BoduosHow we belief in gods and shape our worldview depends on the deeper understanding on the term god, in the #monotheistic traditions alike the #polytheistic traditions. God.dess can be understood in various ways, for example:
#Gods as subjects
The deities are entities with #conciousness and awareness. They are like super-beings with needs and deeds and they have passions and feelings.
This deities were understood often in an #anthropomorphic, that means humanshaped, form with humanshaped desires and needs which is described on the top layer of #mythology, for example the #hellenic gods eat. They have affairs, they mate with each other and humans and they appear to them in a humanshaped form and they demand offerings
#Gods of the #Philosophers
#Aristoteles had thought about all things, objects, matter, beeing in movement. And for they are in movement there has to be something that has moved them but for this this something has to be also moved. To start te whole cosmic cascade he argued that there must be once a unmoved first mover.
The god of the philosophers can be understand as the first cause of all things which started the universe maybe with purpose, maybe with a cause.
#Gods of the mystics
The gods of the mystics are embedded within the materia amd the processes. They can best expierienced to gain #esoteric knowledge of them and not learned #exoteric.
This are the gods of the #Animist's and the #Shamen.
They are entities, forces, spirits which lie within the things or spoken modern the gods which are emerging of the matter, the pattern around us, the conciousness between the gaps of reality.
The universal god is the god pantheism. Everything is god, all around us und we are also because we are part of it. To be is to feel god and to feel is to be a part if god.
Every stone, every being every substance is part of a greater unity and has its purpose and aim.
