Who is a deity?

Topics: deity, WHO
The concept of deities in the science of Spirituality is best explained with an analogy. Have you ever wondered why there are myriad colours in the world when we have only three primary colours i.e. red, blue and yellow?
We know that various permutations and combinations of the three primary colours lead to so many new colours.
So also though God is one, He manifests in various ways to perform the various individual functions in the Universe. In order to perform the various functions in the Universe, God manifests in five primary principles. They are:
*Creation: Everything is created
*Sustenance: Everything that is created is sustained
*Dissolution: Everything that is created and sustained is destroyed
*Multiplicity: God is in everything
*Bliss: The quality of God is supreme and everlasting happiness
These five primary principles combine with each other in myriad ways to give millions of unique aspects of God to perform various functions in the Universe. For example, there is an aspect of God that facilitates learning, teaching, protecting, health etc. According to the science of Spirituality each such aspect of God has a form and is known as a deity. There are a total of 330 million deities, each having their unique role in the Universe.

[Have you ever wondered why there are myriad colours in the world when we have only three primary colours i.e. red, blue and yellow?]
That has to do with how our eyes function. What we perceive as color is actually light with a certain wavelength. Wavelength (in meters) times frequency (in Hertz, or cycles per second) equals the speed of light; so there's no known limit on either variable (you can get infinitely close with either).
The reason for our current visible spectrum has to do with the properties of Hydrogen, the fact that our sun emits mostly a "yellow" light (the middle primary color), and the fact that our atmosphere is seemingly "transparent" due to the properties of the gases that make it up. Oxygen doesn't absorb visible light, but it does absorb gamma rays. That's why our range of vision is so limited.-
lol, someday will let you meet one of those 330 deities !
that wud be ok, u will see and believe ! -
There is no reason to believe that any of them even exist.
-
you havent seen any one of them doesnt mean they dont exist ! -
That we don't know they exist doesn't mean they do, either. We're back to square one.
There is no evidence for the existence of any deity, so why assume that they DO exist? When you assume, you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me." -
for info, you must knw that i dont speak this out of ignorance ! i see and i say ! in this inner world , things are different... every thing is too secret, outer sheath that we see of so called spiritual people trying to teach something to others ! out of many only few are true to what they say..
im not saying im a master or something, just an explorer till now -
looks like you havent met somebody as me yet, im still a child in spiritual realms but maybe have seen more than you
-
That was barely comprehensible. I suggest you spend more time typing out your responses, because your grammar is terrible and seems rushed.
If you cannot provide any evidence that indicates the existence of any of these deities, then your assertion that they exist is just that: Assertion. An empty assertion is unconvincing.
[looks like you havent met somebody as me yet, im still a child in spiritual realms but maybe have seen more than you]
Ah, there it is: The air of superiority that is often associated with people who have strong religious or spiritual beliefs. -
Dude, gimme what you smoking cuz I gotta check it out if you know what I mean Blade.
-
-
well, just to clear you attempts... im only allowed if im permissioned and if the receiver isnt with faith, it will harm me back for real... for eg - a small three lettered word can be used for sleep, it can even put sleepless insomanic people to a good sleep , i have used it plus faced consequences telling to the faithless! no more mistakes, eh...
edited - ego or superiority airs just demolish the base of spiritual attainments , if u havent knwn.. being superior or something wont matter !-
I'm not going to even try to translate that into English.
-
its a post for general discussion if anybody's into knowing what's a deity, im not her to share anything restricted tc
-
Restricted? What the hell restricts you from explaining the reasoning behind an assertion? You know, other than the complete and utter lack of evidence.
-
just shared what's a deity if somebody doesnt knw, people can share what they form defination of 'deity'... not into sharing what is restricted to give ! im not a master , so i dont give it ! and if u wanna experiment, i will come to those terms soon !
-
You said:
[Have you ever wondered why there are myriad colours in the world when we have only three primary colours i.e. red, blue and yellow?]
I answered this with a logical explanation, based on my limited knowledge of optics and atomic theory. -
voodooKobra, im never in fight mode with you, i always love to read your answers, quite appealing but im still a child in spirituality, there have been and are people too high in spiritual realms ! wud love to share out someday !
-
[wud love to share out someday !]
How about right now? You can start with the evidence and move onto the logic.
[im never in fight mode with you]
This isn't a fight, it's a discussion. -
evidence, lol... as far as im done, if u wud have been near me, i would have showed you many things ! the direct kind of sharing needs me to be at some authority ( it isnt somebody who gives it, it develops with time onto practice , that's a different thing )... how about just the stuff that we can share ! well, shud we start a new thread " discussion between blade & voodoo" , what do u say... cant keep on talking over different things in same thread !
-
If I read that correctly (which I probably didn't), you're saying you only have evidence for me if I'm gullible enough to believe it?
-
///evidence for something you wanna see - can show you only if we're facing each other for real
.
///evidence for something you want to see right now which you yourself classify no matter how far or close you live - i aint a master !
.
///evidence for something that u are able to do yourself - can give only to the ones with faith, for giving to faithless will harm me itself and wont work for you... even the source from where i receive restricted it to be shared by anyone , i have no authority as a master or something
.
///just shared what's a deity if somebody doesnt knw, people can share what they form defination of 'deity' ... this is what this thread is for !
.
ANYTHING ELSE ????

