Well, for me there is an unconnected leap between 'I think, therefore I am' and 'one mind created all of this I see'
but I'll put aside the difference between logic and philosophy, and read on. -
-
Thank you for reading and commenting, Pania. It is always a pleasure to hear new "input", and your thoughts are appreciated. I'll save any debate over whose "logic" and whose "philosophy" is unconnected and simply say thanks.

WOW this is an incredibly deep piece!!
I'm a bit lost for words.

Thank you, mellilot. And I like your reference to descartes. I think he had it backwards, as you picked up on here. Overall, this series is one of my personal favorites, because of the succinctness of it all. Plus it is fun to hear what others think!
Thanks for coming by and reading!

oh... not sure how to go about commenting on the whole.
This first bit screamed Descartes at me, but is more the reaction to Descartes as the man himself was a dualist.
I liked the general progression of the whole- and it spoke to me of a general movement in thought/paradigms througout history, that was at times a little trite. But I liked how throughout all the searches for truth were searches for self and attempts to understand who "I am" - the use of "I am" as a title was quite inspired by the way; adding a quirk and an identity in many senses.
This is, I have to say quite a brilliant piece. -
I had to comment on DNA, which I've heard can stand for "Divine Natural Awareness"
We all got it!

what may be beyond the ability for most to grasp and understand; we ARE of the D N A of God--created in His mind, then by his mind. Ultimately, we share the same mind.Therein lives the 'peace' He offers to all whi dilligently seek Him. Mr. Joe

Excellent poem
excellent spiritual write, just awesome. I can't say how much I liked it. -
Merlin’s Tongue!…..what a spellbinding concoction of magical imagery…I haven’t read something this amazing since I read Mein Kampf! HAHA!!!

BRILLIANT!
I have read every part of you theory. I concur that everything you said is intelligent, well thought-out, concise, liberating, and makes me give a sigh of relief to witness my belief that;
"WE are all pieces of the whole, and everything is ONE!"
ONE living entity cannot exist without the other ONE. The cycle of life dictates that "Love" is the essence of ALL things, no matter how great or small.
You have written a manual for the masses. I am very impressed with your brevity. It does not take numerous papers and/or an unending essay to bring to light; TRUTH!
You have politically, scientifically, spiritually, and naturally given the yen and yang, the alpha and omega....
Although this is theory it rings more true than a lot I Have read, and believe me, I am well-read.
I love the use of I Am. I also love the usage of "peace/piece"
My brother once concluded a sermon by saying;
"The only way to obtain the PEACE of God is by internalizing a Piece of God"
BRILLIANT! BAVO! BRAVISSMO!
I am going back to applaud each part because once the reader begins on this journey there is no stopping or pausing until the end is reached. You conclude this theory with a resounding rush of absolution that sorts the mind like a sieve.
Much Love,
Renee

PeaceChain, it is with the humblest sense of appreciation that I say thank you for the kind words. This series on my "theory" is one that I am quite fond of, so it's always a pleasure to hear that it resonates with others.

Simply and brilliantly said and we all are and so a part each of the other and so each is also a peace of the greater whole or the greater whole is within us a part of us the place from whence we came the place where all journeys end..
-
Thank you, Paul. It is always a pleasure when someone stumbles across this series. And you are right, I'm quite please with how these turned out, although a little tweaking may be in order for a couple of them. Overall, they impart the message I'd hoped they do. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for delving into this with me.

You'll forgive me for commenting on just one after reading the lot... I need a ladder lol this was deep, an inward examination of why, who and what. Your not the first and somehow I doubt you'll be the last I guess we all ask the questions that life dumps before us in riddles but you have achieved more than most your summations are eloquent taking us on a journey past I think there for I am, the evolution of fear and religion all in the birth of the self, an awareness. I like this very much I’m sure your pleased with the way it evolved…well done
Paul -
That is what I'd intended for, in this part I. Strange, this entire series came to me almost a year ago, after waking up around 3am, unable to sleep. It's been amongst my personal favorites ever since.
Glad you enjoyed.

The poem admits the immensity and infinity of reality. -
Astounding and so liberating to see this written here. I believe this exact thing and I am so happy when I see it communicated in this eloquent way. Lovely work - now I have to go and read the rest.
-
Ok, good start... I am moving to the next one. I couldn't find the one you wrote about when you commented "A Thought" so I will keep reading these ones.
-
Well cool! Glad you enjoyed and I'd certainly be interested in hearing your take on them all, if you get that far through them. Thanks for coming by.

