Belief in the Divine without Religion or Stories?

Question

Do you think its possible?

I do.....because I am living proof of it.

And for those who read my previous questions to atheists.....
Im sorry that its okay for you to criticize religious and spiritual people, but when it comes to criticizing an atheist's beliefs, its wrong.
Sorry that some of you atheists might feel that way.

Answer 1

Yes, another name for a similar belief is Theosophy, literally "wisdom of the divine" (Greek: θεοσοφία theosophia), designates several bodies of ideas which hold that all religions are attempts by humanity to approach the absolute, and that each religion therefore has a portion of the truth.

Basically you believe in the Divine nature of reality or existence without attributing it to any one deity.

If you like this sort of philosophies I highly recommend reading anything by Jane Roberts, she was a well-known medium whose ideas are the base for many present philosophical theories.

As for atheism, I find it to be a hypocritical and lazy religion (and yes as a belief system it could be categorized as a religion) it seems to me many of the atheists I have met reject Christianity for whatever reason and then didn't' bother to look into other forms of spirituality. I used to think I was an atheist till I realized you can't be a true atheist unless you've spent at least a few year reading and researching your spirituality, which I did to discover I actually wasn't an atheist, I was agnostic. So for anyone claiming to be an atheist, you're just a clueless ignoramus unless you've taken the time to do your homework and have decided after examining philosophical ideas from all walks of life that you still believe in nothing.

And if there really is nothing out there then I'm okay with it too, I'd rather have oblivion than be stuck in limbo for eternity or something.

Well then you do not exist! Because, if you believe in the Divine then you have a story that is your personal development with that which you feel is "divine". Without a relationship meaning a relating phenomenon that establishes your belief system with that individual, thing or item. No relational experience no relationship, no relationship then it is just a concept of "Divine" with no working aspects, for if they are only conepts in your mind then how do you know they are true or false, positive or negative if they are not tried, and found that this "Divine" is truly or not the "Divine" of your belief system. A belief system is that which governs your life, has an impact, molds, dictates and sets perameters for which you live and move and have your being. All people everywhere, have a belief system, because they form it all their lives and live by what they believe or adhere to the most. Thus we get to the other portion of it involving "religion". Religion is the dynamics which perameters have been established, by the relationship with the Divine or concepts of the Divine. Without a religious corpus one can not have a Divine Being, else you yourself define the "Divine Being" thus making yourself God, and we go through the same things as noted above

Therefore a belief system will have "stories" relating ones position to the "divine" which will in turn form ones religion that revolves around the "devine". No way around, no ifs ands or buts about it, you can not have a belief system with them. If you think that you can - then you are only deluding yourself.

It is not wrong to criticise an atheist beliefs :D ...... It is good to provide proof when you criticise too, or else you will end up like the die hard christians who are trying to push their god down other people's throat.

Anyway, being Agnostic is fine. There are quite a few Agnostic people here. Apparently they are on better terms with the atheists then the christians ;).

The Agnostic, in personal view, more rational people then the die hard christians. They do not try to push down what they felt is right to you, they respect the idea all have their own true freewill to decide.

Answer 4

Yes, it's quite possible. It's generally called deism, if you believe that the deity did not directly manifest or reveal itself, or just general 'theism' if you believe there's a deity that may have revealed itself in some way to its creation.

You'll notice I did not criticize you, however. But I'd still like to see your proof that the visible universe is 'created'.

Answer 5

Religion, dogma, and myths are not the essence of spirituality, but rather just how spirituality expresses itself at a particular level of consciousness.

Answer 6

It's totally possible. One can have a feeling of awe for the higher intelligence and the vastness of it all without religion or dogma.

Remember to include yourself in that divine.

Answer 7

You left one out. "It is extra main to be virtuous along with your "possess" ideals and morals and now not comply with "any" faith. We are all debris of God, now not faith, God. Our virtues are inbred, and reside inside each one in every of us. Not each one has the identical definition of God, I name Energy that's the drive in the back of all life 'God.' Astrophysicists now consider that there are Multi-Universes, on the subject of in which the particle that used to be smaller than an atom used to be earlier than it exploded. :) It's in general unending.

Answer 8

Are you a Deist by chance? It's possible only if you're a Deist.
