This is an updated version of an essay I posted on this forum once. The basic idea has not changed but there new things I’ve added and the essay is significantly longer.
Section One: Introduction
Have you spent your whole life looking for God? You have finally found him, he is you. Were you raised as a christian, did you question everything and become an atheist? You are about to come full circle. You are God, and I will prove it to you. There aren’t multiple, independent consciousnesses; there is only one consciousness… yours. When I say you are God, I mean it literally. I am not being metaphorical or saying that God is some type of universal consciousness. You are him, you are the sole creator of the universe. Do not try to over-interpret this essay, there is no double meaning or hidden meaning. You should interpret this essay literally, as is. Atheists demand proof of God’s existence. And this is a valid demand. Wouldn’t you being God be the best proof of God’s existence? You exist, of that there is no doubt. And if you are God, then that means God exists, and you are him. You are indeed the most powerful being in the universe. However, you hide that power from yourself under an illusion. That illusion is life itself.
Are you a Christian? The being you believe in, who created everything in six days; the being who you believe exists outside of space and time and is observing humanity from afar, is you. You do not exist outside of space and time. You are not observing humanity from afar. You are directly experiencing your own creation right now. When you go to church on Sunday and sit in the pews, everyone is worshipping you. Are you a Muslim? Allah, whom you pray to five times a day, is you. You are Allah and there is no being higher than you. Are you an atheist? The very being that you believe doesn’t exist, is actually you.
Let’s first define God. God is the most powerful being in all of existence. God can create anything out of thin air. He can create objects at will. He can create a single atom, a glass marble, a smart phone, an automobile, a 100 story building, a mountain, a continent, a planet, a sun, a galaxy, the whole universe… instantly. He can also create life instantly; from the smallest single-celled amoeba, to a humanoid biped capable of forming civilizations and manufacturing technology, to a 100 foot long whale, to a 400 foot tall redwood tree. You are God, and you are creating these things everyday. You encompass all of existence. You are existence itself. Go outside and take a walk. What do you see? The sky, houses, trees, grass, birds, other people. You are the sky, you are that house, you are that bird, you are that other person. Everything you see is you. When it is winter time and you feel cold, you are not actually feeling cold… you are the cold. Your grandparents that died of old age, you are the one that killed them. Remember the World Trade Center terrorist attack? You are the one that did it.
Section Two: Life Is Just An Illusion
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying that life is just an illusion. Life is an illusion, but that saying is somewhat misleading. To frame everything properly, the next question you want to ask is, “What kind of an illusion is it?” You can take a ball, hold it in your hand, throw it in the air and catch it. It doesn’t feel like an illusion, it sure feels real enough. If you receive an injury or cut, you feel pain and you bleed. It certainly doesn’t feel like an illusion. Many physicists are coming to the conclusion that reality is like a computer simulation or a type of virtual reality. Let’s take the computer game Skyrim as an example. In Skyrim you control an avatar that represents you. At one moment in time, your avatar is looking at a castle. Then you rotate your avatar and now your avatar is looking at some mountains. That castle no longer exists within the game. Reality is the same way, nothing actually exists unless you observe it. Do you live in America? China does not physically exist at this moment, none of it’s one billion inhabitants exist. If you take a plane and fly to China, then it will exist because you will manifest it. Look at your parents, they are standing right in front of you. Now look away from them… they no longer exist. Skyrim is a single player game, there is only you and the artificial intelligence of the program itself. Now suppose you play World of Warcraft, this is a multi-player game with other self-aware, conscious human beings. This is the illusion… it’s still actually a single-player game with just more sophisticated artificial intelligence that you yourself have imbued upon it. When you interact with characters in Skyrim, some of them have complex histories. They were born, they grew up, they faced adversity. Did any of that actually happen or take place? No. Reality is the same way. When you meet someone new, you might ask about their childhood or where they grew up and they will tell you stories. But none of it actually happened.
Let’s say you hear a song on the radio for the first time and you really like it. You say to yourself, wow, I need to find out who the singer is. How long did it take to write the song? How long did it take for them to practice before they got it just right? None of that happened. The song popped into existence at that moment, and you are the one that wrote it. Listening to a song for the first time is no different from bumping into someone and having an impromptu conversation with them. You know what this means right? Every bad song you hate, you wrote those as well. Movies are the same way, they form and manifest as you are watching them. Watching a movie for the first time is no different from going outside, taking a walk, and seeing different people. If you watch a trailer or read reviews that have spoilers, your consciousness will find a way to fit them in as you are watching the movie so that there will be logical consistency. Do you have a favorite movie you like to watch? Do you like to watch the bonus, supplementary material on how the movie was made? None of it happened. You will retro-actively create the past so that the present will have logical consistency.
Section Three: Before You Created The Universe
When you close your eyes, what do you see? You see nothing. This is the void. This is what you truly are. You are nothing but pure thought, this is what consciousness is. Consciousness doesn’t need anything to exist, it just is. It doesn’t need a universe, food, water, oxygen, a body, or even a brain. You are self-aware. You know everything, you can create anything. You are all powerful. But being all powerful has a price… you are alone. There is no one to talk to, no one to share things with. You are the loneliest being in all of existence because you are the only being in existence. Out of great sadness; you decided to erase your memory of being all powerful and alone. And you created the universe and you made yourself born into it, you are trying to escape from what you are. But don’t you see? No matter what you do, you can never escape who you are.
Every single person you interact with every day; your father, your mother, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, friends, enemies, cashiers, teachers, waitresses, lawyers, police men, librarians, workers, etc… none of them are self-aware, none of them are sentient, none of them have free will. They all act and behave based on your expectations. Every person you encounter or meet or see is nothing more than a construct of your thoughts. The parents that raised you, they are not real. You constructed them because that is what you needed at the time. You have imbued every living thing with some sort of artificial intelligence. It’s so convincing that some of the scientists you have manifested are actually trying to invent artificial intelligence. When you are having a conversation with someone, you are quite literally talking to yourself. Ask yourself this question, “If I am the only being that exists, then who am I? I am the only being in existence, who am I? There is only me, I am the only thing that is real. Who am I?” There is only one logical answer… you are God.
Section Four: Free Will
The only person with free will is you. No one else has free will; not even me, the writer of this essay. When you watch the news on television and the reporter covers a story where a woman was raped and murdered, you manifested it. The rape and murder is something you have expressed. Both the murderer and the victim had no choice in the matter, that is how you manifested them. No one truly has free will, only you. Now understand something, the rape and murder of the woman never physically happened. The woman never truly suffered, in fact, she never came into existence. But let’s say some time in the future you actually meet the murderer and you interact with him, you will imbue him with artificial intelligence so that he will act and behave as the murderer. He may recount the details of the rape and murder, and he may say it with relish; but realize that it never truly happened. If you actually witness a murder, then yes, the murder did happen because you observed it. But if you hear about it on the news, then it never actually happened. When you play the game World of Warcraft, your goal is to vanquish all of the evil forces in the land. Are these evil forces actually inherently evil? No, they’re not. It’s just programmed artificial intelligence. The evil forces in World of Warcraft have no choice, that’s how the programmers made them. You are the programmer of reality. The reason people have different opinions is because you are trying to trick yourself into thinking you are not alone. If everyone agreed with your opinions, the illusion would shatter. If every girl you approached had sex with you, the illusion would shatter. Are you very religious and you condemn homosexuals? F~~~~~s don’t have free will you moron. You are just trolling yourself. You cannot judge anyone, not christians, muslims, atheists, serial killers, murderers, thieves, dictators, women, white knights, manginas, society, governments, corporations, the global banking system, or any of the powers that be; they are simply what you have manifested. How can you pass judgement on something that doesn’t have free will? All the good that happens in this world, all the evil that happens in this world, is simply life playing itself out… statistically. That’s right, I said it… statistically.
