That is rather PRESUMPTUOUS of you, wouldn’t you agree, Slave? Presumption is evil, because when one is PRESUMPTUOUS, one makes a judgement about a matter, despite having insufficient facts to support one’s position.
This is excellent, thank you. God without form is said by many people to be LIKE the light of pure awareness. You can’t see it any more than the eye can see itself. So it can’t be described- things that are made of matter can be described, and emotions and thoughts that are epiphenomenal to matter can be described. But the consciousness in which they appear cannot be described. God without form is like that but comprising all of existence. That’s what I understand from what I’ve read and heard.
I love this interview, not just for the wisdom and insights of Huston, but also, and perhaps moreso, for the respect shown to Huston. So Great! The search for greater understanding of God is an exercise we should we should approach with humility. We should seek to better understand God as He is revealed to us. This is an exercise in humility. Seeking to know something unknowable is an exercise in pride. Remember that the desire for the knowledge of the tree of life led to the downfall of man. This was an exercise in pride. We cannot possibly ever fully comprehend the creator of the universe.
He absolutely nailed it with symbol and metaphor to describe god. The name of god is everywhere. The recent book: “Eye of God: Language of Universal Mind” shows that the language of god is everything-everything is symbolic, and spends 100 pages to unpack the “gods aphorism” of just the human eye. I literally can’t even believe this interview it’s so synchronistic. I think the reason god isn’t not this, not that, we look at reading. The meaning is not the word, not the combination of words, but something indicated behind the words brought into unity. We have 5 senses, and in unifying them in reference to a “duck” so to speak, we can be sure there’s a duck. In reference to the knowable and the unknowable, mind is a traveler-with symbol and logic, our minds can enter the sun. With symbol and logic, god enters us-in meaning which is always invisible but the largest part of the environment of mind. ❤ I literally know that humanity is entering a new era with this book, you will never look at your own eyes the same way again. Thanks for this illuminating interview.😊❤
@@JagadguruSvamiVegananda The unification of the world's religions becomes possible if: God is consciousness, and consciousness is fundamental and casual resides in the quantum field, prior to the wave to particle transition. My own guess is that the most fundamental laws of our local universe must arise so as to allow consciousness and free will to exist. Mathematics is the language of science and science is the poetry of reality. My guess is that the portion of mathematics describing consciousness resides in the dimensions provided by imaginary numbers. Nobody has ever seen the many worlds postulated by the world's top physicists and philosophers, but everyone imagines these possible future and past possibilities in their conscious everyday ruminations.
@@JagadguruSvamiVegananda I believe that the fundamental laws of our universe must allow for consciousness and free will to exist based upon my observation of the existence of these attributes. My guess is that the mysteries at the heart of quantum mechanics arise from this requirement. I believe that God is consciousness, and that consciousness is the quantum wave function. Without consciousness god and free will could not exist. Search the universe high and low and where you find consciousness, there you find eternity's most precious landscape. The big bang and the physical universe arises out of the quantum field. I believe that the quantum field governs this universe, god is consciousness, and consciousness is the quantum field. Therefore universal consciousness governs this universe.
@@JagadguruSvamiVegananda In recent articles in Entropy and Scientific American, the google quantum computing group discusses possible experimentation to explore the link between quantum superposition and consciousness. 1) Entropy "Testing the Conjecture That Quantum Processes Create Conscious Experience" and 2) Scientific American, "Experiments Prepare to Test Whether Consciousness Arises from Quantum Weirdness" Both papers are available to read with open access free on the web. My guess is that free will resides in the wave to particle transition.
@@Ekam-Sat Everything arises from the universal quantum wave and is believed to be the source of consciousness. Without consciousness, god could not exist. God is consciousness, and is the source from which all emerges.
God is that which allows for everything. God is the ear on the other end of the metaphorical line when you talk to God in prayer or in your thoughts. God celebrates with you and grieves with you. God is the silent voice that tells you when you are doing something wrong. God is the ennui one feels at the end of the day. God is the heartbreak one feels when your life is at an end. God is hope and trust and faith.
@@NeuroScienticianThe monsters lay within us friend. Free-will is our liberation and our undoing. God has nothing to do with it other than letting be who we are.
A conceptual wild goose chase. You won't find God inside your head. Only your heart can fathom it. There is no separation between man and God. God is an inner realisation that stems from the heart.
