Hi robert and List...I
think it's funnny this thread "Disney" should eventually lead to a question of
"god."
Anyway, excellent clarification of the question, robert. By answering
"whose god?" we get an idea of the god who is whose god, IF we've taken the time
to understand the individual's or culture's god. I would like to suggest
further that by trying to understand an individual's or culture's god, we have
our best opportunity to understand what motivates the individual or culture
and, thereby, the individual's or culture's behavior. For myself,
having been raised in the Roman Catholic Church, but long long since denounced
any membership, I have struggled with whether or not there exists "god" at
all, and if so, how? Consequently, perhaps this is at least one reason why
my behavior has tended throughout the years to focus more and more on the thing
in front of me and less on the past and future. I cannot deny that
separateness is an illusion and, of course, along with it notions of
"independence" and "freedom." All of of us eat the same dirt, breathe the
same air, drink the same water, at least the essence of the same of each of
these, since the quality of what ultimately reaches each of us can and does vary
dramatically. Nonetheless, I am taken more and more with what binds us and
what is my essence. Presently, I am saying consciousness and
curiosity. What does this mean for my behavior? Obviously, it will
depend upon the situation, and that's a place I like to occupy. Leaves
plenty of wiggle room to do whatever the heck I want and not feel bad about
myself because I'm not living some "pure" form of existence. Recently, I
began to think of god in terms of "intelligent energy" and ultimately
consciousness and curiosity. Then yesterday I was walking a daily walk I
take and I wondered what it might be like to have the whole of the universe
spread out before me and within me with nothing separate from me, everthing
resolving itself as part of me who is conscious and curious. I had to stop
and start laughing--and crying--and mostly wondering. I'm still there
today when I have seen this post to the List and an opportunity to think out
loud, if you will.
Maybe all of this is random meaninglessness. Maybe. I'm
satisfied, however, whatever it is or is not, all of
us are connected and that it is only "the devil in the details" that
deceives us and blinds us to, perhaps, a reality more magnificent than
anything we can imagine. For some of us, sadly, this "devil" is
the "god" that motivates us, making it seemingly impossible to ever
attempt a real understanding of "whose god?" "who is god?" Mike
