Spirit sans God

[Toby Stimpson]

Spirituality without God... not really a major trek in the wilderness, but Id be curious, how do you all see the spiritual world without a God at it's command? In Hinduism, the ultimate 'God' is actually not a God at all but just reality... the illusion of God is what people come to realize as they become part of that God. How do you all see the spiritual world as non-theists?? :)

I view everything as having possibilities beyond imagination.
Everything is as it should be and will be whatever its meant to be.
No need for a deity to preside. Everything in existence, physical and non-physical does fine on its own. Always has. :)

Its kinda like this planet. It doesn't need us. It did fine before us and it will do fine after us. It did fine before the reptiles appeared, it will do fine after also.

And the solar system did fine before this planet existed and it will do fine after its gone.

Same with the galaxy we reside in. The universe did fine before it was born and will do fine after.

And since I believe in many universes they all do fine at all points of time and no time.

Its all the same in the non-physical realms. All those existences do just fine while they are existing and as they constantly change.

Everything does fine individually as its existing.

And change is constant, never ending or beginning, just is and its always been in flux and always will be as all existences physical and non-physical are flux always.

Oh boy, I have no clue if that makes any sense outside of my own brain. :)

Nut shell, spirituality without a deity is no different than a flower without deity, it does fine on its own and blooms beautifully. :)

That makes perfect sense, Shanti. I agree with you.

What I love about living my life without ever experiencing a higher power is this:

I can walk amongst all sorts of energy, spirit, existences and such.
I can bond and feel with everything, earthly, universal and unlimited.
No intimidation's.
No judgments.
Nothing to appease or please.
No expectations to meet.
Just experiencing and sharing with all... in true freedom. :)

Thats how not experiencing deity is for me.
