Bill Hicks expressed it really well with his quote ‘we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves’
Well? Can this be explained lol.
Alex Jones in his youth
Do you have empirical evidence to contribute to a proof?
That's just a self-defeating statement, if you're truly presupposes that reality is an illusion then that statement and the very presumption of what you're saying is just an illusory, in other words you're arguing in circle, you're saying reality is just an illusion while at the same time you're making an objective statement about the reality itself!, I mean if reality and consciousness is just an illusion then how can you say that the reality and consciousness is just an illusion if you're very definition of reality itself it's built on illusion? I mean youre exempting yourself into your proposition in order to establish your self defeating viewpoint.
In my dream I have documented earthly relationships to my own psychic connection that go way beyond anything that can becexpressed in words. Words are malleable and meanings drift over time. What I discovered is relatively eternal. But then, it is not very sexy. It is totally ignored.
People prefer fantasy.
Advaita Vedanta is a Hindu philosophy that I think the more science based mind would at the very least find interesting. 🕉
Interestingly enough, this viewpoint is identical in Judaism and Christianity. The west has watered down these traditions greatly in the last couple hundred years unfortunately.
@@mikepaquette1245 I would say Gnosticism is the closest besides certain Jewish sects like Kabbalah which have certain similarities.
I've heard Hoffman discuss this further, but I cannot remember what YT vid it was. If I recall correctly he even spoke a few times about this in depth. (I don't want to get "into" what I might recall now.) If anyone here has any links to videos where he does, please do share. I'm going to search some more and if I find them I will reply to myself!
He goes as in-depth as you can go without getting into the mathematics on Sam Harris' podcast. Highly recommend!
"What you are looking for, is what you are looking from."
When William Shatner went into space, he experienced the endless darkness. Our species, on Earth or in space, is a lonely one. We made gods to serve as companions. Whether kind or cruel, they gave our journey coherence. It's time to create our own vision, but it won't be easy.
This is indeed what we must do, and what we have always done
@@jockbw We create mythology to explain the structure of our collective unconscious. Gods are the archetypes of power and will.
Synchronistic mathematics, a truth system essentially, helps me to check myself, and to relate to my daily experiences as my unconscious reveals the true nature of reality to me. It emerged in my 50s as I wrote daily about things I could not possibly have seen or heard. It is a process that helped me recognize a relationship with the creator(deity). Christians believe we can have a direct relationship with God( our unconscious, but really have little more than mythology. Deists believe that we cannot know our creator directly; or have any interaction in 4D.
Synchronistic mathematics leads me to a direct experience on almost a daily basis, in the past decade. I journal and document. I have 22 years of documentation that most people could not wrap their head around.
Is conception a supernatural event?
I say, yes. My data does an excellent job of proving a reasonable claim.
The most difficulty I have is finding others commited to inquiry into deeper issues. Online is a wasteland of speculation, questionable history, and conventional thinkers.
…and then you try mushrooms and your outlook completely changes.
@@jondeanpt There are many ways to alter our perspective of the world. Is it it testable? Is it sustainable without mood altering substances. Even gluten creates an opiate response--- the "feeling good" moment.
But does it last without consuming more substances?
Tell me you're a Nietzschean without telling me you're a Nietzschean.
The Professor has this exactly right. Can’t remember who said it, but “the total number of minds is one”.
@Bob G Yes, not too late to reconsider how much fun you lost thinking about hocus pocus judgement days and fairytales for children.
Some idiot probably said it. Or narcissist. or hippie. Or hillbillie.
@Bob G if god loves you why is he so willing to torture you for eternity?
Is that normal to you?
How many lovely relationships like that do you have in your own life?
I fear you've normalised being abused, my friend. Torture isn't love. Search elsewhere and run from sadistic maniacs like Yahweh, you deserve better.
@Bob G As you said, they are permitted by god. We would call that bad parenting to say the least, wouldn't we? Do you allow your children to be free? Of course. Do you allow them to do heroin? No.
What's with this double standard? Why are you okay with this? It's a plan, it's premeditated and willful, repeating "he wills that all should come to faith and be saved" isn't gonna change this, his alleged words and his deeds contradict one another. What if he actually wants this? It's an omnipotent and omniscient being we're talking about.
