HAD to double post due to length
i want to add some of my understanding of sacred geometry here that is direct parallel to this and i find is a great introduction to some of it's tenants (as i understand).
please read what i write here, then reread the above to see what i mean.
so sacred geometry is a way of looking at reality thru many different prisms/dimensions/divisions to see the same thing in it's many different expressions and to honor and utilize that understanding.
ONE - the singular prism, the trinity/father (depending on perspective), the big bang, the akashic field, etc. this plane in it's entirety
TWO - the paradox, the dichotomy, the yin yang, god the son and satan, sun and moon, day and night, matter and dark matter, the light and shadow, life and death, where all is true it is equally false on it's polar end
and this brings us to....
The god that is the world is god the son. Just as a baby is part of a mother deep in her own body and one day they separate and become two separate entities yet it remains a fact that they were once the same entity. In the same manner all physical matter including the Big Bang was created and born from god the father! Basically every atom, every electron every sub atomic particle is god the son.
THREE - the triad, the mathematical 3rd dimension, mind/body/spirit, crone/matron/maid, father/son/spirit, it is the base on which form resides, all further expressions are made from this.
Now thirdly. God the Holy Spirit. God the Holy Spirit is inside every human. Your conscience, your thoughts, feelings, emotions, faith, soul, spirit, whatever you want to call it. It is NOT physical matter! It is absolutely not physical matter. There is no physical change in your body that science can point to as being the physical matter which is your soul that leaves your body after you die. A living and dead human are the same physical matter yet only the living human has the Holy Spirit inside. The soul within every human being is god the Holy Spirit.
this is not entirely true, as you admit here
Sure. Btw the brain is capable of a lot of things. I wouldn't discount the possibility of a specific part of our brain being for spirituality. However, it all starts and ends with your soul. The soul initiates the thought process behind every action of your brain.a brain of a person who died two minutes before and the brain of a living person are inherently different yet scientifically they are unable to tell what it is that made the brain function. The energy that made the blood cells and biological matter in your brain function is beyond physical matter.
there was a famous study (that admittedly hasn't been repeated, but who is gonna pay for it? lol) that found that we lose 28g at the moment of death, iirc. i fully agree that there is a spirit and that it is the seat of consciousness.
With this knowledge we can deduce that everything, everyone, everywhere is GOD! And Hindu scripture, African animism, Native American spirituality. They all hint to this fact that is contained in the bible. Yet we all draw a line between monotheism and polytheism without realizing that there is no difference. It is perfectly acceptable to recognize the god as the sun who gives us sunlight. Or God as our parents which give us love. Or God as animals whom we share the earth with. Or god as food and oxygen keeping us alive. Or God as water that quenches our thirst. Or God as children who carry on our heritage. Or god as beautiful flowers decorating and perfuming the world. But we are never to worship this form of god!!!
agree with you up until the last line. which you also brought up
when previously describing the sun...
This form of god is not to be worshipped!!!! You can't worship idols, rivers, humans, any physical matter at all. However Just because you can't worship it does not mean you can deny that all physical matter is infact god!
and then come back to again, here
The only difference is that after you have recognized god. What next? Do you worship him by worshipping other humans? Cows? Elephants? Gods with ten arms? Satan? NOOOO
You worship god that exists within you and all around you. You use religion to connect the god in you to the god that created you...
firstly, i'd like to say that it's dangerous telling people what to and what not to 'worship'
and i didn't get your word on worshiping the holy spirit?
this is one of the reasons i like math as an expression of spirituality, while it is as open to interpretation, finding judgement is almost impossible.
a personal word on worship. i believe that honoring (not worshiping) the ONE - creator and thanking it for our existence is something we do owe. although that is not the right word. it is not demanded due to free-will, nor is it necessary. but it is due and doing so is it's own reward. i believe that we are an expression of 3 as is all that is around us and that what elevates us is the connection (holy spirit) to the ONE. nothing else is due anything resembling "worship" however many other things are worthy of different levels of honor, carry their own energy and return it when asked. such as the earth, air, sky, water, other animals and even each other and most importantly, OURSELVES. we are the expression of god here, as you mention earlier and finish with
Sikh scripture often says that god is the taste and the taster. God is nearer to us then our own two hands. God is all around and inside. The relation between god the creator and god the Holy Spirit is like water. The creator is the ocean. And our souls are individual drops of water, yet when the drops mix back with the ocean they are no longer distinct or separate. This is the end result. If we live life according to god. After death our soul will unite with god in his creator form like a drop of water immersing itself into an ocean.
i've always been interested in sikhism, with it's blend of christian and hindu teachings as well as the different forms of the quabbalh and kabbalah due to their mathematical foundings.
if you look at the parallels, you'll find very little conflicts.
i don't write to offend, but just to further illustrate your own ideas and how they are in other forms. maybe ones that offer less restriction. thanks for writing and for listening
