| Re: Who is your God? (or not) From the book Gnani Yoga,The yoga of wisdom,by Yogi Ramacharaka.
Quote"There is but One life-a universal life-in the world.This ONe life is an emanation from
the Absolute.It infills all forms,shapes and manifestations of life,and is the Real Life that each imagines to be his personal property.There is but One-and you are centres of
consciousness and expression in that One.There is a unity and Harmony which becomes apparent to those who enter into the consciousness of the One Life.There is Peace and
Calm in the thought.There is Strength and Power in the knowledge.Enter ye into your
Kingdom of Power -Possess yourselves of your Birthright of Knowledge.In the very centre
of your being you will find a holy of holies in which dwells the Consciousness of the One Life,underlying .Enter into the Silence of the Shrine within"Unquote.
That just about sums up what this one here typing thinks about the thread title!
regards michael.

| | Re: Who is your God? (or not) So the one life is within the absolute, but not the absolute. That's what he is saying. It emanates from the absolute, by (IN)filling. The absolute itself, doesn't infill itself with itself.
So at the very center of our being we can find the awareness of the one life, which is a "passive reflection" of the absolute "actively infilling". We can also find this process at the center of everything in and about the universe. The infilling does not carry a substance, as the absolute remains the one and only substance. Quote: |
Enter ye into your Kingdom of Power -Possess yourselves of your Birthright of Knowledge.
| This portion is absoutely inaccurate and dangerous. Yogis get fooled the same way scientists get fooled.
There is no power or knowledge, at the center of anything in the universe. Especially our own power and knowledge.
The center only reflects out to the power and knowledge, which always belongs to the absolute.
We have no birthright, but only a gift, which is a "viewpoint" and nothing else.
We should be thankful for the viewpoint and give it freely, but never think we have any power or knowledge.

| | Re: Who is your God? (or not) Perhaps you have openly discussed what science has such a difficult time facing. Conceptions can have an overwhelming pleasure locked inside of them, and it gets released, for lack of a better word on an unsuspecting creation. Let's not forget the amount of information passed along in such a little wave moment of time. The Oh, my God! is a valid thought to discuss, even if it makes a little squeamish reemerge.

| | Re: Who is your God? (or not) There is a passion to the information. Communicating it is compassion.

| | Re: Who is your God? (or not) I can only believe that the genetic information in conception was packaged to deliver with minimal errors. I'm with you, the communication remains after the little sheepish giggles fade way away. With that said, I really need to return to the mundane science of it.

| | Re: Who is your God? (or not) It seems that there is a God One and a God Too.
God One embodies, spiritualizes, all the pure aspirations of our conception, the great inexplicable and overwhelming pleasure of being at One with It in the hope that the personification of this sense be a projection of ourselves into a transcendant form. He is hope.
There is a God Too. He who made possible the understanding of the process that got us this far, the encouragement of an evolution against all odds by way of intervention, the Hand that yet holds ours but allows us to decide for ourselves to accept Him as master and mentor, friend and ally, the progenitor of continuity and evolution of the spirit, and who even allows us to project Him into our soul mate. He is why we are good. Some day, not far but long from now, we should be like Him, and do the same for more life. He is real.