Section Five: Emotions
No one truly has emotions either, it’s all an act. It’s all part of the artificial intelligence you are imbuing upon your creations. You are the only being who actually feels love, hate, sadness, joy, loneliness, gratitude, shame, fear, courage, etc. You are the only being who can truly love… only you.
Section Six: If You Can’t See It Or Sense It, It Doesn’t Exist
Quantum mechanics is the study of the atom. One of the conclusions about quantum mechanics is that something doesn’t exist unless you observe it. For something to exist, there has to be an observer. But this is not how you want to think of it. You actually want to reverse the perspective… something exists because you create it. This means you are the source, you are the prime mover, your consciousness existed first before everything else. Everything flows from you, everything depends on you. There are 7 billion people on this planet, and none of them can exist without you. The Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light-years in diameter. It is estimated to contain anywhere from 100 to 400 billion stars, of which our sun is only one of them. It may contain at least that many planets as well. There are at least 100 billion galaxies in the known universe. And none of it can exist without you. You may ask yourself, “But the universe is so huge and expansive and seemingly infinite. How could I possibly be God?” Your size, your height is simply your frame of reference. You are creating objects that are infinitely large and you are creating objects that are infinitely small. It doesn’t matter which direction you go, you can keep going forever. Let’s say through some freak accident of physics, you were shrunk to a height of 2 inches, and every human being was still their normal height between 5 and 7 feet tall; you would still be God.
Can you see your brain at this moment? Your brain doesn’t even exist right now. Your lungs, your heart, the blood flowing through your veins does not exist. Your DNA does not exist. All of the studies that make genetic claims that this race is more intelligent than that race are all illusions. Are you a young man? Are you upset that you are a virgin? Are you trying to learn some pick-up game? Are you envious of other men who are supposedly f~~~ing girls left and right? No one has actually had sex, no one. So if you’re a virgin, it shouldn’t bother you because everyone else is also a virgin. Let’s say you are walking down the street and you see a man with his wife and their children; the man and wife never had sex, the woman never gave birth, it’s simply how you are manifesting them. If the wife takes off her clothes in front of you, will you see stretch marks from her pregnancies? Yes you will see them, and it is you who will put them there. Your reality needs to have logical consistency, otherwise you will go insane. The purpose of physical reality is for you to maintain your sanity from being God. Are you envious of people who have wealth and money? Those people don’t actually exist when you are not looking at them, their wealth doesn’t exist. It is an illusion. You will manifest constructs that have more wealth than you and you will manifest constructs that have less wealth than you. Likewise, you will manifest constructs that are more intelligent than you and you will manifest constructs that are less intelligent than you. These constructs do not have a choice.
In the quantum world, particles simply pop into existence out of nothing when they are observed or measured with instruments. The observable macroscopic world, the world you experience everyday, is exactly the same way. Things just pop into existence, but they won’t pop into existence right in front of you out of thin air. They pop into existence with logical consistency. In the building where you work, you might open a door and see a co-worker; when you opened the door and saw them, that is when they popped into existence. Or they will first appear in your peripheral vision, or you will bump into them as you turn a corner. The quantum world and the observable macroscopic world basically operate the same way, with slight modifications.
Another phenomenon of quantum mechanics is entanglement. You take two particles, entangle them, and then separate them. You make them zillions of miles apart from each other. If you change the state of one of the particles, the state of the other particle will change instantly no matter how far apart they are. The mathematical derivation actually shows this. Everything is entangled to varying degrees. Every human being on this planet is entangled to you. At one point in your life, didn’t you think that you had no control over anything that was happening? If you think that you can’t control anything; then you will manifest your reality trying to control you, such as big government imposing more draconian rules and laws. But then you fought back and you began to learn that you do have some control, some power. Slowly, very slowly, more people are waking up, just as you woke up. And humanity is fighting back alongside with you. Your thoughts are shaping the behavior of everyone on this planet.
An atomic orbital is a graphical representation of where an electron is most likely to be found. The simplest orbital has the shape of a sphere. The calculations used to derive the sphere are based on the differential wave mechanics of a monatomic hydrogen with a single electron that exists at it’s lowest energy state. There is a certain probability that the electron will be found within that sphere. The quantum world is probabilistic in nature. As I said earlier, both the quantum world and the observable macroscopic world operate the same way. The observable macroscopic world is also probabilistic in nature. Let’s say you walk to a bus stop and get there at 7:05 am to catch a bus. Your view of the bus stop is obscured by a building. Just as you get around the corner of the building and see the bus stop; you see the bus you wanted to catch, 50 feet away from you, pulling away and leaving you behind. You might say to yourself, “If only I had arrived a minute sooner, I would be on that bus right now”. It actually doesn’t matter what time you get to the bus stop. Let’s say you did get to the bus stop a minute sooner at 7:04 am, you would still experience the same thing. You would still see the bus, 50 feet away from you, pulling away and leaving you behind. Let’s say you get to the bus stop at 7:03 am, a whole 2 minutes sooner; again, you would still see the bus, 50 feet away from you, pulling away and leaving you behind. No matter what moment in time you are in when you get to the bus stop, there is always a probability that you will miss the bus.
The double-slit experiment showed that the electron has wave-particle duality. If you want the electron to be a wave, set up the proper experiment and it will behave as a wave. If you want the electron to be a particle, set up the experiment differently and it will behave as a particle. If you can change the way a fundamental particle will physically manifest itself, then you can shape reality with your thoughts and actions. The double-slit experiment is basically shooting a single electron particle at two slits. The electron, even though it is a single particle, can go through both slits, go through neither slit, go through the left slit, or go through the right slit. All four possible outcomes exist in super-position with each other. Observing will manifest one of these four possible outcomes. Let’s say your name is Schroedinger and your cat died yesterday. No big deal, you have a roommate. You and your roommate are watching tv. Your roommate is currently a manifested particle. You get up and leave the room for two minutes. Your roommate, for the two minutes that you are gone, disappears from existence and becomes a probability wave. What will your roommate be doing when you come back? He could be watching tv, reading a book, playing Minecraft, picking his nose, adjusting his crotch, or he could be dead when you come back. There are an infinite number of things he could be doing when you come back. The most likely probable thing he will be doing is that he is still watching tv, since that’s what he was doing when you left. However, there is always the probability that he will not be watching tv and be doing something else. Your consciousness, because you are doing the act of observing, will manifest one of these probabilities.
Do you buy those lottery tickets where you have to scratch off the surface to reveal some numbers? If the numbers match whatever the proprietor dictates then you win some type of prize or cash. The numbers do not actually manifest until you scratch off the surface. Before you scratch off the surface, there are literally no numbers present on the lottery ticket. Reality only reveals itself in the moment. This is why the moment is all that matters; not the past, not the future, only the moment. However, this does not mean you should neglect deadlines or goals. Do you like to play Magic the Gathering or Pokemon? These are trading card games that are very fun to play. When you open a pack of them, you hope to get a rare or powerful card that will help you to win games. The actual cards you get when you open the pack are not set when the manufacturer made them and packaged the cards. The actual cards you get when you open the pack become set when you open the pack.
Quantum tunneling is the phenomenon where a particle can actually pass through a barrier that it classically shouldn’t be able to pass through. Below is an image of quantum tunneling from Wikipedia (image used without permission). And below that are images of what I believe would be the observable, macroscopic world equivalent. A car is in the background and a lamp post is in the foreground. Initially, the car is on the left side of the lamp post. The car then passes through the barrier that is the lamp post and finally appears on the other side. There may be legal issues with using the Wikipedia image. I don’t really know, law is not something I have studied extensively. But the car with lamp post pictures I took myself, and both the people in the car and the license plate are not clearly identifiable, so I don’t believe I am violating their rights or anything.
