Has God exhausted itself (using the human experience) as its main source of self expression

a reply to: Joecroft

The same substance as in the same substance and not being filled with anything else for expansion or contraction.

The ''whole'' as in entirety, meaning that humanity is perhaps making hypotheses based on glimpses of the 'now' rather than the before, now and after.

Slow motion for humanity in such that the human experience might be a slow motion observation compared to the greater reality.

Cool…This is actually close/similar to what I think is more likely to be the case. I think God/Source is more aware of everything at a highest given point, and is therefore able to project ahead of time, i.e. weigh up ALL the variables, so as to more accurately predict the future.

This is just my opinion, but I don’t think God/Source knows everything in an infinite expanding universe, ahead of time; but that it can only project ahead of time, better than anything else. We all have a divine connection to Source/God IMO, so this is what I believe allows us see potential glimpses of the future…

If we all have a divine connection to Source/God, and said source is allowing us to see potential forthcoming glimpses of our future, the sheer power of that ability to do just that, as well as all of the universal expansion and creation. In my opinion, this shows an infinite knowledge of what may or not be, as Source/God can really foresee, as Source/God is an entity.

What if there were a select few of whom Source/God shed some more light on those glimpses into the probable foreseeable future?

So not even any information within the substance itself…?

Also, my hypothetical question was about the universe infinitely expanding, so it has to be filled with something else, for expansion purposes…?

Yes, possibly, but remember my question was not stating that the universe is definitely infinite and expanding as a fact…(even though I personally believe it is)…it was just a hypothetical around the question…of what if…


My original question again just for clarity…below…

“how can an entity know everything in an expanding universe, in other words, it can’t know everything until/before it happens, or can/does it…???”

In a way, your answering the question, by stating that humanity is perhaps/probably, making an incorrect hypothesis about the nature/observation of the “whole”, whereby the whole is possibly not infinite and expanding i.e. it’s unknown etc…; thus nullifying the question…which you’re quite entitled to do of course…

Yeah, this makes perfect sense…the greater reality “might be” completely different to how we perceive it…absolutely…

Well, I guess they would be just like the Prophets in the Old Testament, but in this day and age, probably nobody would take them seriously…In (Acts 2:14-21), it’s states that men will have the ability to prophesy and see visions etc…, in the Last days…

Of course, that verse is actually quoting Joel 2:28-31, and of course the Jews were expecting/believing in an all conquering Messiah in the future (end days; i.e. the “dreadful day of the Lord”) which was to coincide with the pouring out of Gods Spirit; as mentioned in Joel 2:28-31…but of course the pouring out of the Spirit took place at Pentecost…and there was no dreadful day of Lord taking place then…

So perhaps they (Joel) got the pouring out of the Spirit part right, but the end times, “all conquering dreadful day of the Lord”, part wrong…and then in turn, that part of the error (end times) was compounded in Acts 2:14-21 and beyond etc…

I would like to have reason to think/believe this true...
It could give rise to hope...I suppose.
On the other hand - do we just take your word for it - that, your imaginations are better, broader, deeper...more creative and sound than...our own?

It appears you completely misunderstood the comment. I could reiterate it but you already presumed too much from it and took it as a literal translation of the universe.

I suggest you reread it.

Just for clarity, here’s my original question again…

I suggest you reread it.

But my hypothetical question was about an infinite and expanding universe, so your reply/answer, has to be connected to it…right…?


Here’s the key break down of your replies, I suggest YOU! re-read them…

I’ll highlight the key parts as I go…

From your first reply below…

Originally posted by theabsolutetruth
… the fact that humanity has hypothesised the expansion from observation is irrelevant as it is a glimpse of the 'now' rather than the whole,…
…

Your above statement suggests that humanity doesn’t know if the universe is expanding or not (which is fair statement to make IMO)…but it still nullifies my hypothetical question…And the rest of your statements confirm the same unified thought process. As I will show below…


I then asked you to clarify your above statement, as to what you meant by the “whole”…in my post below…before presuming or assuming anything…

Originally posted by Joecroft
You say it’s a glimpse of the “now“, rather than the whole, but what is the “whole”, in your understanding?

