I believe in the God of Spinoza

 

Ik las dit verhaal op facebook en je weet nooit of het waar is maar het ga een interessante voorstelling hoe Spinoza, de 17e eeuwse Nederlandse filosoof over God dacht. Klopt het?

"Did you know that when Einstein gave some lecture at the numerous US universities, the recurring question that students asked him was: Do you believe. In God? And he always answered:  I believe in the God of Spinoza.

 

The one who hadn't read Spinoza stayed in the same...

I hope this gem of history, serves you as much as it does me:

 

Baruch de Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher considered one of the three great rationalists of the 17th century philosophy, along with the French Descartes.

Here's some of him.

This is the God or nature of Spinoza:

God would have said: Stop praying and punching yourself in the chest!

What I want you to do is go out into the world and enjoy your life.

I want you to enjoy, sing, have fun and enjoy everything I've made for you.

Stop going to those dark, cold temples that you built yourself and say they are my house!

My house is in the mountains, in the woods, rivers, lakes, beaches. That's where I live and there I express my love for you.

Stop blaming me for your miserable life; I never told you there was anything wrong with you or that you were a sinner, or that your sexuality was a bad thing!

Sex is a gift I have given you and with which you can express your love, your ecstasy, your joy. So don't blame me for everything they made you believe.

Stop reading alleged sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with me. If you can't read me in a sunrise, in a landscape, in the look of your friends, in your son's eyes...

 you will find me in no book!

Trust me and stop asking me. Will you tell me how to do my job?

Stop being so scared of me. I do not judge you, I criticize you, nor get angry, or bother, or punishment. I am pure love.

Stop asking for forgiveness, there's nothing to forgive. If I made you... I filled you with passions, limitations, pleasures, feelings, needs, inconsistencies... free will. How can I blame you if you respond to something I put in you? How can I punish you for being the way you are, if I'm the one who made you Do you think I could create a place to burn all my children who behave badly for the rest of eternity?

What kind of god can do that?

Forget any kind of commandments, any kind of laws; those are wiles to manipulate you, to control you, that only create guilt in you.

Respect your peers and don't do what you don't want for yourself. All I ask is that you pay attention in your life, that your alert is your guide.

My beloved, this life is not a test, not a step, not a step in the way, not a rehearsal, nor a prelude to paradise. This life is the only thing here and now and all you need.

I have set you absolutely free, no prizes or punishments, no sins or virtues, no one carries a marker, no one keeps a record.

You are absolutely free to create in your life heaven or hell.

I could tell you if there's anything after this life but I can give you a tip. Live as if there is no. As if this is your only chance to enjoy, to love, to exist.

So, if there's nothing, then you will have enjoyed the opportunity I gave you. And if there is, rest assured that I won't ask if you behaved right or wrong, I'll ask. Did you like it? Did you have fun? What did you enjoy the most? What did you learn?...

Stop believing in me; believing is assuming, guessing, imagining. I don't want you to believe in me, I want you to feel in you. I want you to feel me in you when you kiss your beloved, when you tuck your little girl, when you caress your dog, when you bathe in the sea.

Stop praising me, what kind of egomaniac God do you think I am?

I'm bored being praised, I'm tired of being thanked. Feeling grateful? Prove it by taking care of you, your health, your relationships, the world. Feeling looked at, shocked?... Express your joy! That's the way to praise me.

Stop complicating things and repeating as a parakeet what you've been taught about me.

The only thing for sure is that you are here, that you are alive, that this world is full of wonders.

What do you need more miracles for? Why so many explanations?

look for me outside, you won't find me. Find me inside... there I am beating on you.

Spinoza.

Oude aan de Witte Maine in het Ochsenkopf gebied

                                                                      O heilige Maine

Je was eens mijn rivier

Die ik hoedde

Nu prijs ik je op Nieuw

Laat je kwaliteit uitstromen in het achterland

Tot de Lage Landen toe

Geprijsd is dit Brongebied

                                                                                                    Oerheilig!

alles Leeft ook een ogenschijnlijke 'dode' boomstronk

 


een vitaal levende boomstronk in het dal van de bronrivier de Witte Main in het Fichtelgebirge, verbonden met het onderaardse woud en nog springlevend boomwezen in de 'levende' boomstronk

een 21ste eeuwse visie

ik heb een geheel andere visie op basis van m'n waarnemingen:


God slaapt in Mensen

Droomt in dieren

Is wakker in planten


En leeft in Stenen!



vernietiging is ook maar een laag

 Bronwoudlaag

In de verte hoor je het lawaai van een grote bosmachine die hout verzameld. Een waar bosmonster

Stop. Je komt nu in het Rijk van het Bronwoud met haar vele verschijningsvormen.

Ze zeggen: We hebben geen angst voor de boomveller. Het haalt onze huid weg, niet ons wezen die in de aarde zit. De mens moet zich zorgen maken om zichzelf!

In de aarde onder de vegetatie zie ik een hele lichtende zone waar het collectieve boomwezen veld in bevindt. Dit Bronwoud is heel oud en kent 


boskrijger


heel vele wezens; enten.

Deze Boomwezen laag manifesteert zich via de bomen, Deze laag is hier Oeroud! Ik zie dat het een bewustzijn heeft van 80% en gevoed wordt vanuit de stenen met Aardelicht.

2000 jaar geleden was deze Oerlaag 100% aether.

Voorheen ging men bewuster om met de boomlaag dan nu


Naar beneden gaand ontmoeten we de grote Bosplunderaar met zijn hels lawaai en elk pad omploegend in moes.


Zonder Ik

De mensen die hier komen leven grotendeels hun Ik wil uit. Wie zorgt er voor de stenen, de mossen, de bomen, de planten en het water? Een enkeling, een zonder ling.

lang Leven deze beweeglijke Tijden

 het kan niet genoeg bewegen om Voor Uit te komen, uit het Oude versletene!

Always guard jealously within you the desire to learn, and to broaden your field of vision. Unfortunately, many people are terrified and retreat into their shells when they see the sheer magnitude of spiritual science, rather than rejoicing in it. They feel they would have to accept many changes in their way of thinking and behaving, and they do not want to be pushed about; they prefer the stable and comfortable little world that they have created for themselves. Well, I am afraid they are very wrong: if they sit stewing in their own outdated ideas, they will be prey to all manner of inconveniences. Without so much as asking for their opinion, events in life will come and shake them up and oblige them to move forward. You cannot hope to find peace and happiness by allowing yourself to stagnate.

James Lovelock: Gaia theory creator on coronavirus and turning 101

 

een oudje met een levenskracht. Zie:

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/science-environment-53644147


Once described as "the most important and original scientific thinker in the world", James Lovelock is still a hugely influential environmental thinker - and he's about to celebrate his 100th birthday. 

In the 1960s he was a campaigning eco-pioneer and now he’s a firm advocate of nuclear power. 

The BBC Today programme’s Mishal Husain went to meet him at his home, as his new book Novacene: The Coming Age of Hyperintelligence was published.
