lot belief 3.3

Good morning. Welcome back. That was captivating day.  I see I have lost some of the comments that were there, but we are all here and we can rebuild.  I would like to thank all of you for coming back and leaving a comment. Just so we can get back to the exercise here is the start of this debate.

What do you believe that is the question?

 Do you have a soul? Is there a god? Is the world flat? Did a man go to the moon? Are there ghosts? Does big foot exist? Are we the only living being in the universe?

What is belief?

Belief is “acceptance by the mind that something is true or real, often underpinned by an emotional or spiritual sense of certainty” from a dictionary. Wow! Now that opens up more questions. What is the mind? What is true? What is real? What is emotional? What is spiritual? What is certainty?

An Experiment

Just for the fun of it take and read the first set of questions again and answer each with the word “no” write the answers down somewhere. Then do it again this time answer “yes”. Was there a change? What changed?

Take one the first questions and in the comments leave your thoughts on the question. Don’t be shy write all you would like to on one question. The comments are open to all, no cipher to post a comment.  For the next week I will see if I can come up with the best answer to each. This should be fun and interesting.   Tomorrow I will address the first one “do you have a soul”. 

I was talking about god and creation of the universe when the blogosphere imploded.  There was a person who had posted a comment, that I wish had not been lost. Anyway I went to his site to look around. And saw something beautiful. Something he did not know that he was showing. They say that a picture is a thousand words. He is a photographer; the picture was of a reflection on still water. A reflection the definition form the dictionary “the image of somebody or something that appears in a mirror or other reflecting surface, or careful thought, especially the process of reconsidering previous actions, events, or decisions.”

He also had a thought and a quote of a proverb "we cannot see our reflection in running water. It is only in still water we can see… Taoist proverb.”  If you look at his pictures, they are beautiful, and note the reflection. In our minds eye we see a thought a reflection a vision of what we would like to see in reality. In the photo’s you can see both at the same point in time. Could this be the way creation started? Maybe you can see god in you. Here are to photo blogs where you can see this. http://alfandi-photoramblings.blogspot.com/ and http://jpweddingphotograpy.blogspot.com/2011/04/few-amazing-images-of-heron-fishing.html

If you check out these blog leave a comment and come back her and leave your thought. Did you see what I saw?

 Thank you and God Bless

The universe is made up of space, matter, and energy. Each has its own identity. A person is made up of mind, body, and soul.  Throughout all religions and cultures there is a story of creation, sometimes referred to as creation myths, from the dictionary a myth is (a traditional story about heroes or supernatural beings, often attempting to explain the origins of natural phenomena or aspects of human behavior)? The stories differ little; they all start out pretty much like this “in the beginning”. Science has come up with some called theories the big bang theory, evolution theory, and chaos theory, from the dictionary theories are (an idea of or belief about something arrived at through speculation or conjecture). Now I see little difference between a myth and a theory.  Both are attempts to explain how some things happen or works, a theory become a myth with age. If a myth or theory gets proven to be true they become fact or law.

For me the big bang and the bible story are the same. The mystery to me is how primitive man came up with the bible story and how primitive modern man is on the subject? The bible story lay out the event s over six day. The big bang does the same the only difference is what or who set off the explosion. Let there be light. Boom! That is good. That is god. How long did that take? I know it was some kids play with a ball and it got away for them, and it went thru the window. No! You have this big empty space, it is dark and somewhat lonely, and so you light a match, wrong thing to do. There is a gas leak. Boom! Now it not dark or lonely the fire departments just showed up. Now you see what you have done, you blew yourself in to a billion-billion pieces. It’s the thought that counts.  Hey just wait one cotton picking minute. We have the big bang, creation causality, relativity, chaos, evolution, ALL at the same time, and time starts.

I think I will say thank you and god bless.

Is there a god, and the answer is yes. There are many religions that tell you how to live; I am not talking about religion. I am talking about the almighty one and only god. The creator of all thing seen and unseen. For those that don’t know me I am just one man, I am not a religious person. I am not person who has a lot of training or schooling in religion although my momma tried. What I write here are my thoughts and mine alone.  As many of you have seen I sign off with “thank you and god bless” some of you may have seen or watch the red Skelton show years ago. Well I stole the phrase from him.

