Was on BBC4 a few days back. Haven't got round to watching it yet.

Stuff about cheese and pre-existing universes, I believe.

God is not human in your terms, though he passed through human stages; and here the Buddhist myth comes closest to approximating reality. He is not one individual, but an energy gestalt.*

This absolute, ever-expanding, instantaneous psychic gestalt, which you call God if you prefer, is so secure in its existence that it can constantly break itself down and rebuild itself.

Its energy is so unbelievable, that it does indeed form all universes; and because its energy is within and behind all universes, systems and fields, it is indeed aware of each sparrow that falls, for it is each sparrow that falls.

Now - and this will seem like a contradiction in terms - there is nonbeing. It is a state of, not of nothingness, but a state in which probabilities and possibilities are known and anticipated but blocked from expression.

Dimly, through what you would call history, hardly remembered, there was such a state. It was a state of agony in which the powers of creativity and existence were known, but the ways to produce them were not known.

This is the lesson that All That Is had to learn, and that could not be taught. This is the agony from which creativity originally was drawn, and its reflection is still seen.

I must explain it to you in terms of time as you understand it. So I will speak for your benefit, of some indescribably distant past in which these events occurred.

All That Is retains memory of that state, and it serves as a constant impetus - in your terms - toward renewed creativity. Each self (you), as a part of All That Is therefore also retains memory of that state. It is for this reason that each minute consciousness is endowed with the impetus toward survival, change, development, and creativity. It is not enough that All That Is as a primary energy gestalt, desires further being, but each portion of It (you) also carries this determination.

From the Seth material, by Jane Roberts.

god is not an energy ball like in a startrek episode.

All of that description above by Jane Roberts is describing Pantheism.

it's not the God of the Holy Bible.

God seeks a relationship with his creation.

He is not the creation.

Who created the creator?

If we go down the rabbit hole there is no answer.

If there is a god then he's very benign.

zorrostrikes, we know that you believe what you read in the bible, that's great, as long as no one else's physical, spiritual, moral, (etc,etc) well being is not a price they must unwillingly pay.

The problem with the bible, the Kouran, and other texts is that millions have paid and continue to do so. I have no experience of Pantheism doing this. Good luck whatever you believe. I won't revisit this thread.
