Divine Force of the Universe

[Matt]

Over the centuries, the human race has created many words to explain the Divine Force of the universe. Many use the word "God". Still others use words like Universal Mind, Tao, Yin, Logos and many others. Almost every religion and spiritual group uses some word to call out the Divine Force. On a more scientific level, we also have a word that describes this Divine Force… the Field (or Zero Point Field).

Regardless of religious or spiritual preferences, most people are seeking some form of higher wisdom, understanding, consciousness, intelligence and ultimately enlightenment. Words like "God" are used to call out the Divine Force or "Divine Vibration" that is mentioned in almost all religions. This "vibration" is within everything and sustains the entire universe. No matter what word sounds most appealing to you, the meaning is virtually the same across belief systems and fits into the more scientific term… the Field.

The Field, much like the "Divine Vibration", is a vast energy sea that connects everything in the universe including our minds. As explained in the book "The Field" by Lynne McTaggart, the Field is a unifying concept of the universe, one that reconciles mind with matter, classic Newtonian science with quantum physics and science with religion.

The Zero Point Field is described as microscopic vibrations in outer space as well as within and between physical objects on Earth and throughout the universe. This "cobweb of energy exchange" links everything in the universe including our minds.

Physicists have been aware of the Field for years. However, constrained by orthodoxy, they have ignored its effects which Lynne McTaggart likens to "subtracting out God" from their equations.

The concept or question that I pose to all of you is…

What if "God" (the Divine Force / Vibration that is innately felt by almost all of us on some level) is the sum of all universal consciousness connected through the Field?

I welcome and look forward to all concepts, theories and comments regarding this question.

I'm working with the idea that The Field is God or whatever term you wish to use. That consciousness and the field are one and the same. The implicate and explicate, the context and the content, different in that we percieve them differently but actually all of a oneness. Words now begin to fail me.

[Stephen Michael Dayton]

Time and distance are only limitations in a physical world conceived by the Mind or EGO of humanity. Thought transfer is instantaneous given that there is no physical form to a thought. Consciousness pervades that which is seen in the physical world and that which is only apparent to the inhabitants of that physical world.


The human mind is merely an instrument created from that which fuels it’s very existence ad infinitum. The human brain developed from the desire of Consciousness to manifest itself. Consciousness (God in human terminology) is all pervasive and timeless, beyond the human mind’s limitations. It is the human Ego which insists upon giving Consciousness a human identity in order to give it plausibility within it’s self induced limitations. The human mind perceives itself within the extents of that which it visually perceives with the tools developed in this physical form. It is unaware of that which it cannot see, but that doesn’t negate the existence of what is beyond the physical world. The human mind has actually proven this theory by developing tools which can enhance it’s sight and therefore it’s understanding of what is beyond it's visual perceptions.


As the tiny seed grows into the mighty oak, so too has the physical world grown into what the human mind can perceive and beyond. We must “see” beyond our physical limitations to “understand” and become “aware” of the enormity of Consciousness. It is not “us” bringing Consciousness within our self-induced limitations, it is “us” releasing those limitations and becoming ONE with all of Creation which will give us the means to “travel.” We are much more then this fleshy form. Humanity is just a grain of sand on the Shores of Eternity.

Thank you for your brilliant reply and insights!

What a good question. Have you read the books by Kyriacos C. Markides about the healer Daskalos? He speaks at length about a universal memory. Although all names are just labels we stick on the facts.

Here is a small example:

Here Daskalos is talking about prophecies to his students:

“Do keep in mind, he said, that we are talking about probabilities not certainties, and that karma, both individual and collective, can change at any moment. This is the essence of human freedom.”

Daskalos then reminded us of a case in the Old Testament that he had pointed out earlier, when Jonah prophesied that Nineveh was going to be destroyed by God because of the accumulated sins of its inhabitants. But the people of Nineveh repented and the city was spared. They changed their consciousness at the last moment and their city was not destroyed. It was not God, Daskalos said, that changed His mind. It was the people themselves who collectively changed their karma by changing their awareness. That was the reason Niveveh was not destroyed.

“But Jonah's vision was real?” I said.

"Of course it was!” said Daskalos.

“I mean, had they not changed their collective consciousness Niveveh would have been destroyed.They had the freedom to change and they did. With new causes you have new effects.”

From Fire in the Heart – healers, sages and mystics.

So yes, I feel that the universal consciousness connected through the Field is the sum total of us all - everything..

You may enjoy this interview with Daskalos just before he died.

I appreciate everyone’s insights over the past few months. There have been many great replies. I have enjoyed all of them.

