The Metaphysics of God

The Metaphysics of God

I read an article today that posed a fascinating question: What if God is not a being at all, but an event?

The author goes on to explain that he believes we are the ancestors of God, and that God is the concept of our final evolution in the future.

That suffering is only here on Earth because God is not here watching over us—but because we are building God, piece by piece.

This was a fascinating article, but in my heart (and I’m sure in many of yours), I do feel God here.

I also feel God as the culmination of our evolution. That we are indeed building God, piece by piece. So what gives?

“God will work with you but not for you.” – Lao Russell (Walter Russell’s wife)

I would offer the perspective that if time is an illusion—one bound only to this reality—and that past, present, and future all exist in some kind of circular now, then God does indeed exist. Now.

God is here. We just have to remember God.

We have to rise up to work with that energy of our culmination. And through meeting it in the middle, we all march on together in circular time—creating new emergent outcomes, hand in hand with God.

Or with our future selves, which are not so “future” after all. They are actually here now. We just have to choose to be them.

This ineffable energy of God is something we can choose to believe in, something we can call on—because it is part of us. It is us. It is the highest love, the highest connection. The All.

This doesn’t discredit religion. It encourages each person to have a personal relationship with God—whatever they choose to call it.

Yes, it is the energy of the future—of our utmost evolution—but if time doesn’t truly exist, this is simply the energy of the now, that we can tune into at any time.

And the more we realize that… The more we let go of rules and rigid concepts… The more we embrace authentic connection—whatever that means to each of us… And the more we let people be

The more we let go of control and embrace the unknown…

Well...

The more we merge with that energy. Each in our own unique way.

And I don’t know about you, but that is what gives me true peace.

This God cannot be packaged, only freed.

I deeply thank authors like this that dare to be curious, dare to speak their mind, and that help me expand mine. Only from his deepest truths was I able to see mine.

The hymn of benediction I learned as a chorister Therefore we before Him bending This great sacrament revere Types and shadows have their ending For the newer Rite is near Faith our outward sense befriending Makes the inner vision clear. Is this not clearly about connecting to the One Consciousness? To the one event of existence?

It was 1978. I hated being at home in all the 'drama' and took myself to church. I undertook bible classes and was taught the basic theology of the Mass, and at 12 I was confirmed. Now at 55, I am fully aware the stories of the bible are highly intelligent conversations with deep meanings and our childish need to personify is not actually required once faith is developed.

I agree, Dana. I have had several experiences of the Essence of unconditional universal Love which is not denied of its existence once one experiences it within. The only way to experience it is to be present in the moment. I like the quote from Sri Sathya Sai Baba, "You are part and parcel of your Creator." My personal perspective is that we are God, each of us individually and all of us collectively.
