G'Day from Greg

Hi Greg - thanks for joining us. It's great to have you. The site is only new and between christmas, work, assignments and a few other personal things that have been happening - I haven't been updating a lot lately. But I'm getting back to normal now.

Wow - you have done a lot of jobs in your life - I've only done a few - admin monstly, but did a little bit of bush regeneration and a few weeks in the Arnotts biscuit factory (night shift - couldn't hack it! lol)

I haven't read Tomorrow's God yet - but it's in my pile to read. Out of the ones I've read so far, I especially liked CwG books 1 & 3 and Home with God.

I like how before you explain your beliefs - you state they may change tomorrow - it's so true - and very important to stay open - as they say, "there is nothing constant in this world, except change"

I share your current view of "God" - as not being a separate entity as such. And I like the bible verse to explain it - I am a lover of comparitive religion and often quote from all different sacred texts that do not normally get used to explain the things that I see them explaining (does that make sense?)

I am also a moderator on OM Online Ashram (http://spiritualmessenger.forumotion.com) - and am quite often on there - as we don't have many members here yet - so I can be found there too.

Namaste and Blessings to you and hope to get to know you better.

Glenda (Akindra is my spiritual name)

My name is Greg and I live on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. (SE part of Australia).

I have worked in many occupations including Building, Sales, Grocery Delivery, Fruit Picking, Photographer, Film Making, Audio Engineer (Radio, Film and Music), Tour Manager in Music Industry from Rock Bands to Opera and Ballet, Teaching and Karate School Management.

My interests in life include Music, Photography, Travel/Sightseeing and Martial Arts.

I retain a strong interest in Philosophy and Spiritual Awareness and Growth, which has always been important in my life. I find Neale Donald Walsch’s books very interesting.
Tomorrow’s God especially captured my attention.

My changing views on spirituality are to seek meaning for life in the new millennium that makes sense within the framework of our current understanding of the cosmos.

My religious tradition was Buddhism then traditional Christianity with a delving into New Age during the 80's.

So then, my current belief on this God thing? (which may of course change tomorrow in growth) - I can respect and understand the need of many to externalize some being called God, making Him/Her a Jew, Muslim, Christian or New Age Energy Field. But I think it is more accurate to see God as a universal aspect of potential human consciousness which rises up and merges with our other human parts to make us unique beings in the cosmos, Humans. What exists beyond our psyche, in the realm of Ultimate reality, I have no clue. Many have tried to tell me by appealing to their books and personal revelations; but all I see are human accounts of the universal subterranean well of God which is in all people in all places. This fount will always emerge, outlasting all organized religions and theological explanations.

I peronally believe it will continue to rise up, bringing with it unspeakable joy, love and peace. Jesus referred to this underground fountain in the Gospel of John when he said, "On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, 'If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.' By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive." John 7

I welcome free discussion on any matters of spiritual thoughts, especially Neale Donald Walsch’s concepts or just even share on our conversations with this mystery called God in everyday life that Walsch has expressed so well.

I look forward to interacting with you all.

- Greg