For Soler, to understand God is to embrace His role as the eternal balance, the savior, and the judge, ensuring that creation continues in harmony with His will.
The Mandelbrot set vs Julia set vs the anti sets( sets of the iterative function which do go to infinity). Fatou iteration-disconnected.

Seeking God is the coolest and it's all i do, but, to do this properly this requires the greatest of prerequisites, i.e., the only sacrifice acceptable to God is the giving up of ones ego. How else is one to become reborn? Even if it becomes a life long journeys it is still worth it. It's either seek the mystery(which is God) or place some man as the ideal. Doesn't matter if it's scriptures, science, theology, field theory, mysticism, metaphysics, arithmetics, mathematics, poetry, etc. same thing. I'm not bragging - but, if one identifies with Islam, Christianity or science or whatever....that person hasn't gotten very far. There is a God aka Primordial Cause, the Cause of all causes, and it is your divine birth right to realize this. Be man enough to leave the group and really ask yourself, to sit down with yourself without any outside influence. There's something that is unbegotten, always was, always will be, is absolute, all powerful, all wise,....seek that. There are very good books to study, and once there was a time if people studied them they would be hurt for doing such. Don't let these men die in vain. Be a man. Think for yourself. Apply your own God given intellects!
Interesting. The definition of God, is related directly to the advancement of humanity’s knowledge. At first, thousands of years ago, when people didn’t know much, except for tribal stories and the nearby environment, the god was a territorial one. Then, when communes started meeting each other, they didn’t over ruled each other’s god, but made one of them prime to the other gods, as the head of a pantheon of gods. Usually the most influential territory would get their god as head of the pantheon, and it changed through time according to the changes the territory went through. Then, when people started knowing a little bit more about the cycle of nature, and about the planet, they started believing in one god that is the head of it all. In the 15th century, in Copernicus and Galileo’s time, when we realized we are not the center of the universe, the definition of god went beyond our solar system.. Then, in 1915-1920 with Einstein theory of relativity, with Hubble’s discoveries about the expansion of the universe and with the discovery of the cosmic bake ground microwave radiation, the definition of god went closer to the Big Bang. Now, as the theory of a Multiverse begins to rise up, the definition of god went even there. So who is god? Knowledge, consciousness, intelligence, time, matter, energy, ourselves, our ideas, the universe, the multiverse.. and all what we will ever learn about it!
What is God Like according to Thomas Soler According to Soler, God is all knowing and powerful. God is perfect, loving and also vengeful. As above, so below. In other words, God is the administrator of the Universe to keep its balance or Yin and Yang. God is all mighty. God is the foundation of all. God is everywhere. God is the judge. God is the salvation. God is the saviour. God is just. God is all that there is.
Fractal. We are made in the image and likeness of God. We are not the kind of thing that is God. These are fractal. We are the likeness in consciousness, knowing ( limited to our own time and space/our own physical fractal) . God “ knows” us in leaving us… how we behave in God’s absence is what we are like. Words are toroidal. Thinking before physical communication. Understand why the brain is a Mandelbrot set complex morphology.
The almighty God cannot be here, see the omniscience-omnipotence paradox. God's absence is confirmed by Jesus who states "nobody has ever seen God" "the world has not known you". The omniscience-omnipotence paradox has its immediate solution by the fact that God simply commands "so be it" "but without me". That is, all God's actions embedded in that ONE future known to God shall AUTOMATICALLY be carried out by his power alone and God is free from any further work.
Isn't the cart being put before the epistemological horse? We have no established warrants to determine whether X exists or doesn't exist....therefore asking what is X like is essentially meaningless, unless X is treated like a unicorn, where we can given definitional predicates but cannot establish existence. We can ask whether X is used this way or that to fill in gaps or to aggregate moral and intellectual aspirations... but still X remains indeterminate.. until the existence of X is established. People have the habit of believing that the problem of the existence of God has been settled by the existence of religious traditions... but that is question begging. One cannot determine any predicates that apply to the existence of X until X has been shown to exist beyond speculation, deduction from first principles, tradition and wishful thinking.
