Can You Imagine?
Although not yet scientifically proven, the concept that spiritual energy exists in all living things is supported is some ways by several quantum physics theories. Our definition of spirit or soul is “the force or principle of life that animates the bodies of living things.” The word comes from the Latin, spiritus, which means breathing. Breath is life. Life is God, and thus, the spirit of God is within us.
Unfortunately, while designing the man-made religious doctrines that have stymied scientific studies throughout our history, this concept was misinterpreted to provide us with a single, omniscient God; and while it was impossible to describe such a being, we designed the dogma so that we were made in His image.
Imagine, though, that God is not an individual entity. God is neither a he nor a she nor an alien entity… not even a single thing. God is everything that your eye can see, your fingers can touch, your ears can hear, your nose can smell, your tongue can taste and… all that your conscious minds can imagine. God is not an omniscient being that knows all and sees all. God does not control everything you do. God does not cause earthquakes or storms, nor does God have a plan for everyone’s life.
Let’s use the human body, which everyone is thoroughly familiar with, as an analogy. Imagine your body as the universe, the entire universe and everything that you can see from the starfish and sand on the floor of the ocean to the further sun in deep space. Your body is composed of organs, arteries, muscles and bone. Within your body, there are innumerable cells, and within each of these cells, countless atoms and smaller still… a trillion, trillion and more quarks.
Now, imagine that each organ and bone in your body is a galaxy… the Milky Way, for example; and each artery and vein is a connection between the galaxies. Each cell in your body, be it a muscle cell or a blood cell or a fat cell… each of these represents a world within the galaxy. The atoms within each cell are analogous to the different races of people and animals, plants and rocks, streams and oceans… all manner of things. Within each atom are quarks, the smallest portion of the whole… yet, this is the piece of God that resides in all living things.
The Church and all religions from Paganism to Judaism to Islam were founded on man-made ideas and principles. God has not dictated rituals or dogma. God has not established what is sin… or even - what is good and what is not. All of the religions of this world, and all worlds where religions of some form exist, have been designed and used as tools to control people through fear… the fear of the unknown and the fear of death. There are certainly aspects of religion that benefit mankind, prayer and the philanthropic efforts of religious groups are two examples. God is not a single, omniscient being that sees all and knows all; rather, God is a collective entity that knows all and sees all.
Metaphorically speaking, prayer is a plea to the omniscient version of God. He (in all monotheist religious, God is male) listens to everyone’s prayers and decides who gets what they want and who doesn’t. Like the mythological Santa Claus – God decides who’s been naughty and who’s been nice. Instead, when one prays, they are thinking; the conscious mind is generating energy which spreads throughout the universe. Think of radio waves as an analogy. These waves of energy spread throughout the entire universe and are eventually answered by other spiritual energies. Often, an answer to a prayer is not recognized because the recipient does not believe and cannot imagine that his or her prayer has been answered. The universe that is God answers all prayers… whether the recipient recognizes the answer is fodder for further discussion.
In the interim… can you imagine?
