Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici*

We know God is the energy of the Universe.

All powerful, All present, The Creator of the Universe in the Big Bang.

We know that His** creation is All good because of the very fact of it's All inclusiveness

There is no other

No devil challenging the power of God. God is All. Therefore without evil there is nothing but good when the Universe is taken in its entirety. Of course, from our limited perspective things may very well seem bad and even evil. But if the Universe was bad or evil we most certainly wouldn't be here. The reality of the Universe at large is that our life form cannot exist for a moment anywhere we know about besides a thin skin on this ball or earth we call home.

But is the Universe minded? That's where science and religion diverge. Science decries the existence of anything beyond the totality of the Universe and religion gives it a persona. They're both right. For that's where truth must lie.

But no one knows for sure. Don't have a clue. Any guess is just that, a guess based on little certain knowledge.

But using what we know, I think I can state the case in favor of a minded Universe. It goes like this:

We have consciousness. I'm writing this; you're reading it at some point in the future—or never. No doubt about that. It's a fact that consciousness exists. Consciousness is energy.

Would not a process that could create consciousness in us be likely to have it in the unimaginably greater reaches of All time and space—no matter how that creation came about?

And likely, we are part of that Universal consciousness, since it's everywhere. And that would mean we're all connected. And all connected to the Universal Consciousness.

Of course, we may not be the crown of creation, exactly. Doesn't seem like we're doing all that well as a species. I mean what are the odds. There could easily be other life forms on other planets far advanced of our own. Probably are.

Perhaps they even planted the seeds of life on this planet--which would explain a lot.

It's like there's a huge chamber off somewhere in another dimension filled with glowing balls of pure consciousness. manipulating the minds of all sentient beings on earth--pulling our strings. In fact, actually being the minds, the spirit, each taking a new body when the old one wore out.

From their point of view, the earth is perfect. All the blood and gore and sex and birth and death and courage and . . .

What a ride it must be for them. They crash the body by taking it to war, say, and they just get a new one, having lived a singular life, that of a soldier dying for his country, for instance.

And once in a while someone would figure this out, one way or another, just before the Universe snuffs them out. Oh OH!

Actually, I prefer another option. Each intergalactic species reproduces their own kind. Nobody plays hanky-pank on someone else's Being. I think that's the way God wants it. Much as specimens are grown in separate and different petri dishes.

Of course, we've already established that the Universe is the ultimate good simply because it's the ultimate Ultimate. Nothing else like it anywhere ever.

However, the Universal Energy, here forth referred to as God, can and will be created in any life form anywhere in the Universe at any time—because time doesn't exist for energy. Always was Always will be. Here there and everywhere. And only when made flesh that the clock starts running, like one of those prize show giveaways where the winner gets to shop for free for a few minutes.

Our lives race by like a RPG video game where we're the real life hero of our own life, or rather lifes. Not lives, as in more than one person, but sequential lifes, though an eternity in Eternity may have passed in a local dimensions. Until the fiery vortex of energy that is your Being chooses to have another wack at it, any time any place in all of Time and Space. Every time a new deal you dealt with the Being you create.

so may it be

* By the Power of Truth, I, While Living, Have Conquered from Christopher Marlow's Faust and Aleister Crowley took this phrase as his magycal motto as a " Magister Templi ".

**Personifying God as a He is only a convenience. Nor is God a She. God is way above gender.

Is there a God?
