Maybe I'm delusional but I'm still trying to answer the question. So far, what I have, is God, if it exists, is not as it has been portrayed by Judeo-Christian thought. It (maybe) resides in a plastic state, or maybe like marble, where there is a shape in the block, but it's form is brought to fruition by reason and intent. Since no object comes about as a result of a non-cause, I must infer cause even where no cause is evident.
Now, intelligence is harder to identify or to codify. There seems to be so many kinds and their connections seem to exist anywhere it is possible. The whole of the universe seems to work that way. So, hmmm, what am I to make of that? I don't know, but it clearly ain't a grey bearded man in the clouds. THAT doesn't work for me.
I have Hermetic leanings because I seem to work magic in my world and my work (I can't yet see myself adding the "k" to magick - too touchy feely!!). I'm also leaning toward animism because so many things happen in my life that seem to be "meaningful coincidence". Or, that nature has a peculiar sense of humor. Or a sense of the ironic. Or that there seems to be a Gaia force on the planet. Are these all fashionings of my mind? Dunno. |
