please jod down what god is..

[Guest guest]

I have a discussion going if God is a

state of mind.. here:

 

this is a argument from an an other

thread:

 

poster: There is no path in books

and God cannot be found

or lost

~~

karta: God, paradise or " kingdom of god "

is a state of mind.. and it should be

looked for and be FOUND!--so we can have peace and light on earth..

~~

poster: While a peaceful mind is probably a good goal and something worthy of

seeking and achieving, my thought is that if you seek a state of mind, that's

all you will find.

 

I think God is not a state of mind.

~~

 

kara: I was thinking more of a realized

mind a god-realized, enlightened

person's

mind.. which is peaceful and + has the

right understanding compassion..etc and

acts in total unisom with *god's will*

 

I thought that *god* is a word used for

an abstract ... it is perceived,

understood

differently by everybody.. so it is a

state of mind..what else could it be..?

for us humans..

 

I don't belive in a god in the Genesis stories and holy scriptures..more

than I believe the Grimm fairy-tales,

or any other dogma..they all were made

for an other generation to comprehend..

have ethics, to control and to sood

their fear of death..

 

I like to think god is synonymous with

the Life-force Brahman the Consciousness

(capital C not the individual one..)

and God is but ONE: fragmanted in all

of us; into the part we call soul.. and

I like to build union with it any which

way I can: through Kundalini yoga shabd

yoga with bhajan and now practicing the

awareness kept aware on awareness

Nisargadatta style ...the *search* has sloped..

Do you believe that the material world is more 'fundamental', or God

(spiritual) is more 'fundamental'?

If God is a state of mind, or a figment of our imagination, then God

is derived from psycho-physiological reactions, or in other words,

the spiritual is derived from the physical. The physical comes

first. This is what the scientific method assumes.

If you believe the spiritual is fundamental, then you believe the

psycho-physiological world is derived from God. This is the

position of religion.

Non-dualism takes a different tack in that it only allows for God.

Only a petina of the physical (lesh avidya - little bit of ignorance)

is reluctantly granted to account for continuation of action (karma).

 

Whish is correct? What matters is our consciousness, our ability to

appreciate reality. When our intellect is unbounded and resolute and

can discriminate between the real and unreal, then we'll know. Until

then, such speculations are like a hobby or stating a preference in

fruit. Speaking of 'then', there's no time like NOW.
