The nature of the Universal Mind is Omniscience (all knowing), Omnipotence (all powerful), Omnificence (all creative) and Omnipresence (always present). Know that this too is your nature. You have access to all knowledge, known and unknown; you have access to an infinite power for which nothing is impossible; you have access to the limitless creativity of the One Creator. All these attributes are present within you at all times in their potential form.

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

ReplyDeleteLiked the above post - however Religion, in its most commonly practiced version does a disservice to appreciate nature and divine -as the primary assumption is all that we need to know about the big questions like where we come from, how did the universe began etc is already in the big book. Certainly there are sects within religion itself where seeking truth is the biggest form of worship - like the Hindu Yogis, the Muslim Sufis and Christian Jesuits – like our current wonderful Pope- for example. I have no issue with God as nature itself that has fine tuned this universe, in some cases to the 120th decimal point so we could be here in the first place. True worship is seeking that truth - and when one assume the truth is already fully revealed and anything new or contrary to the written text is heretical it actually goes against the spirit of original religions all of which were concerned with the big questions.
There is no controversy that prayer and meditation is a well known and accepted way to the divine - what is less well known is that there are many paths to the divine and current day science is another way to the divine; science does not hinder the truth seeker but really is one of the most profound ways to the divine - if by divine one means truth and reality - ever conceived by humans.
While hard core atheism is kind of depressing as it removes any design or purpose altogether; there is a third way to look at all this, and that is looking at nature itself as truly divine and purposeful, though that purpose may be beyond our understanding. While Religion takes the divine out of nature and make it “super natural” hard atheism takes divine altogether. A third way is to treat nature itself as truly divine, as suggested by Spinoza. David Chalmers, one of the foremost authority on consciousness actually proposes (in a TED talk - http://www.ted.com/talks/david_chalmers_how_do_you_explain_consciousness) that to explain consciousness, one needs to assume consciousness, like spin, charge, mass etc is a fundamental quality of nature itself.