I'm not one for God, and normally I shy clear of commenting on 'Godly' works but this doesn't fit in the bracket, it is more earthly..
I will go and read the next -
Aspasia77, I always find it enlightening to hear the thoughts of others, so your comments are appreciated. It does seem to me that throughout our history, we have been taught to think of our "littleness" as being insignificant. I have learned quite the opposite, however, in that it is our grandeur as a very piece of god that contains our destiny of self awareness. This has been my experience, actually, leading to my own personal awakening.
peace
doug

I tend to agree somewhat, however; I find that I tend to believe that individually we are unimportant pieces of God. I think that our importance comes from the belief in self. God is all. All we are is what we are.

Ah. Beautiful...
Creation was

and shall ever be
Part of you and part of me
Bravo!
I can't wait to read more... -
Thank you, bam bam. I am quite pleased with this series as well. I too was raised in the catholic religion, so your comments ring deep for me. What a strange religion that is, when one can divorce oneself from the trappings inherent in it. Of course, no different than other religions really.
Thanks for your insights and commentray and I'm glad you enjoyed this.

"I Am of this One Mind"
yep, I'm reminded of Adam and Eve...we are all of the same mind. When you think about nature, what sets humans apart?
Instinct!
It is instinct that the whole of creation relies upon...
...except for human beings! We are the only creatures with the ability to think for ourselves, with the choice to see the foresttor the trees, human nature is unreliably unpredictable because we rely on our thought patterns and not so much on our instincts...but instincts still arise! Especially when two people with free-will cross paths, as this creates a distinct conflict that no other creatures in existance experience.
I think that organized religion trains people into faithful "sheep," as it is the "religious" folks who tend to react upon instinct (as anybody who grew up in a Catholic environment would probably think, at this point in my comment: bam bam, YOU'RE GOING TO HELL, HEATHEN!
) When people 'resort' to instinct, rather than the free-willed, unified mind that is all of Human Nature, Wars ensue! Just like the animal kingdom...the sheep need the shepherd's protection from the wolves because they lack the intelligence (not to say religious people are stupid-they're not!! Merely reactionary) to defend themselves. Wow, look at all this that I have written, your stuff is really deep, Watuwant!

Josie, thanks for the comments. Most likely this wasn't what you were looking for in this contest, but it struck me to enter anyway. And yes, I do have the "series" completed. It's one of my favorite all time creations.

I love the beautiful simplicity of this poem, although the words themselves are complex and emotive, your faith shines through with startling clarity, and I have previously only seen that in poems which are a lot longer. Great job, and I will be bookmarking it so that I can continue with the collection. God Bless You Doug. K xx

Thanks, Brady! This entire series is one that I have come to cherish, perhaps more than any thing else I have written. Your enjoying it simply makes me happy!

Quite an interesting way of viewing it. The world is always shaped and looked upon by the view of an individual, yet not very many people grasp this concept. Bravo, Doug!

poison, this poem is "incomplete" only because it is part I of a series. I believe that if you read them all, you would then see that I have left nothing out. I was with intent that these are brief, concise, and pointed. Yet thru them all, and when taken in totality, I also believe it is a completed series.
I Am familiar with Hinduism, and even some of the Egyptian stuff you mention. It has been awhile since studying up on them, but study I did. My thanks to you for recommending them and I will certainly delve into them again if inspired to do so. For the time being, I am focussed on other aspects.
There is another book out, quite recent, called "The Disappearance of the Universe" by Gary Renard, which falls in line with my thought system completely. This book states that the universe itself is an illusion, created by us, and that once we unite as one mind, it too will disappear into the nothing from which it came. Indeed, it goes on to say that this has already happened, and yet for those of us in the illusion, we have not reached that point yet. lol, a mind bender, to be sure, but fascinating stuff.
At any rate, let me know about your contest and thanks for coming by.

Hum nice, I’m glad you liked my Loki- meets Lilith poem... I have a pet snake named Lilith, she is so cool, black Mexican king snake...heehee she's got the perfect name
Anyway I think this could use some work, delve a little deeper into what you want to say, if it helps, try reading a little bit about Brahman and Autman from Hinduism, these concepts seem to be right in line with what you are saying
Brahman is the creator above the creator, everything exists inside of Brahman and therefore everything is Maya, illusion... even the Brahman himself... the Autman is the piece of the Brahman bestowed upon human beings, those who nature it are privy to the knowledge of Brahman and are one with him, those who do not nature it are angry and bitter since the Autman brings piece to the human mind... the word Autman comes from the Egyptian Amen, who was the dark lord of all -who is a part of all that is holy... some interesting stuff if you factor in that in Egypt and elsewhere Amen was evoked after every prayer -even prayers to other gods.... just something interesting I thought you would like...

I have already read this, but I'm glad to read it again. I have followed your "theories of the mind" collection and you did an excellent job making sequels, something that is very challenging. Cheers!

aslanlight, thank you very much for your kind comments. And I have 6 other parts to this series on my home page here at AP if interested, taking us all the way through this little experience of ours called creation.

