WHAT IF?
There is a strong tendency for followers to build
an expectation of the followed. There is a strong
desire to want superpowers in our heroes, in our
Gods, and in our leaders; to counteract our perceived
human powerlessness. So, God, for many, has assumed
the big three: omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent:
a super savior of such magnitude; who, for a prayer
will rectify any issue or ill, self-created or not.
As we reflect on this approach - the debate and
consider its validity - many turn away, questioning
why a multitude of dutiful believers have faced
torment, torture, and mass extinction without
even a drop of mercy, grace, or intervention.
As the note below proposes, what if God shares
our consciousness, but is not able to counteract
human free will and directly intervene in the affairs
of humankind? What does it indicate about God –
what would it suggest that we consider doing
to save ourselves, primarily from ourselves?
For a few months, I have been reading and rereading
the note below titled The Stirrings, along with several
related notes that have followed and support a similar
line of reasoning.
This initial note below offers a framework- for how
an emergent God might come into existence. I am
still praying, meditating, and asking for guidance
regarding this topic, but this is one example of
the response I am receiving.
On this note, the emergent God inherits
a troubled collective human consciousness,
unable to exist without turmoil, war,
and savagery. Hate to say it, but sounds
a lot like life on our planet today. So I thought
I would try my hand at a brief introduction
to frame what might have been happening
in the world at the time of this emergence
of God. Ok, let’s start with my intro.
When a groggy consciousness awakes to its
intention, fed by gaining strength from, and
finally given substance to by the fearful cries
and pleas of early humaness – earth’s original
inhabitants - daily facing a stark existence in
a new world; as there fierce, more menacing,
cohabitants seek nourishment, and evolutionary
placement; this infant collective awareness, with
wordless mindfulness, struggling for existence:
produces the perfect clamor to call forth their
salvation, an emerging God, a collective universal
consciousness that finds a reason, an intention,
a purpose, and offers a refuge.
THE STIRRINGS
God came into being through the stirrings
of a combined consciousness, becoming
aware and awake, reaching out to make
sense and purpose of this united presence,
this life fully aware of itself, its place, its
possibility: knowing each individual
presence was, in fact, a part and parcel
of its larger, fuller, greater perspective;
all-inclusive, evolving, and growing. becoming,
being, then dissolving; a sense of one,
whole, a sum of its parts became – this entity
of combined human consciousness, yet also,
inclusive of all less vigorous or fully aware.
Knowing – even as it awoke, the realization
of a turmoil within, at war with itself, angry,
unable to appease or unite: even so, its
allegiances, tribes, or coalitions left little
but fear, despair, and savagery – to placate
it, to aid in its becoming, to foster its evolution –
how was the repeated question, as the over
mind, the now overall consciousness ruminates
its purpose, its existence.
