Who are we?

Hey great topic! I have loved contemplating this ever since I was about 6 years old.

The Nature of God?

I call it "energy" or "source". Could never do the old white male with beard and penis image. Why would the all limit him/her/itself to one form when it can be everything?

We and it are all one and the same. There is no separation. we are made of it and from it. This is the more "eastern" way of looking at things as opposed to the "western" nature-and-humans-are-separate idea.

It/he/she decided to play.
it broke itself down into many particles and gradually created many forms,
gases planets, stars
then cells and creatures
Then it had even more fun learning to make itself into land animals
it learned to make scales and feathers and hair and all kinds of stuff.


and then with humans it figured out about how to create language. Wow what a neat concept! Now it could play even more wonderful games with itself!

It built in a "forget who-I-am-mechanisms"So that each little piece could rediscovery that it was part of the all or god-self anew. These awakenings and realizations were so cathartic and joyful it couldn't wait to forget so it could find itself again each life.

It decided to see how many different societies and languages and points of view it could be all simultaneously!

What wonderful fun to be able to be surprised and happy and sad and in love and at war and at peace and singing and dancing and building and on and on. It is a process of trying everything that can be tried.

So far it has created 6 billion or so humans out of itself and they are all different. It delights in the idea that there is endless unique variation in all of itselves.

but now it is getting a little less random about trying just any old activity. it is building a bit more sophistication and choice into it's human selves.

At this point it is beginning to discover a new beauty in individual ability to create its own desires consciously through a more advancing use of the human mind. Before it was unconscious in its separate bodies and under the illusion that stuff was just happening via circumstance, luck and fate.

But now it is evolving at a faster and faster rate. who knows what god/goddess/all will do next.?

It does not see things as bad or falling apart. it sees them as process and delights in how fast it is learning to play. To universal energy it has been a short time that it has been "playing earth" and it is getting to the good part very quickly and is happy and in love with all of it as a process.

You see it has the over all picture simultaneously with being in the not knowing separate forms. How it does this I do not know being in the not-knowing earth-suit format.

It is an interesting and delightful duality. How clever it is to trick itself into thinking it does not know. thus it can experience creativity and innocence.
It has the gamut of experiences from being a blade of grass to a whale to a human in Istanbul or LA...

But this is just one of its many opinions out of 6 billion. now it is your turn.

This is the goddess of flight. She is not real but an imaginary symbol of the energy like all graven images.
Kind of like speech which is just symbols for the things we are talking of and not the things themselves, eh?

Now,now don't get all bent out of shape at my pov.. oh all right do get all bent out of shape it is a fun way to play in your earth-suit,no? cause it feels like such a relief once you are over it.

I agree with all that you have said, some of your descriptions are right in line with my view.

So what are the chances that the creator you are talking about is linked with ufo's?

Ok I'll bite. In line with My Theory of the Universe; since we are all one big happy energy field/family there can be no UFO's but IFO's or Identified Flying Objects are most likely part of us too. Why not? We are making it up and creating it as we go along. It is fun and scary to think of creatures from a different planet. We are so parochial and young as a planet/universe that this would both thrill us and scare the crap out of us. just like those scary movies we like to watch. So yes Lets do that! Let's interact with IFO's, which are really part of us and not alien at all. Nothing can be alien when we are all one thing broken up into tiny playing pieces in order to have fun!

Surly we will find that these IFO's are made of the same tiny units of energy that we call cells and atoms and sub-atoms etc that we earth beings are made of. (That is when we do our unfriendly dissection process on the ones we catch.) When you get down to the sub atoms it is all just one energy playing at being different stuff. COOL!

Wallace wattles has a wonderful book called the Science of Being Great. He wrote the much more popular book : the science of growing rich as well.
He says that god has been doing this wonderful process and has got us up to this level and will continue to work toward more complex, interesting things as we go along. Instead of seeing things as going to hell or in a terrible state he sees all as good because it is part of the process of evvolving into higher and more interesting forms.


Things that hint at this are all over the place:
Busting loose from the Money Game
Course in Miracles
Zen Buddhism
EST
even Scientogogy
etc ad nausium all sort of hinting at and skewing the same theories that we are here to play!

But it is like trying to look at your own eyeballs with self same eyeballs... diffiicult,
like chasing and never catching the tail....
But that is how we set it up so it will seem really really real.

God I love talking about this stuff.

in gratitude for letting me spew.

Zoe
