Post Your Personal (Even Far Out) Spiritual Beliefs Here

Last night I got into a conversation about spirituality that really got my mind cranking. Over my lifetime I've evolved spiritually in a lot of different ways - especially in the past year, on the heels of an incredible experience that I'll detail (and have detailed in another post) below.

I currently believe in a multiverse structure. My thoughts previously were that time, and the universe, were a single entity - almost linear in its construction - in the sense that this galaxy was the one reality, even considering life on other planets.

However, since my experience, it has broadened significantly to include other dimensions of spirit as well as corresponding realities (universes/universi?).

I hold a belief that the "Big Bang" was a real moment when this universe we live in was created from a single source of Consciousness. That is what we know as God. Creator. Source. Whatever. Perfect in its love, knowingness and beingness.

From that Source we were given "life". Possibly growing, evolutionarily, from driving our Consciousness through the growing forms of matter that were also created at the time. At one time being a molecule, then an atom, then simple cells, then to more complex life/matter, and up the chain to our current states. And that there is a purpose to it all - that we, too, can be our own Creators eventually, fully realizing our natures as Gods ourselves, and begin our own infinite space/universe and start the process of watching, in our own perfect beingness and knowingness, those created by us going through the same spiritual evolution that we have gone through.

There are so many small-scale evidences of this process occurring already in watching ourselves create, love, grow and evolve in this third-dimension that I have to belief the greatest culmination of this effort would be realized in growing that sphere to the eternal and all-encompassing. And all without emotion - because we know that no matter how many hundreds, thousands, millions or billions of years it takes, every single being would grow into that same effort, each of them doing it on their own timeline (except time wouldn't obviously exist to a perfect being - neither would the anxiety of watching them endure hardship, pain, evil, etc. because you would be watching with full knowledge of the "process" and its implications).

I believe that once we become fully-realized in this life and have power over this state of being, we are then (after death) moved to the next phase of spiritual evolution. Another planet perhaps - another plane. To rid ourselves of the things that have occurred in our past lives and scale ourselves upward to Creator-hood. But while here, we play a game of "forgetting" who we are, our purpose, what we know and what the meaning behind this travail really is. The reason for that is so we don't just get led by the hand through our life but actually attain the knowledge and action that's required to attain the spiritual gain that will then move us beyond the game of that reality.

Anyway, I could go ON AND ON about this, and while some of it is theory, there is so much of it that is experiential. I'll point you to my post on the experience I had last year and let all of you go from there, but I'd love to get more ideas on the state of man and their spiritual nature. It's the driving force behind every bit of air I breathe - growth in that realm is all I think about now. Living here in matter, implanted in our bodies as all-powerful, all-knowing spirits that are working out the complexities of experience has a purpose beyond living in some kind of religious paradise with God. It's that we already are Gods but have to earn the state of Creator through experience (life after life after life of learning to love, know and be in perfection).

Here's my original post that started it all for me. Never intend offense.
