Re: Tree of Life
arcora: Thanks for the background information and for expanding on what you mean and believe and have experienced. That puts you in a new light for me and I can say I can understand the things you mention there.
Personally I'm not trying to say there is nothing divine, or no good or bad etc, actually quite the opposite: There IS good out there, and the Divine Laws are here for all of us, no matter if we believe in them, know of them, or not.
There are good entities out there to help and assist us and try lead us towards greater understanding and insights, to see the bigger picture and the connections, which I've been experiencing for many years, decades really, myself now.
What you call God seem to be what I call Goodness, or the Positive Energy. This is there to help and guide and protect us, and so are we ourselves, we need to understand our own being and we'll be free - we can learn to distinguish negative influences from positive ones and we are all influenced by both at many levels through our consciousness in our daily - and nightly - lifes.
For me, Jesus was a normal man, that spent time on spiritual development, traveled around and found various systems of spirituality he practiced that helped him gain what is popularly called Enlightenment. There's been many such individuals through time. And there still are, and we can all reach that level of being ourselves.
He was not more a Son of God than anyone else, we are all Daughters and Sons of God - he had just evolved spiritually more than most.
When it comes to GOD, GOD is a conscious Source that embraces everything that exists, and everything exists within the consciousness of God. Nothing can exist outside God, as that would make something Above God and thus that other element would have to be God. So, there exists many gods, deities, demons and devils, all within the Source of the Consciousness of the TRUE GOD.
It is possible to connect to the Source and gain great insights, understanding and knowledge on everything about existence and all within it, but communication with God as a "conversation", is not something I see as probable as it is potraid by the Bible and Prophets etc, and other people who claim to be in contact by God and "speaking" with Him. For me, those are most likely in contact with other entities.
Best wishes,