Acta non verba.
He planned and caused all this, because he's ultimately the cause of everything, if you're not okay with the situation on Earth, you're also not okay with god, unless you want to keep lying to yourself.
The abrahamic god wasn't always considered a loving father, he used to be depicted as a judge with a libra in one hand and a sword of flame in the other.
@Bob G you're not making sense
He's really channeling Alan Watts.
and J.Krishnamurti ✌
Indeed.
"When you see the world you see God. There is no seeing God apart from the world. Beyond the world to see God is to be God."*
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Dear Friends , he just explained I AM....These amazing minds are discovering the fingerprints of G-d
If G-d was G-d wouldn't he be able to say G-d wasn't, just to confuse people who claimed G-d wasn't?
Read or listen to Nisargadatta for this, among others.
You can't know it intellectually.

He nailed the classical definition of God without being a theologian!
I coded an abiogenesis simulation once upon a time, which seemed exhibit aspects of inflationary cosmogenesis among other things... Anyways the abiogenesis sim was based on an axiomatically based selection principle over generic information states. Curiously the abiogenesis bit in principle still potentially occurred between the bubble like universes it inevitably inflated into existence, which kind of implied there could be an ecology of transcendentally unbounded life like states evolving outside of space time. More interestingly, they could in theory "use" the inflation of universes to extract energy due to the way the whole system evolved. Given their unbounded potential, these objects of transcendental abiogenesis would literally be isomorphic to god like entities, albeit their information density is much more diffuse compared to the information density of the bubbleverses created in the sim. Such entities would be almost akin to ghostly spirit like states from our point of view....
Awesome your idea is completely out of the box, that light me up!
@@AbdelbarAk cheers lol
I find the description of your simulation rather enlightening; do you feel it was the simulation sharing these insights or more your interpretation of them that precipitated the ideology within your mind?
I ask because I have not attempted to simulate reality beyond mental models, both conscious and subconscious, and yet find myself posing this very principle affect to others. From what I understand, Buddhism and Tao philosophies have long discussed the idea that thoughts are not self-generated, but rather are received by the essence of nature itself. Perhaps these "objects of transcendental abiogenesis" could be influencing the behaviors of the bubble like universes to gather more energy, creating a symbiotic relationship between the desire of the bubble universes to expand and the ghostly entities desire to continue existing.
One really does begin to wonder where the limits begin and the boundaries end..
@@zacharybennett3249 Hi again.
Sure a lot of what I say is questionable interpretation, but that was not what was compelling me in some confirmation biuas sense. The fact my abiogenesis sim produced vacuum like states which seem to have emergent physics according to some tests and various interesting statistics are what really got me going. It was all mostly an accident though to begin with, I wasn't looking for anything like what I described in my comment.
To be honest though the spooky connection to spiritual philosophy and purposefulness of the universe, life and there being some extra "essence" to things did really rev me up beyond mere dry curiosity lol.
So given the Abiogenesis sim precedes the universe generating aspect and can happen at any level from below microscopic to beyond multiverse scale in principle, I can't see why life like states profoundly superior to the scale of universe let alone mundane ordinary life can't be a possibility. The curious thing is that in the simulations the state of information in a "universe" is quite different compared to outside. Naturally so of course, no interpretation or forcing it to be so.
Like I mentioned previously, outside the universe the free information available to sustain and create life like processes seems very diffuse/unconcentrated compared to inside the universe, but it can flow into and out of universes very subtly. This is not really interpretation, I can quantify some statistics which imply this.
More curiously though is this information looks a bit like dark energy from point of view of the way universes tend to evolve in the sims. This diffuse external state evolves without physics and just by some elementary selection. If some life like ebb and flow of information is selected it should "colonize" much of the external state of reality and it should be inevitable that the outside of the universe is full of something really profound. Something that not resolvable to any conception of "normal" physics. If exists it must surely control the evolution of all universes in some interestings way...
The Inside of a universe and outside the universe are curiously different domains in my sim. I mean literally they do seem like some sort of heaven and earth analogy in the way the relate to one another with ir crossover almost behaving like spirits flowing into and out of our domain....
