Do you ever wonder if God is actually unwell?

[Honza]

We all wonder how it all started. Why we are here and where we are going. Do you ever consider that the reason is unfortunate? Maybe God could not help Himself. Maybe life started because God broke down.

Maybe something happened which God couldn't help. I often wonder if things are as they should be or if an error slipped into the system and forced the issue.

Perhaps those whose perceptions of God have been propagated to the masses were not pure when they wrote their man-made scriptures and stories about God. One cannot rule out that possibility.

Exactly. It is like something is not right.

There is a teaching, for sure, that God did not exactly create this place -
(Throw out the Bible Story), cuz, c'mon, why would He make such a psycho planet, it was said.

That the power of thought is so powerful that there was someplace this crazy thought (from who, I dunno):
"Wonder what it would be like not to be in Heaven and in this wonderful place?"
And 'Shazam' - here is this Illusion or Dream we are all a part of.

And when we wake up out of the Dream (not wake up from the Dream, exactly -OUT of it),
the entire Universe as we know it... disappears.

Jesus' awareness, apparently, was 'outside of this place', as in, he knew it was only made of dreamstuff --
this is why he could manipulate matter so easily....isn't that what we do in our dreams? Cuz they aren't real.

Just sayin' - this is not a teaching many are aware of, I know.
Turns ancient ideas on their head!

BUT! Then, you have this from the amazing Meher Baba!
So whassup?


"God is love. And Love must love. And to love there must be a Beloved.
But since God is Existence infinite and eternal there is no one for Him to love but Himself.
And in order to love Himself, He must imagine Himself as the Beloved whom He
as the lover imagines He loves.
Beloved and lover implies separation.
And separation creates longing; and longing causes search.
And the wider and the more intense the search, the greater the separation and
the more terrible the longing.
When longing is at its most intense, separation is complete, and the purpose of separation,
which was that love might experience itself as lover and Beloved,
is fulfilled; and union follows.

And when union is attained, the lover knows that he himself was all along the Beloved, whom he loved
and desired union with;
and that all the impossible situations that he overcame were obstacles which he himself had placed
in the path to himself.
To attain union is so impossibly difficult because it is impossible
to become what you already are! "

I think my real problem is that I am at complete loggerheads with the Universal "I". I spent my life making peace with God only to find that I have a terrible relationship with "I". There is more work for me to do.

It's interesting that you should propose such a possibility.

In Dr. Michael Newton's book, "Journey of Souls", those who recall the in-between period between lives during hypnotic regression have stated something similar. Reportedly, there were creators-in-training and Newton suggests that particular worlds may be the creation of not-so-perfect creators-in-training very much along the dream-line concept that you have suggested.

I am definitely not ruling out that possibility.

However, as I have said before, I also question whether everything written in traditional scriptures is really pure inspiration.

Love Dr. Newton -have his books, have listened to youtubes, so good.

I have no question myself about scripture not all being inspired.
So many made up stories from such a limited perspectives...as I have said often
these people didn't even know where the sun went when it disappeared.
But, they knew
God was mad and punishing them and that slitting the throat of a sweet lamb would appease Him?
Uh-huh, right.

Where are the Volcanoes so we can toss the virgins in? Same thing. Coo-coo!

No never have I wondered if God was unwell.
