• Universal Blog: Can One Believe in both Christ and Muhammad?

  

  This past weekend was the last weekend before Christmas, but since I’m single and presently  don’t have anyone on my “gift list”, I didn’t want to be out with the crowds so I spent some quality time with my computer, and updated some of the many websites on the AllThingsMike webhub. I redesigned The Universal Blog, a Blogger enterprise I put online in June of 2003. I haven’t really concentrated much on any of my “old blogs” since I started WhenWordsCollide,  but since then Blogger has changed some things and I had noticed the addition of the “comments” feature, so I spent a little time designing the new logo (above) and I have written a couple of new entries for the site.

  The “Universal Blog” is the next step for me in writing the final Book in the “Books of the Realizations” series I put online as part of the “Universe of Coincidence” section on my original AllThingsMike Philosophy Page. The “Philosophy” section would have featured the “Universal Theory of Existence”, my panthiestic essays about religion and philosophy, and I completed the first five “chapters” of the “Books of the Realization” in 1999. The first five “Books” which I have posted on writing groups, and which are some of the first pages I ever FTP’d online, detail a “personal history of discovery” before finally setting forth some of the dogmas and beliefs I harbor concerning the Universal Mind, which are slowly being written and posted on the “Universal Blog.” I haven’t yet “announced” this section on WhenWordsCollide since this is the first time I’ve added an entry in a while, but there has always been a link in the Links section to the site, and I have “directed” a couple of my readers to check it out.

  At the risk of sounding “blasphemous” , especially to Christian readers, I don’t “flaunt” my “theories” or “prophecies” that much, but they are a part of me, and I would be remiss in “preaching” at least a little, after all, becauss the name of my website is, in fact, AllThingsMike, and my beliefs form a major part of my life.

  Here is an entry from January 2004, and is the “introductory entry” to which I usually direct readers. I someone who is reading this Xanga entry finds my concept, which certainly isn’t a new one, and forms the basis of many “new age” beliefs, interesting, I would appreciate a “comment” on one of the entries on the other blogsite, now that I have initiated the feature.

  January 31, 2004: MFNyiri: “Can one believe in Muhammad, Christ, or any one diety, and believe in the teachings of another as well? Isn’t this blasphemy?” I preach conventional blasphemy. For some terrible reason, our history has always favored one diety over another, depending upon “who’s in charge.” This is to the detriment of the populace at large, who usually have to worship the current God in Favor. The major prophets were all channelling the godhead. I believe the prophets themselves were blessed. It is the historical unraveling of thier basic tenets which has caused the ultimate rift in mankind. I truly believe that Jesus Christ, upon which the major religion of Christianity is based, Muhammad, upon whom the faith of Islam has it’s benchmark, Buddah, or Sri Krsna, and a wealth of other similarly enlightened prophets were endowed with spiritual epiphanies. The Universal Truth is that these tenets, these great teachings, have been bastardized and circumvented thoughout the ages of man to correspond to the whims of the ruling party. I was raised Christian, and I still believe in Jesus Christ. I believe in the teachings of Muhammad as well, although I don’t practice the “law” of any religion. I believe “the law” is ultimately the reinterpretation of the secular concerns of the ruling kings, rewritten into the scholarly books of the bibles in order to subjugate humanity. I’ve never been babtized, but I was raised a Baptist. I don’t bow to Mecca six times a day. I don’t practice Yoga. I exist, and I postulate, and I wonder. When I wonder, I almost feel as if some spiritual presence is visiting me, and letting me know that I don’t have to wonder about whether I am correctly following the Law of Religion. Faith in the Universal Mind ultimately lets me know that it is man who is writing the law, and that when I die, and truly pass through the portals of the Universal Mind, that is when my “soul” joins the billions and billions of other souls in the Spriitual Universe, and that is when I will Know For Certain that I am right, and I didn’t have to worry, or wonder, all along. The Universal Blog is the doorway to the Universal Mind. An instant is an eon. A leaf is a tree. A rock is a world. A mind is all minds. Forever. Through history. Through space. Through time. Forever. Now.
