Greetings!

The Baha'i Faith, which is just beginning year 165 on its calendar, is the newest major religion. "Baha" means "glory," and the suffix forms the adjective so that "Baha'i" means "of Glory" (it's pronounced "ba-HIGH"). We believe in Progressive Revelation, that God continually sends Divine Messengers to renew religion and guide humanity with His latest laws and teachings for us. (Spiritual teachings are eternal and unchanging <tho' sometimes expressed in different wordings>; social teachings are intentionally temporary and can be altered or abolished by any later Divine Messenger <though not by us>.) The most central teachings of the Baha'i Faith are what we call the Three Onenesses: the Oneness of God (Who is known by many different names in the various languages and cultures), the oneness of humanity (who are all brothers and sisters), and the common foundation of all the great religions (each of which is a successive stage in a single ever-evolving faith, the Faith of God)! You can find more information at The Bahá'ís and Bahai Faith | Baha'i Faith | United States Official Website, and questions are most welcome! :-) In the US, you can also request free information or find the nearest Baha'is by phoning 1-800-22-UNITE.

Best,

Bruce

I believe a very great deal of our suffering and the suffering we inflict upon others is an unnecessary consequence of a particular kind of mental confusion related to our capacity for language. I believe there is a way of liberating ourselves from such confusion through following the teachings of Buddhism, although such liberation is not limited to Buddhism. I believe the universe is structured holarchically, which has vitally important implications for how we should live and what we can expect from life, in the long term as well as in our individual lives. I believe human civilisation is doomed to collapse unless we can come to understand our nature as holons and adjust accordingly.

GOD/Jesus Christ being defined as our Heavenly Creator, Daddy, Savior, Resurrector, Teacher, Mentor, & Best-friend.

I am one of Jesus Christ's followers...giving it my best,
in following His *Loving suggestions* ("commands" sounds so harsh)
1. LOVE GOD with all your soul, mind, & heart.
2. LOVE your neighbor as yourself; meaning a) we are to LOVE ourself. b) LOVE others regardless of religion)
3. LOVE your enemies, do not judge have mercy - 1 thing I don't understand: people harming others particularly
physically, including intending to deprive others of mortal life, have gone too far.
I have a hard time loving the latter.
4. Use to everyone's BENEFIT, the MIND (of which brain is a small part) which GOD blessed each of us with.
5. Use your own Mind to recreate its physical body healthfully and youthfully perpetually...

I believe God is the totality of existence; that in order for God to be omnipotent, omniscient, transcendent and immanent, God must be the totality of existence including all parts of existence we are unaware of, including all time and all space. I dont believe however that all existence is created yet, or that we have a destiny written in stone, I think we can change our fate; we create our own stories in conjunction with everyone else. Our stories are written within us like a tree's destiny is within it as a seed, but how it will look exactly is not certain. I believe we are made in the image of the Creator, with the ability to create an entire world ourselves, as the butterfly effect tells us. This is both our blessing and our curse: we cannot choose to not affect the world, we can only try to effect how we will do it. And I believe that the information that makes us up is conveyed to our spirits (non-local selves) and when we die we cease to be local beings stuck in one time-frame and we collapse into singularities of beingness, to join with the one-ness of being dwelling at light speed, where time is meaningless and all space-time is coterminus with a single point.

I believe beliefs point but do not define. My beliefs point in a direction that is remarkably similar to Toublemane's.

Thank you, Troublemane. You spoke for both of us.

I believe that Jesus is the son of God, who came to earth, dwelt with us, was crucified for our sins, died, was buried and arose on the third day to ascend to Heaven to the Father (God) and is returning to take His church home to Heaven. We will be judged according to our works and deeds. I believe in the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. For those who accepted Jesus as our Lord, and Savior will be going to Heaven. For those who don't, sorry I believe there is a Hell.......I hope to see you in Heaven.....

Ok. Here's my take...

God is the Living Sentient UniVerse (OneStory).
Everything that exists, exists of/with-in God.
You might say that God is the "fabric of life".
You might say that God is dream/dreamer...
and we have taken form in that dream(ing)
as lucid characters in God's lucid dream.
And so we are dreams with/in a dream.
Dreamers with/in the Dreamer.
Stories with/in a story.
The many Verses of the Uni.
The fabric of life is both interactive & transformative.
Word/thought/symbolism/belief/belief in action
are what creates our specific reality experience within God.
The dream fabric is far more directly transformative,responsive & interactive
than most people will ever REALize, believe or even consider.
The whole of the reality experience/construct
is completely malliable to the dreamers mind-set.
Some people dream heavens, some people dream hells.
Some people dream illusory prisions and rules
that hold other dreamers captive from their own
transformative power with/in the source.
They steal people's authority(author-ship)
as they mold their beliefs & dreams for them.
The whole "trick" to Life & Meaning...
is coming back to the Source for yourself.
Taking back the authorship of your own life.
REALizing & ACTIVating your connection with/in The Source.
Plugging in to the limitless potential.
Only there is found transcendence and shift-ability
within the limitless paradigms of thought & reality.
Finding your "will" and declaring your "heir"ship
as son and daugher gods of the ONE.
