The Science Of One

The Human experience is the one unifying object that every person has in common.

The quality of everyones experience is no where near the same. The variety of experience is what gives rise to the vast differences we find between people in their views and accompanying actions.

But when it comes down to it the Human experience is the same. The only differing factor seems to be circumstantial differences in environment which give rise to thought unfamiliar to our own. So what does this idea lead us to? Where do we go with this idea that the basis of all thought is the same; that consciousness has an undeniable character to it that spans the whole of the human race? The whole of the universe perhaps.

Where does this enigma come from? What could possibly give rise to this absurd concept of a mind, a self aware object in a seemingly unaware system of rules?

Somewhere, deep in the heart of these rules there must be something (there must be because we have the undeniable proof that consciousness exists in our universe) that governs the rules of consciousness, something that allows the consciousness to exist and to act in the way that it does. Somewhere at the base of physics there lies the rules of consciousness, the “thing” that allows for certain portions of the universe to have a subjective experience of itself. And this thing is the thing of the universe.

In order for consciousness to exist at a large scale there must be something that is like consciousness, something that is the building block that allows for complex systems like our brains to act in the way that they do providing us with the unique view of the world that we have.

This fundamental building block. The seed of mind.

From this grows the most interesting phenomenon that has been discovered in the universe. Ourselves.

If consciousness is rooted in the physical there is no problem of Body and Mind. They are equal. Coexistant. Intertwined. Eternally married into the one object that governs both and all.

This is the essence of monism. The science of one. The next step in our spiritual development.

Isn’t There Something More?

I wonder, I dream, I believe that anything is possible. I always have. But our society robs people of imagination, it tells them to disregard it because those are just silly thoughts…let the experts take care of things. Not that I’m trying to put the blame on something besides the people themselves; we created and we sustain our society. We’re all guilty of it. It’s because we’re afraid. We leave the big decisions to someone else. Of course when you let a small group of people make decisions for all the others they will abuse that power. What we need is true freedom, but in order to make that workable we need to be mature and responsible, and we need to be able to detach ourselves from our emotions in order to make wise decisions. Don’t you ever wonder if there’s not more to life? I see beauty and mystery everywhere I look, but instead of cultivating that beauty and investigating that mystery we ignore it and twist it to work for us. We must conquer fear for fear is what enables others to control us. You must enslave yourself before others can enslave you. But most people think they prefer their chains; that is a fallacy. Freedom is as wonderful as it is frightening. It’s the most beautiful thing there is and it should be cherished. Instead we all give our silent consent to a system that is alienating, enslaving, and killing us, as well as our great mother Earth.

Finding God

In my work towards an inner peace and a healthy spirit, I’ve come to see God in a new light. Associating with God does not mean associating with a religion, and associating with a religion does not mean associating with the dogma of a religion.
God is not a thing or a person, the closest word I can use to describe him in reasonable terms is as a concept. He (it, she, they) represents what is unknown in our lives. He is everything I can’t describe using words, and everything I feel that can’t be explained with reason.
Faith in God requires a subordination of reason, because God cannot be explained in reasonable terms. My belief in God stems from a dissatisfaction with philosophy and science as a way to put life in context. God is the answer to all doubt and gives meaning to life otherwise aimless.
I am worried about my future and the state of my soul, but by simply putting faith in God, my worries disassemble and I can peaceably go on my way without getting bogged down by endless political/philisophical/scientific debate.
Once I stop worrying about my place in the world and just believe that I have a place, I can start to do my work. Without constant speculation about the higher meaning of my actions, I can put my head down and truly explore my connection to the earth and define myself by cutting a path through life.
I can now get over the modern stigma against religion, and embrace it as a community that shares the same fundamental belief that I do: faith in God without reason. The community reminds me that my life is more positive when I stop contemplating utopia and start letting God positively guide my actions. As we are faced with decisions, we can all instinctively judge between right and wrong, and it is faith in God that allows that feeling inside of us to guide our actions.
If you don’t already, try putting faith in God as an experiment. See if it is effective in curbing your doubts and anxiety. See if you can find meaning in your life by ending the aimless search for meaning in your life. Try not to be distracted by forces that make you question yourself and try putting faith in God as a answer your doubts.

Power of God

What is the power of God? What are God’s powers?
If I’m in trouble, will God use his power to help me? Will he send down Jesus to die again for my sin? What if it’s past the son of God’s bedtime?
The word, which is supposedly straight from God’s mouth, was writen down my men and not Gods. The word, which created heaven and earth, was conceived and writen of by men. Perhaps they had a direct line to God to distinguish their own word from the word of God.
Can not I do something similar? Can’t I communicate directly with God and write down what he says? Maybe when I think I’m talking to God it is the devil is disguise, and so I shouldn’t write down what I hear, but don’t you think the authors of the Bible struggled with the same self doubt?
They knew what was true and what was false, because they used their human faculties to listen to and observe the world around them. They observed a force that could not be seen, but was there nonetheless. They labled this force God, and from then on forward anything that was unexplainable was labeled as an act of God.
The authors used their word to give power to the unknown, and today we do the same thing all the time. We notice freak coincidences, and we ascribe to them a higher purpose. “That was meant to happen”. Anyway, my point is that God is an abstract concept that did not exist before humans starting talking about it.
The power of God is not outside of us, it is inside us, created by us. We have the power too. We like to think that we don’t, that we can’t, that we shouldn’t, but we must. If we ignore problems and label them as out of our control than all we are doing is diffusing our own responsibility.
Once we come to realization that we are God’s power, than we can start making the changes that we want to make instead of waiting around for some other force to make it happen. You are God, I am God, together we are God. Let’s focus our power, let’s do something right with our word.
If you’re with me, consider joining the WEAREGOD.org movement. It’s fresh, it’s new, it’s a way to feel less damn empty all the time.

run run run

along the tip tip top
ran into a wall, confused
climb over the wall
Ha
consider the light; make it brighter
be surprised by the lights attractions
hold confidence and give compliments
consider the energy; make it warmer
be surprised by the sewed together fractions
bestow compliments and get compliments
dream of a trip
wake up and trip
consider the negative space; make it darker
be surprised by forgiving the forgets
You are alive every day.
