A Paradigm of Consciousness

The totality of our individual perspective is singular. Our perception of reality is viewed through this perspective, and because of it, many view-points exist in the world. This applies to religion, as well. There are many religions created by humanity and they share as many commonalities as they do differences. What divides religion is semantics and the people within the religions that over identify with thought as reality. That is to say, that religion, in and of itself, is not bad or wrong. In fact, religion may point to truth, and yet until we learn to go within, truth will be expressed poorly outside of ourselves. We will mirror the truth of others, until we learn to find the truth within.

Humanity has conceptualized divinity as constant and true, yet it is an ideation that cycles through time and adapts to new cultures and ages. Divinity is considered either masculine or feminine depending on the person that views it and all writings about it derive from humanity, whether it is said that it is the inspired word of God, or some other idea that allows the zealous to believe in it as truth. In essence, it could be argued that humanity creates our understanding of divinity.

Nobody may accurately dictate divinity to any other. To do so would be to impose one individual perspective on another, which negates the self will of the other's ability to find the spark of truth within. Even if we agree what divinity is, perception will slant our understanding of it. Just as we are told that red is red when we are young and so we all agree that red is a name we give it so that we may communicate, yet when viewing it, every eye and mind will see it from a different perspective. Perspective skews individual reality and therefore divinity.

Truth is relative, simply because every aspect of the Universe exists to experience itself. The Universe, as science is slowly beginning to theorize and understand, is conscious. We are each a macrocosm of the Universe. A small logos that exists to feed back information into the Universe and with this the Universe grows in consciousness and learns. Every heavenly body, every human, and other being that may exist in the Universe, every animal, bird, fish, insect, tree, bush and plant, and every microscopic element within the Universe exists as a spectrum of consciousness creating a feedback loop into the Universe. Therefore, perspective is necessary to the over-all puzzle of existence that is reality. Reality exists because we are complex thought forms in the mind of God, and God, or the Universe, has given us the ability to perceive a speck of the entirety of its existence through our individual perspectives.

To give the Universe a form defined by us and call it one thing or another is to limit it within the confines of our minds, yet our minds are finite and we cannot fully, or even come close to grasping, the infinity of the Universe. We may only understand it in part. Just as an individual cell cannot fully grasp the entirety of the body, as it is delegated to one function within it.

Because we exist within the Universe and the Universe exists to know itself, there is room for all thoughts, beliefs, and understandings within it. This is a journey on the path to enlightenment. That is, that as we move from one form of consciousness to another, we grow and expand and the Universe expands with us. There is nothing wrong and nothing right in our experience. There is only experience.
