Is humanity really just God pretending not to be God?
    #23875336 - 11/28/16 02:28 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Question for the group:

Do you ever/often? find yourself "not wanting" to be God? Like, wishing over and over it was not true and wanting "somebody else" to be God?

It's just too much power and responsibility and not to mention the mind fuck aspects of it?

My last 3 trips seem to be trying to get me to accept and be at peace with this fact... Solipsism always seems to ruin my trips and just makes me feel like I'm this insane lonely God or something. We're just "really fucking good" at making imaginary friends. (i.e. - you're everyone)


Tripped on 2.35g lemon tek (equivalent to a 6g dose in my experience) a couple nights ago and spent most of the trip in my bed, under the blankets just wishing not to be God.

Begging for "someone else" to be God but at the same time knowing it is what is and not something I can change. Eventually I started cracking jokes to myself by asking rhetorical questions like "Well, who else would it be then? Who else is there??".


I remember at one point I was thinking about the holy trinity - you know the idea that God is actually three Gods but still the one God at the same time? Because I'm just full of paradoxes!


Anyhow, I had this thought of "If I'm one of three and three in one... do the other two even exist or is it just a lie I tell myself?


I answered myself back "We just have a gentlemen's agreement where we agree not to ask each other if they're "real" or not."

To be honest, when I'm in the Godhead, I feel like I'm on the verge of insanity, wondering if I just made the whole world and this life up? Am I even real? What's real anyways??


It's like I have this fear of being completely and utterly alone and that humanity is a sort of coping mechanism I made for my self to escape from myself. But I also cling to the hope that each life is part of some larger "grand design" and maybe this is how we evolve and grow up (as God).


Anyhow, after a couple hours the intensity subsided and I decided it was time for my "come down shower". This is usually my favorite part of a trip and where I begin the integration process. Complex understandings have a way of simplifying themselves into one line explanations.

This one was:

Humanity is just God pretending not to be God or Everybody is just me, pretending not to be me.


With that said, I know you all are "real" at at least as real as I am :wink: But you're also all reincarnations of ME and I a reincarnation of you.

7 billion different perspectives of the same dream, you are one of them, as you are all. As a drop of water is to the ocean. There is no right answer, only what you chose to believe in stays true to you.
:vibin:

It's a choice, as with everything. You don't have to pursue your spiritual path, if you don't want to. Like you said, with great power comes great responsibility :wink:

When i'm in the Godhead it feels like home, a place of comfort, the only time I feel at my fullest potential, a completely vulnerable and open mind open to endless possibilities -  great power and wisdom can be learned from this realm

Different ways in which The
All-That Is
Perceives Itself"

Sounds like lemon tek,, i wouldn't say they are pretending, logically its more like acting. I have always found it a frightening that your creator can, and does on regular basis,, fling beings so deep into the samsara, odd and obscure corners and intersections of reality,, so deep that your spirit or being forgets there is even a veil. Just to keep the childlike spirit young and naive of the greater reality..

The heard has a tendency to forget that they are the flesh they are consuming and do suffer for it an in a simultaneous karmic cycle as beings that experience being in an abstract way, I remember the dreamlike state of being a cow slaughtered, and stream of fish spawning,, idk why it's rare to find other people that remember these visions.

strange concept that your creator shows its love by letting you cut a chickens head off and watch it run around and just to see what that heart would give for just for -yu 2 live one more day.. if ur luckiii

What is God?  The Jewish, Christian or Muslim God?  Hindu God's?  Buddha?

I don't really believe in any of them.  A god like experience may be possible.  It's just really difficult, if at all possible, to physically materialize such a state of being.

Who would want to be God?  Crazy people is who!

Too much responsibility to be what people assume is God's ability.  Having an answer to everything that could never go wrong.  People assume God is all powerful, infinitely wise and never makes mistakes.  That's just impossible from a human life although I think many people pretend to be God.

You may have a very special experience.  I highly doubt it will never end.  Doesn't make people an all pleasing deity.

Only if God is really a bored twenty year old. And created the world for the same reasons that we create whole worlds in video games. If so God got his moneys worth with the earth. Games within games and lives within lives but there has only ever been one real player God "ME". ROLMFAO EGO dude its all EGO!

The Buddha is not a God that's just wrong

stole this... :P

There are different types of worship. When someone worships a god, they praise him or her, making offerings and ask for favours, believing that the god will hear their praise, receive their offerings and answer their prayers. Buddhists do not indulge in this kind of worship. The other kind of worship is when we show respect to someone or something we admire. When a teacher walks into a room we stand up, when we meet a dignitary we shake hands,when the national anthem is played we salute. These are all gestures of respect and worship and indicate our admiration for persons and things. This is the type of worship Buddhist practise. A statue of the Buddha with its hands rested gently in its lap and its compassionate smile reminds us to strive to develop peace and love within ourselves. The perfume of incense reminds us of the pervading influence of virtue, the lamp reminds us of light of knowledge and the flowers which soon fade and die, reminds us of impermanence. When we bow, we express our gratitude to the Buddha for what his teachings have given us. This is the nature of Buddhist worship.

Yes, I find myself to not want to be god. And I guess that's why we experience it to be so. Sigh.


--------------------

It doesn't matter whether you are christian, muslim, jew, atheist or ascribe to any other belief-system.
It doesn't matter whether you look out to the stars, or under a microscope to the tiniest of particles.
It doesn't even matter what kind of practice you perform to reach your goal.
Because if you keep looking, everything eventually leads to the same truth, like a fractal that contains itself in every direction you take it.
You will find yourself.

I love you.

Blatant self-advertisement.

Probably possible to be Godly.  Strong peace and connection.  Seems psycadelics can be Godly, or not.

The Holy Trinity isn't God actually being 3 Gods.

The 'Son' is all of mankind - a generation of God who is 'The Father'.

This is how theology figures by use of the Holy Trinity model that we are not God.

I don't believe Ina hiarchy in any world, spirit or earth.  There are places of being better suited for somewhat of an authority as having better perspective.  What may have been better perspective does not indicate a constant never ending authority.

Regardless of personal belief, it is what the term 'Holy Trinity' entails and use of it, suggests by default that mankind is a generation of God.

I believe in realms much older than the Big Bang.  Before higher processes.  I have never imagined a single entity but some damn old ones.  We don't know what all exists or has existed.  I rarely even hear good day dreams of possibility.  It seems to me it's all a hypnotic regression to before their was time.

Haha I like it...researchers have actually filmed the moment of conception and when the sperm hits the egg, there is a "big bang" it looks like fireworks!
