Is this a bad depiction of God?
Please read entire description before commenting.
The following statements can be found in Dr. Hawkins' third book in
the trilogy *I /Reality &
Subjectivity* , Chapter 10 - entitled "The Nature of God".
1. God is both manifest as the Totality and Allness of Creation and
simultaneously unmanifest as the Godhead, the Infinite Potentiality
and source or 'voidness' prior to form.
2. God is infinite beyond time or depictions of space or locality,
without beginning or end.
3. God is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient.
4. God is the source and substrate of consciousness, awareness,
knowingness, and sentience.
5. God is the sole source of the energy of life.
6. God is the source of evolution and Creation, which are one and
the same.
7. God is the source and presence of peace, love, stillness, and
beauty.
8. God is beyond all universes and materiality, yet is the source of
All That Is.
9. God is the sole source of existence and the potentiality of
beingness.
10. God is the ultimate context of which the universe and all
existence is the content.
11. God is the a priori formless source of existance within all form.
12. God is not within the province of the provable or the intellect.
13. God is the source and essence of the subjective state of "I-
ness" called Enlightenment.
14. God is the radical subjectivity of Self-realization.
15. God is descriptively immanent and transcendent.
16. The human experience of the Presence of God is the same in all
ages, all cultures, and all localities.
17. The effect on human consciousness of the experience of the
Presence of God is subjectively transformative and identical
throughout human history. It leaves a timeless mark that is
verifiable as a calibration of a recorded level of consciousness.
18. The essence of God does not include human frailties, such as
partiality, the desire to control, favoratism, duality,
judgementalism, wrath, righteous anger, resentment, limitation,
arbitrariness, vanity, revenge, jealousy, retaliation, vunerability,
or locality.
19. The variabilities of the depictions of Divinity reflect the
variabilities of human perception and the projections of the
impediments of the ego and its positionalities.
20. The purity of the Presence of God is traditionally the essence
of the ineffable quality of holiness and is the basis for the
depictive term "sacred". That which is devoid of content is the
equivalent of Innocence.
21. When the obstacles of human mentation, emotionality, and the
ego's structures from which they are derived are transcended, the
Self as God Immanent shines forth of its own accord, just as the sun
shines forth when the clouds are removed.
22. God is the context and source of the karmic unity of all
Creation, beyond all perceptual descriptions or limitations, such as
time or space.
23. Truth is verifiable only by identity with it and not by knowing
about it.
The name is not Dawkins or Steven Hawkings, it is Dr. David R. Hawkins. And he is accepted world wide by many cultures and religious orders as an Enlightened Mystic.

I loved it all.
Number's 3 and 18...are the ones that I try and remember on a consistant basis.
Not to minimalize, at all, the other ones.
Yes, I believe it gives an accurate depiction of God.

This is the view of nondualistic Hinduism, some aspects can be implied to be Buddhist as well and it also falls in line with Hermetic and Neoplatonic thought. It is not new ideology. It is the stance generally taken and realized by those following mystical forms of spirituality.
Thanks for presenting it, though, and referencing its source.

Sounds pretty accurate, although I'm sure Dawkins goes on to add the most important detail.
God is Imaginary.
Dawkins is a militant atheist, and comes off as a ****head most times. I can sort of understand his anger though - since nonsensical religious beliefs are still so widespread, and widely accepted despite having no basis in reality.