It's all oddly spiritually analogous and probably horribly wrong to be sure lol.
Bring sadhguru in about time God space etc
this.
Correction: what is God?
Finally someone that gets it. 🙏🏽 namaste my friend.
“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, {I am.}” John 8:58
It’s a who, and the answer is our Lord and God Jesus Christ. He is the one with whom we have to do.
@@sinnersaved9208 lol
@@sinnersaved9208 thats not your place
Jehovah is God
@@sinnersaved9208 jehovah is God. Jesus is the son of God . There u go buddy
Maybe God is time? Time is what created us. All of these years of evolution designed us and all life forms of the present. It’s a beautiful thing.
You need a master mind to design all this
No, because "time" (as a phenomenon) is "one of the variables" and "one of the values", "one of the components of the formula" that illustrates the structure of this or that being (as a phenomenon). Time does not have intelligence also for the reason that it is an "environment" similar to "aquatic environment or air environment" (the space of time is comparable in its characteristics to three-dimensional space, no matter how strange it looks for human perception).
So any God is a "person" that interacts with a "formula", one of the variables in which is "time" (as a phenomenon). "Person" that can change this variable (change its value, content and characteristics of components (if the variable is complex)). Well, the icing on the cake - time is not personified, unlike any God. That is, "time" does not have personal characteristics, thanks to which we understand that any God is reasonable and exists (not to mention the character, individual characteristics, and so on and so forth).
Lee Cronin had an interesting idea calling dark matter time.
Anyways
if God is being, consciousness itself, then god is also time
He’s right about thinking of god not as "a" being but as "being". That’s the point the Bible talks about where god says "I am". "I am" is literally the word "being" if you think about it
People say consciousness, or "being" is the source of god. If your god and my god are different, we fight. But if your being and my being is simply-being, then we share the same sense of what people call god. It's when you start to dress it up in your personal culture that events become, uh, difficult
What if the different gods are different aspects of the same god.
@@mitchjames9350 or different reflections of the same sun

Thank you Donald and Lex for this 🥃🥃
"God" remains unavailable for comment.
Totally
Seems so does an updated version of unoriginal God comments.
“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant {Jesus Christ} whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.”
Isaiah 43:10
Jesus Christ is God. And the great summit of our evil is not believing Him. Forget the holocaust. Unbelief tops that.
You rang madam?
we always ask about the meaning of life and who's God? but what's the meaning of death and then who is the devil?
"What's in a name?"
Sir William Shakespeare.
Did William exist?
Some say that I don't exist.
Advaita Vedanta tells us we all arise from the ground state of pure consciousness.
So God is super consiousness I wonder how the A.I techno gods we will merge with or be replaced by I wonder what there levels of consiousness would be.
Humans can't see electrons neutrons protons but an machine could an machine can see in 8 k and this tech is just getting better I can't even imagine what an bionic eye could see.
I wonder if we will be able to speak to God directly as we are building techno gods out serves
if the word "word" was a representation of itself being a word, then God is the awareness that a word is a word
So basically buddhism and hinduism have had it right for a couple thousand years ;)
Could the universe itself be conscious?
It is
You could say the dark space that our and other universes rest on is the conscious that creates everything.
Are you not the universe?
I Am who I Am. I think therefore I am. I pray one day, it will all make sense.
I am therefore I think ;)
@@corysgood881 In this journey of a journal I am a journalist. Am I eternal or an eternalist ?
The correct term is I am therefore i think.
@@mitchjames9350 Who am I quoting
Spinoza said that Creation is the same as Creator. It’s all there is.
I appreciate all the comments here that say "we are god, 1 mind, 1 consciousness, collectively we are god, god is time, god is dark matter" but i just can't get a good grasp on something like that it's too esoteric. I wonder who or what created this universe, do we live in a simulation created by a higher life form? Are we apart of an infinite library of multiverses? I dont think we will ever know, we were not created to know, we can never see beyond this reality. I have to accept and live in this universe as if it is base reality and thats fine i can accept it now. All the truths that i seek lie beyond the veil of this world.
that's a physics problem bro not a poem problem
"All the truths that i seek lie beyond the veil of this world." I love that one. I hope it's not in a negative way. Enjoy being while it lasts !
