I know that it is invisible helper monkeys, anyone who believes otherwise is working against the Great Ape, and shall be banished to the Lair of the Evil Lemur.
If you truly open yourself to your helper monkey, then it will be quite apparent that he exists. You shall bask in the great fortune he delivers, and feast on his wonderful gifts of proverbial bananas.
"Shouldst thou open thine heart to the love of the monkey, thou shalt be open to the greatest of all loves, and thine heart shall shine unto the plains, feeding the primate love unto all who have peeled the true Banana" -Orangutan 6:21

Enter. Im just curious as to what your personal idea of "God" is. I mean there are hundreds if not thousands of examples of the ideal of "God". I mean do you feel that "God" is an eternal type of energy and love permeating all things, allowing us free will. Or are you more of the camp that feels that "God" is a huge type blond man sitting in the throne of heaven striking down heathens, and pulling the strings of everybodys life. Do you believe that "God" exsists in all things, or jusst humans? Not flaming or anything. Just curious.

When I'm so lost and weak minded that I feel I need to make up a fantasy in order maintain the will to live, perhaps I will do so. Until then, I'll keep thinking.

Beautiful
Its funny how believers see us as so lost and scared, because we see them the same way!

We can also treat Him like a nobody, like the numerous people we all pass everyday of our life without initiating conversation or heartfelt interest.
Hello, God? Are you there? Please stop treating me like a nobody and ignoring yet another one of my attempts at conversation with you (I?ve made hundreds of attempts when I was a devout believer). Since you won?t speak to me directly, should I open my imagination up to a conversation with you? I tried that with the Great Monkey, and He insisted that He, in fact, is the Great One, and I should pay no attention to any conversation I might have with you. Of course, my rational mind insists that wasn?t a real conversation, but rather just one that I would have liked to have had with Him; so how do I know that a similar conversation with you would be any more real? Is the conversation supposed to be one way where I do all the talking? I just don?t get this whole communication thing and am looking for help, either from you directly, or from an enlightened member of the Shroomery.
Likewise, and more noteably, God can decide to find delight in 'communion' with certain individuals or groups of people.
How about a post from God to the Shroomery!?!? That would be cool.
Seriously, how is this communication thing supposed to work?

Thanks for the reply. I think what you're saying then, is to see the 9 points you made to Phluck a few posts back.
Happy holidays!!! Hope you and everyone else has a great Christmas!

GOD isn't a person! God is just another word for reality, or zen! Thats what I'll live by, and never die by, because death is a false pretense.

In reply to:
God is just another word for reality
That's my preferred way of looking at it, I spell god as N-A-T-U-R-E aka T-H-E U-N-I-V-E-R-S-E, or aka R-E-A-L-I-T-Y and I don't assign anthropomorphic characteristics to it. The beauty, the mystery and the power of reality becomes an easy object for misunderstanding and manipulation of the gullible when reduced to myths and dogma.
-------------------- To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

How many people here actually understand what a 'gnostic' is, or what gnosis is?
