Almighty God as I perceive him to be?

Alan McDougall · May 24, 2017

I am not trying to add to Biblical Scripture but as a profound thinker I would like to give this somewhat unorthodox personal view of Almighty God.

I think I can fit my essay on the God of my Perception or Understanding.

AUTHOR ALAN MCDOUGALL

Existence -was -Existence-is -Existence-will be forever.

IT IS THE ETERNAL THINKER.

Within that Timeless zone, before existence came to be , a pool of infinite pure consciousness held within him all the hopes, dreams, for creating new creation out of the chaos of the previous.

Within these new realms of existence and reality immense waves of pure spiritual thought gradually combined from the Mighty mind of the primordial sentient consciousness .

It knew itself and said, "What am I"?

Then it said

I AM WHO I SAY I AM

I AM INFINITE

I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA

I AM THE BEGINNING AND THE END

I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST

I AM MYSTERY AND INSCRUTABLE

I AM ALL-KNOWING

I AM ALL-POWERFUL

I AM EVERYWHERE

I AM TIME

I AM THE ONLY INFINITE ONE

I AM TRUTH

I AM LIFE

I AM LOVE

I AM LIGHT

God experienced time only in his dreams and the cup of my dreams ran over as do rivers that overflow their banks. I dreamed infinity of dreams in the first instant, and infinity multiplied by infinity in the timeless zone I thought of creating all possibilities in one awesome now.

He awoke and thought the first thoughts within infinitely primordial mind. Out of the realm of previous chaos, I began to recreate outside the absolute realm and started the first realities based on new planes realms dimensions and textures.

I had drifted eternally in and out of awareness and within the mind flux of pure energy. I tossed out the foams creating all the singularities, started the flow of time and withdrew into Self outside time or space and sustained my creation as a static force of infinite power.

I am Spirit as I twisted in an agony of birth, boiling dissolving reforming writhing and vibrating before existence or creation were reborn out of the thoughts programs of my mind.

I set up new realities and began to organize myself into a Mighty Being of thought and infinite intelligence.

I God looked outward and inward into the infinite vast dark void and knew I was alone and became filled with dreadful loneliness.

Now aware of the infinite potential of the vast unploughed fields of dark nothing, I God strode with great beams of Radiant Light toward the infinite horizons of eternity, sowing seeds of existence, before the timeless moment of creation.

Back before anything was conceived , I am God The Infinite pure "Mind" and "Thought" there is no dark only Light within my infinite domain, so I moved upon the great void of dark and said "let there be" Light' and there was Light. From the Light came Love and life.

I grew out of nothing by my own will before anything else existed and with the mobilities of my original thoughts spoke out and created all that ever was, all that is, and all that will ever be.

Before I could create I who am everything, had to withdraw of myself to open up a void in which to place the universe I was about to grow out of the thought seeds resting in my mind, waiting for planting.

On the panorama of bleak darkness, I sewed seeds of universal radiant energy. The reality is the gem of my creation and the beauty of my achievement. I am it who lives, forever and forever.

It has I who illuminated the everlasting darkness of the primordial void, with beams of dazzling Light in living and translucent glory to share it with those who Love me.

At the moment of the thundering dawn of creating existence, I sent out the primordial heat to Light up the universe for the seeds of life to be planted within them. I waited and watched as my creation grew and expanded and it filled my Being with joy and satisfaction and I knew my workmanship was good.

I walked down the road of forever and sat down on the throne of infinity. I am the Light Being and my everlasting purpose is to create and cause existence, I am both nothing and everything I am the Light that dispels the dark.

With infinite power and intellect I the unnamed- Ever- Existing- One, looked out at a new empty infinite dark void.

I am Infinite and Endless I create something with the potential to become like myself.

Therefore, I separated into an infinity of fundamental fragments yet remained connected to my created Beings as the Great Creator and Father Spirit.

I set up polarities separating, the sons of Light and the sons of dark and permitted malice to exist between the forces of good and the forces of evil.

I decided to separate existence into dualities and I withdrew myself into the everlasting Light and banished the rebellious- one into everlasting darkness. In this way, all sentient Beings could freely choose in which duality to exist.

Opposing forces split the abyss, as Light blazed to banish the dark and the dark flowed as thick darkness to blot out the Light forever.

There was no cause to my existence I having no Cause I am therefore both the effect and affect that sustains and shapes of all things that exist.

My acts of creation are cyclic events and my purpose and reason for my existence. I formulate everything in the thoughts of my Mind and knew the first numbers.

With the simplicities and realities of the fundamentals, I made everything. I am the Prime Mover and there was no other proponent to my "first cause". I am the "Immovable rock" and the" Alpha point".

