A Loving God

All aboard the woo woo train.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I must confess I believe I have experienced a Divine Intervention. It did not change a single external/physical aspect of my objective life. But it changed a great deal inside me. Without going into detail, that was the authoring of my experiential faith, which transformed believing perhaps there is a God to knowing God exists (omnipresent awareness) and I am interpenetrated (transparent) to it's mind which permeates the universe as the background field that all phenomena vibrates upon. It is perfectly still, inter-penetrating and permeating everything in the universe. It was both an awesome and terrifying experience and I could only withstand the experience for less than a literal minute. And when I contracted out of fear, the experience left me.

The only "knowledge" it imparted to me was it's self existent presence.

What I present as my model are the works I've done there after to explain it to my mind, accounting for as much of the universe, inside through personal exploration and outside by scientific evidence that I can fit into my mind....which is being forced not only to grow and shed skins of ego but grow new organs of perception and forms of operations beyond single self/single lifetime paradigms. I have much growth still ahead of me.


It's also encouraging to find that I'm not the first to describe GOD and creation in this manner. Many ancient origin stories (Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek,) begin with an infinite undifferentiated, formless substance often describe as water and the space of the universe is made from a separation of the waters often by vibration of some kind like the blowing of a couch shell by Vishnu or the speaking of "The Word" by Re/Ra and YHVH. The Ain Soph Aur and Tzimtuzm of mystic Judaism tells of and limitless light of God that is contracted into 10 viels that hide the face of God from the space of creation which exists like a tent with a 7 branched golden lamp-stand in the center giving off light.

In my model, the individual universes have 10 membrane like divisions that are nested together supra-symmetrically to form a holographic unit. The above is like the below and the inside is like the outside. They are the "veils" God left in the wake of it's contraction so as not to overwhelm all space with 100% mass. They unfold naturally and in order like the colors from unified "white" light. Only instead of a static 2d spread of EM frequency it's a dynamic, counter balanced 3d spread of space-time relativity.

I cut/add cars and jump tracks at will but I'm sure you can keep up. Wink

If not, just hold still I'll return to the station in time.

RE: A Loving God
It's common for people to make an attempt at justifying the actions of a God that does not necessarily coincide with their personal morality, or belief of what God should be. There are multiple versions of God, Hell, Heaven, you name it. I'm beginning to think the Bible is nothing more than an ancient 'choose your own adventure' book.

There is no real God. It is an ancient concept that that is no longer relevant.

One day I took more than one of these devilish Bamenhotep goats head pentagram blotters and then my friend said "Ya know, those are window panes."

No, how the fuck is a pentagram supposed to be interpreted as a window pane by the unsuspecting! 

I survived.

Well, I do believe in the God of the bible and I, and others, are trying to understand his reasons for doing what he does. I'm actually not trying to justify his actions since I already believe he is just and loving, but I think it helps to illustrate it to others who don't believe he same way. It's also good to get feedback from other believers and all those familiar with the bible; all which leads to a better understanding of God. I respect your opinion, but at this point it would take much more than that to convince me that my experience with God isn't real, plus it adds nothing to my thoughts concerning heaven and hell and God's love, despite his seemingly wrathful actions in the old testament.