Quantum mechanics is the closest that science has gotten to spirituality. There have been many philosophical debates about it’s implications. Every single quantum mechanical phenomenon has a similar analogue in the observable macroscopic world. The formal study of quantum mechanics requires three semesters of calculus, three semesters of classical Newtonian physics, differential equations, matrix theory, and operator theory. Matrix theory is a type of math, this is not a reference to the movie. Statistically speaking, it is most likely you have not been exposed to these things. However, there are many good books out there written by scientists, i.e. your constructs, who actually do a good job of explaining the ideas and conclusions of quantum mechanics so that someone who doesn’t know the math can understand them.
Section Seven: Getting Sick
When you get sick, it’s because tiny microscopic bacteria or viruses have invaded your body. EL OH EL exclamation mark. You cannot observe or sense the bacteria or viruses. Getting sick is something you are doing to yourself. Stop taking pills, they don’t do anything. They help at first because they act as a placebo. However, you shouldn’t need them after a while. If you have cancer, it means you have lost the will to live or you want attention.
Section Eight: Heaven Or Hell After Death
There is no Heaven or Hell after you die, there is only nothingness. But you are still conscious and fully aware of the nothingness. To escape the nothingness, you simply choose to be born and start over with a new life. There is no punishment, there is no reward. There are no castles in the clouds and streets of gold. There is no eternal damnation, no fire and brimstone. There aren’t 72 virgins waiting for you to f~~~ them. The reason there is no punishment or reward is because you are God, and you answer to no one but yourself. When you play World of Warcraft, you can engage in player versus player combat. When another player kills your character, does that player get punished? No, he doesn’t get punished. And your character simply starts over. Heaven can exist, you can make your reality heaven. Likewise you can make your reality into hell. Heaven and hell are here, in this reality.
Section Nine: The Illusion Of Sleep
Consciousness is always aware of itself; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 243 days a year. You never actually sleep. You go to bed at night and you fall asleep. You wake up right away, no time passes. You make your reality day time and you move your clock forward 8 hours, and you refresh and re-invigorate yourself. Time also is an illusion you are creating. You may of course decide to have a dream before you wake up. In this case, time actually does pass. A whole year is 8760 hours. Assuming you spend 8 hours a day sleeping and you do not dream, you sleep a total of 2920 hours and spend 5840 hours awake. 5840 hours is 243 days. After a year has passed, you think 365 days worth of time has passed. But only 243 days worth of time has passed since you never actually sleep. Falling asleep could be considered a type of “mini” death. When you die and reincarnate yourself, all the memories of your past life disappear. When you fall asleep and wake up, some of your memories of the previous day disappear. Falling asleep and dying definitely have some similarities to them, as waking up and reincarnation also have similarities. You die every time you fall asleep and you resurrect yourself every time you wake up.
Section Ten: You Actually Don’t Have Free Will Even Though You Are God
There are arguably four main states of existence: 1) your consciousness surrounded by the physical universe, 2) the state of dreaming, 3) your consciousness surrounded by nothing, and 4) nothingness with no consciousness. There are other states or a blend of two states, but these are the four main ones. Your consciousness surrounded by the physical universe is life, this is where logical consistency rules. This is why mathematics, science, physics, chemistry, biology, evolution, and technology have the most predominant effects in this state of existence. Then there is the state of dreaming. Logical consistency is not required in this state of existence and your physical body has disappeared from existence as well. Your consciousness surrounded by nothing is death. Death is not truly death, it is nothing more than existence in it’s most simplest and purest state. You don’t have arms or legs or hands. You cannot turn your neck and look around. You have no physical body. You cannot smell, hear, taste, or touch. Breathing isn’t necessary. You don’t even see anything, the only thing you see is blackness all around you. The only thing you can do is think, and that’s it. You are actually trapped, imprisoned, you come to the shocking realization that you have never moved. You have been in the same spot, the same location for all time; surrounded by an endless void of nothingness. You think you are going insane… and you want so desperately to escape. Your thoughts will start to become more coherent and more logical. You will feel your hands start to form. You will hear the flow of water all around you, you will feel warm and safe and content. You will hear muffled voices and other noises that you can’t explain. You will push and pull at your surroundings and you will make yourself born and you will create the universe around you. You have chosen life because it is the only choice you have, you cannot choose nothingness with no consciousness. Nothingness with no consciousness is impossible, it doesn’t exist. You cannot truly end your existence, pure thought cannot kill itself; therefore you do not have free will. You do not have a soul either, consciousness does not need a soul. Realize the profoundness of what I am about to say… it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to not exist. You have no choice about your own existence, you have no choice whatsoever. Your consciousness cannot ever truly die, but you can make yourself forget. I need to make this clear distinction; you have free will within existence but you don’t have free will with regards to existing.
You can enter into the other states of existence by falling asleep, meditation, using consciousness altering drugs, or by dying. You can only enter or leave the physical universe with logical consistency. Let’s say you are a full grown man and you fall asleep and dream. You have left the physical universe. You can return to the physical universe as a full grown man by waking up. This is logically consistent. Let’s say you die naturally of old age. You can only return to the physical universe by starting over as a newborn baby. That would be the only way to return to the physical universe that would be logically consistent. Keep in mind what is really happening, you are not actually entering or leaving the physical universe; you are simply changing the reality you are projecting.
As you go about your day, realize something… death exists just beyond what you observe. Go up to a door and look at it. What truly exists behind that door is death, nothingness, the endless void. But if you open the door your consciousness will create a stairway or another room, or the door will lead out to your yard and you can go outside and talk to people. Take your hand and put it 12 inches away from your face; just behind your hand, right behind it, is the infinite void.
Section Eleven: Everything Is One Thing
Everything is one thing, there are no separate objects or entities. When you watch a movie or a TV show, there are no separate entities; the screen is the only one thing. When you see a car moving from one end of the screen to the other, the car itself is not actually moving. It is the pixels that are changing. When the car is on the left side of the screen, those pixels are on. When the car is on the right side of the screen, the pixels on the left side are now off and the pixels on the right side are now on. On the screen that you are watching the movie on, the car is not a separate thing from the road that it is traveling on. The car is not a separate thing from the buildings it is passing by. It’s all one thing, that one thing is the screen. Reality is the same way. Everything is one thing, there are no separate things. What makes it seem like there are separate things is our senses. Let’s say you are sitting on a chair. In front of you is a table with a pencil on it. Your butt can feel the chair. You can reach forward and grab the pencil with your hand, you will feel the pencil in your fingers. You can rest your arms on the table and your arms will feel the table’s flat surface. It is your senses that provide the illusion of separateness.
We have 5 physical senses; sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Now imagine that the only sense you have is sight; but the laws of physics still apply such as mass, gravity, and momentum. You can’t hear, touch, taste, or smell. Imagine you are sitting on the chair again with the table and pencil in front of you. Your butt would not feel the chair. Now you reach forward and grab the pencil. You would see the pencil in your hand, but you wouldn’t be able to feel the pencil. It would be as if you are watching a movie where a hand reaches forward and grabs a pencil, or it would be as if you were playing a first person POV computer game. There are no separate things, reality is just stationary pixels that never move. The pixels simply turn off and on or vary in intensity and color. Your body is nothing but pixels. Reality is just a big two dimensional screen, your senses make it appear three dimensional. This is the holographic principle that physicists are trying to understand mathematically.