I took these first fundamentals and weaved them into the fabric of the reality, creating the limitless universe on the infinite timeless foam where before there was but nothing.

I AM He who created you!

You exist because I exist!

We sang together the song of creation and the new universe began to vibrate with countless frequencies of Light, glory translucent and everlasting with the vibrations of the song of existence.

I AM THE THINKER AND THE THOUGHT

I AM THE SINGER AND THE SONG

I AM THE PAINTER AND THE PAINTING,

I AM THE CREATOR AND THE CREATION.

The universe then began to weave, dance, and vibrate flux and vortex into one colossal vortex, spiral in perfect order from the mind of the eternal one

THE UNIVERSE DANCED AND SANG WITH JOY.

I DANCE THE DANCE OF A NEW CREATION

I SANG THE A NEW CREATION.

I AM LIFE.

I AM TRUTH

I AM LIGHT.

I AM EMOTION.

I AM LOVE.

I have several problems with your essay from what I know of God, and if I have these problems I am sure He has as well. I appreciate your effort, and don't want to be critical of you, but only helpful in pointing out a few things. Again I appreciate your effort, but you are trying to make a graven image in the mind with words. God tells us not to make graven images and bow down to them. I understand you are not trying to do this, but help us understand God better, or to sharpen our focus upon Him. Thank you. I don't think God would say "I am time." Do you have a verse for this? God never sleeps or awakes, so God never "dreams" (creative license/poetical writing could be your use of that word.). Try not to overuse the word "primordial". "Twisting in agony of birth" speaks of being hard, where I don't think the omnipotent God found it hard to create everything. "I had drifted eternally in and out of awareness and within the mind flux of pure energy." Doesn't sound like the true God. "started the flow of time and withdrew into Self outside time or space and sustained my creation as a static force of infinite power." You should rethink this one. God, filled with "dreadful loneliness."? Never happened among the "perfect" Trinity. "From the Light came Love and life." Better explain that as coming from God so people understand the Light as being God. "I grew out of nothing .." God has always been perfect and didn't have to grow at all, except for Jesus in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:52). "It has I who" ...typo "has" should be "was". "I am both nothing and everything " "Nothing?" I don't think so, except for in the mind of the atheist I suppose. "My acts of creation are cyclic events and my purpose and reason for my existence." "Reason" is not the appropriate word here. "I AM THE CREATOR AND THE CREATION" I can almost see this in a poetical sense, but man has erroneously worshipped the creation rather than the Creator, Romans 1:25. This is not an exhaustive critique, though I may have exhausted you. Didn't mean too. Just submitting this response for your consideration. Wishing you well.

Alan McDougall · May 24, 2017

Greg if you read the tile of my thread you should not that I said God as I perceive Him, not how exactly he is or all of His attributives. If was strictly a work of my information. Almighty God gave me a brain to think with and an intellect I am a poet and that is what drives me to write in the manner I do.
You then go on and tell me what God is and what he is not doing exactly the same thing you accuse me of!

I didn't mean offense. I go by the Bible, and was kindly pointing out that what you wrote does not jive with the Bible, so you are misrepresenting God. I didn't think you would want to do that. Anyone can make up what they would like God to be. That is called "idolatry." Wishing you well.

Na, that's a waste, by the looks of it at a glance the OP is posting an Asian culture view of their god or gods like Buda or some others I think, don't know or care. one of the religions in the far east involves the concept of a eternal mind of sorts which is existance. so, there's your sign that its deliberate hooey.

"Would have been a cool post if you just said this is what God is according to scripture."
"Because it would allow for discussion on each point."
Above are responses to my first response, which would be interesting if I had done what is suggest above. What is the first point you would like to discuss?

skyangel · Jun 3, 2017

Alan, your statements are in blue and my responses are in black.

Existence -was -Existence-is -Existence-will be forever.
In my mind "God" is merely a personification of existence itself, much in the same way as "Mother Nature" is a personification of nature.
The character is mythical but the physical attributes which the character represents are very real.

IT IS THE ETERNAL THINKER.
Are you referring to existence as an eternal thinker?
In my opinion only the existing things which have the capacity to think can actually think and that does not seem to be all of existence itself since not all existing things have a brain which seems necessary in order to have any thoughts at all.

Within that Timeless zone, before existence came to be , a pool of infinite pure consciousness held within him all the hopes, dreams, for creating new creation out of the chaos of the previous.
Before existence came to be? How can there be a time before existence IF existence always WAS forever?
IF "God" is infinite existence, there can be no before of after existence in general in spite of the fact that individual existing things have a beginning and end.

