Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: yes true we all have a ministry to complete but sometimes we can be very stuborn like me and not obey!.Www@QuestionHome@Com You use the term 'Mind of God' and I can't say I trust myself to understand that term the same way as you do!. However in higher states of consciousness it is easily verifiable that we are all conscious and that that consciousness is God (unifying)!. In that sense we are each like tiny hairs on the earth that allows God to be aware of everything via us!. Of course each person is aware to a certain degree but not aware of their awareness!. This is probably because of negative emotions, ego, selfishness, imaginary picture of ourselves, desires in the moment, lost in useless thought etc!. If all of that were gone, we would be aware that our awareness is indeed divine!.

But I think the Spinozistic holism that results when we see ourselves as part of Divinity creates a powerful and profound sense of moral and ethical responsibility, which is why I'm drawn toward it moreso than I am Orthodox Christianity!. We are in charge of what we do, and if you believe in Salvation, it's ours to be had or lost!. -JohnWww@QuestionHome@Com Rita, Do you!? It doesn't matter what I think!. We are marvelous creatures that can create!! The more of us that get together in one conversation on a subject we all recognize and care for, the greater that conversation and energy level becomes!. We are all connected!. If the mind can create it - it exists!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Curious idea but until you can formulate a testable hypothesis with well formulated definitions for what you are talking about and test and verify it, it is just day dreaming!. Don't waste your time!. Metaphysics cannot be verified!.Www@QuestionHome@Com i don't think so!. i think we have the ability to think like 1 trillionth of what he thinks in one second!. maybe less cause he's that great!. but i do not think our true nature is divine!. our true nature is innocence!. !. that's for sure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Humans are created in the image of God!. 'Atma' is the part of 'Parmatma' ( i!.e Human Soul is part of God) !. Thus if we are cast from same stock then we are having Divine within !.Www@QuestionHome@Com I believe we have two minds, one connected to the collective and the other our own logical human mind with free will to an extent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com We are all manifestations of the divine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Definitely if we allow our self to be receivers of God words and wisdom!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes, humans are created in God's image!.Www@QuestionHome@Com As God is all we are one with God !.Www@QuestionHome@Com Great question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
