I see a birthday coming up

9/3

Another trip round the sun

Long strange trip it’s been

Trip-indicular, trippy, triptastic

Sun go down, sun come up again

Tomorrow is another day

Day by day, time goes, on and on

Light and dark, dark and light

Same ol’ same ol’

The future is the past

Holy frijoles, batman

The child is the father of the man

———

Difference between sacred, holy, divine God/deity, and merely just human

Whatever you want it to be

You get to decide, yourself

I say they’re equal

Humans could even be ranked below some other animals, actually

But I like who I am, so -  equity

From tiny bugs to biggest whale, we’re all just animals

Variations on the form of a tube

From mouth to anus

We eat, drink, piss, shit, think, talk, move around

e.g. Bees do logistics, and elephants talk

Humans are fancy apes

Holy cow, batman!

same category

angels and unicorns and santa claus and tooth fairy and GOD

deities and dark lords and vampires and heavenly host and hellions

Imaginary, but carrying water, holding truth

ooh, Heaven is a place called Earth

  (war is hell)

"be humble, be human, be authentically yourself" -kzsu deejay

Now the Easter Bunny.... That's real! lol

Good Or Disobedient?

both, neither

"GOD only knows". (Gathering Of Data)

still pointed concentration, meditation, mind-maintenance

SPC, social-purpose corporation

spacetime, energy/matter (2 things, not 4)

space has length, width, height

time has past, present, future

matter is solid, liquid, gas (and don't forget plasma!)

not quite the neat trinity of trinities I heard invoked

but anyway

is it not always now? so to speak

and what am I to make of "virtual particles" that pop into and out of "existence"?

Is Heaven like a Playboy Mansion?   filled with bunnies and pets.

Or maybe a ride on a Space Station in zero gravity.

Or a hike in the woods, a trail ride, lounging in the sun by a pool, etc.

(Virgo?) birthdays in Sept of people I know: 9/1, 9/3, 9/8, 9/10 (2), 9/11, 9/15

I turn 55 yy

Does God exist?

Define ‘god’!

Creator of the universe? (parents made love)

Most powerful being in existence?  (“all-powerful”) 

   (devil? morpheus? pope? power-lawyers? president?)

Perfectly good

   Corporate entity with best of everything

strongest, most beautiful, wisest, most intelligent, best at....

speed-reading, olympic events, writing, thinking, saying, doing

father, son, holy spirit (male sexuality)

Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

YHWH, Yahweh, Jehovah (H why, backwards)

Jehovah,  Allah, Waheguru

Shangdi, Zeus, Ra

Me myself and I

holy holes, spiritual spurt

   communion and cum union

1 God, multiplicity of names, characteristics

YHWH is also El Shaddai, Elohim, and Adonai

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are 3 aspects of 1 (triune) God

There is a list of 99 Names of Allah

I like

starting with Al Rahman, Al Rahim (the entirely merciful, the especially merciful)

- Avalokiteshvara is the Buddhist bodhisattva of infinite compassion

- and Krishna is the God of tenderness, compassion, and love

        a trinity of mercy and compassion. :-)

(vs. gods of hell, punishment, destruction, and evil)

Hell is a nightmare (but makes Oblivion comparatively welcome)

Syncretism of all of them.   Who knows where one ends, and the other(s) begin?

corporation God

gods are virtual realities, unless: 

a)you are god, and/or b)reality is god

God is my copilot, significant other, Reality itself

Everyone should have a punching bag

No one should have a gun

Everyone should learn martial arts

No one should fight

God thinks he's all that.  High and mighty.  But the LAW is for the Low And Weak!

I ate a broken fist for breakfast

she made me breakfast, she makes me nervous

I made a blog, I made money, I made friends

I made mom and dad mad

I spent my time spending money

D.O.G. woof

writing about writing

Just put an empty page in front of you, and start typing.   Like this.   I have wprb playing music in the background.   Very nice.   Pleasant.  What do you want to read?  That’s always a question.   But more importantly, what do I want to write?  Something humorous, light-hearted.   You know, like ‘the meaning of God’.   

God, with a capital G, is the God of gods.  Numero uno, head honcho.  Up there, in heaven, doing whatever it is a God does.   He does good, and he does it well.   He has freedom, but since He is perfectly good, He always makes the best choices.  If you ARE God, then it really is all good, right?  I mean, by definition.  

So, good and bad is defined by who you are?   That can’t be right.  You step into your God suit, and play the role for the audience in your head, and it all comes up roses, with shiny happy people holding hands?  Well, if the definition of God is Love.

If God loves something, does he hate its opposite?   Like loves peace, and therefore hates war?   Or does God love everyone, both sides of the chess board, as it were.  God may love bullies, but he’s on the victim’s side.  God has His own law.  He loves (and hates) everyone equally.  He does not have his own people.  God likes beetles more than humans, maybe. 

Anyway, I got sidetracked.  God is a concept, role, identity, status.  God is good, love.   God is merely a word that people rally around, if you ask me.  Something for a group to identify with, to define inclusion and exclusion, members and outsiders.  God loves humans, male and female, and everything else.  God is happy.   They say "only God is good."   You should Be Him, too.  

Create something.   Like an origami box balloon.  Or a crane.  Or a blog post.  Or a book.  Or knowledge, do some research.  Use Wikipedia or google, trivia cards, whatever.  Make yourself into the body you want to look at.   Make money.   Make friends.  Make love.  Be a maker.   Make do, with what you got.   Make bacon.   Bake a cake, as fast as you can.  Make a choice.   

Shiva is a destroyer.   Part of creation is replacing older, inferior, broken things.  Brahma and Shiva are not at war.   Shiva is not trying to nuke anyone, destroying our planet, or anything like that.  But to dust we shall return.  Time creates, destroys.  So create before you die.   Make yourself happy.

How would I presume to know anything about God?   Well, I’ve been to church, to Mass, to the Wikipedia page, to a Theology class in college, to a dictionary, in love relationships, and in front of a computer (the word was God!).   Reality is all the God there ever is, said a guru (Adi Da Samraj).  God is good.  It’s linguistic.  It’s the universe, multiverse, all.   All?  Aha.  Allah.

So what is the meaning of God?  The word ‘God’ is the creator, ruler of the universe, the source of all moral authority, and the Supreme Being.   Like the alpha male of Reality.  For all us human gorillas.   The best.  That could be Mr. Universe, or Olympians, or the greatest geniuses, in a complex relationship of melded mind.  I mean, if you ask me.   

Strident euphony of Biggie Smalls

A savior named Xavier

Grace Obedience Devotion

AMOR

   alpha male of reality, absolute master of reality

AMOR

Alpha Male Of Reality!

Who’s in charge?  What’s the measure of charge?

    coulombs

Don’t start some static, with a deity!

Rhee’s re-ality

Ality, all over again

Itty bitty Al

Cyclical, repeating, iterative

Yet another one, tomorrow

Day after day, year after year

Nothing new under the sun

Nothing nude under the sun

Nothing over the sun, around the sun, in the sun

All nada, who art in nada, nada be thy name

Re-petition 

Please God, something new?

Real reel, the living movie

Constructing meaning from the world’s slowest moving movie

Need more time?

Here, have an infinity of spacetime

You don’t know what that means?

Maybe you will in a billion years

Hahaha

Alpha beta gamma delta rho omega

Omega male of reality?

The first shall be last, and the last first

Or whatever

Like I care

Beta Female Of Reality?
