I do not disagree with you Tony. I just have a few more questions than most people permit themselves to entertain. Take, for instance, a Bigger Picture.... How many stars are there in our galaxy called the Milky Way? How many of those stars have occupied planets? How many occupied planets are there in ONE galaxy? How many galaxies are in this one photo of a teeny-weeny portion of our night sky? How many of the countless peoples on these countless planets moving through countless galaxies have formed spiritual beliefs and written them down in their sacred texts? How many of those countless texts would agree with each other? Where would they agree and where would they differ? Where and how did they get their "divine revelations"? If you say they all got it from the same One Source then you have to explain how One Source/Entity can somewhat successfully communicate with all those countless people (in their own languages) independent of Time and Space. The only thing we know of that operates independent of Time and Space is Mind sometimes called consciousness and sometimes called undifferentiated or scalar waves by science. So could we then say God communicates to his peoples from His Mind and into their Consciousnesses? Would that be like so-called telepathy; i.e., direct communication from Divine Mind to maybe our 'Lesser Mind'? And what exactly is 'Mind' or 'Consciousness'? Is it "awareness" of self and non-self? Whatever it is is Mind not known to us via our thoughts? Are not then our thoughts a portion of our Mind? Are not then our thoughts an EXPRESSION of our Mind? Are not words an effect of our thoughts? Therefore our words, like our thoughts, are an expression of our Mind. So when a sacred text refers to the "Word of God" could it not be referring to an EXPRESSION of God? Is not then the word of God His expression? And can that Divine Expressioning take on different modes such as talking burning bushes (Moses) and thunderous disembodied voices, spontaneous revelation to consciousness (Peter), etc.? My deeper feelings would have me question everything and suppose there is much more to this than we, sitting on this tiny and seemingly insignificant spec of dust in a back corner of our galaxy, could surmise from our all too brief view and contemplation of Time and Space and all that it means. |
