Greetings
Why am I here?
I became a member of this forum because it gives me the opportunity to examine the position of Agnosticism and currently consider my position an Agnostic-Theist-non Religionist.
I have been an active member of a Christian debate forum for many years and joined that group specifically because it had a fair mix of skeptic and Christian members and I saw it as a great place to test my theories based on my subjective experience, to see if either Christians or Skeptics could debunk what I had to offer.
After many years and going through a few cycles I have come to the conclusion that what I had to offer was unable to be debunked.
Now I turn to my fellow Agnostics.
Can Agnosticism debunk my theories?
If not, then I can drop the word Agnostic from my position and fully embrace Theistic Thinking as aligned with my subjective experience.
For now, my confirmation bias is Theistic.
I lean toward accepting the following;
We exist within a creation.
While that implies a creator, it is presently unknown as to the makeup of such an entity. Also, existing within a creation does not just imply one creator.
The creation is the game-board.
Life-forms are the players.
We are involved in Role-Play.
While we experience individuality, we are nonetheless an aspect of a Team-Entity, some who are on this side of the game, and others who play the game from outside of the game.
At the source, we are all connected, but we could not play the game if we were fully conscious of that reality.
One of the effects of The Game is to create personalities - characters - avatars et al....the creation of individual persons is largely the roll of those Team Members outside of The Game - viewing the game on many levels rather than on just the level of individual awareness of being a human. Thus the gameboard is seen as an object from outside of said object.
Why the game appears to be so real is because it was designed for that purpose.
There is no good or evil intention on the part of the game-creator/creators in the designing and activating of the game. All concepts of G&E are created by the avatars playing rolls within The Game.
Another game is created as a ripple-effect of this game in that human imagination instigates the formation of 'worlds' which can be experienced by the individual personality created in the first game, when he exits this game and enters the next. These human-imagined creations can be experienced as real, by the imagineer.
There are levels within the human created games which eventually merge with the greater reality of the players who created and oversee the first game-board.
An individual personality can advance through levels of the human imagination gameboard worlds and reconnect with their Team. Their Team is with them always as they continually track the individuals progress.
The Team are individuate Eternal Entitles who have never not existed. Individual humans are the same [in essence] but have chosen to put on the costume of form the game provides and play within the game. This involves having to completely let go of all prior knowledge of ever having existed.
I could go on, but I think the picture I am presenting is complete enough to be coherent.
Cheers
William
