Global Warmed


“It would seem a prudent rule, Belphage, that a world leader must possess sapience,” speculated the young regent of the Northern Atlantic Territories. “Had our predecessors followed this guideline, the seas may not have risen to the point where roadways were their beds.”
“Absolutely, Madam Commander,” the guard concurred.

Communion With God



"Which snowflake is the most magnificent? Is it possible that they all are magnificent - and that, celebrating their magnificence together they create an awesome display? Then they melt into each other, and into the Oneness. Yet they never go away. They never disappear. They never cease to be. Simply, they change form. And not just once, but several times: from solid to liquid, from liquid to vapour, from the seen to the unseen, to rise again, and then again to return in new displays of breathtaking beauty and wonder. This is life, nourishing life,
This is you.
This metaphor is complete.
This metaphor is real.
You will make this real in your experience when you simply decide it is true, and act that way. See the beauty and the wonder of all whose lives you touch. For you are each wondrous indeed, yet no one more wondrous than another. And you will one day melt into the oneness, and know then that you form together a single stream."  - Neale Donald Walsch

worlds within worlds

Here's an attempt to summarise what pantheism means to me.

First, a definition, clarification if you prefer.

What is the word for the whole of Reality, including but definitely not limited to the material Multiverse beloved of physicists? [Noting that there are infinite dimensions to Reality, some compactified others expandified, some nested within others like matryoshka dolls, like the sheaves on a Calabi-Yau manifold!]

Many Faiths, Many Philosophies - ONE LOVE





"The Buddha respected people’s desire to practice their own faith, so he answered the Brahmin’s question in a way that encouraged him to do so. If you enjoy sitting meditation, practice sitting meditation. If you enjoy walking meditation, practice walking meditation. But preserve your Jewish, Christian or Muslim roots. That is the way to continue the Buddha’s spirit. If you are cut off from your roots, you cannot be happy." ~Thich Nhat Hanh
