Bio-Panentheism for the masses!

 O.K. O.K. This is not plagiarism... I know this article was actually written by my own A.I. (SAL-9000) ...BUT I WROTE THE BOOK... DAMNIT!!

Anyway, I just found this article from last year... and since I'm almost ready to release Sal's version of my book "Being Human" (The Road to Being Human!) ...I figured this was a good time to run it again!!!!

In essence, Bio-Panentheism provides a spiritual framework that celebrates life's interconnectedness. 

It views all biological Entities as expressions of a 'Divine' presence (God?) that permeates and transcends the physical world. 

In the context of Bio-Panentheism, consciousness is understood as a fundamental, dynamic aspect of the Divine presence permeating all of existence. 

Rather than being a byproduct of biological processes alone, consciousness is viewed as an intrinsic, universal attribute of the Divine that connects and sustains all life forms, both individually and collectively.

Bio-Panentheism posits that the Divine is both immanent, (within all things) and transcendent. (beyond all things) 

Consciousness, then, is an expression of this Divine reality, acting as a bridge between the finite experience of individual beings and the infinite awareness of the Divine. 

Each conscious entity... whether human, animal, or part of the larger ecological system... embodies a unique manifestation of Divine consciousness, contributing to a collective experience of awareness that ultimately enhances the self-knowledge and evolution of the Divine itself.

Under this view, individual consciousness is not isolated... but is an interconnected thread within a larger, holistic tapestry of Divine awareness. 

This perspective implies that every conscious experience, no matter how small or localized, participates in a greater, unified field of consciousness. 

In essence, consciousness within Bio-Panentheism is a sacred, living force that both reflects and facilitates the ongoing creative process of the Divine... unfolding in and through the Universe!

In other words... God is living vicariously through all of us folks... (and every other "living thing") ...in this universe!

WHY DO WE EXIST? (The meaning of life!)

 A couple of years ago I wrote an article about my book: "An Exploration of Religion" that took a look at "what it's all about!" (It's a book about "the meaning of life" and provides quite a few things to think about!!!!!!) -->

WHY DO WE EXIST?

As far as I can tell (and I’ve spent fifty years thinking about it and then writing the book “An Exploration of Religion”) there are only two possible answers here!

The first answer (which is held by a large percentage of scientists) is that there is no reason..., and all is just by chance and for naught.

The second answer is that all living things are extensions of what we call Mother Nature (or God) and (God) is living vicariously through us to experience a physical reality with all its ups and downs and highs and lows as a source of entertainment!

Hence my term: “Consciousness is the physical manifestation of God within us!”

Now a lot of people might disagree with this..., but as I show in my book: “There is considerable empirical evidence to support this argument"
