User blog:Auraestus/My view on 'God'

As you all know, I am a proud Agnostic. I am neither a Theist or an Atheist, and i am open minded to both sides being real. Lately i have been delving into religious texts and documents. One i found interesting is this thing that states that 'God' is not at all what we think. He is loving and caring and doesnt judge on what you do in life. There is no 'Satan' or 'Devil', in fact no creation of god can stand to test their creator. This i agree with, after all, if god dislikes or hates this 'Satan' why would he sentance his very creations to live in eternal torment with him? I put here an excerpt from a man who claims to have spoken to god himself, and god told him this: 

'''If you doubt God’s intentions—and God’s ability to produce this ultimate result—then how can you ever relax? How can you ever truly find peace? Yet God has full power to match intentions with results. You cannot and will not believe in this (even though you claim that God is all-powerful), and so you have to create in your imagination a power equal to God, in order that you may find a way for God’s will to be thwarted. And so you have created in your mythology the being you call “devil.” You have even imagined a God at war with this being (thinking that God solves problems the way you do). Finally, you have actually imagined that God could lose this war. All of this violates everything you say you know about God, but this doesn’t matter. You live your illusion, and thus feel your fear, all out of your decision to doubt God. '''

But what if you made a new decision? What then would be the result? I tell you this: you would live as the Buddha did. As Jesus did. As did every saint you have ever idolized.



Yet, as with most of those saints, people would not understand you. And when you tried to explain your sense of peace, your joy in life, your inner ecstasy, they would listen to your words, but not hear them. They would try to repeat your words, but would add to them.



They would wonder how you could have what they cannot find. And then they would grow jealous. Soon jealousy would turn to rage, and in their anger they would try to convince you that it is you who do not understand God.



And if they were unsuccessful at tearing you from your joy, they would seek to harm you, so enormous would be their rage. And when you told them it does not matter, that even death cannot interrupt your joy, nor change your truth, they would surely kill you. Then, when they saw the peace with which you accepted death, they would call you saint, and love you again.



For it is the nature of people to love, then destroy, then love again that which they value most.



But why? Why do we do that?



All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of two emotions—fear or love. In truth there are only two emotions—only two words in the language of the soul. These are the opposite ends of the great polarity which I created when I produced the universe, and your world, as you know it today.



These are the two points—the Alpha and the Omega—which allow the system you call “relativity” to be. Without these two points, without these two ideas about things, no other idea could exist.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;text-align:justify;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;">Every human thought, and every human action, is based in either love or fear. There is no other human motivation, and all other ideas are but derivatives of these two. They are simply different versions—different twists on the same theme.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;text-align:justify;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;text-align:justify;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;">Think on this deeply and you will see that it is true. This is what I have called the Sponsoring Thought. It is either a thought of love or fear. This is the thought behind the thought behind the thought. It is the first thought. It is prime force. It is the raw energy that drives the engine of human experience.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;text-align:justify;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;text-align:justify;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;">And here is how human behavior produces repeat experience after repeat experience; it is why humans love, then destroy, then love again: always there is the swing from one emotion to the other. Love sponsors fear sponsors love sponsors fear…

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;text-align:justify;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;text-align:justify;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;">… And the reason is found in the first lie—the lie which you hold as the truth about God—that God cannot be trusted; that God’s love cannot be depended upon; that God’s acceptance of you is conditional; that the ultimate outcome is thus in doubt. For if you cannot depend on God’s love to always be there, on whose love can you depend? If God retreats and withdraws when you do not perform properly, will not mere mortals also?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;text-align:justify;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;text-align:justify;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;">… And so it is that in the moment you pledge your highest love, you greet your greatest fear.
