Grand Rising all seekers of Truth and Arcane knowledge,
I was drawn today to share my views on the almighty presence of God. Growing up much like everyone I pictured the gray bearded man in the sky. Today I almost laugh at my preschool level of understanding at that point in my life. I am a huge believer of having faith and that Faith and Hope can not only guide one in their life but be a bright light to inspire others. I'm going to outline briefly how it is I got to the point of my current system of beliefs.
Growing up I was raised Catholic. Never truly understanding the difference between Christianity and Catholicism and just in general the different branches of abrahamic religions. I just always thought there was God and everyone was familiar with the concept of God, but always felt a bit out of place at the same time. While always having an undying and unwavering faith, I questioned a lot of things just naturally as people do when they evolve. I based my beliefs on my surroundings and what I could see feel and touch. Slowly the spirituality surrounding my religion diminished as I saw very little proof of a presence of an omnipotent being. I began to view my religion as another set of rules and guidelines to stand by but never fully adopted it as Doctrine for myself because even an adolescent age I understood that rules can be subjective.
Around Middle School or high school for me I began reading philosophy. I read Niche at an early age and a lot of my friends had been reading the works of Anton LaVey. While it's served as a counterculture staple to How I wanted to live my life in rebellious fashion it didn't truly ever speak to me in a sense of fulfillment and spiritual aspects. The concepts were very simple they were very corporeal and 3D but very much fulfilled a yearning that I had to break the rules. For a long time after this I adopted the Necronomicon as my book of spirituality, again never fully understanding the depth of the concepts in these writings. I was kind of using it like having a favorite band, but never knowing anything beyond the radio hits, just having to have an answer for the question when somebody eventually would ask.
Right after high school a friend of mine started introducing me to the physical workings of Prana and energy. I didn't fully comprehend but I had an active imagination and might active imagination seem to be a helpful leverage point into showing off the shear strength of will to push and manipulate energy. Shortly following I was introduced to the concept of divination and tarot cards. It was something I seemed to have a talent for so of course I adopted and began to search into the different types of cultures and beliefs that used these principles. Again mostly to Simply have an identifying group to associate with.
When finally adopting a faith that I had studied and felt I understood I settled with wicca or witchcraft. My recognition of how ceremony worked and the celebration of solstices and how everything was intricately tied together with the cycles of the earth made me very much learn to respect that branch of faith. It was something that was understood by me because the cycles of the Earth for something that I could see and touch and feel. I spent years under this umbrella. Eventually this became a divide in my house between my ex-wife and myself. She herself wanting to go back to a traditional or I would say abrahamic religion and making me feel somewhat ashamed or embarrassed to celebrate in the ways that I wanted to celebrate. This came to a point of me practicing while she was not around or just not present at. I never hid this fully from her she was very aware of my practices and my faith although she would point to fringes of society and tell me how it embodied what I did. Like the kid being weird for the sake of being weird I felt ostracized.
When her and I finally split the surge of gnosis and all of the spiritual gifts that precede a devoted life began to manifest. It was as if her and I splitting was in an awakening to my real self. I grew by Leaps and Bounds simply because as I could see, hear, and feel the direct repercussions of the things that I practiced and the energies that I applied. The cause and effect relationship that was present in my use of energy work, and my use of spell work, and my use of hymns and chants, in my use of alchemy, it was all that I needed to put full on belief in the things I did which of course made it all that much more powerful.
From here I plateaued for a very long time. Many years in fact. My next cycle of rapid growth happened rather unintentionally through the use of memory regression therapy and Shadow work. Early on in my childhood pre-adolescence I experienced great trama and believed I was too young to ever recall and would never ever actually recall. I had accepted a misery, a dark spot in my being, in my psyche, as just something that I would always have. Keeping on topic my understanding of the nature of God at this point was just that, nature. A force of nature, a cycle of Nature, and energy of life in all its existence. However once I had done the memory regression therapy and relived my traumas and attended to my healing a wonderful thing happened, a divine presence and intelligent design gave me a gift. It was a beautiful gift of a memory that I never thought I would recall ever to the end of my life. It was a moment of me and my mother, my mother had passed when I was two, so I had no living recollection of her only photographs. This began to fundamentally change how I viewed what I now see the presence of God.