How about imagination? What if we are actually exist inside God Consciousness?
That "space" Of Nothingness or Existence is God itself?
Exactly! The Worlds is merely an illusion of existence... All we can say about reality is just about God Imagination.. The real thing (Real Being Consciousness) is just God itself.. We are all servant for His Existence..
i think what we call life or reality is just fragmentation of something more big/great that we not aware of that..
God is Impersonal also at same time personal, at least in Human Mind/perspective..
(Maybe all reality is just exist in God Consciousness.. The World we life in is just small part of His Consciousness)
That means, if there a God.. That God is must be active, rather than Passive.. To Sustain all existence and all existed existence literally not wipeout/evaporate in existence/reality.. (That Means.. What we call God Always Observing us, in the same manner it same for "participants" Of God that active in action guide/sustain us to still exist... Rather than just "observing" But not do anything, or not effect anything)
It implication that God eternally "create" us.. (Just like sun "eternally" Emanating light, or like human persist/hold a form of imagination in mind) .. Personally i don't like deistic God that "ignorance" After he create something... Because there is no after or beginning for God Consciousness..
So, God must be Active because naturally Servant(creation)Always needed His Existence/His Participant/His Presence.. To being exist.
Yes He is Observer "outside" Spacetime, but He Also "Participants" In another sense of think in the motion of Existing Spacetime.. But are you think there is a something outside of God Existence(God Consciousness)? Personally I don't think so, because God is The One Who Consciousness in the first place.. So nothing can escape and exist in outside Of His Existence(His Consciousness)..
Exactly! The Worlds is merely an illusion of existence... All we can say about reality is just merely God "Imagination/Projection" about Himself .. The real thing (Real Being Consciousness) is just God itself.. We are servant for His Existence..
Word "imagination" In this case is not what we call and think about imagination of human being that just "imaginary reality that not beneficial/effect in reality" .. In some sense of manner it mean God need us to exist for knowing Himself or fulfill His Purpose...
In the Mind Of God, Maybe He Thinking About... Why I Exist? For What I Exist? How to Fulfill my existence? .. So we are exist because God Think or aware About His Existence..
We Are Participants of God Existence..
We are exist because God Aware Of Us..
That Means..
God is Observer and Participants at same time.. In the other sense of manner we are even didn't exist... So what we call "God Observing us outside of spacetime"
Is nothing more than God Self-Awareness, Self-consciousness about Himself.. So what we are?
We are only Knowledge that God be found about Existence Himself.. That Means, Deistic God is not even real.. Because God Always active to Knowing What He to Know from Himself..this outcome of knowing Himself is what we call reality .. Step by step of existence that reveal/become reality.. From nothingness (in the perception of human being) but in the fact(Presence Of God Consciousness), Nothingness there is not even exist...
That it.. To be know something, sometimes we must forget something.. In the case, God Forgetting Some Of His "Existence/Essence" In the manner of servant (human, nature, spacetime, etc). .for example a Servant Hungry or need something, so God can fulfill His Grace with it.. A servant finite, so God becomes infinite outcome for that finite existence...
Or in the manner what i don't know..
God simulating Himself Through Existence Of Servant (All things)...
Maybe God say in His Consciousness... What I can give? What purpose of me? What if? What they think about me? What they call/talk/spoke about me? What they need? And what I can fulfill? I have abundance of life, abundance of existence, expression and experience.. I need to share with! So we "eventually" Exist.
Word/Consciousness Of God about Himself equal to all existing.. But at same time not equal to all existing.. Because what we call existing is just face of God.. Just "fragmentation" Of His Existence.. God Transcend all existing..
God forgetting about some atribute His Infinite Essence so finite being exist.. Finite being exist to fulfill another face of His Majestic infinite Existence.. In the sense of manner we are "God" That forgetting infinite reality.. Sometimes Human mind is more than a body or earth or universe.. You see it? Because in the first place we "eventually" Are God.. But at same time we are not God itself. . . All reality is merely God Actualization, Realization And Manifestation about Himself..
