GOD - WHO IS IT? PART 1

Disclaimer: This is a controversial topic.

Subjective to my thoughts, please do not treat this as something against any race/creed/religion. This is purely irreligious. Any idea which contradicts yours, is purely fictious.

The following are my views towards God.

At the very tender age of 2 or 3 years when the child begins to utter some sounds, the elders teach him/her how to pray. They make them repeat what they say. Oh God!! Please take care of us; Please GIVE US happiness, health, wealth and what not. Please give me the ability to judge what is good and what is bad. Make the world a better place to live. Spread peace.. Every child would grow in such an environment where the so called "God" is framed in a shelf in a corner of the house, or these days in a separate 20X20X20 cft room in a house where we see all the idols of Gods with many other items used in performing rituals.
What are the elders trying to do? Why are we taught Who, How, What God is? Are they trying to make us realise the truth? People say that God exists in every human, in every living being and in children. Then why teach them how to salute, how to chant, etc. From the stage of being featus inside the womb of the mother till death, is it not ones own responsibility and ones own instinct to know what God is? The meaning of God or the mysterious truths cannot be taught by long speeches or religious books. It can only be realised by one self. We all know that God is some entity that is independent of any religion. Then why religion? Why various practices are enforced to be followed? Why rituals?

There are so many books written about these things. Various people have tried to express their own feelings, thoughts towards God. Many deliver speeches which we can hear in the popular television channels daily morning. What are all these people trying to do? Are they trying to make people realise something? or teach something? If so, every person who is speaking or who authored a book must have realised something or known something that they are trying to tell the world.

There are many mythologies, histories in every religion in the world which tell something about how to realise God. That means that there are many ways to realise Him. The word 'Him' will imply that God is in a male human form. We could also have used other pronouns like 'It', but since people saw Him in human form, we are continuing this. My basic question is why are we following/practising the rituals or practices that have been followed for ages together? We also know that many are being customised. So if these things can be customised, then what is that we are supposed to do? Why are there customs when the concept of God is independent of cusotms and practices? Or rather why should we follow them?

Who/What/where/Why/How is God?

I shall use the word 'It' rather than 'Him' only to express my thought that God is formless, hence no nouns or pronouns. What we know is that many years before, people realised God in many forms. Those who have personified God must have seen It in the dreams or through naked eyes and hence we have the anthropomorphic forms of It. Lot of people are making their lives by selling those photos/frames/idols, etc. Added to this, we have the famous painters like Raja Ravi Varma and many other who in the courts of great kings have painted the human forms of God both in masculine(God) and feminine (Goddess) forms. Has God something to do with gender? Anyways, we also believe that many epics like Mahabharatha, Ramayan, The Crusade, have really happened since we have historic dates for the events. Our ancestors have successfully described the heroes of the epics in many books and stories and have realised that those heroes were God's. When asked whether there are multiple Gods, the answer we receive is God in many forms.

All this might look wierd, but I wanted to express my thoughts and feelings about God.

God according to me, in one word is energy.

Sun - undoubtedly is the source of energy for all life in the solar system. Plants, animals (human beings), and various other forms of life (Biology categorizes into Protozoa, Polifera, homosapiens, chordata, etc. I am not good at biology though) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_classification

Air, Water, Earth, Fire and the Sky are the five elements of the universe. There is no denial of this fact. They also take energy from the Sun. Solar energy is the one single source of energy that we have in our solar systems. Does any body know that there exist many other solar systems?

So The Sun is the supremo. All the planets orbit around the Sun, since 'It' has its own gravity and energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can not be created or destroyed—it can only be changed from one form to another.Every single unit of living creature on this planet Earth has some energy with which it grows. But the energy levels vary. Right from the time of conception till death, every creature has some amount of energy associated with it. While growing, the energy levels increase/decrease according to the electromagnetic spectrum. If our energy is in the visible spectrum range, then it would appear as a visible color. Almost all the living beings are far below the visible spectrum, hence we dont see the halo around us.
When we die, the energy in us is converted into some other form, not necessarily a human form again. It could be a non-living creature also. Yes, they do have certain energy levels in them. Right from the Atomic theory of Dalton till the Bohr's model, energy is associated with every atom. Some people, popularly called the insinful, reach a moksha stage. An electron which has the highest energy level will be just near the nucleus and the one with the least is the farthest. Similarly, if a creature or a human being has high energy at the time of death, that energy would search for its conversion at higher enery levels in the atmosphere. The more the energy, the closer to the Sun. Our energy levels right now are very less compared to the Sun. Until an electron has a minimum threshold energy, it cannot reach a higher energy state.

Since God is energy, the more energy one has, the more God he is. In other words, one can realise God at higher energy levels.The Gods we see in the photos have a halo around them. That indicates that they are at higher energy states. Realisation of God means to feel the higher energy flowing in and out of one self. How much is that energy? Do we have that in us?At what state are we currently?

Wierd thoughts, rite!! Want to have more stupidity?? Go ahead!!