What is God Like According to Thomas Soler? Thomas Soler offers a profound and complex understanding of God, portraying Him as the ultimate force of balance, justice, and creation. According to Soler, God embodies perfection and is both all-knowing and all-powerful, governing the universe with divine authority. Soler emphasizes that God is not merely a distant figure but the very foundation of existence. He describes God as omnipresent, existing everywhere and in everything, ensuring the universe maintains its equilibrium through the principle of As above, so below. This idea reflects God's role as the administrator of the cosmos, balancing light and darkness, good and evil-much like the harmony of Yin and Yang. God’s nature, as Soler sees it, is multifaceted. He is loving yet vengeful, merciful yet just. This duality underscores God’s perfection: a being who judges righteously while offering salvation to those who seek it. God is both the savior of humanity and the ultimate judge, holding individuals accountable for their actions. Soler asserts that God is almighty, the foundation of all that exists, and the source of all life. In his view, God is not only salvation but also the essence of existence itself-all that there is. This portrayal elevates God beyond human understanding, presenting Him as the infinite force sustaining the universe and guiding humanity toward divine justice and redemption. For Soler, to understand God is to embrace His role as the eternal balance, the savior, and the judge, ensuring that creation continues in harmony with His will.
The word “God” is a placeholder word for the people who can’t or refuse to admit to themselves “I don’t know”, leave it at that, and move on with their life.
Your post is a placeholder bunch of statements for people who can’t or refuse to admit that God exists and can be known. Your position is as much a position as the theistic position. You have a conclusion: You can’t know who God is. And this conclusion must be backed up with reasons. Agnosticism or atheism doesn’t allow you to escape the need for an argument for why you believe what you believe.
9:24 ... it's important as you've pointed out to understand if we want to understand God we you have to understand both parts the knowable part yeah and then the at least get a sense of the unknowable part because if we only see think about the knowable part we will not appreciate what the real supreme being is 9:48 HS: there is an important we can explain some people can some people cannot and it has to do with how comfortable people are with abstraction, concrete and abstract, concrete always has form and uh is you do not have a form then it's nothing C.S Lewis has one wonderful exmples of this he said when he his he was young his parents landed on him hard don't try to think of God without form because God is beyond all form and Lewis syas I tried and tried and tried to think of God without form and closest I could come 10:57 was the see of gray tapioca he was an exoteric if there's no form then there's nothing there the esoterics are comfortable with comfortable with asbstraction and they do find something there.
Simple. It's a social construct. Not to get into polytheism vs monotheism. More so you can ask them about things to see they have differences. Even brothers or sisters or twins in the same religious structure. The morphology over time, the telephone game and stories passed down. The net effects of various religions on societies. Or criminality of religions and judgment. Another part they miss is bias sets come with bias blindness. They want an afterlife without building one first. There is psychology that explains their delusion sets and illusions and bias sets. Some of that churn can be seen in areas of science. The whole manyworlds and quantum tubule as thought and such quantum crazyland stuff. I could go on and on, but really no point here. It's clear to see the bias sets being pushed.
A lot rambling. Lack details about God experiences. He believes math can NOT figure out God. Wrong absolutetly. Unpredictable consciousness show up a lot God definitions. Math is consequencies from unpredictable consciousness.
No, God is one of the two answers at the question "is reality/universe the product of an intelligent agent or not ?" so either answer is based on logic, speculation, knowledge ...
@@francesco5581 “is reality the product of an intelligent agent?” “God” That doesn’t really seem like a satisfying response to the question you’ve posed in any meaningful way.
@@asyetundetermined because the God idea you have is the specific one of religions. If a God exists its above religions and is the first conscious agent, the 1 instead of the 0. And we know for sure that the 0 never existed.
I like this guy's reference to the limits of language, often overlooked but of course the basis of much of Wittgenstein's work and perhaps more important than we give it credit.
"What is God Like?" Gods are like clay. Everybody can make up his own little clay puppet god in his head, and pretend it is the real deal. Gods are like pixies, elves, smurfs, dragons, kobolds, and what not. They all are just in the mind, but never in the reality of the real world. Figments of the feeble and needy mind, they are at best.
This question is an easy one to answer. As this video and comment section shows god can be whatever you make it up to be. That is the beauty of a fictional character.
I guess this is a bit comic for atheists to watch. Negative theology is the height of theological tomfoolery. The god of such theologians would be a non-entity. After all, if something exists, then it has properties/attributes of some kind that make it the kind of thing it is. You aren't bringing anything into the table by saying god is not that, nor that.
