Stanley Krippner replied to atypican's discussion Before it was religion, what was it?

"In my opinion, before religion there was shamanism. And shamanism is a technology, not an organized religion. Before shamanic practitioners emerged, each clan or family had its own shamanic practice according to Morris Berman in his wonderful book…"

May both of us salute GOD--that which is around and in and through all that IS.

Note that I use of the 0 (zero) when I write about god, in me. When I think of god, in the All that IS, I use O. Nameste.

By the way, recently I talked about this way of communicating the concept of god with an imam--a Muslim cleric, who I heard give a lecture to a group of Christians interested in understanding Islam. He teaches a course in comparative religion at a university near Toronto.

I was very pleased when he said: "May I use your idea in my lectures? I like what it communicates--of course I will give you credit."

Of course I told him: Go right ahead! Feel free to do so. Give all the credit to G0d GOD!--whoever he, or she is." Both of us had a good laugh.

At 6:40pm on August 19, 2009, RevLGKing said…: Stanley, this thought just came to me today: G0D and GOD.

Take note of the zero, 0, in the first acronym. Or, to be more specific, instead of 0, I could use, Ø--the null.

G0D in the microcosm
=================
In the first acronym I have in mind G0D as the no-thing from which all things come--creatio ex nihilo, the creation out of nothing as understood by theist theologians.

GOD in the macrocosm
==================
In the second acronym, GOD, I use the O to indicate the the totality, the wholeness, of being, towards which all things, with our creative help, are processing. Check out the work of the philosopher and mathematician, Alfred North Whitehead:
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/whitehead/

BTW, have you heard of what Seth Lloyd, at MIT is doing? His latest book is about PROGRAMMING THE COSMOS.
http://www.randomhouse.com/kvpa/lloyd/
It looks like that--if we are wise enough to grasp the concept--we are partners with G0D/GOD.

At 10:01pm on July 6, 2009, RevLGKing said…: REDEFINING THE DIVINE

As I understand it, this forum is about REDIFINING GOD. One participant asks:"One question in my mind is, does god also exist apart from, or transcendent from, the natural universe?" I ask: Why do we not use a very special word to express a very unique concept?

WITHOUT JUDGMENT

Keep in mind that I respect all sincerely held beliefs about the god hypothesis. The following is strictly my opinion. I offer it without any intention of being doctrinaire. I simply want to get away from thinking in terms of an objective being--masculine, or feminine--occupying space and time.

Therefore, rather than use the noun, 'God'--found and defined in our dictionaries--I prefer to use the acronym, GOD, which stands for all Goodness, all Order and all Desirable Design. Or I could use G0D. Note the '0', zero, not 'O'. Sometimes, when writing within the context of science, I like to use the acronym, GØD. The mathematical symbol, Ø, null, stands for the set without numbers. I assume it stands for that which is infinitely small and/or infinitely large.

G0D is that which is without borders, without dimensions, and, as the great inventor, Nicola Tesla, put it, "without properties". G0D, the no thing is the source of all things.

Check out John 4: 7-30--the story of Jesus and the Samaritan Woman. Here Jesus defines God as "Spirit", not 'a' spirit. The Greek for Spirit is 'pneuma'--which literally means air, wind, breath. In Jesus day air was a thing of great mystery, not unlike what we have in mind, today, when we think about the vacuum of infinite space into which the universe is expanding.

GOD IS SPIRIT

In John 3--the story of Nicodemus--Jesus equates 'pneuma' (Spirit) with coming to conscious awareness of self--being born again, enlightened, raised to consciousness, inspired. As a GOD-filled person himself (Son of GOD) he called all, male and female, willing to listen, to be at one with him. See John 17:20-25.
