Some thoughts on the existence of God and the human condition
God does not exist; God is.
Since 1964 when I read about Carl Jung’s Collective Unconscious Mind I have been convinced that we are all connected. Having read and studied further in the realms if Shinto, Zen and other spiritual paths in life I have extended that thinking to include all life forms and even the rocks and trees. Everything is connected.
Recently I have read that researchers have discovered that the mind exists outside the body. So let’s add this into the equation too.
This would then mean that when our physical body dies our mind is free of whatever tethers it and can roam the Universe seeking a new home, body, or whatever it needs, if anything.
I propose that we are all God and that we all exist as a part of the Universal Life Force, infinitely connected to all things and each other, both past and present.
God is not a person, being, ghost, single spirit of any actual definable thing.
This may be where the concerns of the atheists are rooted; the personification and objectification of God.
The concept of God as some divine spirit person is, however, necessary; not all people can embrace the fact that they are responsible for their own existence and not enacting the will of God.
There is a force that links all matter wherever it may be. All life forms, all plants, animals and humans. Even the rocks, sands and waters of the planet.
Most civilisations and societies try and explain this as God, but personally I think that is far to limiting and minimised by humanly perceived concepts. God is a good label though, and sits well with the majority of humanity.
Those of us that want to think further and delve into the very fabric of the universe are more likely to embrace the asian concept of Ki or Ch’i.
May The Force be with you