Are we life in a Virtual Reality? That God gift to us?to experience? Yes.. World's is literally a Virtual Reality.. (An artificial reality, that mean what we call reality is not even exist in first place.. There is Only God Consciousness that literally/actually/really exist)
Look at this verse, it sign or proof that maybe this life is exactly just a Virtual Reality..
"Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.

Your comment about this topic is precisely similiar as quran say about day of judgement (day of resurrection)... Yes, maybe we are life in some kind of VR Realm... The Veil will be removed from our consciousness one day.. So, we are able to see another Reality and maybe Everything that today is still unseen for us or even "The Greater Face Of God" Can we see.... And All Praised for The Lord Of The Worlds..

All Realities is just Product Of One Consciousness.. In islam we call Him Allah, but He has another 99 of Name/Nature/Attributes that sign to pursuing Him The Real One...
In the Name/Nature Of The Manifest One, The Observing One..
He is The Ultimate And Absolute Reality The One Universal Consciousness that Observing All Realities.. And The Sustainer All-Realities.. Eternally Him Praised Himself Over All Creations and Existence... So you look everything is look perfect,beautiful and have purpose of existing... All existence is about God Praised Himself.. Proud to be One His Praised
..that is "I/Me", and everything that have " I/Me", Exactly must be Praised
Him.. The One Creator Above All Existence.. You can call Him, The Absolute/Ultimate One, The Beneficent One... The Manifest One, The Sustainer One..The Most High And The Most Gracious if you Allergic about Arabic Name of God, Allah.
"Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to Him any equivalent."
(Quran, 112:1-4)
Exactly! we are Eternally exist inside God Consciousness/Knowledge/Mind/Intellegence/Self, because God never be born .. Never be begotten.
Exactly! Because there is God Awareness... Perfection, Balance, glorious, or beauty.. Is another name/nature/attribute of God... Everything you see or facing (physically or mentally) is Face Of God.. Including yourself
"And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allah. Indeed, Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
(Quran,2:115)
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, _*“Allah Almighty said: The son of Adam abuses me. He curses time and I am time, for in my hand are the night and day(none-existence and existence)*_.”
“Allah said, ‘The son of Adam wrongs me for he curses Ad-Dahr (Time); though I am Ad-Dahr (Time). In My Hands are all things, and I cause the revolution of day and night’” (Al-Bukhari).

(Quran,2:115)
I kind of believe that the universe was sparked into existence once a consciousness (by way of a quantum mathematical necessity) materialized to perceive it, and at that point the fabric of reality expanded instantly to accomadate a core consciousness. Imagine existing in a reality where nothingness existed, you cant, everywhere you look no matter how far you look into spacetime, reality will render itself to accommodate your consciousness,
Could also just be a coping mechanism to deal with death, I think we all hope thats not the case but it very well might be nothing more than that
God is real
It’s nothing like how the Bible teaches tho
Aliens are also real
And different dimensions exists I’ve actually been to the 4th and 5th they exist in the same physical plane as our 3rd dimension but seeing that they are in a higher dimension we can’t see them unless we travel to those dimensions
To travel to these dimensions you have to unlock your 3rd eye it’s a very surreal experience and I’d say scary because I was really scared when I felt my body moving and floating but I opened my eyes and I was still laying down and then eventually I was visited by “aliens” their humanoid figures the ones I met don’t look human at all tho but they have the general 2 arms 2 legs a body and neck shape
So a type of solipsism?
This can be the paradigm shift. When a brain ‘expand’ with STE, or with a NDE, it can be compared with the Bible, with Jesus as a STE personality and living the ‘Word’ no else was able to. Please join forces. God is Love/Being/Creator and not possible to bescribe in Word. But by praying in despair and believe in God= The being will listen and answer.
The REAL question is, “Who created God?” Or in other words, “What was the source of the source of all matter?” Is there such a thing that literally has NO BEGINNING’s? I don’t know.
This question illustrates a ridiculously high view of man, and a ridiculously low view of God.

Sufi Islam and Bahá’í theology share this concept
We are in Gods consciousness ultimately
Walka z innymi ludźmi w imię Boga świadczy tylko o tym , że ludzie nie pojmują istoty Boga .