To which you replied…

Originally posted by theabsolutetruth
The ''whole'' as in entirety, meaning that humanity is perhaps making hypotheses based on glimpses of the 'now' rather than the before, now and after.

So again, you’re re-iterating that humanity is perhaps basing it’s expanding universe hypotheses, on the now (which is a fair statement, that I personally have no problem with etc…) but again, it bypasses/nullifies, my original question…

Also, when someone/you states, “humanity is perhaps making a hypotheses based on the now”, I HAVE to assume (with so little other information to go on) that they/you, are tying that statement in, in relation to the original question, which was around the topic of an infinite and expanding universe…It’s the most natural assumption that anyone would make!!!


Peace…

Again you didn't read the original or the replies properly. Your reply presumed again.

I suggest if you are asking me about my comment, refrain from presumptions then read it again.

The title of this thread is very misleading and presumptuous, therefore it is fallacious and cannot be answered (referring to OP's post by Veteranhumanbeing).

theabsolutetruth: The presumption being ''God'' using humans for ''self expression''. For all you or anyone knows ''God'' could be considering humanity as less than worthy of anything other than contempt.

I'm assuming YOUR assuming 'god' did not create the human, (too far below consideration); but the human created 'god' as a contemptuous afterthought? (THE MAJOR GRAND JOKE PULLED). Small problem here, as we live within its sphere of observation; could annihilate us as a specie at whim; not enough wars produced or energy to eat; OR its really a benevolent being that supplying/ IS JUST OUR HOUSE WE LIVE IN; occasional rents going unpaid.

theabsolutetruth: Additionally it is presumptuous about ''God'' needing vessels for ''self expression''. For all you or anyone knows ''God'' could be the entire dimensional consciousness and humanity irrelevant.Equations cannot be made where all the variables are unknown.

God is not a physical being; of course it needs an 'animated' form (that it had a hand in creating) matter/material to express itself (I guess old growth trees do not satisfy its appetite). I agree, creating humanity (after all) may have been or had its 'boomerang effect' (oops, I created something that is of a 'smartypants variety' and questions my intentions; MY Own Beingness). Why would the human be left out of Gods entire dimensional consciousness; its RELEVENT as to being the SOAP BOX creator/stander upon in ITS defense; human to God "You exist only because we dreamt you into being, created doubtfull religious DOGMA; and made up books about you". God to human: "should have stopped creation at the 'livestock' phase; (just mooing at each other not true language spoken). Equations; they are only theories that apply to the make up of the physical universe; making sense of matter, animation. All variables are unknown; if they WERE; we all go back to the 'vanishing point' of a thinking about existence and have to RE-BOOT this silly thing all over again.

a reply to: vethumanbeing

The point is:

Neither you nor anyone else knows anything of ''God'' if 'it' exists as a concept, as an energy, as the entire universe, as a being, as a dimension or anything else.

Therefore you cannot ask questions based on your presumption of ''God'' nor any of the other questions based on how you think ''God'' operates. Because you do not know the nature of ''God'' or indeed of the greater picture of the Universe.

Your presumption is that of human ego, so you can ask others opinions of your opinion but you should refrain from using your own human ego presumptions as a 'basic premise' on which to base questions upon as if relevant.

What say you?, that No one can ask ANY questions based on a presumption 'God' exists? Don't drag the innocents into this. How can you speak to my understanding of 'god'; you cannot overlay your obvious '(non disclosure) policy up close and personals with God' with mine; (I am not a prophet but I would imagine you'd as an EGOCENTRIC would have some choice gems/word play if met Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Lucifer). God is meant to be a concept; otherwise revealed would say "HOLY CRAP THE JIG IS UP" (I've been found out to be a real entity or a FAKIR). I can ask any questions I like' based on any presumption (if I think god hides as that tree in my yard or the insect that boors into my apples) I can (I'm imaginative), it hides EVERWHERE in plain sight (the nature of god is an itch you cannot scratch).

theabsoluteturth: Your presumption is that of human ego, so you can ask others opinions of your opinion but you should refrain from using your own human ego presumptions as a 'basic premise' on which to base questions upon as if relevant.

