness has Choice.
Consciousness Accepts the Singularity of Self AND Other,
thus Accepting Reality.
Reality is Entity.
In Entity there is no Division,
there is no Duality.
In Entity,
there is NO DEATH.

Consciousness has Choice.
Consciousness Choosing Not to Accept the Reality of Singular Self AND Singular Other,
removes the Self from Reality.
Self removed from Reality Dreams a new Existence outside of Reality.
This reality has NO Singular OTHER,
and so resides only within the Self.
Existence in Self, Images Existence in Reality and Exists in the Non-existence
of Non-reality.

This Self of Self within Self NEEDS GOD,
because God is its only opportunity to Dream POWER
and in POWER, to Dream IMMORTALITY.
Thus in Creation Immortality is only a Dream and God is only a part of that Dream
