      "God" is the Sum Total of Universal Energy



      Many people debate about whether there is a God, or what God is. Is God an individual personality, sitting up in heaven listening to and granting our requests, or is God simply all the energy that exists in the whole universe? Well, I believe God is the second option here.

      The Bible says God is a spirit (John 4:24). It also says that the spirit, given by God, is what gives man understanding (Job 32:8). And finally, it says that God is light (I John 1:5).

      It is important to understand that ancient man described God with an ancient vocabulary and ancient idea sets, but that we can breathe new life into these verses by understanding what was really being said.

      What is light? It's energy. When a person is brain dead, no electrical activity registers on a EEG test. Why? Because his spirit, which is what brings life to the body and understanding to the mind, is electrical energy. And when the spirit leaves the body, the body dies because the energy which powered the body is no longer present. God is light, so he is energy, and both God and we are spirit beings. So God, and light, and energy, and the essence of each of us as spirit beings, is all the same. We are all made up of the same physical and spiritual essence: energy.

      Everything that exists in the universe is made up of energy. Every atom has electrons, sub-atomic particles containing an electrical charge, which orbit around the atom's nucleus. Every atom has energy. True, some atoms have more energy than others; some have more electrons orbiting their nucleus than others, and some are moving faster than others. The energy in a piece of wood is moving very slow compared to the energy in a pan of boiling water, but both contain the same kind of energy.

      There is a scientific law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it simply changes form (conservation of energy). To be more precise, it states that in a closed system (our universe, for the purposes of our discussion) energy is conserved. In other words, all the energy that ever existed, that was present at the beginning, still exists. God, who is all energy, in the beginning took from his own energy to make everything that exists. Biblical scholars have made much of the original language of Genesis 1:1 saying that the word "created" means "ex nihilo" or "out of nothing". In other words, God made everything from nothing. We must understand that biblical writers used their own limited vocabulary and knowledge of science to explain what they thought they saw or were told. The fact that the universe may have "appeared" out of nowhere does not mean it was created from nothing. Many forms of energy cannot be seen. Since God is energy, and we know that everything that exists is made from energy, and keeping in mind that energy cannot be created or destroyed, we see that God took from the pool of existing energy, which was HIM, and created everything there is. Therefore, not only are the atoms and molecules and sub-atomic particles in a blade of grass made by God, they are part of God himself. God took of his energy, and changed the appearance of some of it so that it looks different. But it is still a part of him, just as our hearts and livers are part of us. So every blade of grass, every raindrop, every animal, every human being, every biological microorganism, every molecule of wood that forms the chair you are sitting on is GOD. Not just part of God, but IS God. Everything is sacred, because everything is made from the energy that is God. This takes away the dividing line between secular and sacred.

      How can I say that? You might be thinking that to say everything is PART of God is understandable, but to say that everything IS GOD....how can that be? Because scientists have discovered that every particle of matter and energy that exists resonates on a particular frequency, and that every single particle is connected to and responds to every other particle through these frequencies. Everything is connected, part of the same whole and part of the same connected communication system.

      Let's put it in more concrete terms. A cell, or molecule, or atom on one side of the world, say in the United States, can communicate with any other cell, molecule or atom on the other side of the world, say in China, because they are able to signal each other with oscillating frequencies, and this communication happens non-locally and virtually instantaneously. It's like what happens with a radio. There are lots of frequencies out there with people talking on them, or music playing, and all you have to do is tune the dial of the radio to different frequencies to pick them up. Then if you have a transmitter you can talk back to them. That is what our atoms, molecules and cells do. They tune into whatever frequency they have to in order to communicate with other cells all over the world or the universe, in order to accomplish whatever goal they need to accomplish.

      Now, people can usually accept the idea that the cells, molecules and atoms in their BODIES communicate with each other so that the body can function the way it's supposed to. The body is a closed system, just like the universe. Just as all the particles in your body communicate so the body can function efficiently, all the particles in the universe do the same. They are all connected. Like one huge body. God's body.

      Basically, all energy is God, and there is no such thing as someone being "separated from God". God cannot be separated from his own body.....everything is connected, and within our ability to influence the outcome. We also can change the course of events by altering the oscillating frequencies which make communications within this system possible, through our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings.

      How can we say everything is part of God, and in fact IS God? Because every molecule, atom and particle that exists is connected by this energetic framework of oscillating frequencies which makes communication between each part possible. All molecules, cells, atoms and particles are connected to each other at every moment, and influence each others' activities. It's one big system designed to work together. My brain can communicate with yours, and your brain can communicate with your cat's; my brain can communicate with the cells of my body so they are led to heal themselves, and your brain can help direct healing energy to the bodies of other people who need healing. God uses this same energetic system to communicate to our brains, to our cells, to the raindrops which make up a thunderstorm, to anything.

