Remember what I said about the ALL? Hermes Trimegistus said:
God is the ALL, HE is the ABSOLUTE, HE can not be divided. And if HE can not be divided, how do we exist? The answer is simple we exist in HIS mind, we are a product of HIS mind, therefore in the mind He can create anything from nothing.
We were made in HIS image; so we too can create in our minds a whole new world, out of nothing.
Like a Matrix.
Hermes Trismegistus may never have existed; however some things are attributed to him. Among those words attributed to him none mention God. You have manipulated to achieve the result you desire and that is dishonest. "The ALL is MIND. The Universe is Mental" does not say "God" or "He".
"The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding." — The Kybalion.
1.THE ALL must be ALL that REALLY IS. There can be nothing existing outside of THE ALL, else THE ALL would not be THE ALL.
2.THE ALL must be INFINITE, for there is nothing else to define, confine, bound, limit or restrict THE ALL. It must be Infinite in Time, or ETERNAL, — it must have always continuously existed, for there is nothing else to have ever created it, and something can never evolve from nothing, and if it had ever "not been," even for a moment, it would not "be" now, — it must continuously exist forever, for there is nothing to destroy it, and it can never "not-be," even for a moment, because something can never become nothing. It must be Infinite in Space — it must be Everywhere, for there is no place outside of THE ALL — it cannot be otherwise than continuous in Space, without break, cessation, separation, or interruption, for there is nothing to break, separate, or interrupt its continuity, and nothing with which to "fill in the gaps." It must be Infinite in Power, or Absolute, for there is nothing to limit, restrict, restrain, confine, disturb or condition it — it is subject to no other Power, for there is no other Power.
3.THE ALL must be IMMUTABLE, or not subject to change in its real nature, for there is nothing to work changes upon it; nothing into which it could change, nor from which it could have changed. It cannot be added to nor subtracted from; increased nor diminished; nor become greater or lesser in any respect whatsoever. It must have always been, and must always remain, just what it is now — THE ALL — there has never been, is not now, and never will be, anything else into which it can change.
THE ALL being Infinite, Absolute, Eternal and Unchangeable it must follow that anything finite, changeable, fleeting, and conditioned cannot be THE ALL. And as there is Nothing outside of THE ALL, in Reality, then any and all such finite things must be as Nothing in Reality
-- Notice that the use of all is in capital letters. Establishing that THE ALL is something or someone.
You are quoting me as saying things I did not say. My quote consisted entirely of the following: "Hermes Trismegistus may never have existed: however some things are attributed to him. Among those words attributed to him none mention God. You have manipulated to achieve the result you desire and that is dishonest. 'The ALL is MIND. The Universe is Mental' does not say 'God' or 'He'".
The rest of the post is from you and you continue to attempt to manipulate and have avoided honestly responding to my post and admitting that Hermes Trisgmegistus did not use the words "God" or "He". I have read "The Kybalion". Perhaps you should reread it. Time will tell whether you have the integrity to admit that you distorted the words of Hermes Trisgmegistus to include the words "God" and "He".
I did add the word God. But I'm not distorting the words, what is written in the Kybalion is up to interpretation. Like I said before, the use of capital letters in the text imply that Hermes was talking about something bigger than what our mind can understand.
- According to the Kybalion, yes I'm wrong I cannot say God, because as soon as I use the word god, I'm establishing a limit. And HE is LIMITLESS.
You want proof of GOD existence? I surely tell you there is no scientific way of knowing. If that is what you are looking for.
You are looking in the wrong direction, you need to look inside you. I personally believe in the existence of a HIGHER BEING (call it whatever you want), I have had various personal experiences without even trying to (no praying, no meditation, no astral travel), just happen.
In one occasion I was talking a preacher friend of mine, during the conversation he told me to "look out for God". I told him "is useless to look out for God, people loose their time searching for something they won't find. God is already within us, we only need to listen.
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
Your silly proselytizing convinces no one. Your claim to have morals confuses no one. You intentionally falsified the words attributed to Hermes Trismegistus to include "God" and "He". Your lack of integrity shines through your B. S. like a stadium light through fog.
i can tell you what it says in the word. death is the proof it will be too late to gather the faith one needs once they know for sure they need it. when the vail is lifted it will be too late. just look at verses about the coverings of earth.

can you answer the title question then?

As all things are derived from the One Only Thing, by the will and by the word of the One Only One who created it in His Mind, so all things owe their existence to this Unity by the order of Nature, and can be improved by Adaptation to that Mind.

Just having fun.
But basically that's what is saying.

you got it. the goal is to know before you die because after is too late. imagine turning yourself into a place for people to live and then when they get there they rail on about how you do not exist and shouting give me proof. make your self whole again and show yourself to me. it makes me wonder if somewhere inside those people they just want death for everyone.
i agree that there is no shortage of fuel for non belief and all we have is the word of the lord and we have to muster faith to believe. For every thing i would point you to as evidence there is a contridicting belief.
serious question are you here because you want to believe or you want to not believe?

everything you said is your fuel and without it you would have an easier time hearing me.
That day will not come unless you first open up and start to fully see both sides. it is like a man trying to get knocked up. you weigh every proof by science and some form of accepted reason. starting out that way will not work. you have to let go for a moment of that you are already convinced of. only then will the other picture form.
from your view now every thing some would call a miricle could be duplicated by science and thereby giving fuel to the thought that it is not a miricle. if all the world heard god's voice right now you would show how it could be done by us also.
your battle is inside yourself and not in those who believe. if you are serious with me then go without food and forms of sex for 3 full days and then monitor yourself in the coming weeks and you will feel a change.

I hear you. I find you very unconvincing.
