    at this current juncture, no.
    i do not believe in any sort of higher consciousness other than what exists as a result of order in chaos.
    i do not believe in heaven and hell, in eternal life, or reincarnation.
    i believe that life after death is the same as life before birth.
    i do not believe in souls.
    i believe each life-form and object in the universe is the result of a long and complex chain of processes, chemical, physical, and energetic.
    i do however believe in non-point-source/non-kinetic energy, and that meta-physics are as close to explanations of "god" as man will ever get, although the things we experience through our sensory receptors are the actual moments of realization, not proofs of theorems, and those things are virtually ungraspable by our own conscious minds.

    i do believe there are as many paths to "god" as there are people, and that each of us has god within, if "god" is defined as a supernatural force which effects our mortal bodies and lives, but that is the extent of my belief. it is more a force of energy than any kind of cognizant being.

    from 'the power of one' by bryce courtenay:

    "...in this world are very few things made from logic alone. It is illogical for a man to be too logical. Some things we must just let stand. The mystery is more important than any possible explanation. The searcher after truth must search with humanity. Ruthless logic is the sign of a limited mind. The truth can only add to the sum of what you know, while a harmless mystery left unexplored often adds to the meaning of life. When a truth is not so important, it is better left as a mystery."

    I believe in a prime creator. Which some might call God. I belive it is neither He or She, yet it is both masculine and feminine. As it is Everything. Though if it were to take a gender role I would say that is would be Feminine because women are the creators of life.

    I believe their are beings with vast knowlege of this reality, much more than us humans, and that they have interacted with humans of earlier ages. Those humans refered to these beings as gods. Some benevolent, acting with the love frequency, and uplifting humans. Others more malevolent, using fear to exert control over humans. I belive that they still are to this day. Each of them. Only not in the open and the gods of fear are in control.

    We are breaking free of this control. Burning man is a sign of that to me.

    I think that heaven and hell are right here, and in our minds. I feel, have felt, that there is a bright light of existance beyond our current comprehension. There is also a darkness of lowest vibrations. Then there is the void.

    I believe that there are a large group of souls here and coming in to break this paradigm of control. Reincarnating, learning, raising frequency of humas and the planet to one of love. Christ, Buddha, Krishna, and many other may have all been one being reincarnating to teach us higher ideals.

    I believe strongly in the Spirit which dwells in all things. It talks to me and guides me along my path, Many native american cultures have a keen grasp of this.

    I belive that time is not only linear, but also cyclical and a figment of our own minds used to explore this reality. If we are all a physical proccess strated into motion by the big bang then every atom and molocule will cycle through every possibility on an infinite timeline. That said. If time were not linear, and every instant happened at once, then everything would no longer be seperated. All would be one. That is a concept of God I enjoy,

    I believe in Goddess and God. Goddess existing as the universal constant of change. Birthing and dying. Becoming. God existing as the state of being. The seed for the next change.

    I belive that we exist the experience this reality, each from our unique perspective, so existance can understand itself. Every variation from every perspective possible.
    As Leary put it:
    "Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is mearely energy condensed to a slow vibration. we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is but a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves..."

    A paradox of this mind I find in thinking that we are all one and each a seperate individual at the same instant. Though I belive it to be true it defys logic. I feel that everything, not always making sense, makes sense. Call it faith. And faith, to me, is trust without reservation.