      It's the reason why the stars and planets and their electromagnetic fields DO influence our thoughts, feelings and behavior, and psychic ability does in fact exist; that's what it's talking about in the Bible when it speaks of spiritual gifts like the gift of Prophecy, or Wisdom, or Knowledge. And the gifts of Healing or Miracles are simply examples of the ability to manipulate this energetic framework of oscillating frequencies so that you can direct it to do what you want. And the spirits of the dead, which are simply the sum total of that person's energetic essence, do exist in another dimensions and can communicate with us, and we with them, if we learn how to tune the dial to their frequency. This puts everything supernatural finally and very definitely in the natural, physical realm. Everything we thought was miraculous and not humanly possible IS possible. And people we used to denounce as witches are simply those who long ago learned to manipulate this energetic framework of oscillating frequencies. They learned to direct their energies through incantations and rituals. Christians learned to direct their energies through prayer (which is a prolonged type of meditation). Some people learned to direct their energies through meditations and visualizations. It's all a manipulaton of the same power grid. One way of manipulating it is not better than another. Prayer is not better than an incantation. Both work only because the user directs his focus and energy toward a particular end. And God has set the power grid up so that when we direct our energy, our thoughts and beliefs, our feelings, toward a particular end, it happens.

      Whatever technique we use to direct this energy, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that we learn the power of our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. God is Love because love is the most powerful tool at our disposal to redirect this energy. When Love is the reason we direct our energy through our thoughts toward a particular goal, that is the most powerful energy there is, and that goal will come to fruition.

Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."

      Okay so in short, in your eyes God is the personification of energy and you put some kind of Supreme value on energy, is this correct?

      So help me understand something. You used the following verses to draw reference to your definition of what the word God means to you.

      Why would you use those verses in the Scriptures to incorporate your definition of God but omit these?

      Why the verses that draws reference to personality characteristics of God you have not included?

      Doesn't the Scriptures not make it pretty clear that God has a distinct personality?

      These parts in bold. Does this not give examples of a personality trait or examples of 'willed' powers? If you say God as 'done' something, you are giving him conscious attributes and traits. If God has given energy from himself does this not show and indication of a conscious decision? Or the will to make things happen by conscious direction?

      I do understand where you're getting at but this is how I see it. You and I scientifically are made up of the same substance. We share certain biological and molecular qualities that are of the same substance. But although we share these things you and I are not one in the same. We just share the same background.

      Don't take this the wrong way, but what's really funny about this is the fact that you've crated this thread titled "Proof that Christianity is Farce" But you draw reference from a Christian Bible to incorporate certain qualities of what your definition of God is. Doesn't that seem a bit weird to you?

      Now just take a look at this for a moment. Think about it. Why would you draw reference from these verses if you do not believe in them?

      Thank God we agree on something finally!

      I don't know what this thread has turned into now but to claim that a few contradictions disproves a whole belief system is pathetic.
      The starz...
      The planets...
      The intricate and dynamic machinery of nature...
      Are you saying,
      that all of this was created,
      BY A MONKEY??????

      Basically i bel;ieve god is the universal mind, Also i meant to post this earlier, I did miss state the title of this thread, when i wrote it i didn't have a good title for it so just ran with that one, then realized a little later that i couldn't change it. I meant to present those passages to show that most of the followers of this religion have lost the true meaning of the religiong and do not study it thoroughly. I apologize i posted and didn't proof read and for that i mistaked my purpose and spoke foolishly. I take the bible as a teaching as a Zen master would teach. Wisdom and Knowledge passed down from generations. I do not believe Seerving god in the way Christians do, i believe the idea of serving god was that you're supposed to reflect what god represents, which is love and compassion... Again i apologize for the arrogant titeling which brought others into the conversation with a mislead idea of what i was trying to present.

      I don't know what this thread has turned into now but to claim that a few contradictions disproves a whole belief system is pathetic.
      I didn't mean to present the idea that it disproves the Christian beliefe system, i meant it as a Very Large amount of the followers of the religion do not know one of the most important points made in the entire scripture that holds the teachings of that religion. Which is that to have true faith in that God according to that god you should not have any material object which is a virtual representation of him or his son, but to just have faith alone, not a "star" to wear around your kneck, or a "cross" to hang on your wall, or a "fish" to put on your cars bumper.... The pictures hung in churches and the stained glass windows and the statues are all Idols...
