GOD is an objective phenomenon
This is a philosophical thread. God is an objective phenomenon that occurs within the human mind caused by social interactions. The word "objective" here is used in the phenomenological sense.

I've come to the realization that god and all sorts of metaphysical, mystical belief systems exist only in language; there is no such thing as "inner connection", "universal meaning" etc. Considering all human bodies function the same way, all I see is a dark blankness in me, and it remains dark, and blank, as long as I don't use my senses, such as sight and hearing.

So, it's a fact that without sensory communication (and there is no other communication), it's not even possible to form an idea of the word "god". It's a mental concept that is purely cultural. In other words, it's a made up, abstract construct that has no ontological reality of its own. Therefore it cannot be a subjective reality either (and it isn't).

PS: Just close your eyes in a dark, cold room where there is no sound. You will see that ultimately there is nothing except the cold. There, you'll meet your purely subjective perception of cold, which depends on your mental status, which is dependent on your bodily (ie; neurophysiological) status.

I certainly do, mister. Actually, I've been analyzing my subjective world for a long time, and there is no god there, it's just my own conditional existence. People are basically liars.

The terminology 'GOD', as it is understood by most today, is a relatively new construct! This understanding is actually not found in either ancient religions or their cultures, however, the modern concept has been overlaid over the concepts of 'Supreme Being' and other, top of the food chain, hierarchical beings! These were in all cases, flesh and blood beings who were so advanced, or wielded so much power, that the peoples of the times referred to them as 'living gods'! Point in case - the Pharaohs of Egypt.

So I do agree with you in that the concept of 'God' as it is understood today, does not exist in reality, however, I believe that 'God' does exist - it's just not in the way that most would perceive when they hear or read the term 'God'!

Re: GOD is an objective phenomenon
You talk about meditation, yet don't seem to have a qualified opinion. (You have not meditated.) It is not about language, it is about quality and energy. When you sit still in the darkness, adopt a concentration technique such as following the breathing, something that focuses concentration. Yet remain passive and at peace. The mind will change in ways that you may have not remembered. It can become absorbed. The discursive conceptual state is exactly what needs to fall away for meditation. Also will be realized life force, and that mind is one with it. All kinds of benefit comes about from such practice.

Of course, but please realize that this is purely my 'objective perspective'!

You have said that you feel emotion. What do you think emotion is - whether positive or negative? From my perspective, emotion is an impulse or energy we feel in response to an external stimulus. But that impulse arises from something that is also external. Some say that this is what spirit is - energy that possesses either a positive or negative charge or a myriad of grey areas in between. Therefore, my understanding is that God is equated to the 'spirit of love', more precisely, unconditional love. It has no mind, thought or creative power of itself but rather provides the energy or impulse behind the mind's thinking and creative power! Such an impulse could just as easily be a negative one and in this case, rather than ascribing it to the impulse of God or Good, it would be ascribed to the impulse of Bad or Evil.

You could say that the life force controlling everything has a personality, which is interacting with the human. This is the reason why the People gave a Name to it in first line.

It is also very certain that not all People are able or wasnt in the favor the recognize Patterns and ways of communication which are very personal in nature.

Right, "external stimulus"... This is actually my basic point. This to me ultimately means that there is no such thing as a sole "thing in itself" (ie; God), isolated from all other things, an unconditioned reality of its own. There is basically no such thing. And that makes one a finite quality of an inexplicable, chaotic infinity. This I believe is the solid proof that all abstract concepts can only arise within language, they are all temporal mental constructs.

 Quoting: hooper6248


I'm not sure I can explain it very well. It is an energy in the body that is tangible, experientially substantial, as real as if you poked your finger into your ribs. It is living and has the nature of light and bliss. It is also experienced intuitively as the same as thought focused in such meditative intention. Again, realization is about energy, at least on a level, as so much more could be said concerning love, for example. But words separate things where they need not be. Advancement is increasingly subtle. I am not a master.

6. They wear skins like greys do but they implement drugs to cause seizures in people to ignore it.
7. Some may be biblical fallen angels or descend from them, if they are among human beings they are FALLEN from their own government/intergalactic area, they are CRIMINALS.
