I mean, no matter how fucked up things get, no matter how abandoned you feel, no matter how irrational and illogical it may seem, you just have this feeling of.... faith on something "bigger"? (and i don't mean the family sized pizza!)
Well the only thing I have faith in is the Law of averages which states that as good as you (all of us) put in, you (all of us) will get out. It will not be ten-fold like it says in the bible, but I can live with that. I have learned a lot in my short time and one of those things is that if you disregard everything that comes out of a "spiritual" person's mouth, regardless of deity, the truth is easy to see.
The world (universe) is all about vibration and the lack of vibration. Vibration is what we call energy, the lack therof is called entropy. So here we are in a Cosmic Black box, on a planet surrounded, nay bathed in energy from a source that is unknown. We know that without the energy bath, vibration ceases and entropy starts to slowly steal away whatever energy we have in reserve. So we walk/grow towards the places that are bathed in energy. This is true for all life, plants animals alike. This is a delicate system, built in three dimensions out of (possilbly) multi-dimensional stuff by what Aristotle called the "Prime Mover". The prime mover is the "being/thing" that wound up the energy clock and watches it, slowly very slowly unwind.
If you look at the world empirically (based off observable evidence), God really doesn't care any more for me, than for the cat that was hit by the car when I tried to save it from a dog. The prime mover doesn't seem to care about life or death or love, just that every thing that vibrates at one time, eventually stops vibrating. Almost as if it was an experiment in seeing how long the bowling ball takes to stop its roll. While we are here we might as well save ourselves.
In fact, Salvation itself is one of the most human things on the planet. God did not invent that, we did when we built the first fire, the first walls, the first club. Salvation is a social structure and family and morality and NOT going around the globe converting people like it says in most (some) religions.[/quote]
nice reply man
I'm pretty much a believer of energy all around too, since i was a kid. I mean, i discovered quantum physics by myself when i was 10
okay, it actually wasn't that, i just thought "why the hell do all these atoms have to stick together? what if we're just being 'reformed' every second?", but hey, that's pretty bold for an 10 year old
anyway, there was this really cool article, that explained God through artificial life programs. It was REALLY crazy stuff, but it all made sense. If you had this artificial life program where each being is represented by one pixel, the dude said that a person (the creator of the universe), could not be represented by a pixel, so therefore, God probably wouldn't be represented on our world physically either, and lots of stuff like that, involving physical presence, spirituality and prophets. Even for the skeptics, it was an interesting read.
I already considered the mental sensation of "there is something else there" to be some kind of evolutional synaptical "wiring". If we get to a place where our head is spinning too fast, it just throws us to this alternate "cool down" mechanism which makes us think "there must be something else i can't grasp!", and that would be the basic principle formation of faith.
But what the hell, i'm sleepy as fuck and i can barely read what i just wrote, nevermind my mental wanderings
I agree with the whole faith cooldown thing, kind of like a necessary release valve/coping mechanism because our little meat brains cant make sense of it.
