Hello Old Dude,
"My thoughts on this would be that perhaps GOD represents a state of being or existance, neither male or female or even human as we know human beings."
"Perhaps an energy source without corporal attachment......."
God made manifest. See: the Burning Bush
"Nor do I mean "beings from other planets" which would limit GOD to a "being from another planet"......."
Right again. The God of everywhere, Omnipresent throughout the Universe, AND beyond, into the Sea of Energy of the Noun. Difficult to grasp this possibly, but the thoughts of God are instantaneous, everywhere at the same time. God is as much in touch with himself as with everyone else. All seeing and All knowing. See: Thot
"I am not necessarily subscribing to this, just something to toss out..."
I must have missed this post, but it is perfect.
We know from the roots of our Egyptian based belief system that Creation occurred in an Infinite and Eternal indestructible Sea of Energy known as the Noun (Pronounced Noon, and I will use this spelling as it is easier to pronounce, and otherwise you would be thinking in terms of verbs & nouns, etc.)
Thermodynamics and the energy equation bear this out as ENERGY can neither be created nor destroyed by the hand of man.
GOD too can neither be created nor destroyed by man, and just as well, as then He could not be Eternal. So we can see that the energy which was already there before Creation is like God Who was also always there before Creation, otherwise He could not have been there to Create!
Just as there are men and women, male and female, there are gods and godesses, small g, the Big G being reserved for GOD and, of course His Own Goddess.
If we now look at Egypt, there we can see ALL of the deified "Aspects" of Creation, built as a model of what is ACTUALLY happening and how everything fits together perfectly.
Starting with "The Council of Nine" (God is represented by Zero, 0, being the Tenth "Aspect") we then see the basic description of Creation including atoms, molecules and male and female, plus the progression of man from human to superhuman god. Man and Superman. (As represented by the Sphinx.)
The Nine Aspects are, Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Isis, Osiris, Set & Nethys. These last four are upon the Earth and are descriptive of behaviour.
(Geb = The Earth (masculine aspect) and Nut = The Sky, or "Heavens" (feminine aspect.)
Atum is representative of an atom.
Shu is the masculine Aspect and male god, but not Supreme God.
Tefnut is the female Aspect and feminine goddess, but not Supreme Goddess.
Married gods and goddesses are the Shu-Tefnut, Super-Men & Super-Women formed from the initial or initiate Osiris-Isis lovers sorely tried by the murderous Set and the Jealous Nethys, simply a description of human misbehaviour tending to the criminal.
This Shu-Tefnut marriage bond is also representative of two atoms joined as a molecule, so the Original Trinity of Creation consists of three representations of the atom, Atum, Shu & Tefnut where Atum is also representative of The Creator being above the other two.
In nature this combination is best described by Ozone being three atoms of oxygen, consisting of one molecule of oxygen joined with an additional single atom of oxygen.
If you draw an equilateral triangle then Atum is at the top and Shu-Tefnut across the bottom. Shu-Tefnut are joined by a double bond, their love for each other; in the more Ethereal presence of God, depicted as Atum, being singly bonded to both of them.
So it is THIS which is The Original Trinity. Now to attempt to translate this picture into the religious trinity of Father, Son and Sacred Spirit or Ghost. NOT easy, as it will require a great deal of understanding.
Rather than keep the All-Seeing and All-Knowing Aspects of "The God Presence" separate as the deified Adpects of Horus, The All-Seeing Eye of God, and Thot (thought) The All-Knowing mind of God, these two were combined into the Sacred Spirit. A big mistake in my opinion as these aspects are easier to consider separately.
This has unfortunately given rise to a male dominated religious structure which bears precious little resemblence to the original.
Now we have Father (male) Son (male), Horus (male)together with Thot (male) and scant regard for goddesses who are the other half of the Shu-Tefnut, Male-Female, God-Goddess, Super-Man plus Super-Woman Eternal bond.
So you may see that I prefer the Original Trinity, as it is much more scientific, dealing with atoms, biology, and Eternal Love in the presence of God.
A clear Enlightened scientific understanding, free of sectarian wrangling and violence.
So Old Dude is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. God is an energy form, Eternal & Indestructible, Who "was" always here, long before Creation, and Who will always be here, Omnipresent, all of the time. So is His Goddess and so are the Gods and Goddesses whom He has brought into being, Eternal and Indestructible. That they ARE Lovers is clearly the case. Very beautiful really! (Beatification.)
The Second Law of Thermodynamics clearly implies that "Nothing can get hotter by itself." so there HAS TO BE an External Force to provide the "impetus" and also to "disturb" or Create within a Sea of Energy which was in a state of calm, (Still waters).
It is within these still Waters of The Eternal Sea of Energy of The Noun that Creation took place.
Going back a little. "Married gods and goddesses are the Shu-Tefnut, Super-Men & Super-Women ... " ... and there are two states of being here, godliness within men and women within a corporeal body "Real" and Godliness within Supermen and Superwomen in a refined state of "beatification" having been "purified" into a non-corporeal state, clearly still manifest but obviously not in the same state of being.
It is known that GOD has Manifested Himself before man and before now. So, as He is always here, then where is He?
To See or not to See, that is the Real question. Or are the blind still leading the blind?
We shall see.
Thank you "Old Dude"
These youngsters don't know as much as they think they do, but YOU do.
So do I.
And there ARE ... MANY ... more who do too.