I think someone put everything in motion for sure. Here are even better arguments.
Why are things certain colors? Why not pink grass? Purple grass? Black grass? Because it does not look good that color. It looks better green.
Why not 3 arms and 3 eyes? Because 2 looks better, it is more even than 3 is.
Why don't people stink like animals? Because nobody would date us if we did and want to be around us.
Just some examples. I always use these things as proof to me that everything was dsigned this way because it is better this way.-
[Because it does not look good that color. It looks better green.]
Or, perhaps, green light is the product of a Doppler shift or some other effect of photosynthesis in plants?
[Why not 3 arms and 3 eyes? Because two looks better, it is more even than 3 is.]
Natural selection. There's an advantage to having a symmetric body, and 3 would throw off the symmetry. This is evident in that every species of animal larger than a bacteria has symmetry.
[Why don't people stink like animals? Because nobody would date us if we did.]
Actually, we do stink like animals. We bathe and apply all kinds of chemicals that mask it to us, but there are scents we give off that we do not perceive. A dog, for instance, might smell us as just another animal.

-
But if everything worked out this way just by luck, how come luck didn't make grass a weird color? You get my point?
-
It didn't happen "by luck." Natural selection is the opposite of chance. An advantageous adaptation increases the likelihood of survival, but even then it isn't perfect. That's why wildebeest aren't faster than cheetahs.
Also, "weird" is a subjective term and "color" is purely a human perception. If aliens came from another planet, our grass might very well be blue to them.

The sky also looks better blue than other colors like brown, purple, or a neon color that would hurt our eyes.
Also, snow looks best white. It wouldn't look good green, purple, orange...
I used this argument online since I had the internet. I like to know what others think. To me this is designed this way.-
That's not because the sky was designed to fit our eyes, but our eyes were adapted to the environment.
Check out the History Channel's show, Evolve. They had an episode on Eyes last week. My explanations might get a bit technical, so that show will definitely be advantageous for you to watch.
They're airing an episode on the digestive tract tonight at 10 PM in the Eastern USA.

Is this a correct representation of our world's land (barring the exclusion of Antarctica)? Why or why not?
Spoiler: If you said it is incorrect, you are exhibiting Northern Hemisphere bias. -
I know the causes of all these things. I read a lot on science and astronomy. But the fact that it WORKED OUT this way is hard to believe.
It is like if someone is told to paint something. They painted everything in a way where the colors are all perfect.-
[But the fact that it WORKED OUT this way is hard to believe.]
What's hard to believe about it? There is no "leap of faith" required in order to understand the world-- there is a logical, factual explanation for everything.
"Snow looks best white" is an opinion.
What's hard for ME to believe is a creator. Suppose the whole universe was the creation of an intelligent creature. Where did this intelligent creature come from, and why does the evidence not indicate its existence?

A darker color snow though would not look right. It would make the outside look darker.
It has been fun! I did this online many times since the 1990s. I can make hundreds of these things.
Have a good week.-
[A darker color snow though would not look right. It would make the outside look darker.]
So? Who honestly cares how snow looks? If it looked different, your opinion would not be the same as it is now. Snow is made from water, and water reflects more light than coal does. This has to do with the properties of Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon. Where does the need for a designer come in?
[It has been fun! I did this online many times since the 1990s. I can make hundreds of these things.]
And I can demonstrate that all of "these things" do not constitute evidence; either factual or logical.

On the topic of community building I say that we BC members are mature adults, who ought to be able to ascertain when posting over and over again on religious topics that they are only well received by a handful of community members. We ought to know that adults are not going to be converted via online discussion and that many will be utterly peeved to see this forum turning into a soapbox for amateur evangelists.
Keeping in mind that this forum is provided for the purpose of creating relationships and goodwill between bloggers, and the fact that posting religious topics tends to create divisiveness bad will among bloggers may give one pause to reconsider how to become a community builder.
Anyone can form a religious studies, bible study or prayer group or group of any other kind at BC by clicking this link www.blogcatalog.com/groups/popular/ I invite you to do so. Thanks, in advance, for listening.-
