Are there any likeminded spirits here?

Question

I believe the Earth is a living organism ans it has a spiritual consciousness, much like we humans. When you look at a satellite picture you do not see the individual living organisms, you see one major organism. Therefore, similar to the bacteria in our stomaches that digest our food, we humans are one type of micro organism on Earth, and there are many different types of micro organisms might I add... Are there any other spirits who are not self righteous and do not suffer from a superior Godly complex?

Answer 1

This is a bit like when you sit in a room full of mirrors with reflections that get smaller and smaller and go on for eons. If humans are indeed micro organisms then we ourselves reduce to smaller and smaller organisms within us ... looking the other way, perhaps the universe is an organism in itself? Perhaps that indeed is the meaning of life ... where everything is dependent upon each other. And where does the micro organism cease to be micro? The only constraint in answering that is our ability to think beyond what we can see and understand. And like the universe, debating your question could go on for ever. Great question!

Answer 2

Not me matey boy. I'm nothing like you. I have all sorts of strange imperfections going on.

I think your psychology is up side down. If we say we are not then we might may or probably are. The so called tolerant seem to be the most intolerant and the non self righteous would be perfect. I glare at the pretence of perfection.>>>>>>>>eats a custard cream.

Answer 3

There were many Christian & non-Christian mystics (and I'm sure there are many alive today) able to "see" sound and "hear" light - beyond the dimensions most of us imagine.

Many Franciscan mystics wrote of trees, rocks, and even the earth herself with a "glowing" aura. This concept of the Earth is not contrary to Christian beliefs. The Christian mystics believe it to be the imprint of the Creator on the created.

I recommend reading up on St. Francis of Assisi - "Brother Sun, Sister Moon," for example.

Answer 4

I am with you on this. The Earth as a living body may not meet our standard criteria for life, but our dictionary definition is a limited one based on the observable world in a universe so vast we cannot, at this point, fathom it.

I am a monist -- in addition to other attributions -- and that idea fits right in with my monistic philosophy.

Answer 5

So the point of your dissertation was to complain about the self-righteoous and those with a superior Godly complex. One question - why spell Godly with a capital G?

Answer 6

I agree that the earth is a single living organism, and as long as we don't see it as such, we will never truly understand it or treat it with the respect deserved.

Answer 7

Sounds like Paganism to me. The core of our beliefs is the reverence for the Earth as our creator and ultimate destroyer. There are so many different view points, and in our religion we regard all of them as valid. I feel what you are saying.

Answer 8

A lot of people feel like you. No, I do not. There is no objective evidence of the supernatural. It is all wishful thinking. Reason is the best tool we have to Shepperd the world's future.

Answer 9

Yeah, I feel that I am similar to this idea. I am not a person that believes that Mother Nature is out to get me or anything like that though...

Answer 10

I am not a spirit, I am a human. I'm not particularly self-righteous, but I do think you are spouting a load of old bollocks! The Gia crap has long since been debunked, even it's inventor now admits it's a bit cringeworthy.
