Exploring the Idea of A Creator

In order for reality to exist there must be opposites. With out black there is no white, with out wave there is no particle. I explore the idea of a creator and argue against the idea that God does not exist because if (he, she, it ) did, there would be no suffering in the world.

Thanks for watching! :D

its funny, u told us that your skin improved due to meditation and i actually experience the same thing with my girlfriend!! and as far as Jesus go, i dont necessarily believe he was enlightened, i do believe he gained a lot of knowledge from Buddhist /Hindu teachings and interweave that with his own believes creating Christianity, but thats just a personal opinion.

@Raksasa187 Thanks so much for sharing your experience! :]

Nonesense. The Buddha did not tell people how to behave. He taught them the path to take. Jesus taught people how to behave,. Behaviour cannot lead you to liberation. By the way, an enlightened person does not think that there is a God whi is a man and is the father.

cont.

I remember Deepak Chopra once said that all natural existence returns to the exact same place of unity, equinemity, and unlimited creativity from whence it came. I think that to perceive this as a something rather than a someone puts alot into perspective. To look at it this way, you can really see the parallels in the Buddhist belief in rebirth. Maybe going back to the one'ness and being rebirthed as an entirely new creation. Just a thought :) let me know what you think. Take care!

Hi GeraldP1983

First off I must say that I enjoy your videos and I truely believe that you are looking deep inside and finding a more unified consciousness and enlightening us with your wisdom through your compassionate videos. :) I have been very interested in Buddhism lately and when I am ready I believe I will become one with Buddahood. On another note, I agree that there is the ultimate unified creating force. A SOMETHING rather than SOMEONE. A place of unlimited creativity and creation.

The Pali canon actually rejects a creator God

If interested, you were once catholic, try reading Islam and Zoroastrianism, maybe it would help.

@terransage Am I having Buddhist thoughts? :)

I just came here from your video about emptiness, perception of reality, etc., and had another thought, this one related to both perception and the idea of a creator God. If it's true that what we call reality can't be separated from our perception of it, then in a sense we can say that we create reality (the universe) as we go along. So, in that sense, we are the Creator. Lately I've even been seeing our consciousness as fractal points in an infinitely large fractal "mind."

nice thoughts and backgrounds music bro

it can eb difficult to come to a beleif as to what this concept we call god is: a creater or the connected conciousness of the universe, it especially hard when WE ask it because we live in duality, so our answer itself comes from duality

Peaceee

@mrcuteblackie You have some good thoughts, however careful attention to what Jesus said is more about the Way (path) than how to behave. Love you neighbor as yourself" is a principle of fact not a command to behave if you meditate on i.

[thenichirenstudent]

It is great to see you follow the first two (of 14) Precepts of Engaged Buddhist Practice from the book "Interbeing" from the Venerable Thick Nhat Hanh. Love you.

I see some talks going on about heaven and hell, but in Buddhism (Theravada) there is also a heaven and hell although, both are not infinite. good deeds might give u place in heaven depending on ones karma, but eventually u will be returned to earth. The same goes for evil deeds and hell. I would like to know how y`all thing about that concept in relation with science?
