We all seek to know what constitutes life, how it comes into being, and its fundamental portions that constitute a whole both individually and universally. Some people realize that everything is really an outward representation of subjective forces but desire to know how the spiritual forces of life make the transformation from the invisible into representations that comprise God.

In order to begin such an intellectual journey a human being must first know them self, the vital and fundamental portions that give them being, the knowledge of the positive and negative forces of their being, and all the associated ramifications. A human being must also understand their corporeal existence and its care, the emotions and their conversion into mental power, and the evolution of mind to spiritual consciousness.

The creation and ultimate development of the mind for such a journey can only be found through the evolution of emotions, desires, inspiration, analytical development etc. and their respective balance. It is only by applying the outer world to the inner world that the human mind is able to begin to conceive the majestic cycle and unique manifestation of God and the universe. This goes beyond all aspects of the mind or consciousness being just the behavior of neuronal cells or the existence of God being just the emotional centers of the brain satisfying a psychological need. The human mind is a functional entity devoid of metaphysical or religious implications relating to the existence of a brain or to the reception of sensory inputs explaining the mind as being the activity of large sets of neural cells.

The relationship between the mind and brain could be defined as two separate entities (consciousness - times two), each having its own area of shared specialization. This would make the "what is" mind more than a term to describe the higher functions of the human brain, or a postulate to describe relationships with supernatural beings and definitely more than the accumulated recordings of thoughts or perceptions of ones own existence.

At this level, spirituality and the subtler aspects of the mind would come into focus especially when traditional science and religion begin to transition to the background of the individual. As scientific and traditional religious activity subsides, the mind naturally becomes more peaceful and knowledge is revealed about the true nature of the mind. When all thoughts, feelings and memories by which we define ourselves begin to fade, the sense of a separate self begins to surface to reveal the essence of being and the true nature of self. It is within this essence of being that God (not a supernatural deity) is revealed to our consciousness, a consciousness that is a basic component of reality not something that materializes from or relies on the physical world of space, time and matter. Due to the word consciousness being used in so many different ways - as the word God is used in so many different ways - confusion often emerges. In the context of this explanation, consciousness is in reference to the sense or feeling of consciousness itself where the capacity for inner experiences exist.

This sense of consciousness is one thing all human beings share, but what goes into an individuals consciousness, the content (especially content which contains generalizations that are powerful, precise and explicit), vary in degrees. Everything we experience is our own personal reality. We think we are experiencing physical reality but everything out there is no more than images of reality reconstructed in our minds. What we perceive and what is actually out there are two very different things.

All of our experiences are images of reality (not false perceptions or delusions) created in our minds. False perceptions come when we confuse our experiences of the world with physical reality or the thing in itself.

Physics takes us closer toward the ultimate truth of the physical world but psychology and metaphysics takes us closer to the ultimate truth of the inner world of consciousness. The only common element of both the outer world and the inner world is light…more fundamental than space, time or matter. We see light but we never know light directly. The light that hits our eyes is known only through the energy it releases. This energy is translated into a visual image within our minds and that image seems to be composed of light but that light is only a quality of our minds. We never know the light itself. Light underlies every process in every present moment.

Any exchange of energy between any two atoms in the universe involves the exchange of photons. Every interaction in the material world is determined by light. In this way, light penetrates and interconnects the known universe. Physical light has no mass, and is not part of the material world; the same is true of consciousness. Without light as the source there would be no experience.

Unfortunately, many people today try to imagine God as being a supernatural being in some sort of physical context. This could not be further from the truth. God is nothing within the context of traditional understanding. In many ways, the success and divisiveness of traditional religions has prevented people from thinking more deeply about the true nature of God. Traditional religions have insured that there is only the finite without any other possibilities. People are forced to choose one path, so only one path is taken.

While saying something is continuous or infinite we can accept our nature as interacting with God. This is really a fundamental statement that allows everything to be discovered without the cycle stopping - a cycle that provides a vast energy source of replenishment for our inner well being. This more permanent and substantial state of enlightenment enables a better understanding of God that allows us to interactively experience the things we create. Touch them, hold them, hear them, see them, smell them and taste them. Every single thing would be God's energy continually creating and expanding itself anew, including the continuum of our own God consciousness.

Once the existence of God is accepted the maintenance of order in our universe begins to reveal itself in the reality of our consciousness. One has to be "infinite" in thinking for knowledge, unity and moral experiences to flourish. This brings to light the inner workings of our God consciousness and affirms the impossibility of fear, uncertainty and doubt of the essence of all. Truth of this nature can provide the recognition of reality and actuality of a world of peace and understanding. Acceptance of this truth liberates one from the slavery of the senses and all suffering comes to an end.

God is truth - there is nothing of anything that is true, good, beautiful, that is rejected. God is freedom from any attachment or agitation in terms of passion, aversion or delusion. The ultimate truth is in being one with God, without blocking the possibility of realizing this truth.
