We are God as not-God

God is and has been and will be all that is and was and ever can be. God is eternal, infinite, and one. At some "time" it was God's "thought" to experience not-being-God. This "thought" was what we call the Big Bang from which the tangible universe was created.

The universe and all life and things in it are the opposite of God: limited, separate, and subject to change, aging, and death. This is what is meant when we say we live in a world of opposites. It is through the universe that God experiences not-being-God.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We are the infinite in the finite. Each of us is part of God and it is that spirit that is our true self. We live in the dream we have created, believing in our limited, mortal forms and not knowing our true eternal selves.

It is only by the gradual awakening of our spirits that we eventually rise to knowledge of our divine nature. As Shakespeare said, the world is but a stage. We never die, only assume different roles. When the play is over, we will know who we truly are.

We are God in human form experiencing not-being-God.

Life is Simple

We are God.

God is all that has existed, exists or ever can exist.

God is One and is unbounded by time, space, matter or anything else. God is ALL and knows ALL. And that’s where we come in.

We are God not yet aware that we are God. This allows us (God) to know that which we otherwise could not know, such as separation, birth, death and all the ills and joys that finite life is heir to. To know ALL God must know these things.

We are God not yet aware of our Godhood so that we can experience all that is limited and finite.

And this limited, finite state must of course end. After all, it is limited and finite. We are now in the process of witnessing that end. We are waking from our finite dream.

For further reading, I suggest the poem Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold, which can be found at the site http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/18/

If you cry, remember that God could never cry without living the human experience. And a God that cannot cry is no God at all.

God, Humanity, Infinity

Whether or not you believe in God, you would probably agree that one of God’s characteristics would have to be that It is infinite, without beginning, end or limitation. There must be nowhere and nothing in the universe or any of its dimensions that is not God. So what does that say about humanity?

We are the finite part of the story. Note the word play: the finite is literally in the in-finite. It is our manifestation as human that we (God) experience birth, life, sickness, triumph, failure, death and all the rest of our finite aspect. We are the infinite experiencing the finite. God is the yin yang, a whole encompassing both the finite and the infinite.

Which all boils down to the truth that We are God. We are infinite yet as human we experience the finite, the defining characteristic of which is separation. Genesis 1:2 says that the universe began "without form, and void." It was all one in its emptiess but our created uniferse is diverse, with trillions and trillions of separate animate and inanimate, intelligent and non-intelligent forms.

And the beginning for that diversity came when God (which we are) said “Let there be light.” The light (knowing) is God, the dark (unknowing) is what we (God) experience as mortal creatures. This is the way that an eternal infinte being can know what it is like to live with limitation and death. As Shaesperre siad: "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.…”

Life is but a dream. And we are God playing hide and seek with oursevles.
