True awakening is falling asleep After enlightenment wakes you The deep slumber falls away The same path walked Wood chopped Water carried You fall asleep This time aware of the dream A calling so sharp piercing the veil Things aren't what the seem Wakeful fears the devil snakes nearer than here Eating my own tail a endless circle of love and fear I am that I am and will always be How to accept the truth given to me I run as I hid from my own divinity I am that I am that have I always been There is none other than I No throne up high in the sky My temple is where ALL reside

God, just like you, gets bored. once he got so bored, that he wished for an element of surprise, something his all-knowing self couldn't predict. thus appeared mankind. god is lonely, you are lonely god is bored, you are bored god is proud, you are proud god is egoistic, you are egoistic so you do the math....

If God truly has ultimate power over everything then God should just stand back and let it all happen as it will. In the end if God doesn’t like the outcome, God can change it. Until then, anything goes. And so it is.

Man.. I get a seriously profound takeaway from this. Hmm.perhaps the question of “why is there anything?”. Could actually be “why isn’t there nothing?” Of course there is something it’s fundamental and absurd to even question something. IE life.

I'd create an equal to myself...maybe several.... I'd basically create a pantheon of gods. Would make my existence more entertaining and it'd be interesting to see what they create and how theyy interact with humans. Only reason to be a single omnipotent being is if you're a narcissistic god...

@camerongilmour77 Жыл бұрын

I wonder, without going to a University or doing Yoga or any higher teachings or learning, how does one become a philosopher? Just curious. Oh yeah, my answer to the question though is- I dunno.

@LazarusXO Жыл бұрын

Not that hard in essence a philosopher can come from all walks of life. It is the question that is posed that decides whether you are curious to explore those questions with your own experience. I don't find my self being a philosopher, but some think I speak like one. Ultimately my out look on life is out of the box. I think the important part is not conforming easily to every day life. Curiosity and Imagination can take a human a long way.

We are God! We have plenty of limitations and abilities. We are dependent on each other and many other things. Being God, I suggest you live and enjoy life the best you can. Be nice and compassionate to others. Shun intolerance though it is another far less valuable attribute of God. Go easy on God.

you cannot encompass The Almighty, he made pharaoh they way that he is then punished him for it, because of what pharaoh did with his own hands and words, God does not have needs nor does he get bored he wrote every human's action and words long before they were born, God simply chooses who is good and who is bad, but they are innocent until they commit their crimes, and lacking until they are written fortunate. and who is to question what God does or does not, obey or disagree and remember that all is written before hand.
