The Holy Spirit, Karma, the Force,the Collective Consciousness/Unconscious, however one labels it, I believe, Is a very real force affecting the genesis and outcome of history, current events, the future, and individual humans. It moves in mysterious ways. I further believe, the very existence of the organelle in human brains responsible for spiritual emotion is the ansible in which we affect/be affected by said force. It is not the hand of (many of our distorted ideas of the despotic worship seeking) God.It is an interactive force that modifies in both directions.It contains light and darkness, Holy trinities, anti Holy alliances, masculinity and femininity, yin and yang, angels and demons, Sith and Jedi as memes we create. It seeks a sustainable balanced existence. It is the Godhead.Thus we and the Godhead's interactions evolve, strengthening in the more populated (or powerful) areas of communication, weakening in the less populated (or less powerful) areas. Even people who believe themselves, and label themselves atheists and agnostics cannot shut out the godhead through the ansible. One may be in denial about the inextricable presence of spiritual energy within themselves, yet one cannot avoid the consequences of that energy's interactive effect.
Ansible What the? Wait.Whaat? This ain't no foolin' around! Is this some cobbled up jlibberligeon? yes and no.
None of the above thoughts or conjugations of thought are new.
In fact, most of the above ideas are contained in almost very major religion, and are present in some form in many secular philosophies, even atheist musings, and if you followed the link, contain the rationalists' worse nightmare, nerds figured it out on a chalkboard, it is possible to have a subatomic (invisible, but provable) connection to each other and a vast en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology super intellegence
All connected to a vast super intelligence? What!?!
With all the hatred, bigotry, chaos, stupidity, violence going on that never ends? What kind of an oxy-moron-ish, ironic snark is that? Quick list of factors, the nature of deep time vs individual short lifetime, precocious nature of the species, read apes with cerebellums too big for their own good for evolutionists, read people not following divine expectations of introspection of their own nature, and of the expectation to rise above animal nature, as we are different from the animals, and will be held accountable as such for the religious creationists. Same fail, much different mindset. Lack of faith in the Ideals that people have the power to change, one person at a time, by following one's own well informed conscience for the secular, lack of faith in one's own conscience, and so transfers one's burden of responsibility to the dogma, and/or cult of personality/charisma of an animal domination centered human organization, i e, ones religious congregation/affiliation. Same fail, much different mind set. Ape acting, dominance seeking people conditioning some of us from birth, or conversion, by group mobbing a person on a scheduled basis using rituals to program your ansible overriding independent moral judgement in a bid for the social power and paternalistic control that transfers to themselves. Islamic's,( for example only), are reinforced five times daily, upping the psychic ante.That speaks loudly as to the psychic energy released, for better or worse when their spiritual leaders guide them, and they do not filter the sources acting upon them. Ape acting (or Toxic Alpha Lizard acting) predominately secular, social-economic politically charged power and control structures, Institutions, and/or legacies screaming non-stop nonsense into one's ansible (since birth, within households of the powerful or chronically power seeking families in a generation to generation toxic family culture, in a bid for, Hey! the same thing! Well, plus the con of the dishonest insinuation that their position is where are the money, power, and "security" is on any side of the equation. Now, substituent the phrase "one's own conscience through ones own lens" for the word ansible above this line, and below the intro fold.
Okay, I hear ya, get to point, already
I am suggesting a mindset, that within which any number of Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, secular humanist, atheist, ad nausea, participants: may engage in a constructive discussion, finding more common ground than not. Follow, your own heart, focus your own lens, and carefully consider any damaging software in your own ansible before you stake out your position, and try not to judge or harm, weigh and calibrate your own emotional content. Gauge and respect the point of reference and emotional content of your foil before you formulate a response.
Deep time. Kinetic energy. Population pressures.
These are volatile times, potentially end times for our species due to the above mentioned factors, and this is why it is critical we understand all the forces working upon us as a species, The Gestalt. This is where we reinforce the truth that we are all in this together. Provable theories and mathematics of the laws of nature, the laws of motion, kinetic energy, momentum, and so on, seem to be adaptable to the science of sociology. This seems to suggest an underlying physical Force...May the Force be with you all.
Mon Aug 24, 2015 at 3:22 PM PT: The pea under the mattress that inspired me to compose this uncharacteristic ramble was noting that many times when people are discussing issues, in this forum or any other, sooner or later many participants will reference their own religious/spiritual energy, or professed lack of, and usually in a provocative and/or insulting manner aimed at another participant.This is always irrelevant to the discussion at hand (unless it IS the discussion at hand) and only exposes the ignorance of those participants.There seems to me to be only one proper response, and that is a chorus of "irrelevant and inflammatory comment" to the offender(s).
