    Never boxed infinity. I have wrestled with it a few times.

    And 60 years later, here you are. Were there enough food coupons?

    An understanding that there is no separation between me and everything else.

    No mention of God in this explanation. Why aren't you simply a part of nature?

    I'm part of something much larger. Also, what is nature?

    Larger than nature? Nature encompasses everything.

    You're not separate from nature, not an independent creature?

    The opposite of God? Remember the recalcitrant Angel !
    In fact, if we look at any scripture, it becomes clear that there were and still are many gods in the human mind for which no evidence exists, except as displayed in the behavior of a single family of species, the Hominidae.

    Not god so much but a being .

    Intelligence is beyond just periodic table elements .

    Intelligence uses what is available in the enviroment to manifest forms of life .

    I follow that line of thinking but for motivated intent.

    Pseudo-intelligence can be creative and that does not require sentient motivation, which IMO is the greatest stumbling block in the spiritual approach.

    We have evidence that pseudo-intelligence can be creative, without intent. We have no evidence that creation requires the other.

    The devil might be the doubt that separates people from God and from each other. Possibly?

    Nope. Not an independent creation. We are all part of long ancient process.

    I used to say that God and the universe/nature are one in the same. But that just confused people. The word "god" carries too much baggage with it.