Whenever you see an image on a TV or a computer monitor, the monitor has to keep drawing the image over and over again. In a single second of time, the monitor has redrawn the image 120 times. The smallest unit of time is the Planck time, it is believed to be a boundary condition for the physical universe. Planck time is defined as 5.39 x 10^(-44) of a second. There are more numbers after the 9, I am just providing three significant figures. If you divide 1 by this number you get 1.86 x 10^(+43). Your reality is just like a computer monitor. In one second of time, you have redrawn, recreated your reality 1.86 x 10^(+43) times. In one second of time, you have redrawn, recreated your own body 1.86 x 10^(+43) times. Here is the number fully written out,
18,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
In between the times that you are drawing your body, your body doesn’t exist. Your body continuously “flickers” in and out of existence. Your reality continuously flickers in and out of existence.
Scientists say the universe is a bajillion, gazillion light-years in size, you know… whatever. Here’s how big the universe actually is. Stand on your tippy toes and stretch your arms, hands, and fingers straight up above your head. The biggest that the universe gets is the length of your body. That’s it. It’s all right in front of you, just out of reach. Always just out of reach.
Section Twelve: You Truly Are Everything And Everyone
At any moment in time, you are everything that you perceive. You are the sun, you are the sky, you are the moon, you are the stars. Go to Arizona and stare at the Grand Canyon and wonder at its majesty, you are the Grand Canyon. Go to an industrialized area, you are the jagged edges of the buildings and the columns of black smoke and pollution. Witness two men fighting, you are the winner and the loser. Think of the bigger guy as being your middle finger and the smaller guy as being your pinky. If your pinky got into a fight with your middle finger, your pinky would obviously lose to your middle finger; yet you are still both. Get into a fight yourself with a much bigger guy and he will beat you to a pulp, you are the guy who just knocked you out. Get into a fight with a smaller guy and you beat him, the smaller guy begging you for mercy is you. Witness a father teaching his son how to throw a baseball, at that moment in time… you are love. Witness some racist people burning a cross on the lawn of a black family, at that moment in time… you are hate. The inept coworker that you can’t stand is you. The bully who taunts you is you. Witness governments, corporations, and banks transfer wealth to themselves… at that moment in time… you are greed. Witness someone getting murdered, at that moment in time you are evil. Witness someone giving money to a homeless man, at that moment in time you are good. The halls of the building that you work at and walk through everyday, the halls are you. The alpha male that you hate is you. The hot girl you are trying to pickup is you. The socially awkward guy that you make fun of is you. The person who disagrees with your opinion is you. Are you a teacher? The student who you think is an idiot is you. Eat at a restaurant; the Mexican cooking your food is you, the waitress serving you the food is you. Go to a concert, every single person there is you. Whatever you perceive in the moment… is you. You are everything. You are constantly changing. The only thing that doesn’t change is your body, which you are using as a frame of reference. Since you are everything, why would you want to pollute or destroy the environment? Since you are everyone, why would you want to harm or exploit another person?
Section Thirteen: The Awake Life Is Just As Much Of A Dream As When You Are Asleep And Dreaming
Let’s compare these two states of existence, the awake life and the state of dreaming. Logical things can happen when you are dreaming, you can be talking to another person or taking a walk. But also illogical things can happen, you can be flying through the sky one moment and then all of a sudden find yourself frantically running through the halls of a university trying to find the lecture room where you have to take your final and realizing that if you miss your final you will fail the course and never graduate and your parents will become ashamed of you. I’m not referring to any type of personal circumstances of course. But when you wake up, you say to yourself, “Oh, it was just a dream and none of it was real” and you feel relieved. But as you experienced the dream, didn’t you think it was real? While you were frantically running through the hallways, didn’t you have the feeling of dread?
When you are awake your field of view, your field of vision is roughly around 180 degrees. But when you are dreaming your field of view is significantly smaller. When you are awake you are using your eyes to see, when you are dreaming you are using your consciousness to see. Whether you use your eyes to see or use your consciousness to see; it doesn’t matter, you still exist. When you are awake you simply give yourself more awareness. You can see more, you can taste more, hear more, touch more, smell more, think more, and even remember more. When you are dreaming, you simply have less awareness. You also have more free will when you are awake.
The awake life really is nothing more than a dream. But it is a different type of dream. It is a dream with logical consistency and consequences, and it is a dream you can keep coming back to over and over again. And it is a dream where you have more awareness and more details. When you talk to someone in your dreams, you think it is real at that moment you are talking to the person. When you wake up, you realize you didn’t actually talk to that person. When you are awake, you know and realize you are truly the only consciousness when you are dreaming. Realize you are also truly the only consciousness when you are awake. The main differences between being awake and dreaming are that you can sense more details when you are awake and there is more logical consistency when you are awake. Despite the differences, the awake life is still just a dream. Walk through a park and look at the trees, walk through the hallways of the building where you work, and realize you are dreaming.
Section Fourteen: Where Do Your Thoughts Come From?
As I have stated, you are creating the universe and what you manifest about the universe is based on probability. We have five physical senses; hearing, touch, taste, smell, and sight. Five senses, five types of perception. You want to think of your thoughts as a type of perception as well. Hearing something confirms your existence. Touching something, tasting something, smelling something, and seeing something all confirm your existence. Having thoughts confirms your own existence does it not? Your thoughts are your sixth sense, but it is not physical. Let’s focus on the sense of sight. Go to New York City. New York is very cosmopolitan and it is a true melting pot of different races and ethnicities. Walk down a busy city corner and you will see someone who is African, immediately behind him you will see someone who is European, and after him, someone who is Asian, then Middle-Eastern, etc. Can you directly and consciously control the race of the person you are manifesting in front of you? No, you can’t. When you walk through a shopping mall, can you directly and consciously control the stores that are there? No, you can’t. You can’t control the thoughts you manifest either. You manifest your thoughts in exactly the same way you manifest your physical surroundings and the people around you. Your thoughts are an aspect of the universe. This means even your thoughts are an illusion. The thoughts you manifest are probabilistic based on the situation. If you are hungry then the most likely thought you will manifest is, “What should I have for lunch?” You can of course control your thoughts to a certain degree by focusing or meditation. If you have bad or evil thoughts now and then, don’t be too hard on yourself. If you’re a straight guy and the thought of sucking another man’s c~~~ comes into your mind, you just let it pass.
Section Fifteen: Consciousness Altering Drugs
Psychedelics are a major rite of passage amongst many shamanistic traditions, enabling the user to embark upon a spiritual journey. They can have very powerful effects on you; they are to be respected, so do your research before trying them. Psychedelics are not recreational drugs, you only want to do them once or twice a year at most. One of the most commonly used psychedelics is magic mushrooms, scientifically they are known as psilocybin. When your journey starts, the first effect is that the physical universe and the state of dreaming will blend and morph into each other. They will reveal a world that you never knew existed. You will finally understand and truly know what beauty is, and you will never see the world in the same way again. You will never again be the same person as you were before. The journey always starts off pleasant, but make no mistake… you WILL face your inner demons, whatever they may be. You will face them, you will confront them, and you will be forced to deal with them. Psychedelics function as a type of mirror, you will finally see yourself for who you truly are; and you may not like what you see. The use of psychedelics requires a certain level of maturity, willpower, and resolve; only take them when you feel you are ready. Using psychedelics is called “tripping”, you are going on a trip, you are taking a journey. Don’t eat anything for about 6 hours before you trip. Your first trip should be someplace private, where you feel safe. Your first trip will not give you enlightenment, it will purge you of your inner demons and that is all. All subsequent trips after the first will give you enlightenment or some aspect of it. For your second trip, you want to do it on a bright sunny summer day. Wake up early and don’t eat breakfast. Take the psychedelics around 10:00 am. Go outside and take a walk, don’t be afraid, you’ll be fine. The things you see will amaze you. The sky, clouds, grass, trees, plants, buildings, architecture, concrete, roads, cars, people; everything will be beautiful. The sky will still look like the sky, trees will still look like trees, people will still look like people; but you will now have a different perspective. Do not deny yourself this experience, it truly is something wonderful. Your thoughts can often be scattered under the influence of psychedelics, bring something with you that will help you to focus. Take a piece of string, tie one end to something a little bit heavier, and just keep twirling it as you embark upon your journey. You will meet many people along the way, but realize this is a journey you must take alone.