Your own ego is defining much of this dialog (you brought it up yourself/concerns--nothing to do with mine). I thought the reason for asking questions is not calling out a referendum to be voted upon, more a "what are your thoughts upon this idea". I should refrain from using my ego presumptions to base further questions as if relevant? I suppose I will ask YOU FIRST before I ever post an OP ED again (I am not paying you in advance for your advice), but would listen regarding any "The eternal wisdom category" that applies.

...ITS ALWAYS ABOUT ME; why wouldn't it (I am the one point perspective reference) or the one going out on the limb and questioning my existence and how it relates to others experiences with a perceived yet to be disclosed 'god' force. ...

It’s Always About Me…
How could it not be?
I cannot get in your head…if there is a “you”…with a head.
In conversing with “you”, I must ever deal with whether “you” are as disadvantaged as I (in these questionings)…or, are “you” built-in to the game…

Why does it seem we have been cleaved in two…then sewn back together…with a diffractive-buffer placed between?
Is that my religious catechism Horshacking around?
Would there be no such question/s…absent early conditioning?

A number of times you have referenced “we chose this life/path”.
And, at others, that we are supposed to remember…else soul-advancement becomes a long-shot.
You say that – you remembered, and are at peace with your given/chosen path.
So many, though, have no such assurance, or remembrance or…experience.
To them…it is another religious claim that can only be realized through ‘faith’.

I love to consider everything you write/say… Except, of course, when you’re calling me a coward (since, I am).

I would like to think, as Nechash suggested, that our perspective/s are simply too square, and that ‘God’ is hoping that we will find a way out into a whole new world/existence…for ‘God’ to enjoy.

Last night, an old thought came to visit… – does the sperm stand knocking at the door of the egg…pleading its case/cause?
Who would know that we are not, right now, proposing ooohs, ahhhs, perfect harmony/unison and glorious ever-afters to the only egg in this tunnel?

Maybe we could start a Church of The Egg... (if someone-else hasn't already)

A thoughtful post WanDash thank you for your reply (I am nothing without commentary from such as yourself); I'm physical just relating a 'story' I am supposed to remember (same as you)automatically built into the GAME; (Daniel Pinchbeck is more of the anthro,pologist) describing mans relationship to a nebulous 'god' force and the human condition/conundrum relating to it (Marshall McLuhan a close second; more gamers than I, but I watch). I am just as disadvantaged as you or any other because the 'truth' has to be sought and not a given conclusion as to ONES OCCURANCE HERE (and how it relates to anything other than environmental factors).

Wandash: Why does it seem we have been cleaved in two…then sewn back together…with a diffractive-buffer placed between?

That buffer would be the known truth is HIDDEN and one has to seek it. Why? I think its unfair; unless the higher-ups are waiting for the Gnostics to proclaim "HEY we KNOW" and you cannot outsmart us; and are ready to reveal all secrets as to your beingness/intent cruel or in loving kindness. Looking at the cleaving process; that was the 'fall of man'. Naked and now afraid. Nice reference to 'sewing' as it includes shame but enlightenment immediate (I am without clothes, knowledge) and have no reference point as to my being. Not sure about early conditioning, I think the soup was boiling when we decided TOO HOT; have to vacate premises (garden of Eden perfect ecosystem).

Wandash: A number of times you have referenced “we chose this life/path”.And, at others, that we are supposed to remember…else soul-advancement becomes a long-shot.You say that – you remembered, and are at peace with your given/chosen path.

