This probably will make little or no sense, but here goes anyway...
The Entirety created the universe as we know it. Some people say there are different strings or many universes each with its own God .. I really don't care if it is true or not because anything is possible within the entirety, in reality the Entirety is beyond my mind to comprehend. Yet there are fragments of my beliefs that can be examined.
The idea of the Entirely is to escape from the common concept that God and the human population are totally separate, the idea of a God that is totally separated from the universe that he created. I have yet to find a satisfactory answer to "Who and where is God?" The answers I do get seem to be just so much babble that is designed to add confusion to the question with out really answering it. There have been other muggled answers but it seems that no one within the religious communities want to give the answer "I really don't know." To them apparently the answer of "It is a divine mystery is a better answer." is far better. You hear a lot of the "divine mystery" within the Roman Catholic church in which I was raised.
What I have found out is either beliefs are growing and expanding or they are dying. I personally want a faith that grows and has the ability to expand, not one that is rigid and not yielding.
As for divine mysteries the question always pops up n my mind "What does God have to hide?" Mysteries are to be explored and solved. Spirituality is an experience to be lived. The variety can be infinite in nature. I have met several people with experiences similar to mine, they are each unique and special. You can stop after any one of those experiences and have an extremely rich spiritual life. Most people do just that, others after one experience run off preaching hell fire and brimstone, leaving me wondering just what their experience was, or those that run off wanting to heal everyone. Don't get me wrong healing can be very very real and that type of energy is there, but what is presented reminds me of a song verse 'Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz , my friends all have Porches and I must make amends!'. Then again we live in a very gimme world so what can I expect.
The name 'Entirety' comes from trying to find an existing word that best defines my vision of what I conceive God to be and not have it tainted by other predefined definitions. The only word at this point I have found is 'the Entirety'. A simple word that encompasses everything, whether I understand it or not. So the word Entirety encompasses all that said to be God and then beyond.
Now the Entirety is everything that is physical spiritual and beyond, leaving nothing out. Now our soul and bodies are just simply part of the entirety. As for trying to explain the concept it is beyond me. There are a whole lot of questions in this realm to which the only answer I know is I don't know. So you are running up against the I don't know.. maybe someday someone will be able to answer those questions,, They are a one step at a time thing. That has been my personal experience with spirituality is a step at a time as I would not be able to handle it all at once. Spirituality has to be able to grow and expand.
Please realize I am though a follower of Jesus first of many brothers. In saying that I am not a paulist because he dogma and doctrine wrong, they destroy the teachings and spirituality of Master Jesus.
The Entirety concept frees everything from dogma and doctrine of churches. The idea is to understand the relationship between myself and the Entirety. It seems churches do everything they can do to prevent that relationship.
Looking at the Entirety from the stand point of the mandala or wheel of life. Each soul is looking for its location within that Mandala. It is only recently that the soul has been making sense or at least starting to.
I have several stories similar in nature to my own but they make little difference as the point is only that often times I see things from a different view point hopefully giving an insight as to why. My world has transformed to a world where the Entirety has become the center of my universe. The truth is I don't want the Entirety any place else the center of my universe. Funny he truly is the center of the universe and so much more.
The dual nature of man is very interesting. Oddly most churches believe in the spirit side and say there is the soul. From there they talk about heaven and hell with a whole lot of condemnation and fear used to control the human side. Giving all importance to the physical side, ignoring the spiritual side. You see the ignoring of the spiritual side in the form of greed.. murder especially with out conscious thought or care.. everyone is responsible for their actions and failure to act. The Teachings of the different religions are really creating a dangerous world for the existence of the soul.
Joking around in a discussion I made a comment that maybe we are spiritual Zombies, only to find out later that there is an islamic group that has a very idea as I was looking at the idea, we have often discussed the duality of man being both soul and spirit. Now if a person starts looking at the soul and its preexistence before being born. Then that in reality makes the body a vehicle for the soul. That raises the question what is it a vehicle for or just what is its purpose.
Now in reality we are spiritual beings, just like what the christian world refers to as angels. Becoming human is a choice. The Entirety give us the ability to chose and improve our status on the great mandala or as it is known in christianity as heaven and earth. Every soul knows what is required of it to improve its status in the spiritual realm and upon entering the human vehicle it essentially loses its memory of the realm from which it originated. In the human vehicle it needs to learn that it is a spiritual being and how it responds determines the status, Oddly there is an ancient law that simply states 'above all do no harm' and there are many ways of doing harm, in today's world there are many ways that no one even blinks at any more. People have become blind to the rest of the world and what effects their actions have on the rest of the population.
In the roman rite of christianity there is prayer when you are asking forgiveness that goes "in what I have done and what I have failed to do." and the failed to do in this world is a spiritual killer. The excuse there is nothing I can do never really holds true. Politicians that are raping the the country for personal gain and that of their buddies. If you are voting for them you are saying that okay I approve of your actions keep up the good work. When they remove support for the elderly and poor in favor of their war machine and killing. When you buy stock in companies that are raping the earths minerals and resources. or industries that are robbing people to put better their financial interest.. sometimes in activity or not doing or saying something is just as damaging to the soul. A person can go on for volumes and that is what the churches have done - obey the volumes of laws and rules.
Personally I think that if people realized the effect that their actions have on their soul the world would change.. like a lot of things it seems that everything is backward,, the importance is stressed on the human vehicle rather that the soul that it contains. This makes no sense as the human form last less than 125 years in the greatest majority of cases, then it returns to dust and the soul is resurrected back into the spiritual realm to find out if it improved its status in the great mandala.
Which is more important.
