Hello All!

I've noticed that many scientist do not believe in God for some 'logical' reason or the other. So my question is merely this;

If the 'reality' that God is real is a mere illusion who is 'actually' (as "actuality" is what actually is) the creator of the universe?


Who is the eternal parent of the spirit? Who is that bigger energy source that all of existence (as we are all smaller energy fields)are connected to?


Also; What's your take on 'The Law of Attraction' and the power of the mind/thoughts, where it states that we are creating our own personal universe as we go along by virtue of our thoughts?

Is it possible then that we can all "actually" be mere thoughts/"realities" in the mind of the Supreme Being?

Heres my opinion...

The problem with the word "god" is that when you say this word everybody has there own image of what god is, or they get turned off because of all the confusing ideas of religions. The word "God" has become a very misleading word and in reality god is not explainable in words.

Another point I would like to make is that god is not a "who" God is egoless, God is all consciousness and energy combined. I prefer to call god the Universe as opposed to "God" because when I use the word god everyone gets all choked up.

I like to look at it like this, picture our body. Its made of many, many cells which are each individual living entities, they each have there own life force. But they also have a collective life force as well, us. We are to our cells what god is to us. We are all god cells so to speak. And not just people but all consciousness, Animals, plants, micro organisms, even energy. Its all alive and we help build this giant network of life that is the mind of god.

And yes, the law of attraction applies to everything we do. Every thought/intention creates reality. We have potential to create whole universes within ourselves.

Oh and many scientists do believe in "god" But they have more of a spinoza view, I personally believe in god but I am not religious, I see the universe through a monist idealists Pantheist viewpoint.

I'm something of a Pantheist myself. Actually, I believe that Deity is essence, a great pool of divine energy that is intimately intertwined with the energy and matter that form the universe, but operating on a different level. Soul is energy, and is drawn from that same pool and recycled. God is nothing more or less than a way to personify that Divine energy, and all the faces and names that we as humans (and probably other sentient beings) attach to the Divine are essentially masks.

Thing is, that Divine energy has consciousness, and a personal self-awareness, and knowing that It and We are all part of the same thing, It wants so much to interact with us... just as many of us do with It... that it is willing to inhabit those personifications and wear those masks to the extent necessary to establish a connection.

Some people grow beyond the need for the masks, although we may still find them useful at times to remind us of this or that aspect of Deity (in many cases a touchpoint where Deity reflects aspects of ourselves) but we can glimpse the larger entity that is behind the mask. That entity is far too enormous for any of us to grasp in its entirety and hold in our minds for more than an instant if at all.

But it's there, and we are aware of it. I say all the time that God is too big to fit into any of the convenient boxes we build to house Him/Her/It/Them, and that's basically a simplification of the principle.

I completely agree, Divine energy is a network of all consciousness and we are merely compartmentalized fragments of this whole.
