Thanks for the kind words, GUT. I do think that the ID hypothesis has merit to it, and deserves its own forum. I feel that ID hypothesis hugely impacts all 8 of the now existing forums under the "Mysterious Subjects" group heading, as well as several forums in the conspiracy group, including this one, "Aliens and UFOs".
Another note on this forum, Aliens and UFOs, it has the advantage of featuring the popular and iconic grey alien head, which may have a type of built-in allure, helping to boost the signal of threads started here.

No problem bro. Im a bit prickly and an acquired taste.
Btw you are right. There is no difference between true mysticism and true physics. They are one and the same thing.

I have enjoyed reading parts of this thread, but a major part keeps getting side tracked with 'trickster this' and 'trickster that, which seems to me to really be focusing on a most likely irrelevant or minor aspect.
One mans trickster is anothers demon, is anothers satan, etc. etc.
What if we're not dealing with some magical, mystical force here, but we are the force? And the control group is just trying to keep us from realizing what our unconscious mind knows, and is capable of?
Let one man say he saw a UFO with alligator/octopus looking creatures flying it, plaster it on the news, let a couple of more sightings get publicized, with a 'credible' witness voucher, or a researcher saying 'it's possible', and I suspect that's what the UFO of the future might become.
(See haw easy it was to leave satan, trickster, et al out of it? AND I didn't give you a giant wall of text on my own personal beliefs!)

Now, in this view you would have a God who has created this reality with the intent of becoming a part of it himself. He would mostly do this to pass the time (being alone and in thought form for all eternity is boring). So BANG the Universe is born as a thought form of the divine. In it all requisites for life are coded in with the idea that God's consciousness will be divided indefinitely to experience this reality.
The caveat is that each individual in this thought exercise will not know the true nature of their own being. Therefore checks and balances will be put in place to keep us off balance.
Enter the trickster

But will God also keep a bit of 'consciousness' for (or as) him/her 'self'? Will He/She have developed a personality after who knows how much time since beginning to divide?
Will God (as an individual 'self'/personality') decide to have the experience of 'being' God to all the individual bits of 'self'-conscious parts that are dividing into individual experiences?
Is the trickster part of God?

Those are some damn good questions. I don't have the answer, and the answer is important because it will define our limitations.
I like to think that the creator is totally immersed and not individualistic at all because it gives you and I more power.

Also, this defines the trickster as a purely human creation and we need to start looking for the MEDIUM the trickster uses to manifest.
I'm the opposite…I want God to have kept an individual 'self' and retained full power to 'create', so that if things go too far down the toilet, He/She/It can 'reach in' and create a miracle - perhaps even do some 're'-creating…the ultimate do over

nope you had it right the first time.
I can prove it too.
I'm a loon and I'm part of him.
