God's Mind

By David VanLandingham

The God's Mind describes a God that truly meets the definition of Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Infinite.

The Christian God is too small. The human mind cannot imagine the extent of his limitless power. Most religions subscribe to these principles. Yet common perception falls short. God is often thought of as a talisman. He is portrayed with human characteristics like a kindly or vengeful grandfather. He is assigned a gender. He created only one people, one habitable planet. He seems to be offended easily. What he has determined to happen can by undone by evil humans. He has a powerful opposing spiritual force.

God's knowledge is so complete and powerful that everything in our universe, in the multiverse, is the result. All matter emanates from the God's Mind. The universe is a product of the mind of God and not a physical reality. There is no need for a physical universe. God conceives and maintains every possible form of existence through His thoughts.

The Mind of God

The problem I have always had with Christianity and the other major religions is that their God is too small.

Most religions will define their God by these four essentials:

›  Omniscient[1],

›  Omnipotent[2],

›  Omnipresent[3] and

›  Infinite[4].

Yet common perception falls short. God is often thought of as a talisman. He is portrayed with human characteristics like a kindly or vengeful grandfather. His image and likeness is similar to humans. He is assigned a gender. He is called father and, rarely, mother. He created only one people, one habitable planet. He seems to be offended easily. What he has determined to happen can by undone by evil humans. He has a powerful opposing spiritual force.

I contend that if God is truly all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present and infinite we must reject the impression of a physical being and a physical world. If the Mind of God, his all encompassing knowledge, is omnipotent and omnipresent he is not a physical entity and there is no need for a physical universe. If he is ALL then there can be no limitations to any of his qualities.

The Mind of God is everything. His knowledge is so all consuming that our universe is wholly contained in His Mind. He visualizes every possible physical element, object, force and system from inception to termination. His visualization is so comprehensive that it would be indistinguishable from a physical reality if one existed and is the one we think we perceive.

Then, since God demonstrates that consciousness can exist outside a physical universe and the spiritual, not the physical, is the essence of existence, we must redefine consciousness. Some would call it the soul, some, the spirit but I will refer to it as consciousness. It exists even in the absence of a physical universe. It exists as more than a physical object. It is not just a product of God’s mind, it is His mind. God is so powerful that He is simultaneously the mind of every conscious life form throughout the multiverse[5]. God envisions a life form and mentally lives that life.  His knowledge is so complete that every conscious life will exist in this manner. His power is so great that he can be a separate consciousness independent of his total self for the length of time necessary to fully understand the essence, potential and life of
