God knows the future?

[green1]

Hello forum,

God knows the future or only the present moment?

Thanks!

[green1]

IMHO, God knows the future if it can be known by God, for example if it is seen in our subconscious.

I think this is a tough one to talk about since many of us have experienced
a 'place' where there is no time.
This should be interesting. :)

Try to realize it's all within yourself
And life flows on within you and without you

The answer to your question green1, is OHMM.

Yes, it is all within yourself; there is no past, no present, or future, when we speak of God. In my experience there is only an eternal now and if you go deep enough into the now you might witness the converge of past, present, and future as one. The eternal now is this present moment, which is constant and not bound by time.

In my opinion, that which I call “God” is beyond time and space yet occupies all space and every moment in time. Here on Earth we count the moments but when the oneness of being is perceived there is only the stillness of one eternal constant moment.

This is my experience. It is only the human mind which takes us into past memories, present moments, and future desires. The rest of it is but the transformation of transitions, transitions which we call “growth” taking place over what we call “time.” But to answer your question; the God I have come to know is all knowing.

Peace and Good Journey to You

green1, the wisdom-knowledge answer is that, is this:

Past, present and future
exist as one,
have always existed as one,
and will exist as one
for all eternity.
Everything that existed,
everything that exists,
and everything that will exist,
already exists within the All.
The All contains the All.
The All lacks nothing
because it is Everything.

Baile, I can definitely relate to Lucy. As Taoism teaches "nothing in the universe is what we call it here on Earth."

"Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone. Lucy in the sky with diamonds"

Love it!
I reckon they must have been “high as a kite” when they wrote that one. Ha ha

Exactly. Yet let’s take it forward from a place where there is neither space nor time. So, from the noumena, God or universal consciousness creates space, time and phenomena, the manifest universe. Since God alone is the only true substance, as Swami Yukteswar Giri has affirmed in his epic book, ‘The Holy Science’, all entities (us) are individuated aspects of God, immersed in duality, an offering not available in singularity.

Alright. So, in the possible futures within the creation, I’d say there should be an element of uncertainty, of surprise, otherwise what’s the point of it all? However, the learning entities go through, requiring gentling of their responses to what unfolds is dependent upon frequencies to which they resonate. So, we have different behaviour from Mother Teresa vs Hitler, for example.

Now, with time being relative, that is to say, one second in a higher realm may translate to several thousand years of earth time, in fact time totally disappearing in absoluteness, realistically we can only look at linear earth time, since we are here now. So, it would appear that possible futures are known upon looking at frequencies at which we resonate but the exact outcome is open ended.
