The current

Post Reply New Topic

I remember reading once someone said something about the current that runs through all living things in a post about the definition of God or something?

I think they said the electricity I'm not sure.

Anyway, I'm 300% interested in this at the moment. So if anyone knows anything that might have any relation to this I'll very much appreciate it.

I'm actually desperate for knowledge of this because it's consuming my thinking all the time for the last 2 weeks and if I don't I'll blow it all out of proportion and become delusional.

No offense, but have you been watching too much Star Wars lately?

No - dammit man I want real replies.

...it's a god concept, yeah, sometimes it's thought of as breath or life force or uhm jism or I guess, electricity. Hope you hear from the author.

Captain_Brain: Do you know anything about Reiki?

PS Like the new avatar. I gotta do something like that.

Isn't it call Pantheism?

nope. could be chi (qi), or animism, or the god/goddess force, or the vital spark, or the divine spark, or interconnectedness... depends on what flavour of "spirituality" or belief system you feel most fits you. could be bog standard ol' DNA, of course.

pantheism is the belief/acceptance of a variety of gods/goddesses, rather than the monotheism of judaism, islam and christianity.

Actually that would be polytheism, pantheism is the belief that all is god. I would not call the concept of Qi pantheism, though most religions that include Qi are pantheistic.

Sounds similar to me though...

"Pantheism is a metaphysical and religious position. Broadly defined it is the view that (1) "God is everything and everything is God ... the world is either identical with God or in some way a self-expression of his nature" (Owen 1971: 74). "‘Pantheism’ ... signifies the belief that every existing entity is, only one Being; and that all other forms of reality are either modes (or appearances) of it or identical with it."

Yes it is similar and it is a somewhat blurry line, which is why I said "I would not call" and not "It is not".

stay with it Captain and you'll get there.

'When someone comes to me walking I run to them' - God

whoops - you're right, and i was obviously slightly too "refreshed" last night when i posted

/me rushes off to find spirituality OUTSIDE of a glass of wine...

-Fiddler, I knew very little about Reiki until I just googled the definition.
-What do you know about Reiki?

-To further my thoughts:

-I've been trying to "send my awareness throughout my body" using this audio tape by Bruno Canyon. It's sort of a meditation exercies I guess which he calls "Equanimity".

-One of the only times that I've completed the exercise without falling asleep or being distracted, I felt this current in my body going so fast throughout my whole body. He actually mentions that you can feel a subtle current.

-Except mine wasn't subtle. It was so strong, almost violent - to the point that I was sick almost.

Captain_Brain, I'm willing to give you an answer but could you wait till monday? I'm in a rush and I won't be at home this week-end.