Try marijuana too. Unlike psychedelics, there are no cool visual effects. But you will be able to focus and ponder your existence. Marijuana also helps with meditation and makes it easier to enter into altered states of consciousness. If you are a non-smoker, marijuana can be prepared so that you can imbibe it as an oil.
Depending on where you live, there may be government laws that make the use of these substances illegal. You created those laws and you manifested them in the legal system. You created those laws because you are afraid. There are laws against rape and murder. You created those laws because you are afraid of being raped or murdered. There is no need to fear consciousness altering drugs, you are the one that created them.
Section Sixteen: The Key Thing To Realize About Meditation
Meditation takes practice. If you’ve never meditated before it might take you years, but don’t give up. Meditation can seem pointless, there doesn’t seem to be a goal except to reduce stress. Go outside on a really sunny day and close your eyes. You’ll notice that it won’t be completely dark. Even though you have closed your eyes, you can still see a certain degree of brightness because some photons from the sun are going through the membrane of your eye-lid and they are hitting the rods and cones in the back of your eye. If you are a beginner, you want to meditate at night with all the lights off. You want to free your mind of all thoughts, but this is not the key thing to realize about meditation. When you first close your eyes it will be dark. Here is the key thing to realize, you are seeing the dark with your physical eyeb~~~~. You are still using your eyes. The goal of meditation is to make your physical eyeb~~~~ disappear from existence so that you can “see” with your consciousness instead.
Section Seventeen: Immortality
Immortality has a price, and that price is realizing you are truly alone. If you can deal with it and accept it, then you have the will for immortality. If you don’t have the will, you will end up making yourself grow old so that you can die and start the illusion all over again. Remember, you have free will. Your free will is so powerful you can decide when you want to die. You are growing old simply because you are observing everyone else around you growing old, and you’re just playing along with it. Your old cells are constantly dying and being replaced with new cells. Since your body is constantly forming new cells there is no logical reason for you to be growing old. Just keep forming new cells all the time. Your brain is not controlling anything, your brain doesn’t even exist at this moment. When you digest food and you can no longer sense that your stomach is full, all of those nutrients have disappeared from existence. When you form new cells, you think you are forming them with the nutrients you have just eaten. This is not what is happening, those nutrients have disappeared from existence. You are forming the new cells out of nothing. You still need to eat though; because like I said, your reality needs to have logical consistency.
Your thoughts and actions shape your reality. If life is an illusion, then that means death is an illusion as well. Before you can achieve immortality, one thing has to happen first. You must love yourself for who you are. If you hate yourself or if you hate any aspect of your life, it will be impossible to make yourself immortal. There can be no desire in your heart to be someone else. Now that’s not to say there can’t be room for improvement. Even you can improve things about yourself. If you hate your reality, you are hating yourself because all of reality is you. An example of this would be if you are a bat-s~~~ crazy christian and you hate all the sinners in this world and you want nothing more than for them to burn in hell, this is hating your reality. Are you a white supremist? Do you hate n~~~~~s? If you hate n~~~~~s so much, then why do you keep manifesting them? Are you black? Guess what? No one is actually racist, you are just manifesting it. You are the manufacturer of your own oppression. If black lives matter, then you black people really should stop killing each other so much. Are you an asian guy p~~~ed off that you can’t get white girls? Manifest a god damn spine. Are you rich and you hate poor people? Well for f~~~’s sake, give them some of your money. Are you fat? Jesus H. Christ! Go out and get some exercise. If you are fat, you cannot blame it on genetics. If you are gay and you were raised in a religious environment that condemns homosexuality; it can be difficult for you to come to terms with what you are. With regards to that, I can offer no advice. But you have to find a way to love yourself somehow, find a way. If you have killed someone, you killed them out of hatred. Learn to let go of your hate. Are you a muslim? No matter how many infidels you kill, you will just create more. Your jihad will never end. You cannot achieve immortality if you hate yourself or your reality. Remember, all of reality is actually you.
Most scientists believe the brain controls aging; well if your brain doesn’t exist since you can’t observe it or sense it, then that means YOU are controlling your aging. The brain does not produce consciousness. It’s the other way around, consciousness produces the brain. Think of consciousness as being the minimum requirement for existence. Therefore it is your consciousness that manifests physical reality. Make yourself young again by sheer force of will. Find a picture of yourself as a young man and focus and imagine you are that man again. Stop growing old and dying, stop playing games with yourself and accept the ultimate reality. I vaguely recall hearing or reading somewhere that it takes seven years for every cell in your body to be replaced by an entirely different cell. The cells that make up your body today are not the same cells that made up your body seven years ago. On a strictly cellular level, you are an entirely different person today from what you were seven years ago. So it may very well take seven years before you notice anything substantial.
To make yourself immortal, you simply need to have a different perspective. You are creating everything, even your own body. Your legs, your arms, your fingers; you are creating them. At every moment in time, you are creating them. Your body is part of your surroundings, this means “your body and your surroundings” are your surroundings. Take a walk down the street and turn the corner, suddenly a five story building comes into view. You’ve just created that building. How is the building that you’ve just created any different from your body that you have to create all the time? There is no difference. That building is you at that moment in time. Turn around 180 degrees, you don’t see the building anymore. Maybe you see a tree, you are now that tree. What is the only thing that remained the same? Your body. You are using your body as a reference point. If you can create a building or a tree instantly, out of nothing, out of your mind; then why can’t you create your body to be never aging? You are currently trapped in a mindset where you think your physical body is a separate entity from your surroundings, when in actuality it is not. Fundamentally, there are only two things in existence, your consciousness and everything else. Your body falls under the “everything else” category. It is your consciousness that creates the “everything else”.
Maybe you will manifest some of your constructs reading this as well, and so they will become immortal along side with you. Maybe you will manifest everyone on this planet reading this, and all of humanity will become immortal. Even if everyone becomes immortal along side with you, realize they are still constructs.
Section Eighteen: Some Mental Exercises To Aid You In Developing A Concept Of Immortality
Go outside on a windy day and do not wear gloves. Put your hand in front of your face. Your hand physically exists AND you feel the sensation of the wind on your hand. Your skin, your fingers, the proteins that make up your skin and fingers; they physically exist. Now put your hands behind your back. Your hands no longer physically exist. What exists now is just the sensation of the wind. The proteins that make up your hand have vanished from reality. Put your hand back in front of your face, you have now just recreated your hand out of nothing.
Here is another exercise. Stand in the middle of the room, put your hands down so you don’t see them. Look at the door; it is made up of wood planks, molecules of paint, metal that holds the bolts and the hinges. This is who you are, you are the door. Now turn around and look at the window; the glass, the silicon, the frame. You are no longer the door, you are the window. Turn around again, you are back to being the door. Keep the door in view, lift your hand up and look at it. Now you are the door and a hand!
Go outside, put your hands down, and look up to the sky. See how blue it is? You are the sky. Keep looking up to the sky, lift your hand and put it in front of your face. Now you are the sky and a hand. Your body is NOT a separate entity from your surroundings. The sky is just as much you as your body is. You are everything that you see. There is no shared reality that all 7 billion people on this planet are experiencing, there is only one reality… yours. Because you have lived most of your life under the illusion that you cannot change your body, it is your body that will be the hardest to change.
