There is no creator but the spirit. This quote comes from the spiritual scholar Siddhartha Gautama, who is also known to many people as Buddha (literally: The Awakened One), and basically explains a fundamental principle of our lives. Since time immemorial, people have puzzled about God or even about the existence of a divine presence, a creator or rather a creative authority who is said to have ultimately created the material universe and to be responsible for our existence and our lives. But God is often misunderstood. Many people often view life from a materially oriented worldview and subsequently try to imagine God as something material, for example a “person/figure” that is, firstly, for their own purposes Mind is hard to grasp and secondly, exists somewhere “above/below” the universe “known” to us and watches over us.
There is no creator but the Spirit
Ultimately, however, this idea is a self-imposed fallacy, because God is not a sole figure who functions solely as the creator of all of existence. Ultimately, to understand God, we must take a deep look into our innermost being and begin again to look at life from an intangible perspective. In this context, God is not a person, but a spirit, an all-pervasive, almost incomprehensible consciousness that represents our entire source, penetrates it and gives form to our lives. In this respect, we humans are an image of God because we ourselves have consciousness and give shape to our lives with the help of this powerful authority. In this regard, all of life is also a product of our own mind. Actions, life events, situations that in turn emerged from our own mental imagination and were realized by us on a “material” level. Every invention, every action, every life event - for example your first kiss, meeting friends, your first job, things you may have built out of wood or other materials, food you eat, everything, absolutely everything everything you have ever done/created in your life resulted from your consciousness. You imagine something, have a thought in your head that you really want to realize and then direct your entire focus on this thought, taking appropriate actions until the thought becomes reality or has been realized by yourself in your life. Imagine you want to throw a party. First, the thought of the party exists as an idea in your own mind. Then you invite friends, prepare everything and at the end of the day or on the day of the party, you experience your realized thought. You have created a new life situation, are experiencing a new situation in your life, which was initially only present as a thought in your own mind.
Creation is only made possible through spirit, through consciousness. In the same way, humans can only create with the help of their own mental imagination, with the help of their thoughts, situations and actions..!!
Without thoughts, creation would therefore not be possible; without thoughts, nothing could be created, let alone realized. Thoughts that are in turn linked to our own state of consciousness and determine the further course of our own lives. In this context, everything in existence is also an expression of consciousness. Whether people, animals, plants, everything, absolutely everything you can imagine is an expression of consciousness. An infinite energetic network, which in turn is given form by intelligent creative spirit.
We are what we think. Everything we are arises from our thoughts. We form the world with our thoughts..!!
As a result, we all create our own lives, use our own thoughts to create or destroy life. We have free will, can act in a self-determined manner and, above all, choose for ourselves what phase of life we create, what thoughts we realize, what path we choose and, above all, what we use the creative power of our own mind for, whether we are a create a peaceful and loving life, or whether we create a chaotic and disharmonious life. It all depends on you, on the nature of your own mental spectrum and the orientation of your own state of consciousness. With this in mind, stay healthy, happy and live a life in harmony.
Thank you for this motivating, inspiring and affirming post.
I remember when the thought occurred to me that “You shall not make an image of Me for yourself” is not a selfish, imperious command from God, but rather a loving reminder that it is a wrong path and easy to take several Life can deal with it... I knew that God was the Creator of All That Is and if I would now try to take a "part" of it and call "It" God, then what about all the "other" ?!?!!
You can't give God an image because God can be "seen" separate from nothing and nobody... Good for me to understand, because from then on I no longer tried to understand God as "something" separate, hidden, distant...
I realized, Everything is God... I can see Him in everything... The "One" that is described everywhere in spiritual traditions.
These and similar insights have given my life a real kick. And I changed, almost in a mystical, magical way.
I had many depressive phases over decades, and my thoughts often revolved around suicide.
When I understood God, I also rediscovered the power of my thoughts and I decided to create a fantasy world instead of these destructive thoughts. Before I think rubbish, I'd rather daydream about my paradise...
In 2014-16, I often sat at home on my sofa and refined my fantasy world... I imagined strolling barefoot along a river. The sun is shining and I have a lot of time… I was thinking about Spain or Portugal….
Right now, I'm sitting in Andalusia... I live here in a footbed at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. I've been here for 3 years now. I live in my truck, on a campo with a few other people. Often, as in my vision, I walk along the nearby river, the sun is shining, I feel every pebble under my bare feet and think to myself... "Ouch!…
That’s what you wanted”…
And I felt like it. I discovered “magic” and expanded my fantasy world accordingly…
As far as I am concerned, this wonderful post corresponds to reality... We are creators... Thank God...
Thank you very much for this soul flatterer...
Much love, what else…!?!!