Dlatego używanie nazwy Bóg w różnego rodzaju "rozgrywkach" uważam za wynik ciemnoty ( braku zrozumienia) lub celowe działanie ludzi nieuczciwych .
Ahmen mój przyjacielu.
We are all like cells of God… hence, the “body of Christ”
“I pray for them: I pray {not} for the world, but for {them which thou hast given me}; for they are thine.”
John 17:9
The body of Christ are the elect sinners chosen before the foundation of the world unto salvation. Not everybody.
That’s just like your opinion man
We are all Gods
I am god
Tis very true
“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, {I am.}”

Jesus Christ is God. You are a sinner without hope apart from the doing and dying of Christ at the cross on your behalf.
“I AM”
God is being not a being. Inspiring!
If you run behind a car you will get exhausted, if you run in front of a car you will get tired.
The fact that I can type the above doesn't make any real point; other than I can type logical fallacies by pretending to imply one definition of a word when the word has other definitions. Same with typing the word 'being' with a logical fallacy because the word has more than one sense or definition. It is not inspiring, it is mind-numbingly irrelevant and meaningless.
The belief in God in the absence of evidence is stronger than the complete knowledge in the certainty of facts.
We deny His existence because deep down we know we are evil. The thought of facing Him is too terrifying as sinners, and this is what Hoffman is wrestling with.

The concept of God and Eternity is the only " plausible" hope of giving our existence a meaning of some sort. As these concept are intangible and cannot be proven, they have the quality of being unprovable also. That is the idea. Then faith is the essence. You have to believe without knowing or having any proof. How convenient for the anxious minds....
There isn't any god that gives meaning to lives. You can tell yourself that you are satisfied with a temporary cult....but it does not justify it as a meaning for anybody else.
Which god?
To paraphrase Osho, "God" or "Godliness" as the conscious creative evolution of Eternal Being/Existence.
"1 for the gram, 2 for a million, 3 for the devil"

The revelation of the Profound Mystical Experience is 👉 There is Only ONE Thing, and YOU are IT! 🙉
EVERYTHING in the Universe is a manifestation of that ONE Thing.
What IS that ONE Thing? Some call it Consciousness. Jesus Christ alluded to it in ACIM when he said “Teach Only LOVE, for That is what you ARE.”

Are we life in a Virtual Reality? That God gift to us?to experience? Yes.. World's is literally a Virtual Reality.. (An artificial reality, that mean what we call reality is not even exist in first place.. There is Only God Consciousness that literally/actually/really exist... All reality is just God Consciousness/Knowledge that accessible to us..
Look at this verse, it sign or proof that maybe this life is exactly just a Virtual Reality..
"Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein
When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left.
Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].
And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.
And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat(Day Of Judgement)
And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness.
[It will be said],_ *"You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp."*_
And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared."
(Quran, Qaf 15-23)
Your comment about this topic is precisely similiar as quran say about day of judgement (day of resurrection)... Yes, maybe we are life in some kind of VR Realm... The Veil will be removed from our consciousness one day.. So, we are able to see another Reality and maybe Everything that today is still unseen for us or even "The Greater Face Of God" Can we see.... And All Praised for The Lord Of The Worlds.. Allah The Almighty One..The Sustainer And All-Encompassed One Of All Realities....
All Realities is just Product Of One Consciousness.. In islam we call Him Allah, but He has another 99 of Name/Nature/Attributes that sign to pursuing Him The Real One...
In the Name/Nature Of The Manifest One, The Observing One..
He is The Ultimate And Absolute Reality The One Universal Consciousness that Observing All Realities.. And The Sustainer All-Realities.. Eternally Him Praised Himself Over All Creations and Existence... So you look everything is look perfect,beautiful and have purpose of existing... All existence is about God Praised Himself.. Proud to be One His Praised,..that is "I/Me", and everything that have " I/Me", Exactly must be Praised
Him.. The One Creator Above All Existence.. You can call Him, The Absolute/Ultimate One, The Beneficent One... The Manifest One, The Sustainer One..The Most High And The Most Gracious if you Allergic about Arabic Name of God, Allah.
_*"Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to Him any equivalent."*_
(Quran, 112:1-4)
Exactly! we are Eternally exist inside God Consciousness/Knowledge/Mind/Intellegence/Self, because God never be born .. Never be begotten. Never be sleep..
