cool post
but we do have a father, its called the sun, abramic beliefs have roots in egypt and their sun god, you dont need proof that the sun is real, we can experience it most any day
and it aint because we created monsters and angels out of natural phenomenon that the underlying symbolism behind any religion is lost simply because people have lost what it all meant in its original context, it aint because its being used and abused that it completely lost its value, most people who survive atrocities dont loose belief in their god even tho some do, why is that ? its because there is still something in there that worked for them, there is a light in there that keeps them strong
and when im saying we do have a father well we do have a mother too, its called the earth, people are reconnecting with the earth, they are coming back down to earth, they arent looking up in the sky like they use too because we are loosing our predominately male dominant hierarchy, god is seen as male, its the male ego and we personified the sun as a male character with male value, but god is nothing without the earth, or as james brown would put it :
"This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl"
we have being going back to more feminine value, things like wars (up to the level of world wars), commerce (up to the level of international commerce) bringing forth different influence from different cultures with different way of thinking including different beliefs systems all destabilizing the status quo on which the ego reenforce itself, things like agricultural problem leading to famine and death due to misunderstanding of the earth which brought forth notion of the ecosystem and those ecologic movement...
lots of things brought us back to reconnecting with the earth, with mother earth
all im saying is that imo we ended up in our head because of evolution, we ended up with pretty cool brain and that in conjunction to a pretty evolve tongue and opposable thumbs made us able to go all crazy with culture
but that culture was dominated by male because male are more cerebral while female are more emotional because they are connected to their menstrual cycle
males can more easily disconnect themself emotionally and go hunting and eventually go wadge wars while the females are taking care of babies and kids and the old and the sick, females dealt with the inside of the tribe while males dealt with the outside of the tribe
but in a situation where males are closer to their brain due to being more cerebral and their human brain being their evolutionary advantage and having for the most part only men having a education and treating females as property well then you end up with a unbalance culture that is male dominated and a beliefs systems that represent that, you end up with a all powerful male ego god that seeks dominance over all but really all he wants is a big hug...
the sun needs no hug or offering, we have science to understand natural phenomenon now a days, and we are starting to take care of the earth because if we dont we are all gonna go extinct, and this is a huge shift from where we came from
we are balancing male with female energy
god is something real to people who believe in "him" because its a experience
just like the sun, you dont need science to tell you if its real or not
but if you say god is the light as jesus would say then it aint about the sun or the stars, its simply the light and the light is energy and its all around
unless we talk about dark matter i guess...
but here on earth as conscious being with a animal body we can experience god by connecting with that light within us, as jesus said : the kingdom of god is within
so what kind of light is this ? its the light of the sun that gave birth to it all and its in you, its energy, it comes from what we eat
but you really dont have to call it god,
to me god is a feeling, a quality of feeling, a quality of connection to it all,
if you can really connect to the energy that is all around youll feel the love, the compassion and all that, simply because its all about energy, we kill each other for resources which are all about energies, be it love, oil, food, water, money...
we need stuff to survive, we need whats inside that stuff, we need energy
and god is the energy source, and if you can tap into that then there is no need for wars and all that, there is no fear in lacking of something we need
and people wants to connect to that, they want that feeling, they want that quality of feeling, they want to hold on to it, they want to hold on to a god
but you cant hold the light, you cant hold god, but you can hold on to tradition, to beliefs, to religion, to some old book, to whatever connects you with that feeling of the light
and you may end up creating a lot of bad around you for your own personal good
but that doesnt mean that whats behind the idea of god isnt real, or that it isnt worth something
there is something behind the idea of god, it came from somewhere, and we are in a relation with that something, and we do need to balance it with whats around us including whos around us or else yes we do end up doing it wrong
as we are shifting our collective ego toward a more well balanced identity where male and female, blacks and whites, old and young, gays and straights....are all going towards enjoying equal rights well so will god, father god's opinion isnt gonna be anymore important that mother earths opinion
we are of the earth as much as of the sun, we have being droplets of water going up and down between the two for billions of years to get to where we are now, and even tho we are trying to reach the sun, even tho we are trying to reach god's energy in the sky, well we always come back to earth to rest some before doing it again, if we would have reach the sun billions year ago we would never have become what we are now (for better or worse i guess)
but we are ourself, and at some point humanity needs to leave the innocence of childhood behind and start to think for itself, we need to stop projecting our ego all over the place and stop believing that we are more right than we may be wrong (i understand the irony here since im doing just that)
we need to start enjoying the moment without guiding ourself from the past, without looking into the future, but then how the fuck does that make sense...
