WHAT IF?
There is a strong tendency for the followers
to build an expectation of the followed.
There is a strong desire to want super
powers 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 - 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 a number
of related notes that have followed and
support a similar line of reasoning.
This initial note below offers a frame-
work 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.
In 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. 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 own intention, fed by, gaining strength
from, and finally given substance to by the
fearful cries and pleas of early humanness –
earth’s original inhabitants - daily facing
a stark existence in a new world; as their
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 own
salvation, an emerging God, a collective
universal consciousness that finds a reason,
an intention, a purpose, and offers 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, 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.
