Ideas of God?

[Samielleus Prince]

I know we're all holy angels, but I'm sure we all have different ideas as to what our creator is. I, for example, do not see god as a he or a she but an everything. I coined the acronyme "ISOAE" which pretty much describes my idea of god: "intangable spirit of all existence" That we are all actually made in the image of existence becuase we exist. (take that rascists!) so what are your ideas on god, please share!

My Idea of God(or the Great Creature if you will), is much like yours, I don't see the Divine as a solid form, but that of all that is energy every where, weather it by Oder or Chaos all comes from it.
But I also believe that use Angel where one of two Old races, use being 2nd only to those know as God to other religions. I also have nothing against them, the are also Children of the Divine too right.

I agree Az, I see gods and goddesses as companions and friends, not things of worship becuase we all answer to existence in one form or another. Even the most powerful god or goddess, once forgotten, has to face loosing thier place in existence, at least as far as humans are concerned. Same goes for us angels too.

I actually like the Hindu belief in Brahman to describe my views of the Creator. To those who don't know, Hinduism is a monotheistic religion with 5 million gods.

Reason being that each god is not an independent being, but one manifestation of Brahman. Example: When Brahman wishes to destroy, Brahman is Shiva, however let us say that to counter some of the destruction, Brahman appears to preserve another creation, this time Brahman comes as Vishnu, the divine element of preservation. This also in a small form mirrors the Christian trinity, father son and holy spirit with Brahman, Shiva and Vishnu. Now add in the other 4,999,997 manifestations and we've got it pinned.

I also share the idea of a spiritual force. Everything springs from the Source of All. Light and shadow, order and chaos, form and void, presence and absence. The dark aspects are the origin, while the light aspects are the creation. As both dark and light are of the Source, both are sacred, and must be held in great respect and perfect balance by creation.

In a physical form, I like to think of the Source as a misty ribbons of royal purple energy, lacing in and out of everything in the universe, so that we are connected to Him as we are with everything else. That's just my visualization, though.

wow alot share my veiws on my thoughts about the Creator. recetnly wached a minie movie called Fallen on ABC family. One one line from the fallen Eziekl is "God God such a limmiting name The Creator is Buddah shiva jehova" And on the fallen site Cameal explains "The Creator has many names neather male nor female but ALL" I agreed to that one. I do serve the Creator and always will espessaly since I found out about the Powers. It explained why I had such a warriors heart and love of the stars beleived in balance ect and some of the experiances I had.

I personally subscribe to the 'diamond' approach...where physical experience/people/etc is much like a light shining through a diamond (the diamond being 'god' in an omnipotent sense). As that light refracts it creates different colors which are then identified as deities/gods/etc throughout this world and perhaps others. I very much take a polytheistic approach to monotheism and a monotheistic approach to polytheism...gods and goddesses are personalized archetypes and are quite real i feel, but can also accurately be looked at as emanations or aspects of an otherwise intangible/omnipotent energy...that i affectionately refer to as 'everything, yet nothing imparticular'...to highlight an interesting duality of something being all that there is AND all that there isn't, true omnipotence (which follows with my thoughts on non-linear time and choice vs. destiny...not to be confused with fate and all a different conversation).......so 'god', i feel, is not only the connecting lattice but the space between the cracks.....which gives room for the aforementioned 'refraction' and speculation through personal experience...dually, the order/chaos, light/dark...all/nothing.....humans, amongst others, are a bit of a monkeywrench, but i'll also keep that rant for another day...

I'm not really sure how to view it. I don't believe in god, per se; I don't believe that there is one single driving force out there that created everything, that kind of thing. I like to look at it as certainly possible, and that yes indeed I could be wrong. I like to think of it as possible that EVERYone could be "right" about what god is or isn't.

I personally don't feel a tie or connection with anything; I just -AM-. I wasn't made by anyone, I don't serve anyone, and I don't mind; I do what I feel is "right" based on my own personal morals, and that's enough for me. I help where I can because it is what I desire to do, not what I have been told to do.
