Good advice.
 
What is the meaning of the word God to you?

What is the meaning of the word God to you?

Please state your spiritual designation and what you imagine God as a concept, visualize God, etc...

Also thanks for any help you could give me, I haven't been on bluelight pretty much since back when it was bluelight.nu, but I have great memories of this place and I know that you're all going to help out. This is for a linguistics project so keep that in mind during your response. Thanks everyone! And if anyone remembers me from back in the day shoot me a PM.
 
Hm a creation point from which everything sprang into existence ( it matters not if it's steady state or big bang) "god" is imprinted into matter/energy - inherent in matter/energy. I think this rather neatly explains many religious assertions.

Your opinion ?
 
I tried to answer but I erased it because I don't know if it was what I really believe. I struggle with this too much. there are just too many possibilites. I can tell you some of the things I DONT believe. Like for instance I certainly DONT believe that the earth was created in 7 days. I have too many thoughts. There is no way I would ever be able to confine myself to one particular belief. It would just change 5 minutes later.

God is that muscle bound specimen i see in the mirror everyday. Or maybe god is the source of the entire universe.

Or maybe since ive been listening to many terence mckenna speeches, god is what you see in dmt space, or maybe what you see in dmt space is gods creation, where the weavers of gods tapestry sing, dance and play.

the meaning of the word "god"; to me; is the spiritual life force, within us; as individuals that guides us all when making decisions or contemplating life as one.

hence why:
religion causes war.
people cause hate.
money and power are involved in religion.
leaders and self appointed "prophets" exist.
fearful advocates, choose to believe.
individuals self explore.

the list is endless. as is "god-dom"

...kytnism...:|
 
The Prime Mover. That all-powerful force that moves and shifts and swirls at the base of all this. Utterly without attributes. The great Tao. The great One. What's at the core of our every being, when you strip away everything but bare consciousness itself.
 
Plain and simple: God is infinity.

You might ask: "Who created matter?"
"God -- he's the only reason anything exists."
"But who created God?"
"Shit"
"Well, who created God?"
"Another God"
"And who created that God?"

Infinity to the rescue: there are an infinite number of God's creating each other. God isn't really God. Infinity is.

this is just what i think...

God is a word representing an internal concept that people hold within their minds. Composed of the letters G,O,D, and spelt dog backwards.

Essentially the concept of "God" is the combination of a concept learned from outside sources(and there are many), and something a person creates and manages inside themselves. Largely affected and influenced by both their true and ideal relations to themselves with the outside world.
I also believe that since "God"(or the many other labels) exists largely inside the human mind, that these manifestations are a projection of having unwavering faith in ourselves, and perhaps humanity/nature as a whole... I'm discluding the types of gods people hold within their minds that they believe to be better than another persons god.

Everything is connected in some mystifying way, after all.
 
it's just a thought, a thoretical thought. it isnt real, just something to connect abstract thought around. don't go insane.
 
God is the stuff we don't know about + the stuff we think we know about.

i.e. Everything.
 
If it has be classified and have a name put to it would have to say that I am fairly agnostic. This is because i believe that contemplating the existance and essence of things greater then or different then our observable reality is relavant but following a specific faith in attempt to worrship beings beyond our comprehention is a waste of our limited time on this world in this form.
I believe GOD is just one way that us humans try to explain a trascend being or something that is beyond the limitations of understanding that we are confined to in this form that we currently exist. The very essence, let alone the subtleties of form and the details that are part of form, of such a "being" or whatever it maybe's existance, or lack there of, could not be fully comprehened by our minds. The concept of nothingness is one thing but actually truely understanding nothingness is a something entirely more preplexing. The concept of everything is just as complicated if not more so because that would also include nothing.
All religions and beliefs are an atempt to make our selves feel more comfortable through a connection to the "divine" or whatever termonology that group uses for it. It may all be profoundly meaningfull or it may all be profoundly meaningless. Either way alot has happened as a cause of our attempts to understand and even appease our own version of our concept of a "God".
 
^I like that.

Act without any prior cause, condition, or thought. That is God.

On a spiritual level, God is the self. This is what few religions have said and what most religions have said while trying to resist saying it. There are a few problems people have with admitting it. One problem is the overwhelming responsibility in admitting that you are God. Another is that most humans have a need to believe in something greater than themselves or something supernatural. Another is the fear of a chaotic existence or belief that people won't do the right thing without a reward.

For example, the Christian God - take the general belief and substitute the self for God and it always makes perfect sense. God created the universe. The self created the universe. (think about it, if you weren't here to perceive it what would the universe be) Praying to God is just talking to your self. God will judge you for your sins, you judge your own sins with guilt.

The self is the most advanced creative being. You can do anything. All you have to do is stop making excuses. Nothing can stop you except yourself.
 
God: Used by so many people, with so many different meanings from the very precise to the very vague. Over usage has rendered this word (as well as words such as "spirit/soul/energy/etc") absolutely imprecise and frustratingly pillaged of all meaning.
 
^ I can see why a lot of people, especially a lot of very concrete thinkers, get fed up with metaphysics, because it's all entirely speculative. I personally find this fun as hell -- I love entertaining and playing around with concepts like god, spirit, qi, karma, life force, ground substance, eternity, and all those other things that may model well what's behind all this, and then again may not.
