your entirely rediculous, you know that. Your an eloquent speaker, but you cant communicate anything in logical terms. You spend alot of time saying I dont know how I know, but I just do, you know what I mean?
GOD is the wrong name to use as it was the ALMIGHTY GOD who sent use here to feel the dis-connected from him so we can learn what it is like to be away from him but are memory of him can be so strong we look for him and find are higher self who we mistakenly call god
Interesting talk, thanks for sharing. Sometimes I think the God.. or whatever youwant to call it is just the entirrety of this reality, without me in it.
In other words the imeasurable vastness of the macro-micro cosmos from the primordial singularity to the Big Rip with this one human being, being there to know that it is.
i have only english to draw from but i think this language is crafted so that the morphs in each word that refer to another...so that its a intentional agglomeration i guess i can see it in chinese because they have several formed letters that only differ by one jot...so it becomes like poetry...
Lately I have been conceptualizing the electromagnetic spectrum, or rather the quantum "soup" as an actively communicated language. Each moment is a new configuration of the constituents of an infinitely evolved and complex language of light, a story that is being told in the now, each moment a replacement of the previous by a "voice" that continues to sound.
Sorry Matt, I don't really identify with your description of my position here. I don't have the sense of relation to the universe you suggest and would describe myself as a philosophical atheist and political anti-theist. Many thanks.
when a person says 'God' it means exactly what that particular person thinks it means. And thats cool. If I think God is an old man in the sky then the word 'God' will carry that feeling in it.
If I see 'God' as the source of all cosmic energy then that to will carry energy.
Through meditation I have realised God is the energy that is within me which is part of a whole in the same way the hand is part of a whole body. All parts working in unison.
@sweeetly Why does everyone describe the biblical God as a man in the sky? That definition has always puzzled me. I think anyone who bows down to "god" is bowing down to the an awe inspiring figure who has created all that is. It is more than just a man in the sky. I don't know why, but that just irritates the shit out me.
@CrucifyMy5elf Yes its all those statues in churches that does it...LOL. I stopped seeing it like that when I was about 6 years old at which time I was visited by what I thought was an angel, it appeared as a smile. Its outward appearance wasn't striking really, its atmosphere however was. So I guess it doesn't matter what we call it or what we think it looks like. It is anything we want it to be and then some...
@CrucifyMy5elf yeah, thats one of my thoughts exactly, but this is the first time I've heard it from anyone else. It shows a pretty significant misunderstanding of religion
@lookatmepleasesir Have you seen the movie The Invention of Lying? The main character invents "God" and calls him the "man in the sky". It was so irritating. You don't have to subscribe to any religion to wonder about if there is a "God" or Creator of the Universe. It is a valid question. We would love to know how all of this shit came to be, including our own existence. Anyone who thinks people pray or worship a man playing the harp while floating in clouds is an f-ing moron.
@CrucifyMy5elf "Anyone who thinks people pray or worship a man playing the harp while floating in clouds is an f-ing moron." Have you read the Bible? Yahweh is depicted as a jealous, petty, angry psychopath that created us in his image... and he liked the odor of burning goats. So yes, many people (over half the U.S.) pray to, and worship a magic man in the sky (a crazy one at that).

I love what you say regarding 'whether you speak of god creating humans or humans creating god, you're dealing with the same paradox'.. spot on.

Thanks Matt. I so appreciate your willingness to speak about nothing and how nonbeing relates to all that is.

In spiritual matters, language's greatest use is in finding its own limits.
That is when we realise we are all connected by faith.

Excellent as usual, Matt.
