not sure what your point is here. We love him, he aint going anywhere

well, we try not to teach that God is the ego...all the ego is, is God that has fooled itself into thinking it is some finite being that can have attachments. In itself it is nothing BUT an attachment. But it is merely a collection of thoughts. It is pure illusion. if you really sit down and self inquire, you will very quickly realize that all you have of yourself is thoughts. Even the soul is a thought. You cannot find yourself anywhere. There is a body, yes. But you are not the body. You cannot find yourself anywhere. So God is just playing games with itself. When it says that I am God, it is talking through an illusory veil. But it is that, it is that illusory veil. The illusion IS.

give the dude a break, he's growing up. He's finally showing some humility. Don't crap on that.

When i say behind, i am being metaphoric. God is not anywhere, it is omnipresent. To be omnipresent means it cannot exist in any one place. And yet, these hands type, these eyes look out. That is a mere appearance, there is really only Being happening, and Being doesn't even need to happen, it just is. But then, when you go full circle, you can see and say that God is a human. You see how elegant this solution is? God can actually talk through a human this way. And it can say things like, God is behind the scenes watching. In a sense it is doing that.

There's one difference between us and them, actually. We teach free thought and to look within yourself. We don't put Truth into "other". We tell you where to find Truth for yourself.

it's not real because of that - its just real because there is no difference between dreaming and reality. A dream is all that we have.

By awakening.

Maybe the God behind it is you. And God is expressing itself through the human element.

Exactly. Hence, I give you what is other wise known as reality. So you know the whole gambit now. It's all been exposed. The curtain was unveiled. But now try explaining this to your peers. They are knee deep in the illusion. Blinded by the dream.

When you awaken from your own dream telling the characters within the dream that they can awaken seems silly. But then you get immersed. It's all about being immersed.

You know God directly. All they know is something they have learned in a book.

I would hope so. You are imagining every word said here. You invented both of us.

Perhaps. Or perhaps you are just growing up. Forget not that I have more than a decade on you. You are brilliant- but still, I am God.

Realize that infinity is anything you want it to be. It's beyond your comprehension and mine.

It started because it could. God cannot not allow the finite experience. If it did it would have bias. And also because it wonders what it is like to be a particular finite experience. Also be careful not to take both versions as a belief. I can tell you did because you assigned some meaning to egoic solipsism.

This says it all. You're not gonna win because you want somehow for religion to be God. Religion is no closer to God than science.

Send me the hosting info and I will renew it.

No- I said the trick of the ego was believing religion had some higher place. That's only because you realized that religion is closer to God then science. You grew up a child of science. That was what you were raised into.

@Razard86 to futther this point grasp this: the reason you felt the church was more holy is only because you directly realized that God exists. So now - all of a sudden - religion takes a higher spot than science. But still- realize that it is religion and a belief.

You are completely missing the point. There is no physical house of God. God is within you. Anything physical that you walk into that brings you closer to God is the ego again wanting to grip onto things like the Bible. The Bible was written by a bunch of wise unenlightened men. Yes - it is holy. But you can see the holiness in your bedroom if you bothered to look. There is no difference between a Church and your bathroom. The problem is the ego comes in and makes it feel "holy". But really the house of God IS you.

The presence of God you are feeling is not because of the Christain Church. The presence of God you are feeling does not source from the Chrisitan Church. It is a trick of the ego to walk into a place of God after awakening and feel the presence of God more deeply. It is really within you. The house of God was always within you - it is the ego that gives it it a physical place in this realm with which to believe it is there. But it was always within you.

Going to a church will do nothing. After awakening to God - stepping foot in a Church will feel different. Because now you understand that God exists. But prior to that - stepping into a Church does nothing. If I am speaking out of context I have not read your earlier exchange. I'm just not sure if I have to.

The point is you entertained other possibilities. Many are completely closed off to this.

No. It was your open mindedness. This can't be given to you.

No one can talk Christianity out of you. You have to have an open mind and then be willing to do spiritual practices alone - by yourself - looking into your self. Meditation and self inquiry- to name them. You must be completely free of bias to find Truth. If your mind has binded to a particular belief then you are paradigm locked and will remain trapped within the dream. The only way to wake up from the dream to is be to be completely free of this, and open minded and curious.
