Survey: What is your opinion on my belief system?

Question

I feel that "God" is an over-simplification of the driving force behind the universe. My view is that particles form atoms which form molecules that form compounds that ultimately brought about a cell which forms tissue that forms organs, etc. All those things are related and at the same time operate independantly and dependantly of each other. I feel that the universe may be one large living entity that has a subconcious/concious (metaphorically) way of controlling itself just as with the human body or as with other forms of life. Think of a ray of light. It may seem insignificant it may be ONE ray but what if that one ray happened to shine on the earth hitting a piece of dew in the desert where it is really hot and dry and it magnifies sparking a fire in an oasis causing it to completely burn down? Do you understand where I'm going with this? I prefer answers from those whom are philisophically inclined. I don't want answers from laymen.

Answer 1

This is, as it is. The Universe IS a living entity and is reflected within us. You touched on the infinite scope of everything, our universe being a molecule or atom, and hence any molecule or atom within our shell is also a universe, which has planets, people and more atoms, that have even more universes. I have an infinite # of life forms living in my shell as I type this note, while I also dwell in an atom of a much larger being. The ray of light thing, appears to be an attempt to find relevance, noting that even the most insignificant part of our universe can have a profound effect on the larger environment. I actually find this hard to believe ( just the having an effect part ), as I am not convinced that the effect wave would not be reciprocal to the level of impact ( source ).

Answer 2

Cause and effect but you seem to be looking for an intelligence behind the cause, a strategy. You seem to be denying the God of the blind and seeking your own god, that fits into your way of looking at things. Bravo! That is what it's all about. I believe that we contain our own Gods, that they are projections from within onto the physical world which may or may not be real, and may or not be the same place to everyone else (probably not). There a re six billion people, there should be six billion gods--there are not. Too many want the work done for them; they will have dissappointing deaths. They have dissappointing lives, at least from my outward perspective. God should only evey be defined by a person, never to a person. Keep on. (by the way, I agree, we all do our part, we all have an effect, each person, each grain of sand, each ray of light)

Answer 3

Your beliefs are interesting.
We are all told to aaccept that the universe is a limitless expanse.
WHat about the microverse? How small do things get.
Is there a whole universe inside of a electron?
Are we part of a a larger system?

It makes me wonder. I think the really interesting thing is that many systems follw the same design. Like the solar system, the galaxy and atoms all contain little things swirling around larger things. It has to mean somehting.

Answer 4

One way to see the impact that seemingly unrelated things have on each other can be examined through chaos theory. I'm sure you've heard of the butterfly effect.

I've thought that the earth may have some form of consciousness and is at the moment trying to get rid of us (and all other life if needs) through rising temperatures, tides, earthquakes and tidal waves. to stop the damage we are doing to her.

I'm not sure where you're going with the ray of light - sure a ray of light can have a profound effect things seemingly bigger than itself but does this signify that the ray of light has a consciousness - not to me.

Answer 5

In evaluating an argument, we consider separately the truth of the premises and the validity of the logical relationships between the premises, any intermediate assertions and the conclusion. The main logical property of an argument that is of concern to us here is whether it is truth preserving, that is if the premises are true, then so is the conclusion. We will usually abbreviate this property by saying simply that argument is valid.

If the argument is valid, the premises together entail or imply the conclusion.

The ways in which arguments go wrong tend to fall into certain patterns, called logical fallacies.

You need to learn how to structure your argument. You're all over the place.

Answer 6

I don't understand quite where you are going with the idea of a living universe/cosmos, and I'm not quite sure what your example with the ray of light burning down the oasis means. I think you need to try to explain it again but perhaps try to structure it a bit more to show how one thing leads onto another.

Feel free to contact me if you want someone to bounce ideas of.

"Allah" is arabic for "The God." Islam, Judaism, and maximum of Christianity understand the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as being "our lord god" (oftentimes translated from "Jehovah) in the KJV translation. i'm not sensible how different translations cope with it, so i am going to follow what i recognize. the rationalization I reported "maximum of Christianity" because there are those who insist that Jesus is God (Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthians, made a sparkling vast vast difference between God the daddy and the Lord Jesus Christ) and who reject the theory that Allah (The God) is the God of Christianity. in reality, they insist that in case you do not have self assurance that Jesus Christ is God (genuinely and punctiliously), then you definitely are not Christian (they have created their own doctrine - that's not Biblical). There are similarities between each and each of the important international religions. lots of the similarities are in the overall teachings. Others are in how we view ourselves. those similarities have led some to finish that deity in those type of religions are a similar deity. that ought to or received't be the case, yet I do have self assurance that it began with a unique perception gadget and that over the centuries that guy has replaced the training (for inspite of reason) and that now, the religions have some similarities, yet have of route chop up. Christianity, for sure, has the clearest get mutually of this in the great schism and then the protestant reformation. All of Christianity accepts Jesus because the Christ to one degree or yet another, yet they don't all prepare a similar doctrines and dogma.

Answer 8

Well... for an atheist or even a religious person with no proof, that theory may seem reasonable. But when you see ghots and go through ACTUAL spiritual experiences, then you just CAN'T doubt it anymore. You obviously haven't experienced anything of this kind... and hopefully you won't HAVE to.

“The word Bharat simply means one who takes His pleasure in Divinity. That means, all citizens of Bharat should have their pleasure and happiness fixed in God”

“Vedas (old scriptures of Bharat) teach that man should adore and worship God in gratitude for His benedictions. The Bible teaches that man should pray for peace and practice charity. The Quran would have man show mercy to the suffering and surrender his will to the Divine. The Buddhist texts teach the lesson of detachment and sense control. The Zendavasta exhorts man to get rid of evil propensities and shine in his own innate glory.”

“India has been teaching since ages the message of the spirit and means to gain and ensure equanimity and joy. The prayer that she has taught her people is, ‘May all people everywhere be happy’.”

“This is the consummation of Hindu thought since time immemorial. The wholesome ideals were practiced by the rulers of Bharat, but later due to vicissitudes in the country’s history when the people were subjected to pressures, these ideals suffered a setback. The faith got diversified and got crystallized into specific identifiable names and forms. Each new attitude became a special sect and every theory enveloped itself in its own shell. Thus the Vedic religion became the parent of a number of sects and types of belief. Each of these sects elaborated their own rituals and modes of worship, their own priorities in spiritual attainment, and their own body of doctrines about the objective world and God. But in all cases the main theme was to purify the mind and to insist on the practice of high moral virtues. But soon this was ignored and the craving for personal aggrandizement and power made every sect, faith and religion rigid and dry.”

“Today sons and daughters of Bharat, where the lesson of One-ness was first taught, go to Western countries and propagate the ‘the many’; Westerners come to India from cultures hailing diversity, to learn and propagate ‘the One’. It is a complete turn-around! We have to accept the value and practice the teachings of the great men we revere. Mere oratory is not enough; it only reveals hypocrisy. We must welcome the good in Western culture and amalgamate it with our own Vedic traditions and spiritual ideals, and help the children of this land to progress towards a happy, useful life. They should march equally fast and forward in all spheres of life – material, moral and spiritual. We should expect obstacles and overcome them.”

“The fundamental teaching of the ancient culture of India is love. For generations the youth have been advised, encouraged and taught by percept and example to love the poor, the helpless, the handicapped and the disabled, for the same spark of Divinity that is in us, is also active in them.”
