What the hell am I? (Gnostic Atheist or Agnostic)
April 27, 2010 at 12:01 am
Look,

I don't believe in God, the being. I KNOW that there is NO god of any sort. However, I do believe in some sort of ultimate reality or (perhaps) a great "consciousness" beyond everything. That is not to say that this is "God". It is NOT a being. Not necessarily self-aware-- it is more like a "force" or "ultimate reality". The closest thing, as far as I've read, that even in some way resembles what I'm talking about is "The Tao" (read the Tao te Ching for more info). I have experienced union (or felt like I experienced union) with this "ultimate reality" through deep meditation. I am very spiritual, but do NOT believe in any god. I KNOW that there is no god like is espoused by any major religion or mythology. (Don't ask me how I know, that is a subject for a different thread.)

SO....

What the hell am I? Gnostic Atheist or Agnostic?

I am ready to figure this out folks. If you want to put questions to me, I'll try my best.

Peace