Before we move in to the next part of this article I want to point out some constants. These are scientific principles that have been proven and agreed upon by practically the entire world some of this is grade school science, some of this a little more complex, but the idea is still the same this is a understanding of principles that is known to the General Public.
Number one, energy cannot be created or destroyed simply changed in form.
Number two, everything is in constant flux or vibration.
Number three, the idea of DNA and genomes shows us how we are all intricately connected regardless of religion race or even species.
And number four, all matter is energy, depending on the state of vibration and the state of excitement within the atomic cells and the zonapalucida of said organism, the state of matter can appear to us as different things, I.E liquidsn solid, gases, plasmas, Etc
A few things that are on the Fringe however very plausible if not fully explained already are:
Number one, the idea of a universal conscious or mass conscience.
Two, the idea that thought form is also energy and can affect your outer world.
Number three, the idea that having a grateful Outlook brings in more things to be grateful for or in short the law of attraction.
With these things in mind I have formed a complex understanding of what I believe the presence of God to be.
It is said in the Bible that we are created in His image, it is also stated that God spoke, 'what you do unto your brother you do unto me.'
While most people consider this a philosophical way of being I believe it is a literal interpretation of the microcasm that lives within all of us pointing again towards the genomes and DNA. All matter that has existed in the universe does exist in the universe and will always exist in the universe that being said anything that has ever existed or will ever exist in its smallest building blocks is already here so if we are all born from star dust then we are literally conceived in light. Born from light and created in His image to me speak of the same kind of happening.
The fact that all life can be viewed in its sacred symmetry and sacred geometry should be a testament that we are all from a single source.
If there was a scientific resemblance to omnipresence my opinion would have to be Universal consciousness. This again points to the presence of God being within us in the form of consciousness and the natural shape of our being.
Bringing a little science to the concept of our spirit, I'd invite you to picture this, observing something in vibration leaves a blur on the outer edge of the item in flux. This can be described as a state of in and out where matter is occupying a space in one moment and not occupying it in the next however still occupying a general sense of space. Sounds like an aura or an outward projection of energy from an inner being doesn't it? Different waves serve different properties, for example we can see light waves and the effects that it has on physical matter around us. However we cannot see radio waves although we know that broadcast signals surround us on a constant. This concept shows how different waves of energy in different combinations can still carry information or affect This Plane of reality. Just how your radio works, the antenna and radio are catching all signals of broadband at all times, the difference frequency modulation within the bandwidth gives us our different stations. So your radio is always catching all stations at all time you're just tuning in with a device within the radio that lets you fine-tune to specific information. This is how your brain works with all energies in all existence at all times like an antenna. Antennas can operate in both ways in a sense that you can broadcast or receive signals.
Now let's give this a nice tie-in shall we, if our body is matter in flux surrounding an antenna that would mean that anything in proximity to our flux or our vibes would be directly affected whether noticeable on certain planes of existence or not. This is similar to the idea of thought forms affecting our 3D reality. If thoughts are sine waves and measurable in hertz then that means thoughts are present as a energy wave and affect your immediate reality.
Although we don't fully understand how gravity works we do understand how the math that explains it functions. Imagine a spherical ball placed out on a bed sheet. The more dense the ball the heavier indention it creates on the bed sheet drawing smaller nearby objects to it. This is how emotional densities can manifest in your life. Having a blockage of energy in your chakra system can create negative effects thereby attracting more type of similar negativity.
And the big reveal, so if we all learn to think positively and live our lives by accordance of love in our hearts. The effect that it would have would be similar to a hive mind scenario. In that you would attract people into your life with similar goals, similar morals, similar outlooks, that would eventually create a big enough Network to be considered a community.
This is why I believe, God is in everything. If love be the weapon of the future then we should learn to wield it.
