Interesting Things to Think About #10: Some Porn Sites Link to The Becoming God Blog
Blogger.com provides The Becoming God Blog with analytical tools, such as lists of the most-popular articles and which URLs and web sites refer people to this site. I have noticed for some time that a substantial portion of The Becoming God Blog's referring websites--enough to be way up on the lists--are porn sites. I am not sure what to make of this. I didn't even know it was possible for them to direct their visitors here; don't know how it would work. God bless them for finding a way.
I do not mind, of course. The whole world is the Ineffable's image--God's Manifestation--and God is imaged (for better or worse) by everything, including sex. Maybe even primarily by sex. My missionary side leans heavily toward teaching people the necessity of moral integrity and faithfulness, honor, respect, and fidelity in all relations in manifesting the Ineffable's natural characteristics. We are the Ineffable's manifestation--that is what we are doing here--but it does not yet appear how we are to do that perfectly. We are being generated to manifest the Ineffable more perfectly, not just do whatever we want to do.
God is interested enough in us to have become us, and in Jesus Christ (the anointing of the Life-giver, YHWH, upon us) to bless us. It is right for us to respond to this loving, providing Fatherhood of God with honor and respect and by doing something which demonstrates our recognition of this relationship. This doing of something is not payment in the sense of earning anything through works; it is a display of our recognition, honor, and loving respect, because God would have us manifest rightness and propriety.
To demonstrate their honor, some people observe a rules, like the laws of Hammurabi or Moses. Some go to church and study the Bible diligently. Some go on missions, teach, organize relief for the needy, offer legal or medical help, offer their tithes or support, or abstain from various pleasures. Whatever people are doing to please God, well, there you go.
By the way, I should explain one thing about this blog: the title 'The Becoming God' does not refer to us becoming God, but to the fact that God Itself is becoming fully manifest into the excellence the spiritual part of It already is. That becoming-ness is where everything has come from. Everything is the act of God's becoming. Its excellence is working out bit by bit. The term 'God,' in fact, is a verb referring to this action of the Ineffable. Godding is what we are supposed to be doing! For we also are the Ineffable in the act of Godding, i.e., becoming by our imagination.
This site is about the Ineffable we are becoming manifest more perfectly in and through us. My aim in it is to move us from our observation of God into our participation as God. I believe that is what the Vedas, Moses, Gautama, and Confucius were all about. We are not supposed to have a God in our mental "God-place," nor the conception of a separate being at any distance divided from ourselves, no separate God or Buddha or principle. For there is no God separate from us. "He," the No-thing beyond us and we are ONE. We also are no-thing, as is the Thing we are of.
Participating as the No-thing calls for humility and submission to It. It also calls for relearning how to imagine as a little child, in a waking dream state (theta-level consciousness) where the dream is especially vivid and what is to be accomplished is assumed to be already done. I hope you enjoy this blog.
Welcome.