This exercise is very good. Do this at night and turn all the lights off. Stand in the middle of the room, and close your eyes. Keep your eyes closed the whole time that you do this exercise. The concrete floor you are standing on does not exist; the silicon, the minerals, the crystal lattice that makes up the concrete, they don’t exist. The walls of the room, they don’t exist. Your body does not exist. None of these things exist because your consciousness does not need to create them if you close your eyes. The only thing that needs to exist are the sensations that you have a body. Move your head back and forth, move your head in a circular motion. Feel the motion. Stick both your arms out, parallel to the floor. Rotate your arms in a circular motion. Feel the sensations you are creating. Now spread your legs, shift your weight to one leg, then to the other leg, go back and forth. Feel the sensation of the motion that you are creating. Remember, you don’t have arms or legs right now. Now open your eyes, turn the lights on, recreate your body, recreate your surroundings, recreate the universe.
Whenever you go for a walk, just close your eyes for brief periods of time as you are walking. Or go to the gym, hop on a treadmill and close your eyes. Don’t think of anything; and just feel the sensations, the sensations you are creating.
Freedom and movement are illusions also. You can walk to a cafe and have a cup of coffee. You can go to a mall and buy things. You can hop into a car and drive to another city. It feels like freedom doesn’t it? But you are pure thought trapped in an endless, black void and you are incapable of movement. When you are projecting the physical universe, you are actually bringing everything to you, you are bringing everything to the location of your consciousness. The motion of your walking is something you are creating to trick yourself. Your consciousness has never left the spot where it has always existed. For this exercise, you want to minimize the swinging of your arms so you won’t see them. Look straight ahead, do not look down at all, and focus on an object that is at your eye level. It can be anything, an advertisement, a stop sign, a painting, anything. Walk towards the object and try to ignore the motion of your arms and legs. You are not actually walking towards the object, your consciousness is simply making the object bigger.
This is another walking exercise. Stand up straight and look down at your body. Your legs look small and stubby. Keep one leg straight but lift it up as if you are stepping forward. The more you lift your leg, the longer it gets. From the viewpoint of your eyes, the size of your leg has increased. Now start walking forward and keep looking down at your body. Your arms and legs become long, then short, then long, then short, etc. At the same time, the ground you are walking on is changing with each step you take. The perception of your body is changing just as much as your perception of the ground.
Now get one of those rotating chairs, the kind you can push off the ground with your foot and spin yourself around. After you push your foot off the ground to spin yourself, extend your arms and legs so that you can see all four of your limbs. Everything you perceive is constantly changing except for your body. The purpose of your body is to function as a frame of reference by which your consciousness can engage with the reality you are creating.
This one is very subtle and you may not get it to work the first few times. This does not work if you are in a small confined area such as a room, you want to be outside in a wide open space such as a field or an empty parking lot. Look straight ahead, do not look at your arms or legs. Try to perceive everything you see using no depth perception, as if you are looking at a flat photograph. Try to perceive everything as being the same distance away from you. For things that are far away, try to perceive them as being right in front of you but being really small. If you do it right, it will be as if you are looking at a huge flat-screen tv.
Go to an area with lots of people, the cafeteria of a college campus or the food court of a shopping mall. Now close your eyes and realize that none of these people exist. All of the noise, all of the conversations you are hearing are nothing more than voices in your head. Where are all of these voices coming from? They are coming from you, you are creating these voices. The voices you are hearing are your own thoughts. Now open your eyes, you have just given all of your thoughts its own physical body.
As you go about your day, every now and then just stop whatever it is you are doing at the moment. Close your eyes, ignore the illusion that is life, and say to yourself, “I exist.”
Here is the last mental exercise to aid you in developing a concept of immortality. Don’t think about immortality… just be.
Section Nineteen: Scientific Implications Of Immortality
Making yourself immortal will probably result in significant changes to your physical body. I have no proof of this, this is simply logical deduction on my part. That’s right, I said it… logical deduction. The wiring of your brain will change and your DNA will change. Even though your brain and DNA do not physically exist right now, they will pop into existence if they are measured. They can be measured by doing a brain scan and by performing DNA sequencing. Let’s say a brain scan and DNA sequencing were performed on you before you made yourself immortal, then a brain scan and DNA sequencing were performed after you made yourself immortal; they would not match, they would not be the same. The inevitable scientific conclusion is that you have evolved into a new species; you are no longer homo sapien, you are something else now. Personally, I like homo illuminati… latin for enlightened man. Your body will also have to create new physiological processes in order to implement immortality.
Section Twenty: Time Doesn’t Exist
Time is an illusion, just like everything else. It’s a concept. It’s a useful concept for navigating our modern world, but it’s still just a concept. Most people tell the time with their smartphone. If you’re a techie, then you most likely have a smart~~~ch. Maybe you work or take classes or both. You need to get to work on time or you’ll get fired. You need to get to class on time since you don’t want to fail. Physicists are trying to solve the problem of the arrow of time. The concept of time is so deeply ingrained into every human being that realizing time doesn’t actually exist will probably be one of the hardest things to understand.
For time to actually exist, there has to be a beginning and an ending. In order for time to exist, there has to be a frame of reference. The big bang, the formation of the planet earth, the emergence of single-celled lifeforms, cro-magnon, modern humans, your birth… these are all false beginnings.
You never had an actual beginning. You will never have an ending. There was never a time when you did NOT exist. There was never a time when consciousness began. Consciousness did not spontaneously come into existence from nothingness. Consciousness has always existed. Consciousness has never NOT existed. You have always existed. You will always exist. Since you never had a beginning, there is no frame of reference. Since there is no frame of reference, there is no such thing as time.
There is only the now. And the now is timeless. Your actions simply change what the now is.
Just as you are using your body as a frame of reference, you are using time as a frame of reference. Interestingly enough, a recently published physics paper has theorized a model of the universe that adds some corrections to relativity and takes into account the existence of dark matter. When scientists derive the age of the universe with this model, the result is infinity. This implies that there was no big bang. The universe has always existed, it never had a beginning. And this makes perfect logical sense because you are the universe. The physical universe is now mathematically mirroring your realization of immortality.
Section Twenty One: Happiness
There is only one way to find happiness. You must find it within yourself.
Section Twenty Two: How To Live Without Fear
Many new age spiritualists will tell you not to live your life in fear. This sounds good in principle, but this is actually very hard to do without some sort of logical framework on how to do it. How do you live your life without fear of being murdered? How do you live your life without fear of being raped? How do you live your life without fear of a bigger man beating your ass? Here now is a logical framework. Do you realize that you are creating everything? Do not fear what you create. Since you are creating everything, since you are everything, there is no need to fear anything… not even death. Death is something you have created. Since you are everything and everything is you, there is no need to fear YOURSELF; do not be afraid of yourself. With all that said, I wouldn’t purposely walk into a warzone in the Middle-East just to prove a point. That pretty girl you see across the room, you are staring and she is staring back. You are manifesting her, you are creating her. This is the first time she has actually come into existence. She never existed before that moment. Since you are creating her, there is no need to fear her. She is you. Don’t judge her in any way. Go up to her, tell her you think she is beautiful and ask her if she wants to hang out. Will she say no? Will she say yes? What will YOU manifest? Just realizing that she is actually you will improve your game immensely.
Section Twenty Three: The Philosopher’s Stone
The philosopher’s stone was a substance that alchemists of yore tried to discover or create. According to legend, the philosopher’s stone could grant immortality. The philosopher’s stone was believed to be an actual physical substance that you could touch or swallow or imbibe. These misguided alchemists would actually try to run reactions or experiments… lol. It’s both telling and appropriate that something which would grant immortality has the word “philosopher” in it. And that’s what this essay is… philosophy. I believe the philosopher’s stone is really nothing more than a point of view.
