God isn’t a religion. But rather God is reality, in that God is only knowable as being one and the same as believing the truth in reality; God = reality. And in whom and what all is made knowable; if not from the truth and reality, then all that exists is ONLY made knowable in one way and place. And outside of this ONE way and place the attributes and capacities of God that He assigns to His children are unknowable.
If consciousness is an awareness of the truth and reality, then consciousness must be our awareness of our existence in reality. So, the truth, reality and a believing mind must be what makes conscious beings aware.
And if it is self-refuting and impossible to suggest that the truth and reality doesn't or didn’t always exist, then the truth must have always existed in reality, because the otherwise is unknowable in reality.
And if belief is necessary in order to make the truth and reality known, then a believing mind is necessary in order to make the truth known in reality.
And if the only way and place that the truth can be known and reality experienced is in and by a believing mind, then the only thing capable of making the truth known and reality experienced is a believing mind, because outside a believing mind neither the truth nor reality is knowable.
And if the only way and place that existence is knowable and experienceable is in and by a believing mind, then the only thing capable of knowing and experiencing existence or knowing of its own existence is a believing mind.
And if the only way and place that is capable of making the truth known in reality is a believing mind, then the only thing capable of hosting the truth and reality is a believing mind.
And if the only way and place that is capable of experiencing consciousness is a believing mind, then the only thing capable of experiencing consciousness is a believing mind.
And if the only way and place that is capable of making the truth and reality known and consciousness and existence itself experienced is in and by a believing mind, then the truth, reality, consciousness and existence itself must be the capacity of a believing mind.
And if the truth, reality, consciousness and existence itself is the capacity of a believing mind, then the only thing capable of hosting the truth, reality, consciousness and existence itself is a believing mind.
And if the truth, reality and consciousness exist, then they must have a way and place in order to exist and to also be made known to exist.
And if the ONLY thing that possesses this capacity in fulfilling this requirement of a way and place in order to exist and to also be made known to exist is a believing mind, then the truth, reality, consciousness and existence itself must be the product of a believing mind.
And if a believing mind is the only thing capable of hosting the truth, reality, consciousness and existence itself, then a believing mind must be the origin of the truth, reality, consciousness and existence itself, because outside of a believing mind no truth and reality is even knowable, and consciousness nor existence itself is even experienceable.
If the ONLY way and place that the truth, reality, consciousness and existence itself can be known and known to exist is in and by a believing mind, then the ONLY way and place that the truth, reality, consciousness and existence itself can exist is in a believing mind, because there is no other way or place outside of a believing mind that this capacity of belief can occur.
Therefore, in whose believing mind did the truth, reality, consciousness and existence itself originate?
I say it is in God's mind that the truth, reality, consciousness and existence itself originates. But, if you disagree, then please be so kind as to mention what you know of outside of a believing mind that has the capacity to make the truth known, reality experienced and consciousness and existence realized? Thanks
In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; this one was in the beginning with God; all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men, and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.
There came a man -- having been sent from God -- whose name [is] John, this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him; that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light.
He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world; in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him: to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him; but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name, who -- not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but -- of God were begotten.
And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, `This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;' and out of his fullness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace; for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come; God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare. (John 1, YLT)
