Theists and Atheists are describing the Same Reality Differently

God|Theist|Atheist|Morality|Humanity

The theists insist on the existence of God.The atheists deny the

existence of God.

The theists and atheists are like the six blind men trying to describe an
elephant. One is saying that the elephant is like the pillar because he is
only touching the legs of the elephant. Another blind man is saying the
elephants like a fan because he is only touching the ear of the elephant.
The theist and atheist are similarly describing only one part of the total
reality.
Creation| Evolution|Consciousness| Black Hole| Universal
Consciousness

The first question is that how did creation take place. My

understanding is that originally only consciousness was existing. Since it
alone was existing we may call it Universal Consciousness. That
consciousness itself evolved into matter. It may be like the creation of
universe from the Black Hole. We do not know how that happened but
we do know that it did happen.

The theists say that the creation of the universe from the Black Hole or
from the Universal Consciousness was driven by God. God made matter
out of the Black Hole or the Universal Consciousness. Let us think how
this mat have happened. A vast spread of the Universal Consciousness
alone existed. Some point or component part of that vast Universal
Consciousnessmay have evolved into matterout of its own self-effort to
start the creation of the Universe.

We suggest that the particular component part of the Universal

Consciousness evolved itself just as an infant starts to crawl itself or the
seed begins to sprout itself since there was nothing other than
Universal Consciousness at that time. The theists personify that
Component Part of the Universal Consciousness as “God.” Thus they
say that God created the Universe. They could just as well say that the
Component Part of the Universal Consciousness created the Universe.
Let us think of a parliament. What the Prime Minister says is considered
to be the will of the house. But, obviously, there 500 Members of
Parliament and they are all thinking differently. Yet, their collective
thought is reflected in the thinking of the Prime Minister. Similarly in
the vast Universal Consciousness, there may be a particular high point
like the Prime Minister which triggered this creation of matter from
consciousness. That high point of the Universal Consciousness is called
God by the theists. Therefore, the theists are right that “God,” i.e. the
high point in the Universal Consciousness created the Universe.

At the same time, the atheistssay that there is nothing beyond the
Black Hole or the Universal Consciousness. Therefore, there is no “God”
who created the Universe.They are right. There is indeed no external
power that created the universe. The component part of the Universal
Consciousness that triggered creation was part of the Universal
Consciousness and was not an external God.

Thus, the division between the theists and atheists resolves itself if we
say that a Component Part of the Universal Consciousness triggered the
creation of the Universe. This Component Part is called “God” by the
theists and “not God” by the atheists.
Creation| Complexity| Evolution| External| Internal

The second point is regarding complexity that will see in the world.
Every component part of the Black Hole or the Universal Consciousness
had the freedom to evolve into matter. Among them a particular
Component Part of the Universal Consciousness started to evolve into
matter.Other component parts followed once the creation was
triggered. They interacted with each other and they have become
complex over billions of years.
The theists say that the interaction between the different components
parts of the Universal Consciousness was driven by God. But what is
God? God is that Component Part of the Universal Consciousness which
is, let us say, most advanced and which leads the others. Different
Component Parts evolved to different levels over time. These became
the lesser gods. Just have we have Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed
at different point of time, similarly are many Component Parts of the
Universal Consciousness that stand high above the rest. The theists are
right that the high pointor God propelled the Components Parts of the
Universal Consciousness to interact and become more complex.
The atheist describes the same phenomenon differently. They say that
the high point in the vast Universal Consciousnessthat propelled the
components parts of the Universal Consciousness to interact with each
other and become more complex over time are internal to the
Universal Consciousness. The high point is not external to the Universal
Consciousness, hence there is no God.

Human Beings| Conflicts| Mutual Understanding

The time has come for us to understand that we are all human beings
who have the same Universal Consciousness within all of us. We should
not get into unnecessary conflicts on the question of existence or non-
existence of God. The same phenomenon is described in different ways
by the theists and atheists. We must establish mutual understanding
between the theists and the atheists and get rid of this kind of conflicts.
