My question for the OSR community:
I am an image of God -- we are created in the image of God --Accordingly, the essential question is not how to "redefine God" a masturbatory pastime that leads to war and such but "how do I define 'the image of God'?" Who am I?

Karen Armstrong. I have some of her books, including History of God. I met here, in Toronto several years ago.

I can't remember, does she give a definition of 'god'? Where does she give it?

db asked other in the community to welcome you.

You are very Welcome!

I had to laugh when I read: "redefine God" a masturbatory pastime that leads to war and such

Hopefully, we will get past that to a heart-felt connection with the Spirit among us.

I look forward to you (and Denita) keeping us guys clear on what is really important. (Love not War).

God is all we are all apart of the all as we are the all ourselves(without the All we would not exist and without us the All would not exist). We are Adam(Man). The reason we live in this dying world is we obtained knowledge and knowledge is what killed the world. Knowledge is what makes us question God. Why does God not show himself. He already did and we killed him. metaphorically atleast(Jesus was God on earth) The anti-christ is the son of man, another metaphore, creation of man just as man is a creation of God, or son of... So looking how man is advancing how would we create a creation, using knowledge of course. Son meaning something in our image. AI artificial intelligents, the beast. with this technology almost anything will be possible, including eternal life here on earth this world is not our home. This is the essecnce of what the bible teaches. BIBLE Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

Very interested in reading your response and your ideas.

Sister, most of the time email is better for me due to my son's presence - cannot concentrate well on phone - and I don't really like talking on phone much. Hard for me to sit still very long. It would be possible when my son's not here. We could make an appointment to chat. Letters fine too although the dialogue slows, handwriting can be more expressive. You're welcome to email me first. Go to my website www.denitabenyshek.weebly.com - next to last page w/ "Prayer" has my email at end. Email me, then I'll send you more contact info.
There is a limit to the social networking - it doesn't make for intimate, in depth conversation. Too much criticism, goofiness, judgment, and intrusion. So, I'm honored by your desire to connect. Look forward to more contact.

Nonetheless, your fork comment prevented me from being the lone fed up female. And I'm grateful for that.

Blessings and love, Denita

Dear Quintessence, thank you for jumping onto the cerebral plane being maintained by the Royal Guys at "Commence w/ the Redefining Already." I've been the only woman involved, attempting to show them how masculine their images of god are, the limitations in reading for enlightenment, etc. without any support. So, of course, I've been marginalized as disliking the guys, being a feminist, and so on, when I'm only tryin' to expand their view, including discussion of emotions, bodily states, and so on. Bless you for jumping into the fray! Denita

Absolutely have to agree with db that daily multiple orgasms would end war, eliminate social strife and resolve a host of other personal & planetary issues. db raises valid concern regarding "Kundalini chaos" -- my term for the insanity and discomfort that excessive/misdirected stimulation of kundalini energy -- celebrity examples: Eliot Spitzer, Brittany Spears and Bill Clinton. New social and personal challenges would of course arise: extended ecstatic states, particularly kundalini awakening/stimulation affect us as much as hallucinatory drugs (see: Psychedelic Drugs and the Awakening of Kundalini by Donald J. DeGracia, Ph.D. at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/dondeg/ ). Not necessarily a bad thing (see http://www.hedweb.com/ for discussion of the Hedonistic Imperative hypothesis), but it would require major lifestyle/social adjustments.

Masturbation solo or en masse (appropo to RG in its entirety IMHO) on the mental plane is fun and supposedly harmless in moderation. The seduction of the mindgasm -- especially when amplified via groupthink -- is as slippery and enticing as an ardent lover's thighs. However well-intentioned, devoting more than occasional attention to pondering the abstract and arcane easily rips one's life away and diverts conscious awareness/life force from one's family, friends, and other pursuits. self and a virtual circle jerk, particularly on a lofty subject (e.g. RG) is legal, free and feels safer than the "real"/physical thing but ultimately hobbles our growth on all levels. Compulsive navel-gazing, and auditory self-stimulation (i.e. enjoy hearing the sound of your own voice and/or logorrhea -- and addiction to mindgasms at the expense of authentic experiences on the physical and emotional plain, which make us feel more vulnerable than the safety of our mindcastles.

My answer to his inquiries is Tantra -- sexual meditation and ritual. "Tantra is that Asian body of beliefs and practices which, working from the principle that the universe we experience is nothing other than the concrete manifestation of the divine energy of the Godhead that creates and maintains that universe, seeks to ritually appropriate and channel that energy, within the human microcosm, in creative and emancipatory ways" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantra

Every day, I meditate, pray, visualize/manifest and, most importantly for my work as a vibrational healer/tantric massage/medicine (wo)man have as much fun -- physically, emotionally, mentally & spiritually as possible to hold the vibration of joy so that I may entrain my clients to an ecstatic and enlightened state of being, if only for a little while. I am a priestess -- a conduit/channel of the Divine Feminine aspect of God -- experienced emotionally, mentally and spiritually as unconditional love/unity/bliss, and physically as sacred orgasm (btw -- sacred/multidimensional orgasm occurs independently of physical phenomena like erection, ejaculation or even physical contact in some instances.

My home is my sacred space and a temple/portal to Divine ease, grace and joy -- and keeping the love/joy energy amped up requires daily practice of tantra (sensual/sexual meditation and ritual for the sublimation of sexual energy), Kundalini yoga, meditation, and purification rituals. Frequent showers or smudging with crystals/incense are absolutely essential to cleanse the aura field -- especially after healing sessions with difficult/obstinate clients) and prayer to creatively and constructively channel the intense energy flow that I tap into, lest I unconsciously direct that raw creation power sloppily or negatively. I'll consider whether/how to share some of my journeys in consciousness via tantra in a separate post.

Namaste -- Quintessence

@davidbgoode People don't rely on definition to believe in a God, they rely on belief. OSR promotes exploration and clarity of beliefs.

As interesting as the idea of Open Source Religion is, why? If God can be defined by us, why have one at all? http://t.co/AE0FCIwJAa
