God And Pure Consciousness
It is said that God created … once.
Pure consciousness does not create, but minds create all the time.
To know anything – including God (external) –
there has to be consciousness (internal) present.
Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?
Did God create consciousness?
Consciousness does not create, but mind does.
Consciousness doesn’t believe anything, but mind does.
Consciousness is pure being.
God is being a creator.
If God is pure being, why create?
The mind can create figments of imagination,
when it does not know its essence of pure consciousness.
If we are saying that
God is pure consciousness, and we are pure consciousness,
there is nothing to believe in,
and no disagreement.
If we are saying that mind created God,
that would change human history,
and lead us into a very dark place of confusion and division.
Look at the world now …
God created humans with a brain/mind. From it comes conciousness.
I read that book when I was young and wanted to believe, but all it did was make people sound obsessed.
This why I took to the Vedas and Buddhism, that needs no belief.

Each of us must find our own way. Believing in something is important. I believe in God because I see evidence of Him in everything. It takes more faith to believe that all we see out there was an accident.
Accident?
This is a blog based on Buddhism. Who said anything about accident?
You have chosen your way. Others chose another way.

I was merely referring to those who don’t believe in the Book. If there’s no Creator God, what is there?
To answer that, you would have to read the blog to understand Dzogchen Buddhism.

I know. I am familiar with Buddhism
