Dear Krishtar
I am of irish/english stock. My ex is Portuguese from Lisbon.
The Borg are one of many species featured in Star Trek - Deep Space Nine.
For over 2000 years most religions have pushed a "personal god" to keep thedevotees in fear of punishment. At the core of every great religion is the inner that was brought by the Founder, but most religions have totally lost the inner now, and even claim their God is more powerful than other people's God, attrocities are committed in God's name, as a political and moraljustification for murder.
Things are changing though, over half the world's population now holds a philosophy of Karma and Reincarnation and a divine source (non personal) thatwe all share. Things will change quickly, look how far we have come in the last 200 years.
For most people, it is very scary to let go of the KNOWN (the personal god belief) to grab a hold of THE UNKNOWN (a god within us). And through fear they rattle the tambourine that defends their God and their belief system, labelling anyone outside of it, athiest or worse. Keep the faith and keep searching for answers.

Hi Cass
Are you from Portugal or Brasil?
1.First of all, I apologise for my ignorance of the expression "the borg". What is it?
2. The quote you included I am aware of too, I agree with it, mine was justa comment on how things are nowadays, I know that all that is happening isbut part of the divine plan but a cold reading of it sometimes makes me feel worried about the destiny of mankindīs spirituality in this life time of mine!! Many manvantaras will pass though for Man notice the divine inside as a whole.

Dear Krishtar
We are different from "the Borg" because we have free will.
To quote Theosophy
The whole Cosmos is guided by an endless heirarchy. Every entity lives its life in the sphere of a greater being. Every member of the Heirarchy is linked together. Every being or every entity is part of the Divine Plan.
Our common origin in in Eternal matter - one infinite mind from which all ideas emanate.
Universe is therefore the result of the manifestation or appearance of intelligent and semi intelligent forces. This inner government is fulfilling a divine plan - evolution. (spiritual)
All that occurs is the self realization of the Logos (The Absolute, or SAT)revealing itself stage by stage and all forms of life and consciousness are related to each other in a ladder of evolution. The higher on the evolutionary ladder the more of the Logos is revealed.
And all follow a Divine Plan, the laws of which I can give you if you are interested.

Hi Friend
Though I havenīt read this book which I own in an electronic Spanish version, I have a closely view but not that we are invent-ING, build-ING up a God.
I gess that amost totality of humankind has already DONE it for centuries...
One good example are the visions of God in the Bible through the lips of the ancient psychic whom many call prophets, always antropomorphizing Him.
When one tries to prove by reasoning an explanation of a non-personal God, one is labeled atheist by those who have this antropomorphized view.
The most popular vision of God in the globe is still this way.

I have run across several books that advocate that we, humanity, are in theprocess of "creating God" in some way. Have any of you seen this anywhere?I found it in "The Urantia Book" where it talks about "The Supreme Being" and also in Harold Percival's "Thinking and Destiny." (Both are available free on the net. I can furnish the URLs if necessary) I guess the theory is that as we collectively progress in an evolutionary way, we bind together to create a "super Being" of some sort. Note that this is not the Mormon doctrine where we each become Gods, but an evolutionary idea where we are collectively "God". This sounds almost like "The Borg" of scifi fame. Have any of you heard of this or does anyone else advocate it? I'm fascinated by this concept.