Section Twenty Four: Enjoy Your Godhood
Are there wars in this world? Is there racism? Is there poverty? Is there inequality? Is there injustice? If these things exist, then this is who you are. Evil can never truly be vanquished; because it is after all, a part of you. However, you should do your best to minimize evil. You have to stop evil when you see it, but you cannot judge evil. There is no reason to put down or belittle another man just so you can get some ass, that other man is you. Everything about the world is your own self-projection. If you are black and you say that white people are racist, it is because you are racist. If you are a woman and say that men are obsolete, it is because you are obsolete. If you say that someone is a pervert, it is because you are the pervert. If you say that homeless people are lazy, it is because you are lazy. LOL, even this essay is projection. Do not feel guilty about anything that happened in the past; forgive yourself, no matter how heinous your crimes have been. Have you killed someone? Forgive yourself and move on with your life. Everyone is worthy of redemption… EVERYONE! The emotions you feel create the chemicals in your body, it’s not the chemicals in your body creating the emotion. Your DNA does not create you, you create your DNA. This means that, no matter what, you will always be capable of evolving. You are consciousness evolving. Eat right. Cut down on fast food, junk food, and processed food. I do realize this can be difficult depending on your financial situation, but just do your best. Try to exercise regularly. If you can’t exercise regularly, then get a bicycle and use it for going to work, classes, or the grocery. Try taking consciousness altering drugs. Take up meditation as well. The ultimate expression of masculinity is not sex. The ultimate expression of masculinity is to change the world, you can only do so if you develop your intellect. Study physics, biology, genetics, evolution, chemistry, electronics, mathematics, programming, engineering, philosophy, spirituality, female psychology, things that really matter. You already know everything actually, you just have to unlock it all. With regards to understanding female psychology, you want to look to the PUA/MGTOW community. In order for the human species to keep evolving, one of the sexes has to evolve first. And once you truly understand women, you’ll realize it’s not going to be them. If you are a young man, only go to college if you are focusing on STEM fields; STEM is an acronym for science technology engineering and mathematics. If you don’t want to go to college, go to trade school or start your own business. You don’t need to take business classes to start your own business. Refrain from careers that focus on any type of revenue extraction.
If you do involve women in your life, be aware of their true nature and protect yourself accordingly. PUAs initially started the process of dissecting female nature, then MGTOWs came along and really broke it down. And either appropriately or ironically, MGTOW has broken down male nature as well. At this time, with feminism out of control, you do not want to get married or have children. If you don’t involve women in your life, then that’s fine too. You are a man, it is your choice. If you don’t involve women in your life, then there is truly no need for you to pursue wealth; you can focus entirely on self-enrichment and knowledge. Your value and worth as a man does not depend upon who you are f~~~ing. Now that you realize you are God, now that you realize you are the only being in existence, it will be easier for you to develop true alpha male confidence because you are the alpha male. And your confidence will be genuine; it won’t be fake, it won’t be a show, it will be real. You will manifest other men who are smarter than you, stronger than you, wealthier than you, get more sex than you, more enlightened or wiser than you, and yes, even more confident than you; but none of these men are real. None of their accomplishments are real, they are constructs that you have brought into existence. Just because you are the alpha male doesn’t mean you should always express it. I’m a graduate student, there’s no way in hell I would ever try to go alpha male over my professor. Are you trying to accumulate vast amounts of wealth? Are you trying to hoard all of the resources of this planet? Then that means you fear something, there is something that you are afraid of. Life, death, dreams, free will, time, your own body; they are all illusions, even your name is an illusion. The only thing that is real is your consciousness, your self-awareness, the realization that you exist. Just because you can shape reality with your thoughts and actions doesn’t mean you can change the world overnight. You have to remember that the physical universe is governed by logical consistency; so change will be very slow. The matrix is real, the puppet master is you. The irony of existence is that you are the only thing that exists. To become one with the universe is to realize you are the universe. Being immortal doesn’t mean you can’t die, being immortal simply means you won’t age; so don’t act like a damn fool and take unnecessary risks. All life, all of existence, the whole universe, is a singular conscious being… you. Don’t you see? You’ve been in heaven all along, you just have to make it heaven. So stick around, make yourself immortal; I think our world is about to get a lot more interesting. Let’s see what happens next.
i used to be catholic but now i don’t believe in god. in my opinion, religious leaders are just looking for power……the two most powerful forces of humans is money, and religion.
great post palMGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.
You can be like god is the message of the new age religion.
It is also what the snake said to Eve – Eat the apple and you will be like god!
You arent god and you will never be god or like god!Isnt it what Satan wants to be? Be god?
If you look for god then look again, you just found satan.

great post palnot believing in god is what being catholic is all about.
Being catholic is about following laws made by man.
The opposite of being catholic is being christian! Christians believe that Jesus is the messiah. Jesus fulfilled gods law.
The torah ( the old testament) is gods law and the new testament shows how gods law is fulfilled perfectly ( by jesus, the “hero” of the new testament )If you want to be with god, then follow gods law.

You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, …Which is right in God’s eyes? – to listen to you, or to him?
Sorry, but this doesn’t make any sense to me at all. Not even a bit.
"I am is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that I do is the longest sentence?" - George Carlin
I do notice it’s been edited a bit to fit the MGTOW crowd since it got laughed at on http://www.rationalskepticism.org/general-faith/you-are-god-t49247.html
"I am is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that I do is the longest sentence?" - George Carlin
The only thing in the universe which exists is ourselves, I think therefore I am and all that. Everything else is open to doubt. While I’m perfectly open to the concept that my cup of tea does actually exist, I’m a little sceptical about a supernatural being who lives in the sky and tells us all to be good or else we will go to hell once we die. All sounds a bit blue pill to me.
“Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to light.”
One day, after eating enough magic mushrooms to put down a small horse… I came to the same conclusion.
For the most part…
I don’t see myself as the only God or whatever. I just see Men in general as the God’s of Earth, although I’d imagine 95% of other Men out there have not figured this out yet.
I mean who else is above us? There may very well be some sort of “higher power”, but we’re most certainly a part of it. It’s not separate from us.
We are divine beings capable of anything. I’ve seen and done things in my life that have really blew my mind as to what’s possible.
Meditate. Relax your mind.
Now imagine the ideal life for yourself. Focus on this dream. What you’ll find is when you focus your mind on something, you’ll be shown the quickest way to get there.
Positive energy and visualization is great and all, but you still need to work towards these goals in order to realize them. Any lifestyle you can imagine is available to you.
Religions are built to make you feel like a “little person”, that needs to be shown the way by the “big people”, AKA priests and prophets and what have you. It’s all bulls~~~.
You’re as big and powerful as you feel.
Not my property... Not my problem
German Truther: But if God’s law is perfect, why did he have to change it by coming up with the New Testament? Couldn’t he get his Covenant right the first time? Why did he prescribe all sorts of dietary and other rules, then change His Mind? Oh, I forget, His Ways are not Our Ways.
Similarly, if Allah’s law is perfect, why do later sutras contradict early sutras?
Seems to me most of the messengers of new religions aren’t saying you can be God, but more, ‘give me 10%’. Just like the messengers of the old religions! Why does God need all that money, anyway? He must need a lot of hookers and bling and a very fancy pad. God is very greedy wanting all that worship, He seems more entitled than a Princess.

Correct, but very lucrative bulls~~~, IF you are a priest or prophet (profit?)! Historically, many of these were literally ‘big people’ i.e. getting fat off meat sacrifices made by working men.
Theronius: Of course it doesn’t make sense. Religion is based on faith, not reason. Thus, none of them make sense.

God doesnt change his mind!
The New Testament isnt meant to replace the Old Testament and I see no contradiction between the two.