Everything is defined by what it is not. We determine what a thing is by circumscribing its potential and dimensionality. The dead giveaway that there is no concrete definition of a god is when it’s one of the lazy omni-varieties.
@asyetundetermined Nothing is defined by what it is not. You don't tell us what a thing is by telling what it is not. Some positive substance is required if you want to distinguish your proposal of X from the proposal of nothing at all.
@ that’s an interesting take. How would you know when you were done? For instance, I am a man of a certain height. Surely that height includes 5’9” but to say this isn’t sufficient. I give you my limit, the thing beyond which I cannot be - 6’4”. That’s how my height is defined, by what it is not. This is why the omnimax universal being type god characterizations are so useless. By attributing to this character all attributes, not one has actually been established. We could only ever know what this entity is or could be by defining its limits. The only way to do that is to know what it couldn’t be or couldn’t do.
God. A one-time mortal, next higher than Lord God ruler over all the people on earth, and in the lower heavens, for a season. Lord God. A one-time mortal, next higher than Lord, ruler over part of the people on earth and the lower heavens, for a season. Lord. A one-time mortal, ruler over part of the people on earth for a season. God said: I am, as any other spirit of the dead, a one-time man upon the earth, thy elder brother of tens of thousands of years' experience. Distinguish, then, that the twain God and The Creator are not the same one. No more is thy God than what thou shalt be in time to come, and all angels, the Gods and Lords and generals and captains and chiefs in heaven are but the brothers and sisters of mortals and the spirits of the dead; and none of these, however exalted, can create Life or Motion or an Individual or Person. These are from The Great Spirit, The Creator.
God is one of the two answers at the question "is reality/universe the product of an intelligent agent or not ?" ... so relax ... the question will always be there.
We exist here with other beings with our consciousness in a vast and mysterious universe. And since we can account for the fact that virtually everything we know comes from something else, I suspect there is a creator. I find it harder to believe that we and our universe came into existence out of some random event.
There is no honest and intelligible way to have this conversation in earnest. Props to the old man for admitting it’s all stories. He would have done well to have stopped himself at that point.

Now, as the theory of a Multiverse begins to rise up, the definition of god went even there.
So who is god? Knowledge, consciousness, intelligence, time, matter, energy, ourselves, our ideas, the universe, the multiverse.. and all what we will ever learn about it!
Depends very much which God we're talking about (while remembering that they have all been dreamed up by human-unkind).

9:24 ... it's important as you've pointed out to understand if we want to understand God we you have to understand both parts the knowable part yeah and then the at least get a sense of the unknowable part because if we only see think about the knowable part we will not appreciate what the real supreme being is 9:48 HS: there is an important we can explain some people can some people cannot and it has to do with how comfortable people are with abstraction, concrete and abstract, concrete always has form and uh is you do not have a form then it's nothing C.S Lewis has one wonderful exmples of this he said when he his he was young his parents landed on him hard don't try to think of God without form because God is beyond all form and Lewis syas I tried and tried and tried to think of God without form and closest I could come 10:57 was the see of gray tapioca he was an exoteric if there's no form then there's nothing there the esoterics are comfortable with comfortable with asbstraction and they do find something there.
He sounds like Emo Phillips.
Simple. It's a social construct. Not to get into polytheism vs monotheism. More so you can ask them about things to see they have differences. Even brothers or sisters or twins in the same religious structure. The morphology over time, the telephone game and stories passed down.
The net effects of various religions on societies. Or criminality of religions and judgment. Another part they miss is bias sets come with bias blindness. They want an afterlife without building one first. There is psychology that explains their delusion sets and illusions and bias sets. Some of that churn can be seen in areas of science. The whole manyworlds and quantum tubule as thought and such quantum crazyland stuff. I could go on and on, but really no point here. It's clear to see the bias sets being pushed.
My question is how much does god weigh? Does he have mass?
All mass is relative.
If he has mass, then he must be made of something. If so, what? 😮
@@browngreen933 All mass is absolute. Absolute meaning one.
A lot rambling. Lack details about God experiences. He believes math can NOT figure out God. Wrong absolutetly. Unpredictable consciousness show up a lot God definitions. Math is consequencies from unpredictable consciousness.
A figment of human imagination
Thank you
It’s exactly like that
No, God is one of the two answers at the question "is reality/universe the product of an intelligent agent or not ?" so either answer is based on logic, speculation, knowledge ...