So many, though, have no such assurance, or remembrance or…experience.To them…it is another religious claim that can only be realized through ‘faith’. Not sure faith plays here as valid; that is a belief system that is usually WOODEN and unbreachable (FALSE)
We are supposed to remember the reason we incarnated; but for at least 70 percent do NOT. One has (or not) to remember past life karma and correct it (within one life time!! warned of this) or in the least remember why one is here to experience 3D AGAIN (so tiresome). The whole point is to progress as a soul on the path to complete enlightenment (Dante Style). I have no problem with 'faith' if that leads them to enlightenment; anything and I MEAN ANYTHING opportunistic works if there is a revelation of any type.

WanDash: I love to consider everything you write/say… Except, of course, when you’re calling me a coward (since, I am).I would like to think, as Nechash suggested, that our perspective/s are simply too square, and that ‘God’ is hoping that we will find a way out into a whole new world/existence…for ‘God’ to enjoy.Last night, an old thought came to visit… – does the sperm stand knocking at the door of the egg…pleading its case/cause?Who would know that we are not, right now, proposing ooohs, ahhhs, perfect harmony/unison and glorious ever-afters to the only egg in this tunnel?Maybe we could start a Church of The Egg... (if someone-else hasn't already).

We would call that "Egg Harbored" (don't even need a New England seaside resort or F.Scott Fitzgerald to say so). Our perspective is so one dimensional as not to be believed; clues left in the 3D? Pop culture. Footprints in the snow variety regarding all things 'bright'. Religious Booklings left by forefathers. I think the egg has to open the door; millions upon millions of sperm knocking at it; as a single ovum has the control (you need to meet my father first before asking me out). So there is, I agree; some sort of glorious dance happening right under our noses. Egg Harbor equals Egg Planet; formatter of the circumstance of meeting?? Just a guess, but it was all planned out eons ago to confuse us (I like a good treasure hunt) . Hoping the golden egg has a shiny new quarter or a pound of silver within it?

akushla99: Nice question.
As expression in sim cities, we're more like unattended avatars (you've alluded to this VHB)...I dislike the analogy, but, the hardware takes its own course - evolving, developing, mutating...the software has built-in fuzzz that ignites on contact with catalysing 'other' expressions (maybe split personalities competing for ir/rational moments)

Unattended avatars; to be sure but the combined created 2D images/3D sculptures do the job describing as self expression. Deconstruct the hardware before it has a chance to duplicate/multiplies. Split personalities trying to find their whole or original source material.

akushla99: - I don't think the experiment is over by a long shot, dimensionwise...the conditions have always been there for 'random' acts of destruction of epic scale (blue marble style) and it may come to pass, but I think you're on the money with the sense of abandonment, maroonededness...CEO doesn't actually 'check-in', doesn't need to...generals and underlings are in attendance...they're playing a percentages game on the CEOs behalf, not so much tipping scales (like fundies would have us think)...slow and steady winning the race, gotta know our ABCs before writing that Ancient Mariner tale...too much information racing through brains...Walt had it down Aesop style (maybe reincarnate - Grimm not so much) I see myself as Goofy.

I don't think 'god' is done with this experiment; I just contemplate some obvious lacking of major INFORMATION bullit points: Its become less of a 'Dallas' rerun and more of a revamping the series (yes it happened), and as soap operas go, start killing off the characters for its own entertainment out of boredom. It is a truism, when incarnating we do not get a 'procedural manual' but instead something else (if truly lost) a bible. CEO will never check in; TOO EASY, thinks the answer is within us (its called sure to befuddle/mystify the seacher hunting for truths you have to invent/decipher all by yourself). Walt was a genius, no doubt and left so many clues (not dropping bread crumbs or corn variety). The generals take charge in absence of a leader, as the Romans conquered the known world with those they enslaved along the way (such irony). One of the brothers Grimm should have married Mother Goose; I wonder what the next generation of fairy tails would evolve from that collaboration? I do not see you as Goofy; more the Senior Stag, (Bambi's dad) "Oh that clean lush meadow of innocence FOOD can't possibly be dangerous" or the Fox character (I can at least get one over on a wooden boy that's trying to be human) Pinocchio; (definitely not Mr. Starbucks from Moby Dick). Fables; Aesop style, more parable like (Psalms); yes, Walt was a great re-interpreter of these. We both understand the blue marble for sure.