God experienced time only in his dreams and the cup of my dreams ran over as do rivers that overflow their banks. I dreamed infinity of dreams in the first instant, and infinity multiplied by infinity in the timeless zone I thought of creating all possibilities in one awesome now.
IF "God" is time, how does time experience time in its dreams? I doubt that time itself dreams at all. It is only humans who personify things like time as "Father Time" and give it dreams in their human imaginations and daydreams.

I set up new realities and began to organize myself into a Mighty Being of thought and infinite intelligence.
It is mankind which has personified the forces of nature and made them a "God" or "gods" with infinite intelligence. It is mankind which has created "gods" in their own image and likeness and given those gods human and superhuman attributes.

Back before anything was conceived , I am God The Infinite pure "Mind" and "Thought" there is no dark only Light within my infinite domain, so I moved upon the great void of dark and said "let there be" Light' and there was Light. From the Light came Love and life.
Before anything was conceived by some "God" or before anything including gods was conceived by humans?
How can the Light move upon any "dark" when there is NO DARK but only light within an infinite domain? An infinite domain has no beginning or end and if all that you have is already Light, then darkness cannot exist.

On the panorama of bleak darkness, I sewed seeds of universal radiant energy. The reality is the gem of my creation and the beauty of my achievement. I am it who lives, forever and forever.
Since you previously stated there is NO DARK in the infinite domain, the concept of a "panorama of bleak darkness" makes no sense at all. I think all that light must have blinded your inner "eyes" and you imagine darkness where there is none.

It has I who illuminated the everlasting darkness of the primordial void, with beams of dazzling Light in living and translucent glory to share it with those who Love me.
Light tends to share itself with all existence regardless of whether that existence loves light or not.

At the moment of the thundering dawn of creating existence, I sent out the primordial heat to Light up the universe for the seeds of life to be planted within them. I waited and watched as my creation grew and expanded and it filled my Being with joy and satisfaction and I knew my workmanship was good.
In my own opinion, I doubt there was ever a "first" moment of "creating existence". Existence comes from existence and in the process of infinite regress, it is logical to conclude that existence in general has no beginning due to the regress being infinite. In an individual sense of existing things, the creation of existence has not stopped. It is a progressive process which keeps reproducing new existing things as the old pass away.

I walked down the road of forever and sat down on the throne of infinity. I am the Light Being and my everlasting purpose is to create and cause existence, I am both nothing and everything I am the Light that dispels the dark.
It seems to me that "dark" is an illusion created by light.

I set up polarities separating, the sons of Light and the sons of dark and permitted malice to exist between the forces of good and the forces of evil.
Good and evil are concepts and ideals created by humans. Nothing in nature except humans have such concepts. What one person considers to be good another could very well consider to be evil.

I decided to separate existence into dualities and I withdrew myself into the everlasting Light and banished the rebellious- one into everlasting darkness. In this way, all sentient Beings could freely choose in which duality to exist.
In physical reality all existing things exist in the duality of light/darkness where the light dispels the darkness at all times while at the same time also creating the illusion of darkness.

Opposing forces split the abyss, as Light blazed to banish the dark and the dark flowed as thick darkness to blot out the Light forever.
Darkness cannot blot out light since light always dispels darkness.

I took these first fundamentals and weaved them into the fabric of the reality, creating the limitless universe on the infinite timeless foam where before there was but nothing.
Since existence comes from existence, it is impossible that there ever "was but nothing"

I AM He who created you!
Our parents could say the same thing.

You exist because I exist!
We exist because the existing people before us reproduced us in their own image.

I AM THE CREATOR AND THE CREATION.
Creation does tend to create itself through its many reproductive processes.

Your essay is very imaginative.

Hello Greg, I personally doubt that "God" has any problems with what anyone thinks or writes but as you clearly point out, people have problems with what other people think and say, especially when they don't agree with each other. I find it amusing that many believers seem to think that when they have a problem with something that their "God" has the same problem with it.
As for making graven images with words... Don't you find it ironic that many churches have graven images of Jesus and dead people who they have immortalized as so called saints? Countless believers actually bow down and pray to those images when they pray to their "God" Others seem to portray "God" as a person called Jesus and actually believe that this character IS or WAS "God".
Since "God" is ALL and IN ALL according to Ephesians 4:6, "God" could be portrayed as anything at all and to portray "IT" or "Him" as one person is idolatry if the worship of one single man is idolatry.
I think it is very possible that "God" might say " I am time" In the same way "Father Time" would say " I am time"
The OP was not saying that God is only time but it is saying that to him God is everything that exists. Time is part of everything that exists just as Love is part of everything that exists. The beginning and end is part of time and the bible does say that God is the beginning and end, does it not?
