There Is No Such ‘Thing’ As God

There is no such ‘thing’ as God. There is god consciousness, which is supreme consciousness, pure consciousness, good consciousness, but that’s what we are, without a need to refer to an outside source. Whether we believe or not, being good – seeing without bias – and refraining from stealing or murdering doesn’t come from religion. It comes from natural goodness and understanding.

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”

If we are pure consciousness, we needn’t put any belief or intellectualisation before us to worship:
that is the cause and maintenance of bondage. This commandment creates a belief system of confusion when it could simply mean, don’t put an image of a self before pure consciousness because that causes suffering.

The difference in interpretation is for each of us to contemplate.

Where is the proof that consciousness comes from, or is part of an external God? Look at us. Are we Godlike? No. We are fickle, temperamental creatures, who are easily upset.

Believers say,
“You don’t believe what I believe so I dislike/hate you!”
That is the message belief gives out.

When we read anything, we either believe it, or experience it through recognition. Feelings and theories do not come into this investigation.

Seeing is knowing.
Pure consciousness is pure seeing without any additions.

The additions build walls around us;
they are something that we believe will protect us,
due to fear caused by confusion.

We could say that pure consciousness comes from God, but what good does that do, when we are unable to act with benevolent understanding towards those who do not believe. Our attitude is all about me, me, me and mine – and that is certainly not god consciousness! God consciousness has to be unconditional love, but what we do is rely on an imaginary external being to do that for us so that we don’t have to take responsibility. When you consdier it, this sounds ridiculous.

Always look at the behaviour of the people who read the ‘book’ to see if it’s worth reading – this will tell you everything you need to know.

Too many of us just read for reading’s sake, and get so involved in the story that we end up just believing, and never actually experience the ending because the belief in the words has obscured the experience itself.

En masse, the world has been doing this for a very long time. The Buddha is saying, just look, see and drop attachments. Words are only a belief upon which we fixate.

If we act godlike in our conduct,
then we are worth listening to.
Drop the charade.
