Is God a Person?

32 posts in this topic

4 urself,

In Egyptian belief, the god is Atum or adum who later becomes Amun, aka Amun Ra, aka Ammonia/ The Moon/ Mon (Reflection), and reflects the self? and will later go back to Atum because, hey, it always returning to the original&and thats just wat happens. So it makes more sense to refer to a person, otherwise we have a meaningless word, since these words like god, consciousness, et caetera, the point to an "all" like "the absence of light" like, its like trying to say "everything = one_word", which we already have a word for. That word is *everything*. Of course, these are like ques. asked repetitively, again and again, and even answering the question doesnt really get it thru or help. The real question you want to approach, hopefully speaking, you should be asking is about "the self" and your relationship within said self, and what you might go on to identify and understand about the (i) of the self. Alas, even that answer is insufficient and maybe further explored n' re·answered 4 urself down the royal road (i guess its kindve weird when you start from god. you have to start from self and then ask about god as an extension of the self, not the other way around)

4me personally

I personally think of god as a cyclical apóspasma or tasting, or sipping of the sea of time, the sea of confusion that we are all actively remembering and misunderstanding (maybe theres a better word, but im fine w/ the word \*confusion, that is simply, "a sea of confusion" to be); And we are the witnessing of said tiny, flowing circle of sea-like dream, whilst its maximized~such that exp. can be on the outer ring and remembered as (or retained as such)

Like, just to harp on the idea of a self now, say if we have~or want to reference our "soul", then we might go on to talk about how said *soul is "an immortal, eternal soul" (because notice, no one has ever said the soul dies ~ cause in some sense our use of the word "soul" carries with it the belief in something transcendent), not to mention its all as something we share as one.

By that same coin we could say that we are god and god is just one, but god is also the godhead that exists as a person in some spectrum of the word, so its leaning or extending outward, like i feel like im stretching my arms out to touch something when we invoke a god.

On the other hand, theres also a "spirit" which is more akin to "the spirit of the woods" or something pertaining to Earth (Gaia). That is, the spirit world, or the spirits of the deceased, or things of this nature. Like a spirit is animate, where as the "soul is guide", both to and from~what im calling "the sea of confusion":

ἡ θάλασσα τῆς ταραχῆς (h[ee] thálassa t[ee]s tarach[ee]s)

To me, everyone is to encounter "that which they didnt understand" in order to pass on, which is precisely what a sea of confusion would be—Ergo it is by default that one makes a proclamation about "life, generally" so we mine as well share what it is. So to again reiterate,

ἡ θάλασσα τῆς ταραχῆς (h[ee] thálassa t[ee]s tarach[ee]s)

To me, theres no equation where i can fit the notion of God in there, tho thats not to say it cant be in someone elses. I jus dont even frame it so~to make it a one-worded, conclusive ending, as i prefer to describe exactly what im feeling, seeing, touching, tasting or hearing, right in the moment. And, of which may sometimes take on apóspasma, thats sometimes the only way to introduce an idea, or to paint a picture in mind.

p.s. feel free to steal this if u like it, as i hav too many ongoing projects, and i want to detach from some of them such as this

Everything is alive at different degrees, everything is consciousness at different states and spaces.

Your experience right now is not material, it's a phenomenology, meaning sensations, a soup of consciousness divinely harmonized.

Be aware that this world/moment is made out of Pure Consciousness, then you're Awake.

Realize this present experience is a manifestation of Pure Infinity, making Reality totally boundless (no edges/end) and groundless (ungraspable/self-evident). Awake into higher and more complete orders of Infinity, Consciousness, Love, Truth, Perfection, strange-loops, and so on so forth.

Then by the self-touch of Divine grace, One may be blessed to be God-Conscious or enter into God-Mode. Here words lack description, it's hard to walk, hard to take the next breath, God's Immense Presence Saturates all of Reality. One is God, nothingness is God, All is God; God and only God, for Infinity.

Golden description @Davino, or should I say Divino.


In the Vast Expanse everything that arises is Lively Awakened Awareness.

if you're a scientific andy, not that much evidence of a God that more or less literally speaks the world into existence through his divinely ordained plan (at least that I know, maybe somebody could make the case better than I can).

Not exactly evidence for the personhood of God, but NDEs involving actual seeing without having eyes open or a functional brain are evidence of mental and perceptual faculties existing "before" the events proposed necessary by naturalism (according to the current evidence or paradigms; evolution and development of physical perceptual instruments), which could indicate that also other higher mental faculties (e.g. planning) could exist at the bottom of reality as a part of a "personal" God.

Meet people where they are at. If they want gods and gurus, give them. While people believe they are a body, you have to teach accordingly. If you are a body, you cannot imagine God otherwise since you think you are the pinnacle. If you tell someone, they are God, the ego will hijack the idea and run amok. Steps, stages, signs and symbols are useful tools on the way to the wordless absolute.

What is one to think of religious and spiritual discourse which refers to god anthropomorphically?

My own understanding is that such terminology exists primarily within a theistic and devotional context, as opposed to esoteric accounts of what is beyond even God such as the Absolute, the Unconditioned and Nothingness.

Well, if God is the reality the humans are an expression of the reality, are the reality in the form of an human, then there is no difference between god and humans, but you could say the same with anything else. 

The problem is thinking that, as the humans have a will, objetives, fears, desires, God aka the total reality also must have them. The absolute is not an individual that wants, but due it's limitlessness it's always expansion, movement, creation, coherence and synchronicity. The point is seeing that will, fear, desire, etc, are expressions of the limitlessness in human form. Reality in not personal, it's not someone with a plan, it's just unlimited. Unlimited means everything else.

This is an interesting idea. So God has no agency or will of (His/Its) own? Why does God have to expand indefinitely and explore all possibilities of consciousness? That seems like a constraint on God’s freedom. At the same time, I suppose it is infinite freedom to create reality…

Well, this idea of expansion and exploration can only occur locally. On a total level, expansion can only be total, since it never began. It's not something the mind can grasp because the mind operates within limits.

The only logical possibility is that the unlimited manifests within limited structural frameworks, but always with openness; nothing can be closed because that would be an absolute limit.

Reality, not being contained, flows incessantly and self-organizes into increasingly complex patterns, expanding. But this expansion is only apparent from a local perspective, since on a total level, expansion is absolute, never initiated, without progression. The unlimited cannot progress; it is already total.

The Jews naild Jesus on the cross because he said me and the father are one . They thought its blasphemy and now Leo is saying I'm God every five minutes it became redundant. 

There is this huge problem between Islamic sects over "does Allah really have an ass or is it metaphorical "?

 

I mean it's fair to call it blasphemy especially in those times. And it's also kinda correct, if he's God he can't be nailed to a cross.

Modern people are too atheistic and nihilistic to care about blasphemy. They have other false idols, but not God. If blasphemy has relevance today it is in the political sphere.