Bullet points looking like a lace-up boot - taking too long to don, lace and adjust...damned stone in the heel, leather's burning my ankle, toes cramped in the Classic Toe style du jour...

It is said that you can't tickle yourself (not you VHB) - finding delight or surprise in the juxtopositions, mixing snakes-and-ladders, monopoly and 24D chess...or, ruling lines in a blank page book and not keeping faith with the constrict we created, but penned, instead of using a Steadler 4B...can't rub that ink out...white-out's messy...tear the pages, start a new book?...maybe where the last one left off - or make it Lynch-style and out of order...

Self-expression misnomers or misunderstandings? Tickle-me Elmos (mechanical kind) elicit response - sometimes uncontrolled...I know I laugh...even when I press the button - maybe crude bum jokes are more 'someones' style...I know I laugh, even though I know there is no joke - may just be the machinery kicking in?

A typically garbled and egotistical reply.

Basically you do not know anything of ''God'' so you should refrain from pretending anything otherwise.

I never claimed to nor suggested my permission is required for such questions. I am pointing out the error in your question. It cannot be answered because it is based on falseties from your imagination.

If you had asked how others perceive ''God'' as a comparative to your imagined perception I wouldn't even mention it but basically you said ''here's my imagination's idea of ''god'', now do you think ''god'' has stopped behaving like this?'' which is an irrelevant question as it is based upon your imagination.

Yes its just as well Bambi's 'dad-stag' never had to wear the human 'classic' footwear of the day (someone was smart enough to allow them to grow their own feet)(horses would argue with their version; as one still can pick up a random stone and no built in hoof pick to remove it).

Mr. Lynch could find some source matter here (definitely of a darker vein stain). When creating blueprint viable drawings ALLWAYS have a 'true point' rotator model D-3760 to sharpen your leads, and a hand held electric eraser (zaps away those mistakes DONT DRILL THROUGH THE PAPER). When penning lines, make sure you end at the margins neatly (as I write within those).You should try Japanese block ink, never can get it BLACK enough. White out has an interesting odor; makes me want to paint some nails (horse decoration) tell the truth and change the temper or idea of those hooves as being what they actually are (those aren't feet).

There is no joke really; just realization, guessing out master wizard behind of the behind of an idea. You want to try getting a hold of two or three "FURRBIES" (look like cairns or the 'toto' dog Wizard of Oz). Put them in a room together and sit behind the door listening. It is fascinating the conversations they have between themselves when they think no one is listening.

Make sure your path water eventually runs into a nice glass jar labeled "LOVE" or "CHI OF LIFE" as water thinks/responds to its environment molecularly (becomes a happier sort of water when named I suppose; re-bottled sewage water becomes "breath of life" OH THE TRICKERY). I do watch sand running through fingers, and try to catch all of the grains; was it more important to watch instead of achieve? We are all sleuth matter, and (someone; paying attention, to the diamonds that might be stuck in the screen would be pleasantly surprised at the number of them that arbitrarily presented themselves).

If there is one thing that distinguishes mankind from all other life forms, it is the fact God endowed it with 'Imagination', something IT knew of personally; and gave to this specie (in the hopes that Man would recognize this tremendous GIFT); the ability to change its environment/circumstances and contemplate the relationship between itself and a potentially perceived 'creator'.

I am operating from a one point perspective; I enjoy/rely upon others to tell me what their experiences are because I am deeply interested in them (those that choose to have a diolog and reply to this OP). There are those here that are speaking with one another freely without any help or contamination of thought form by/of mine or yours.