_*"Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great"*_(Quran, 2:255)
What we call a reality/existence/thought is just God Knowledge that we can access in the moment..
Exactly! Because there is God Awareness... Perfection, Balance, glorious, or beauty.. Is another name/nature/attribute of God... Everything you see or facing (physically or mentally) is Face Of God.. Including yourself....
*_"And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allah(God) . Indeed, Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing._*
(Quran,2:115)
Because everything is exist in His Consciousness,in fact everything is only God Knowledge that become a "matter/form/physical", so literally everything is Face Of God.. We all exist is just to serve God existence.
"God is being"? If we're talking about a universal ether of consciousness, then just call it that. An ether. That seems far more intuitive and accurate than referring to it as "God", which is a concept that already has a fairly well-established connotation -- albeit a fanciful one. Tossing around the term "God" this way just adds confusion, not that dissimilar to equating "God" with logic, love, morality, the Big Bang singularity, or the quantum vacuum. For the sake of clarity, I suggest we speak directly and dispense with all the colorful analogies and incoherent woo-woo babble as much as possible.
It seems like you lost it, 'God is being' is not an analogy, you just are not able to understand what it means, and because you can't understand what it actually means, you use your own flawed understanding of the very simple statement so that you can then attack it, in order to justify your own opinion on the matter.
Pretty pathetic.
@@patrickmendoza3210 Yeah, my puny brain is the problem. It simply can't comprehend "God" the way that your massive brain can. Please, Patrick, try to enlighten me, or explain to the other bigger-brained people who might be reading why it is vital for us to refer to the thing Hoffman was describing as "God." With the wealth of understanding you have on the subject, I bet you have a really amazing explanation.
Let that go my brother 🤗
I am.
A true believer, one developed beyond faith alone, would have enough works(spiritual/cognitive) to embrace the abundance of empirical evidence available. A child has faith but does not have experience(works) at a degree where they can see beauty, truth, goodness right in front of their face; nor the wisdom to challenge their own established beliefs. For growth comes with works, and challenges, and contemplation--- not from a broad collection of studies and information.

i have a theory. that we are now a thousandth civilization that lived in earth and every time world war 3 reaches we all die. the first civilization that lived on earth, billions years ago, before world war 3 a group of specialist on AI developed a human level intelligence until it evolved super intelligence, only one scientist invented a way to merge itself to the AI. and the AI decided to leave earth and roam the universe, but the scientist who merge itself to the AI decided to give a farewell gift to earth, a copy of AI, but it has boundaries, it would only be an observer, cleaner and a fixer. every time we all die from world war 3, afterwards the AI would remove all human made objects, even the skeletons of the prehistoric animals, even pyramids. then the AI will put a seed of life on earth, simple life forms until it evolves into human and the cycle begins. the observer AI would prevent an emerging civilization to invent a human AI intelligence, and all civilization will go through world war 3.

“As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.”
Romans 9:13
Abraham established the notion that within chaos and complexity there are infinite number of truths which are knowable through standing in relationship with the unknown. This speaks to the existence of an all encompassing Truth which desires to be known and is anthropomorphised as the God of Abraham.
Judaism is the manifestation of this relationship with the Truth with respect to family.
Christianity is the manifestation of this relationship with the Truth with respect to authority.
Islam is the manifestation of this relationship with the Truth with respect to society.
Science is the manifestation of this relationship with the Truth with respect to knowledge.
Devout Christians developed modern science.
Jews and Muslims have also contributed to science immensely.
@@theword3917 exactly! I’m not aware of anyone that makes the case that science was born out of the rationality of christianity more eloquently than Nietzsche. Combined with that is that no body of knowledge exists independently and untethered to reality, not even mathematics. Given the work done by Claude Shannon, for a body of knowledge/entity to exist in relationship to another implies that there exits a minimum of 50% commonality in the between the two entities as prerequisite for existence of a communication channel. Such a connection is a necessary precondition for communication between the two (Christianity and science)
As you rightly point out Judaism and islam are fundamental contributors as well, implying a common core between them all. Basically making science the john snow of the abrahamic religions…