What is god? Who is god? Where is god? Is there any proof of his existence? The general description is, he is omnipotent “possessing complete, unlimited, or universal power and authority” he is all-knowing; he is eternal “lasting for all time without beginning or end”. He is the creator of all things.

Now there are some who say that he does not exist. I am not one of them. For me there is no question of his existence. If I exist then so does god. I am not him but I do exist. He is part of me and you. You have no choice. Believe it or not he is part of you.

Now this may seem a little simple minded but here is what I know of god. If you remove all matter and energy from the universe what do you have?  You have a void or abyss” something that is immeasurably deep or infinite” of no dimension an endless, no time, nothing, seamless emptiness, It does exist. This is the proof that god exist. Matter and energy need this void to exist. Matter and energy without it would have no diffusion “the random movement of atoms, molecules, or ions from one site in a medium to another, resulting in complete mixing” noting would have a shape, there would be no time.

 Look at this electron microscope image of a water drop. You can see there is a void between the water molecules. If we could look deeper into the molecule you will see more of the absence of matter, the void, “god”. God knows all things and is in all things. That is you and me. The void is everywhere, at the same time, there is no pasted, present or future, it is existence, there is only one void “god”. If you want to think of love, what pure love can you find?  god is within you always.

For now thank you and god bless

The next question is there a god. And as the rules for this the answer is no. to say this is a hard one for me, because I know otherwise. But here we go, (god) from the dictionary “the being (a living thing, especially one conceived of as supernatural or not living on Earth) believed in monotheistic religions such as Judaism, Islam, and Christianity to be the all-powerful all-knowing creator of the universe, worshiped as the only god.”

From a scientific view mainly from physic “the universe and all thing exist as casualty of the inter action of atom.”

From a person who does not believe “if there was a god why would there be sickness, death, cruelty, war, bad weather, earth quake.”

I need your help here as I said this is hard for me because I know god exist. So if there a person that can make a good argument please post a comment.

thank you and god bless

lot belief-2.2

The soul so far in this exercise, we have found that the feeling of one’s existence is the soul. Here is another look at the soul. A person gets in a car; they can go just about anywhere they have a mind to.

 The car can take on the identity of the person driving it. The car cannot do much without a driver.   A person can get on a horse and like in the car they can go just about anywhere. 

The difference here is the horse can and does go just about anywhere without a person. The soul (person) was in control of the car and the horse. Here we are going from point A to B or from birth to death of the car or horse. A soul can exist without a car or a horse, and can and does exist after using the car or horse. There is some else that we can glean from this. The horse has a mind of its own. It can make choices to go or not go where you want. A horse won’t go where if see a danger but a car will.

 A person has to learn to ride a horse or drive a car. A soul has to learn to use the body it inhabits.  For now I will move on to the next question of this exercise and will come back and look at this one again. Thing about this and tell me what you think? 

thank you and god bless

lot belief-2.1

“The eye is the window to the soul” they don’t know who said this the first time but it was written down some time in 110 BCE.

 The experiment of looking at the sun is a bit of a trick, to get you to see the image you see when there is no light.  You have to look inside yourself to find your soul.  There have been many scientific studies to determined if and what the soul is.  All the results have been debated by many great minds.  From weighting the body at death to recording brain waves, many photos are said to show the soul leaving the body. The data from this test can be explained by the laws of physic; the photo can be edited of tricked.  However the first hand reports of people who have had a near death experience tell the same story. The images that I have posted in part 2 are what I have seen. People who have passed out have reported the same vision. The bright white light with the pink hue, the tunnel that which strangely looks like the birth canal, is reported by all who have been there.  Some people say that our thoughts or the ability to think is the soul. I me myself thoughts are not the soul. Thought is not the soul.  The soul is the feeling of conscious existence of being. Our emotions come from the soul and are the existence of the soul.   Love, hate, sorrow, happy, sad, hope, joy, fear are feeling, the expression of the soul.

Here is the big one. We are as humans beings possessed by a spirit a soul that is freely join in a physical form, to learn to how to sort out its existence, it consist of three parts faith, hope and love.  We have been told this before. Think on it.

Thank you and god bless
