Wow, ya'll gettin deep! I loved all your responses and can't say I truly disagree with any of you. So what caught my attention was the title since I had a weird one myself today. My son came in the house several times today (bringing stuff in from outside) and every time he followed himself in again. This repeated three of four times, it was weird.
But then as sometimes happens the topic went sliding sideways. LOL. It happens. Seems God has been the most sought after individual since the dawning of time or man. I picture him grabbing hie tunic and high-stepping it through the tulips with a gaggle of humanity chasing him. AND it's all an illusion according to some.Soooo, what do I think?
I think God is Spirit and presides in the spirit world (not the woowoo one). I believe this spirit is a LIVING spirit, hence the reason it GIVES LIFE. Depending of course on your religion or private thoughts it is this Spirit that we all share (all of us, including minerals, animals, plants and other living things we haven't met yet) who share something in common. The other parts of that we are individually made of can and do comprise many things. However I do not believe for one second it is all an illusion. For if it is an illusion then I must ask myself, what is an illusion?
That living breathing spirit is what we all have in common.
Thanks Tides for a wonderful discussion.