I would like to add that many individuals currently see the Divine Force as something separate and external. Concepts from The Field offer the view that the Divine Force is part of us - something that is not separate. We are all connected. All consciousness is connected. The sum of all connected consciousness via The Field could be what generates this innate concept of the Divine Force within many of us - a feeling that it is something much larger than we are. This innate sense of a creative force that is much larger than we are could be misinterpreted as something separate and external rather than something that is apart of us and indeed all of us.

I would like to end on this thought… Everything, including consciousness, is energy. Energy can never be created or destroyed. Energy only moves into form, through form and out of form. Therefore, my interpretation is… We are spiritual/energy/conscious beings having a human experience - moving into form, through form and eventually out of form to become something new.

As always, your insights are very much welcomed. I find this topic to be inexhaustible. Open forums, like this one, allow all of us to share our concepts, learn from each other, expand our knowledge and hopefully... evolve to a state of heightened enlightenment. Keep growing!

I am in 'awe' each time I come here. It awes me to know that there are so many of you 'life masters' surrounding me and I am learning very quickly about myself from y'all. I'm lost for words, (a rare quality LOL) I don't know or have something to imput, except that I want to take this moment to say "thank you" to all contributing to my spiritual education.

Chicken or Egg??? Chicken of course. It chose the egg as a safe means of birth for its offspring.

Thought or brain. Thought of course. just look around you and you will see lots of living things
that must think but do not have what we understand as a brain.

Hence thought must exist outside of the brain.

Go back in time.........once upon a time.....a long long time ago.

Something somewhere must have had the very first thought....

And what a wonderful thought that is. The first one.

And then the thoughts multiplied somehow, and then they manifest into matter somehow.

So that thing that had the first thought becomes recognised. He gets given a name.

GOD.

And with all these other thoughts around him he gets more work done. The collective thought.

Eventually they manage to produce mankind is his own image. No THING has ever been produced without
thought.

And here we are today, in the present or PRE-SENT.

Thank you all for acheiving this goal. My answer to the question... "of course".

Dear inteligent being.
As we have been taught, GOD is every thing: past, presente and future at once. So GOD is as you said: The sum of the all universal consciousness working together at once. Every thing is GOD. You and I together are the manifestation of GOD. A man in China who is rowing his small boat through the yellow river is GOD as equal as our GOD manifested through both of us. What is the point to carry on talking about GOD whose mistery is so great that confusses us from the start? We are used to look for GOD around us, above us, below us, under the bed, behind the door, without the bit of understanding about ourselves. How can we talk about GOD when we dont even understand ourselves. When we talk about ourselves we make a lot of mistakes, we misunderstand the other`s point of view. We dont even know our own people who live in the same house, how do we pretend to be able to talk about GOD??
I greed that we must focus our thoughts on GOD from inside us. First know ourselves, then know GOD.
Meditate and you will be able to see thing more clear.


Regards.

i'd just remove the "what if" bit from the start of your question, turning it into a statement:

"God" is the sum of all universal consciousness connected through the Field

sounds like quite a reasonable statement to me

[David P. Mitchell]

I believe the Force / Vibration that is innately felt by almost all of us on some level is the sum of all universal consciousness connected through the Field.

I, however do not believe the it is self-aware in itself. I am a firm athiest.

Matt & Everyone,

We are constantly defining/redefining 'God'. Ever since early man began to concieve of 'nature' and an 'exterior force' that was involved in the world around him/her, we have been expanding our understanding of this 'Field'. We should, on occasion, convey and write down our expanded concept of God. "God is the sum of all universal consciousness (& subconsciousness) connected through The Field". That is one definition of God. Does God have subconscious thoughts? Or is one of the qualities of The Field is that God is conscious of everything?

I'm currently reading Lynne McTaggert's The Field (I'm half-way done). It is a book I recommend to everyone. Dr. Seth Lloyd of MIT wrote Programming the Universe (Knopf, 2006). This book can get rather 'technical', but I've found it to also be very enlightening! Lloyd describes how "this universe acts as a quantum computer. Particles not only collide - they compute. Information is constantly being transferred. Information can be created, but not destroyed, although it can be transferred". I sometimes elude to God as the universal quantum computer. This may be the same as referring to God as The Field, however, on first hearing, 'universal quantum computer' self explains a lot of things.

My personal favorite definition is GOD=7_4 (Matthew is 7 letters, Matt 4). If you haven't encountered this, please Google it or see http://exep.jpl.nasa.gov/presentations/IdentifyingTrueEarth-l...
