When people read books from the past they need to understand how to read it. When we say tell me what happened today? We use facts, fact, facts. But this is not how people talked 2,000 or more years ago. Stories and histories were not told this way and so when people today read the Bible or Koran or such and read it literally without understanding history, context or the culture then of course you will not really get it at all. No owner there are so many misunderstandings.
SCROLL DOWN THIS INTRO TO GET TO MY BLOG POSTS, THANKS.
Most of what I write about is a combination of both the natural world and the spiritual world and while I agree with most of modern science to date, I do think there is also a spiritual layer to reality.
Sift through the PAGES and POSTS for more interesting information guaranteed to make you think and question.
FYI:
#1 Nothing is No Information
#2 Something is Some Information
#3 NoThing is Infinite/Unlimited information
Be careful how you understand NOTHING to be and how the word is used when you read my pages and articles on the web. I hold that the true vacuum energy of our universe and of in fact everything is from NOTHING of Infinite Information, is dynamic, and full --not empty, stagnate, and of zero information.
All the information collected from this process of existence and life is also retained inside of the Nothing. Who knows how many times existence and life have happened. I don't think information is lost or destroyed, and I don't think it returns into a zero-information kind of nothing.
Both understandings of nothing look very similar. They are both undefinable, unquantifiable, immeasurable...but they are opposites. The difference between zero and infinity.
FYI: There is One thing all of life wants, even human life and that is the effects of LOVE.
Joke
Nothing- Nothing and everything are but different forms of the same.
Nothing is everything, but everything is not nothing.
From Spirit to Nature

Why do we read the Bible literally?

What is God?
For myself, I view God as a Spirit. An infinite, illimitable, eternal Spirit. What is a Spirit? For myself, I view a Spirit as the most fundamental form, most simple form of energy.
I think to call the Spirit/God as intelligent or conscious, restricts and limits our own understanding of it. This is because we view life and nature through our own intelligence and consciousness. Ours evolved naturally from simple to complex and is restricted by body/space/time.
A God would not have these limits, would not have evolved and would not be complex. Therefore its "intelligence" and "conscious" would be nothing like we understand.
God is not a consciousness inside a brain or an intelligence inside a brain or even a mind inside a brain. Though a mind might be the closest we can think of it. God would exist outside of space and time and inside of it; therefore, its "consciousness" would encompass past-present-future and even before time. Its intelligence could be much like a mathematical genius quantum computer. Perhaps an Awakened Energy-Spirit- would be a better definition.
There are two kinds of energy in my view. Spiritual and Physical. When we understand virtual particles and fundamental particles better, I think we come closer to understanding what Spiritual Energy can do as well.
Spiritual Energy >>Withdrawal>>Space Forms>>Physical Energy Emerges>>Fields> Virtual Particles> Forces>Fundamental Particles>Everything Physical Forms.
Science examines the natural/the physical, not the spiritual.
I agree with everything from science, except when biologists (not mathematicians) use words like purposeless, without guide, directionless, without goals.
I agree with mathematicians assessment of randomness.
The reason is because in biology, we are talking about things without a consciousness -processes and mechanisms are non living things and can't have a purpose in the sense that they are using the word. They don't have a consciousness. They are not aware.
We are examining processes and mechanisms, but what is this substance (energy) that these processes and mechanisms are using. From where does this substance (energy) come?
Those are essentially the questions at the crust of the real inquiry into what is reality.
Simply because the process or mechanism is not conscious itself, does not mean they were not structured deliberately or without intent or thought, or that a spiritual energy does not exist.
This simply means that physical things and processes and mechanisms without a consciousness don't have a conscious purpose/goal.
Well, Duh.
So, I agree biological evolution doesn't have a conscious purpose/goal in and of itself -because we are examining only the physical Things, the physical processes and physical mechanisms.
This says nothing about the spiritual significance.
However, they do have a natural purpose/goal.
All energy persists toward entropy =Death.
All life persists to survival =Life
Further, all energy follows a pattern from simple>complex, chaos>order, from heterogenous>homogenous, from random>non random, from death>life>death.
These patterns are reflected in our natural laws.
So, all of energy does follow a guide or a direction. It is the direction or reflection of the natural laws.
is Nothing all there is?
Science seems to be going in the direction that true nothingness does not exist. This is because whenever you find nothing, you find virtual particles.
I would have to agree not just with the science, but with that concept in my view of life and reality.
Nothing does not exist, because whenever you find nothing--you actually find everything just in its most simple and fundamental form. Nothing is NoThing, not the non-existence of everything.
The most simple and fundamental form of reality is NoThing and this is why this happens in my opinion.
The real question for me is, how much of life experience and memories is retained in this simple fundamental form that makes up our universe and our everything?
How is it retained?
We can see cells seem to have a sense of memory and experience, but do virtual particles too?
Do all our memories and life experiences retain themselves in some fundamental form of energy?
Could what we call the soul or spirit be an echo of nature itself?
It does seem that virtual particles have to behave certain ways. It pops as a gluon only to become a photon or such...because it seemingly has to conform to the existence it pops into. Some virtual particles might pop into our existence as anti-quarks, but most have to conform and so we see the photon it is supposed to be.
Why do virtual particles conform? What rules are they following? It seems they are somehow aware of what is around them if they are conforming. (Not to imply this awareness has to be conscious.)