Aspasia, yes, I have enjoyed your poetry. By all means, keep it up, although write for yourself rather than others (which I'm sure you do.)
And it matters not whether "you agree" with me. In essence, your statement contains wisdom. We are ALL Gods, simply in the process of Godding, or realizing it, so in that sense, there are many "subgods." However, ultimately, all is one and comes from one and goes back to One. This can be proven, to yourself, if you simply seek to realize it.
peace
doug
-
i like the sparseness of this, i think it projects the idea of the expanse of the universe nicely
-
You seem to like my poetry. I appreciate that; I will have to write you more.
I don't agreed with you necessarily. Perhaps there were other gods before the God which is now ultimate. The small fish being eaten by the big fish theory. Perhaps existance is divided among many Gods? Subgods.

New Archers, thank you for your nice comments! I just read your comment again, and it sounds like you're describing a fine wine! lol

Thank you, La Belle! Nice of you to stop by and comment. The entire series, 6 short poems total, is something that strikes me as being quite profound.
Your comments are appreciated.
Piece!

I like the turn of pharse, "Piece" of God, a thought provoking write.
-
Thank you, Lady! yes, the piece began as an inside joke after an AP friend read these, and then changed signed his comments "piece" instead of peace, and I have been doing it as well since.
Your comments are appreciated. If you could read all VI, and let me know your honest critiques, it would be deeply appreciated.
Piece!!
doug
-
i get the "piece" now
very, very clever write! -
ecrain, thank you so much for your thoughts and insights. Truly, it is appreciated. I chose the wording of "the piece" specifically because, in my view, "the" and "one" are synonymous.
Piece!

this si such a short poem . yet it speak so profound in it words. it truely make one stop and think. I really like poems that make you stop and think about everthing.I am looking forward to readin this rest of these. I thsnk you ever so much for sharing you wisdom with all of us.
-
good job
This is a very good, and it says a lot in a few short verses. I will try to get to the rest eventually, but I am short of time today. In any case, this stands on its own as an insightful and expressive piece of writing. I would have said "herein lies one piece of God" however. In any case, good job. -
Oh my!!
-
Thank you for reading this. Indeed, I would love to hear your input if you would read all six.

This poem is amazing. It's so simple, but the message is very deep and complex. As always, insanely good job.
-
Great start!"I am of this one mind" God is.god is me, I am god.
This line defines concept to be explored further? followed by the peice wordplay.Killer start.I now move on with intrest and a bent towards the metaphisical defination saught. -
Good, good. Keep going, my friend. It only gets better. If there are points to critique, please feel free to do so!

"I Am of this One Mind
Herein Lies the piece of God"
I was floored! This is short and to the point. The meaning behind it is just beautiful and the wording is just brillant. I really was moved! And I don't say that often, because I'm not really effected by what I read, but you always give me something to think about! I just love this!
<3 Jessi -
Wonderful. I look forward to your responses!
doug
-
Well...you're off to a wonderful start as far as I can see. I especially liked the "piece" play on words sort of image/feeling it evoked. I almost read it as "peace" the first time until my mind said "Wait a minute! That's not what that said..." Very nice touch. And very fitting! You've created a thing of major substance from just a few words, which I always love to see. Thanks for inviting me to check this out. Am off to read the next bit....
God bless and be well, Sim.

Yes, Presence, it certainly is not our intent. Very happy to hear, from those I respect, that this is the beginning that fits so well for Our intent.
Talk to you Wednesday!

When one builds something you must start with a good foundation, and here it is. The first stone to be laid is the on which all else is built, and by placing the mighty "Now" as your cornerstone you have started at the right place.
This is a great beginning to the series of which I will say now I quite enjoyed. The concise forms and sutra like statements at the end were intriguing, and lent a sense of continuity, and wholeness.
Of this piece I agree with the others above that I wouldn’t change a thing. I find this sentence worthy of note:
“I Am of this One Mind”
For if you had left out the word “of” you could delete your last sentence and the series would be over.
But that is not our intent here. -
Yes, and the reason I put the last line as is becomes clearer after reading part VI. Twas done this way by design...
-
I'm glad you're reading this, Toltec. It is a work in progress, perhaps, and I wanted to ask you to read it, simply to get your input, but was hesitant to do so because of how narcissistic is sounds. I would simply love any critiques and criticisms designed to improve it. So feel free to give any, and no worries about me feeling offended. I've had this idea in my head for quite awhile now and desire it to be "perfect."
So all help is deeply appreciated!
Peace
doug
-
Yes! Nice start here. I can see ACIM influence too. You have said it perfectly. Here in lies the "piece" of God. Nice touch my spiritual brother.
