The "I reckon..." thread

I reckon that just as electricity was around for millennia, waiting to be discovered, there's this substance in the universe that, without a discernible central nervous system, still has a consciousness. We're rigged up to it, like a grid, and when we die our spirit-consciousness departs our nervous systems and joins this big cosmic blob. One day scientists will invent glasses like those 3-D classes you get in the cinema, and you'll be able to see your departed auntie Gladys pulsating in psychedelic hues of radiant heliotrope, in communion with the Godhead.

That's my "I reckon..." for the day. What's yours?

    But I also reckon this substance is at the moment indetectable because it's not constituted of the usual elements. Which leads to the possibility that it was around before the big bang. It could be everywhere, such as in black holes or places nothing else would survive. That means it could be God. :D

    I reckon that there is no God as a creator-entity but if there was, I could take him in a fight. And I would certainly try, because if he built all this and is responsible for it, he's an asshole and, though he might smite me, by lucifer I'd die a martyr.

    Right now, this cosmic blob is whoopin' your spiritual arse for not realising the holy order and reason in all this apparently random war, rape, murder, pillage, and lager. :D

    I just had another thought. This blob is waiting for you to discover it. It's nothing to do with the Christian god. It might be one being, it might be infinite consciousness. I reckon there are daffodils and brussel sprouts who could explain this notion of infinite consciousness better than I could.

    I reckon you're all wrong.

    But FFS, don't take my word for it:

    I like your idea. Like I said, I don't believe in a God as a creator or entity, an interventionist God if you will. The blob is closer to what I could accept.

    Although I prefer to think of a higher "energy"... mainly because Taoism >>>> Christianity, Islam, Judaism etc

    I reckon people can severely underestimate the variety in Christian thought and belief, including about the modernist idea of a 'controlling' God; what do we mean by 'control'?

    Yep, this is an energy. Once you tap into it, you could, with enough force, stop natural disasters, alter the orbits of celestial bodies, and change the channel on your telly without a remote.

    Mark... it is going to be impossible to keep thread integrity from going down the shitter with this one :p

    Actually... this thread is about opinions! it can never be derailed!!! :eek:

    ahem. I didn't say a controlling God, though I feel that people are controlled by their notion of God. I just find religion irrelevant. I have no problem whatsoever with belief in a god. I might find that I believe one day. I just don't see the need for organising faith into structures which are harmful to society. I say I can imagine a day when I might, as much as it shocks me to say it, believe in a higher being. The day may never come when I will be a christian, muslim, jew or member of any other religion other than my own.

    This thread is part of the divine everythingness of our unembarked train journey of superconsciousness. It cannot be derailed, for to limit its topic matter would be to deny its all encompassingness. Thus reckoned Zarawotsit.

    The genius of this thread: if you put 'I reckon' in front of it, it's safe... :cool:

    SO.... I reckon that I'm a Christian, though hate organised religion and I think we've made a total shambles of what Jesus was talking about, missed it entirely. And I believe in a creator God, but not in the notion of God as a cosmic chess-player, clock-maker or architect. These are all post-Enlightenment, modernist, industrial-revolution metaphors for God which are no longer relevant. In short, I subscribe to open Theism or 'the openness of God theory'.

    You got that right. It's the perfect thread.

    Here's a new one. I reckon that Paul McCartney is the only person in the world who actually DOES deserve Heather Mills. They worked out that her pay-off was the equivalent of something like £600 for every hour she was married to McCartney. Sounds to me like she was ripped-off.

    I reckon (actually, it was a friend who brought this up) that it's time to create a new account here, as continuing to post on this forum has given back to my ex what I originally took away by blocking her from my blog.