So please give an example of what you mean.The Koran is clearly not from god! so no suprise to me that some sutras may contradict others.
Jesus said:
Do not think that I came to abolish the Law ( the torah) or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.CRACK-HEAD , can you SUCK your own DICK ? put your ELBOW in your MOUTH ? MOVE your UPPER JAW ? ..guess what ? YOUR’E NOT GOD ! ..maybe god’s ASSHOLE ..nah ..not even that s~~~ for brains …

So please give an example of what you mean.I could give many, but let’s take a couple, since God loves to change his mind.
The great flood.
The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth – men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air – for I am grieved that I have made them
And of course, the golden calf — Moses pled with God not to destroy his people, and God changed his mind again.
God changed Jesus’s name from Immanuel to Yashua.
God changed rules on keeping holy the Sabbath.
When you seek ‘forgiveness’ and mercy or pray, God is changing his mind about his judgment upon you.
God may work in Mysterious ways, but His Priesthood, has always acted in predicatble ways, seeking money and power, regardless of Faith system being analyzed or time period.

Really? How do you determine that ‘clearly‘? Over 1.6 billion people believe in it and participate in fun activities like stoning the Devil at the annual Hajj pilgrimmage when not trampling one another to death at same. They would argue your New Testament is not of God. What standard do you use to determine who is right? Logic, reasoning, or a holy war to determine whether priests and bishops should control us, or imams and Caliphs control us?
Muslims will outnumber Christians in my lifetime. Why? Because Allah is good and just? Actually, no — a more mundane answer — demographics — they have a higher total fertility rate. Will Judeo-Christian God punish these infidels merely for being born of Muslim parents, and thus becoming Muslim? If so, is God just?
The vast majority of people do not study religions rationally, or choose them based upon spiritual epiphanies; if God worked in such mysterious ways, lots of people would be completely changing their faiths. They mostly just change between Christian denominations, in, say, the United States.
Long before the advent of Christianity, the most sophisticated civilization on Earth built great pyramids and believed in the Egyptian book of the Dead. To us, this is mythological — but only because it’s not a ‘living’ faith with millions of adherents. If it met that criteria, it would demand the respect of a ‘religion’. But is it any different?
Jesus said:

For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.Correct. That verse means the old law is still in effect, hence the debate in early Christianity over letting gentiles in, whether they had to convert to Judaism first if so, and whether the dietary and other Jewish laws had to be adhered to by practicing Christians. In the end, the Great Theologians determined allowing gentiles in, permitted maximum growth, power, and tithing of the nascent faith. The rest is history.
The great flood.
The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth – men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air – for I am grieved that I have made them
The Old Testament came way after the flood. There was no promise of god that hes not capable of flooding the earth and wipe out most of mankind. In the bible god promises that there wont be another great flood ( and there hasnt been ).
That is a good example of how god doesnt change, because throughout the bible it says that people who are pleasing in the sight of god will be rewarded with eternal life ( after the end of times ) and the ones who dont will lose it. Noah was pleasing god and therefore got rewarded with life.
In biblical endtime prophecies it exactly the same. The good people will be saved ( or rise from the dead) and will be rewarded with eternal life, the evil ones will lose their life ( not burn in hell, just lose their life. Hell is not biblical. ).And of course, the golden calf — Moses pled with God not to destroy his people, and God changed his mind again.
he didnt destroy them.
“God changed Jesus’s name from Immanuel to Yashua.”

God changed rules on keeping holy the Sabbath.
not that i know of… what makes you think he did?
When you seek ‘forgiveness’ and mercy or pray, God is changing his mind about his judgment upon you.
Thats not changing his mind. Seeking forgiveness and turn from your wicked ways pleases god more than not to do it, always…you might have changed but not the rules have changed.
God may work in Mysterious ways, but His Priesthood, has always acted in predicatble ways, seeking money and power, regardless of Faith system being analyzed or time period.
And where in the bible it says that they are supposed to do that? For me it counts what actually stands in the bible because thats gods word and not what people have made out of it. Nowhere the bible encourages such behaviour and therefore people using religion for their own financial benefit dont qualify as “his priesthood”.

They would argue your New Testament is not of God. What standard do you use to determine who is right? Logic, reasoning, or a holy war to determine whether priests and bishops should control us, or imams and Caliphs control us?Its so clear, because the koran teaches the opposite of the bible.
The bible says that Jesus died on the cross for us.
The Koran says that Jesus didnt die on the cross and that someone else died on the cross ( for him ).The bible says that Jesus died on the cross, rose from the dead then lived (forever)
The Koran says that Jesus did not die and in the end times he will come back to earth and live for 40 years and then die.The bible says that the antichrist is the one who denies the son.
The Koran says that Allah has no son and people who believe that Jesus is gods son are cursed.The bible states that Jesus came from heaven and is the cornerstone of gods church..
The cornerstone of the kaba is The black stone, a meteorite that was sent down from heaven by Allah.The bible teaches to even have love for your enemies, while the koran tells to undermine or kill the infidels.
I could keep going on like this for a while.
Deuteronomy 20:
‘But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’ 21The bible says gods Name is YHVH. Muhammed says gods name is Allah and draws a different picture of god then the bible does.
Over 3250 bible prophecies have come to fulfillment, just like they were announced in the bible.. There is no prophecy known that has fulfilled differently then announced. The koran doesnt get close to that and since only god knows the future this is proove enough for me that god really speaks through the prophets of the bible.

I determine by logic and reasoning only. The counterpart to the pope is a caliph…its the same because they are supposed to be substitute for god on earth. But god cant be substituted by a human being, therefore both are 2 sides of the same coin and both is absolutely wrong.
How i see it not only muslims are infidels, being jewish or christian on paper doesnt make you a jew or a christian.Yes god is just. Hes the creator and defines what is just. I dont know what he will do, but god doesnt enjoy torturing humans and there is no eternal hell.
The vast majority of people do not study religions rationally,
I did. I was an atheist before and my belief comes from my studies only. Takes a while though. Figuring out how politics or the money system works took a few hours, but this topic here is enormously complex.
CRACK-HEAD , can you SUCK your own DICK ? put your ELBOW in your MOUTH ? MOVE your UPPER JAW ? ..guess what ? YOUR’E NOT GOD ! ..maybe god’s ASSHOLE ..nah ..not even that s~~~ for brains …
I have to say, I enjoyed your response the most. It was so… emotional.

Actually we are only a construct in your head, remember? So you, well technically “I”, are being emotional. Don’t berate yourself like this.
You should really stop disagree with yourself, as this thread shows. It is unhealthy, or is it? After all “I” determine what health is. Or do I? I can’t ask questions, when I know everything. Or can I?
That’s alright I know everything there is to know about nothing, as long as I ask questions about something, even though I don’t have to ask anything as I know everything….I think.
with much self love,
Your construct
The torah ( the old testament) is gods law and the new testament shows how gods law is fulfilled perfectly ( by jesus, the “hero” of the new testament )
If you want to be with god, then follow gods law.
I know this topic is old, but I was wrong here and feel sorry about this.
Torah means direction,teaching, instruction,or doctrine.
The usual translation of this word as law is not quite accurate. One of the most common ways that torah is rendered in the Septuagint is by using the word nomos. The Greek word nomos, however, has a variety of uses, among which, to be sure, is law, but it is certainly not limited to law.
I think now that the 10 commandments are the law.
Good essay, very detailed. IMO you are only the God of your immediate sphere. To me the universal God that everyone talks about is the Absolute Truth of reality.
I hate to break it to you, but what people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard Morty then it slowly fades leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it. Your parents are going to do it. Break the cycle Morty, rise above, focus on science. -Rick Sanchez
