What If-------- Ernest Tamminga

This book is controversial because it deals with the concept that God is Consciousness. It is controversial for those who believe in an anthropomorphic Deity who/which is "up there" in heaven. It is controversial for agnostics who believe that the existence of "God" cannot be proven. It is controversial for Gnostics who believe that the existence of an anthropomorphic "God" -or any of the hundreds of other names for "God" -can be proven. It presents a case for those who are for or against deleting the word God from the national pledge of allegiance."Consciousness" as used herein includes all applications of the word, including ego, self, sub, super, Cosmic, non, and "un," not just the human self-consciousness. Einstein's famous equation says energy is matter. Spinoza said mind is matter. If "mind" and "consciousness" are the same, then we can deduce that Consciousness and matter are One, and therefore God, mind, matter, and Consciousness are One. Jesus, then, in addressing the "Father" is addressing that Consciousness within himselfAnd this doesn't begin to address how all of this relates to the scriptural advice to not seek outside ourselves but to turn within to the kingdom of God.
