Talking You are god.

Hey god. Thats right, you're god. Why not? You call 'god' the father and creator of all existance. Well if that is what god is, then you are the same.
Logic dictates that when a father and mother have a child, that child is the product of the two people. That child is, in a way, a part of the mother and father. For without the mother and father, there would be no child to be born. Now, that is common sense but what i dont seem to understand is why it is uncommon to assume that the creator of all life is NOT a seperate entity. Why do we assume that the very force that created us is an outside force? Wrong-o. You and I are what you may call 'god'. Or what i call, 'the higher-self'. Now i dont expect you to believe me or to quickly adapt to this but I just would like you to use your OWN mind and not those brainwashed ideas planted into your mind through that wonderful thing we call 'religeon'.
You and I are god. We are the pieces that hold it all together. Existance cannot exist without itself existing. (I think that sounds right lol) I like to imagine me and you as a spark off a magnificent light. I dont care what you call god. You could call god, ''the amazing wanger'' just realize that god is not a seperate entity that judges or condemns or sends a soul to hell. You are god. You judge yourself. Just use your own head and think for yourself. You are a sparkle of a divine light. You are god.

sounds good. have you ever studied gnosticism? if not, you're close to it. many people speak it's truths before they even start to "study" it because the basics are not recieved through study, but through divine revalation. i always responded to these "heretical" ideas before i ever knew what they were formally. gnosis may be the one truth that spawns all religions. gnostics were most likely the first christians. Its a theory but it holds water in my opinion.
It involves the ideas that the kingdom of God is within you, and that you are an individual, but more than that, you are a child of God but more than that you are God. the world is an illusion that groans to be shattered. pain is a lie that screams to be destroyed. but knowledge or gnosis of God is true and eternal, and inside you.
As i said before, these ideas are heretical by orthodox standards, but i think they may be the truest form of christianity.

As Paul said, "The mystery is this: Christ in you!"

I'll put two-and-a-half inches of Angry Throbbing Born-Again Christianity inside you and you'll like it, bitch.

You're right. I AM God, and you aren't.

If the I (ego) becuames the self, the consiouseness sp? is no longer the self.

Sprituality is a mind thing, what do you think about really? do you think things out or do what ever you think is satisfing. DO you live for a higher perpuse of SELF or for nothing but to burn out and die one day?

That is the question.