@@francesco5581 “is reality the product of an intelligent agent?”
“God”
That doesn’t really seem like a satisfying response to the question you’ve posed in any meaningful way.
@@asyetundetermined because the God idea you have is the specific one of religions. If a God exists its above religions and is the first conscious agent, the 1 instead of the 0. And we know for sure that the 0 never existed.
I like this guy's reference to the limits of language, often overlooked but of course the basis of much of Wittgenstein's work and perhaps more important than we give it credit.
"What is God Like?"
Gods are like clay. Everybody can make up his own little clay puppet god in his head, and pretend it is the real deal.
Gods are like pixies, elves, smurfs, dragons, kobolds, and what not. They all are just in the mind, but never in the reality of the real world.
Figments of the feeble and needy mind, they are at best.
No, God is one of the two answers at the question "is reality/universe the product of an intelligent agent or not ?"
Not Gods. God. Singular.
This question is an easy one to answer. As this video and comment section shows god can be whatever you make it up to be. That is the beauty of a fictional character.
Big issue with this conversation: people always presuppose god then try to fit reality with that presupposition. Interesting logic sequence.
C. J. Lewis was close to the truth; God doesn't exist.
Yes HE does. God is existence. Reality in its totality.
@@Ekam-Sat According to your biased and flawed reasoning, God is a HE. Why does he need a penis? To screw over reality?
Oy vey!
I guess this is a bit comic for atheists to watch.
Negative theology is the height of theological tomfoolery. The god of such theologians would be a non-entity. After all, if something exists, then it has properties/attributes of some kind that make it the kind of thing it is. You aren't bringing anything into the table by saying god is not that, nor that.
Everything is defined by what it is not. We determine what a thing is by circumscribing its potential and dimensionality. The dead giveaway that there is no concrete definition of a god is when it’s one of the lazy omni-varieties.
@asyetundetermined Nothing is defined by what it is not. You don't tell us what a thing is by telling what it is not. Some positive substance is required if you want to distinguish your proposal of X from the proposal of nothing at all.
@ that’s an interesting take. How would you know when you were done? For instance, I am a man of a certain height. Surely that height includes 5’9” but to say this isn’t sufficient. I give you my limit, the thing beyond which I cannot be - 6’4”. That’s how my height is defined, by what it is not. This is why the omnimax universal being type god characterizations are so useless. By attributing to this character all attributes, not one has actually been established. We could only ever know what this entity is or could be by defining its limits. The only way to do that is to know what it couldn’t be or couldn’t do.

God. A one-time mortal, next higher than Lord God ruler over all the people on earth, and in the lower heavens, for a season.
Lord God. A one-time mortal, next higher than Lord, ruler over part of the people on earth and the lower heavens, for a season.
Lord. A one-time mortal, ruler over part of the people on earth for a season.
God said: I am, as any other spirit of the dead, a one-time man upon the earth, thy elder brother of tens of thousands of years' experience. Distinguish, then, that the twain God and The Creator are not the same one. No more is thy God than what thou shalt be in time to come, and all angels, the Gods and Lords and generals and captains and chiefs in heaven are but the brothers and sisters of mortals and the spirits of the dead; and none of these, however exalted, can create Life or Motion or an Individual or Person. These are from The Great Spirit, The Creator.
We have evidence for the macro universe and the micro universe. Meanwhile, every interpretation of every invented god is merely ignorantly human.
Micro and macro are one. This one is God.
He doesn't know anymore than anyone else. Everything he said was piffle.

Everyone stop beating around the bush. God is fiction. There are no gods and there never have been. Remove the word from your vocabulary
God is one of the two answers at the question "is reality/universe the product of an intelligent agent or not ?" ... so relax ... the question will always be there.
God is one. Everything is God.
We exist here with other beings with our consciousness in a vast and mysterious universe. And since we can account for the fact that virtually everything we know comes from something else, I suspect there is a creator. I find it harder to believe that we and our universe came into existence out of some random event.
@@Kritiker313 Yes.
And you are all knowing?
He spoke so much while saying very little.
God is indescribable because it's NOTHING.
There is no honest and intelligible way to have this conversation in earnest. Props to the old man for admitting it’s all stories. He would have done well to have stopped himself at that point.
Existence is a singularity. What it means is that the Big Bang is Singular.
