Okay so I belong to no organized religion though I follow the 8 fold path of Buddhism. There's this God character that keeps popping up with different names in these religions people keep following, and this archetype is protrayed as a masculine ruler of some paradise you go to after you die if you do his little parlor tricks.
I still believe in a creative conciousness that we all emerged from originally and are the experiencers for. In a sense, the God in my mind that I've felt the presence of during OOBEs and heavy dosages of psychedelic drugs, is the conciousness in everything, both creative and receptive, including me. It's a big self that denotes everything, absolutely everything, as one single life form.
The whole reason I'm doing this is because I heard the Hopi natives call God "Grandfather" and I thought it was the absolute shit but again it carries a masculine overtone that I don't like because it doesn't properly define this conscious root of our existence. I was thinking about calling it Ancestor but there's a lot more to it than that. What od you think would b e a better name that encompasses this all inclusive consciousness I believe in?
