Maybe God is still searching for GOD.

So here's just a crazy example/idea to think about for anybody that's wants to ponder.

Many of us preach about the Single Divine Source which we are all eventually to yolk with. Well, what if this God wasn't actually the true source, but was going through his own journey to advance to the next level of his existence?

Like, think of it like this. At first the individual consciousness is like a cell, evolving from the simplest consciousness to a tissue. Than to organs, organ systems, human, star, galaxy, all the way up the heirarchy. Eventually all of the consciousnesses within this "existence" merges with God.

Then God finally realizes his truth, and all together (as a single consciousness/bliss/God?) we go to the next part of the journey (which before we thought that God was the end of the journey, final peace). Maybe now we are all a single "proton", acting as a single immeasurable tiny building block of the next highest order.

For forever, and forever, higher planes and higher truths.

 

But what I mean, is if when God finds himself, maybe that doesn't end a cycle. Maybe that's God's completion of his mission to find Truth.

Kinda like, God (which we see as the HIGHEST TRUTH) is wandering around trying to find his truth. When we (all of the "lower life forms") find our truth, it enables God to find his.

 

Does that imply that God, the greater consciousness from which all space and time as we know it comes, is finite and conscious of its self? That it has its own "life" and desire?

I don't know. Of course it is possible - what do we know? But.. I just don't see the Single Divine Source, as you call it, having will and desire, and thus ego.

However, every atom could be a universe, and our universe just a tiny atom in an even greater universe, and so on ad infinitum, in which case your theory is totally viable, although God would be completely oblivious of the existence of life in this universe.

It is quite an interesting question. At the end of the day, though, I think I'll dismiss it largely on the grounds that I am happy to believe that the consciousness behind our existence is absolute truth and love and nothing could ever be greater or more inexplicable

 

What is the point in even asking these questions? The more theories and beliefs you have in relation to what God is then the further and further away you are moving from the truth. You get no closer to God by asking questions about God.

 

I know, the only real way to experience God is through... experience....

It's just a thought question to see how people's beliefs are on this forum.

 

it seems to me that god must have many egos. unification of all matter, spirit, thought, whatever-a singularity, seems to be what our universe is headed towards whether one believes in god as a conscious being or not. perhaps the end of fractured perception, duality, plural individuality, will be god's/our awakening.

 

and perhaps it will be time to go back to sleep soon after.

 

That's what I'm thinking. Of course, none of it is possible to know for sure.

Maybe atoms are just sleeping Gods/universes, kinda like in the "all is conscious" theories.

Who knows.

 

especially when we are using simple, imperfect, human brains to forumulate these ideas. fun though, right?

 

This all truly depends on how you envision "god". As a being, enitity, force, or all of the above.

As a force, god would not have the mechanics of a living creature and therefore would not be able to realize anything. It would just be.

I do not flirt with the idea of god being a "being", not to offend anyone.

As an entity, god could come to its own realization, but it would be assumed that as it is in compliance with itself, would only be reassured.

If that which controls us, which we label "god", were to realize itself and be effected in any way, the result would identify some other force outside of that entity that allowed it to not be omnipotent.

In short, it would not be god. It would be a demi god which still works within the parameters of a higher force. GOD

 

perhaps existance as we know it is made possible through duality, a fracturing of the whole-god. this realization would be unification of the fractured pieces, or perhaps awareness that there really is no division. this realization would simultaneously be ours and god's, seeing as we are one and the same. perhaps this realization exists eternally as a layer of perception. perhaps this layer of perception is what we call god. who knows? like i said, fun to think about.

 

I think reality is consciousness. I do not believe in god but I guess you can percieve it as god. I've thought about god and the only thing that makes since is that reality is gods dreams and I say it's the only way reality makes since with a god involved because of the obvious fact of suffering. That is why Buddhists don't believe in god. I look at it like consciousness exists inherently and dreams infinite dreams because of the horror of the truth, kaivalya (absolute aloneness) which is another term for enlightenment. Buddha an elightened person translates to awake. We all dream it's common and we take it for granted and give it no value, maybe it's there and such in our face showing that everything is a dream within a dream. (samsara)
