I'm laughing to myself because I thought about doing a blog with the focus, and question being "does God really exist, what if isn't real and it's all an illusion?"; and here you are writing this blog.

I thought it would have been an interesting view point although I'm a believer myself, I know there are so many who don't believe he's real.

Perhaps we're really like those people in the Matrix where our lives are an illusion and we're really hooked up on a big giant mother of a machine matrix, sleeping fitfully while dreaming our reality.

Who knows. I'm not trying to be scarcastic, don't take my comment the wrong way ok. As I a child I always thought of the concept that there really wasn't a blue sky when we look up, there were big giant aliens manipulating our moves, our very lives but we can't see them, and the sky that we see is what we do so that we aren't scared witless!

The book has an interesting concept. Many Christians will probably think of it as blasphemy and not go near it, or the zealots will read it just to refute its' statements or the nonbelievers will read it and agree to everything thinking that they were always right.

Wohh you just blew my mind.

So if this is true then I actually created you to tell me something that just blew my mind, yet I actually must have actually known the truth at some deep level otherwise when building the universe I would not have been able to give the information in the first place.

I love these kind of ideas that broaden the mind.
We should never rule anything out!

”Wake up. You’re dreaming” - God

That’s interesting, Gen 2.21 says, “So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep”, but there’s no reference to him waking up.

I'm laughing to myself because I thought about doing a blog with the focus, and question being "does God really exist, what if isn't real and it's all an illusion?"; and here you are writing this blog.

Brhat’s article is committing itself to theism, rather that implying that God doesn’t exist.

Perhaps we're really like those people in the Matrix where our lives are an illusion

That’s bang on Truth, in my view. Heaven is the real world, the Eternal - the Spirit World - and this physical realm is a temporary illusion. The difference between our situation and the situation portrayed in the movie ‘the Matrix’, is that the ultimate nature of reality is actually love and goodness. When we die, we literally "wake up" to Truth.

Would God, who is universally believed to be Loving, be responsible for all the terrible things that happen here?

No. We are responsible. When Adam and Eve chose to eat the fruit from the knowledge of good and evil, they were booted out of Eden to do exactly that. In Eden we could only taste the fruits of good, and there was no such duality like good / evil or joy / pain that we could experience. It was our call.

Well, this blog didn't exactly blow my mind, as the questions it asks are hardly new. But they are valid questions, and asking them is part of the faith journey. I'll leave it to others to answer them as best they can. I'm interested in seeing how the thread progresses.

I do have to commend you on your writing style, though. You write well.

Reply to Andy- Even when we die (our physical body), we don't really "wake up" to Truth-We do in the sense that we figure out that "Life" was really just a "test" or challenge of sorts for our soul's advancement toward Perfection (Or, God). But the whole concept of "perfecting ourselves", reincarnation and the Spirit world is part of the illusion also. We, being God, are already perfect. We ARE God. (Meaning Total Oneness WITH God (What ever THAT feels like. We can't really understand with our level of awareness. It sounds a little creepy to mepersonally) We don't need to make ourselves suffer to reach HIM. The sufferring we subject ourselves to is all to 'atone' for our fear and guilt over believeing we actually seperated from GOD, which we did NOT. Eve, though she did choose to eat the apple and become an icon of suffering in time and space- is wholly innocent because what happens in a dream STAYS in a dream!

How the dream got SO Incredibly complex is explained in the book, "The Disappearance of The Universe" by Gary Renard. Click on the link below and it'll take you straight to Ebay's page so you can buy it for cheap. It is the most important book you'll ever read.

That’s a fantastic summary of life’s purpose, in my opinion. I completely agree with that, brHat.

Even when we die (our physical body), we don't really "wake up" to Truth

I believe that after death we wake up in the sense that we get a better perspective of reality, and we acquire a greater understanding of our place in the bigger picture and of the purpose of life. Anyone who believes that this physical realm is the be all and end all, that all is death and finality, is caught up in the illusion. They are fast asleep, spiritually speaking.

The sufferring we subject ourselves to is all to 'atone' for our fear and guilt over believeing we actually seperated from GOD

I believe that suffering is a necessary part of our spiritual growth as it promotes the accumulation of wisdom and develops greater spiritual muscle. If all we ever knew was goodness, security, and peace – as Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden - then our spiritual growth would flat-line somewhat, and we also wouldn’t fully appreciate the goodness and peace of our Eternal abode. After all, “goodness” and “peace” are relative terms, and only makes sense once we know “badness” and “evil”. Until Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they couldn’t acquire the full scope of wisdom and comprehend the meaning of good and evil. It wasn’t God’s choice for us to experience evil, it was ours, and once we had made that choice - the Original Sin - God drove Adam and Eve out of Paradise to taste such fruits.

"The Disappearance of The Universe" by Gary Renard … is the most important book you'll ever read

I’ll have to buy that book. There’s plenty of enlightening books out there, mostly written by psychics. Psychics have acquired an expansion of consciousness which enables them to see, or comprehend, higher Truths of reality. Our world religions have already disclosed the Truth, in their own way, and I believe we need to put the different revelations together, a bit like jigsaw pieces - ranging from East to West - to comprehend the full picture.

from East to West - to comprehend the full picture

All gods lead to one god. It is the faith, the actions, the spirituality and growth that count.

life is a test ? do you really think so ?
if everything that there is IS GOD ! and this world is the illusion ..a dream.. created by god ! it is not human who is dreaming.. its god who is dreaming this reality.. and if GOD (who is true self ..the only one ) realizez it.. all becomes you (GOD) and you (human) understand that everything around you including yourself is the ultimate you (GOD) ! and human (the body you are in) is nothing compared to your tru self (GOD) .human is just a little flash that will go away in a little while.. just a body.. animal.. but once u realize that.. u r not an animal anymore.. you are a BEING !!! you are god ! there is no fear no guilt no good no evil.. because its all YOU !!!!!
and its all a game !! if theres nothing but GOD.. it must be very boring and lonely ! so GOD (you) plays this game.. thats all there is.. and life is nothing but a game.. so all tests are POINTLES !! even if its for the advancement of your own human's soul... because it is also a part of the dream !!!

enjoy your life and dont hurt others because it is you who you are hurting !!

at least thats what i think and experienced


i understand that it doesnt make sense for some people.. but if u experienced your true self you know exactly what this all means..
for the rest of you try to understand that theres no duality.. all creation is ONE ! and one is YOU!!! and your human body/mind(ego) is just a temporary object..like everything else in this world.. it will die one day but YOU(GOD) will remain forever
close your eyes.. dont think.. do u have that feeling of SELF ?? its GOD

The opposite of ONE is Two

Ummm, no. Actually the logical opposite of one is many or none depending on how you wish to observe it.

what is Total Truth does not have an opposite

The opposite of total truth would be total untruth.

The opposite of Love is Fear.

No, the opposite of love is hate.

I could go on pointing out the fallacies in this article, but I won't. This sort of "pop religion" is nothing new. It's basically a deism/buddhism combination that's been done before.

I am not saying it's wrong because none of us can really know for sure, but it's nothing new and the way it's presented here is chock full of errors and specious argument.

The opposite of ONE is Two Ummm, no. Actually the logical opposite of one is many or none depending on how you wish to observe it.

Actually, you're both wrong. The opposite of one is, quite definitely, zero (can't tell I'm taking computer classes, can you? LOL)

Hmm...so we control what this world is and what happens...hmm, ok...come on double decker bus full of nymphomaniac cheerleaders!....hmm, nothing yet..well, I'm going to keep trying.
