I started a Skool community because I was searching for a community that didn’t seem to exist. A community for people living with dogs who feel big, think deeply, and don’t fit inside obedience-class boxes. My Skool: Oh My Dog Collective - https://www.skool.com/oh-my-dog-collective-2227/about?ref=ff9423e32f6644f0825dfda54b86aa3d Not a training hub. Not “quick fixes.” A place where we slow down, ask better questions, and learn alongside the dog in front of us. Stories. Experiments. Breakthroughs. Messy middle moments. If your dog has layers, and you do too, you’ll fit. We’re small, real, human. No authority posturing, no perfection. Just people trying to do right by their dogs. People willing to unlearn what they thought they knew. People willing to think differently. Drop your link below if you run a dog-related Skool or have a resource worth sharing. I want to build a network of minds who value curiosity over certainty. 🐾 Stevi + Eclipse (cute pics of Eclipse for attention)

Answer: Thank you for your intriguing question, especially the plural form of gods — by using the plural form, you’ve already done something significant to the more traditional form of God. Your question is also very interesting because of the words “our own” — the focus isn’t necessarily on the questionable or dubious existence of gods, but on the fact that we do exist, and the issue is how to understand the nature of our existence — are we in fact the creators themselves as opposed to merely “creatures” as depicted in the traditional scriptures. My short answer is more positive than negative with caveats: yes, we’re our own gods because we’re a form of energy just like any possible god that can exist — whatever exists can only be a form of energy, possessing the power to be and to transform. If you pursue this logical reasoning to the bottom, you’ll end up where Spinoza found himself: since everyone and everything is their own gods by virtue of being a form of energy, it follows that the all-encompassing energy becomes the real almighty one, the most powerful — the only powerful — concept. That’s why Spinoza ultimately equated God with Nature. A positive answer to your question carries important implications: it actually negates the traditional notion of the supernatural and transcendental God, and in the meantime it affirms the often-neglected powerful (“godly”) nature of humanity with corresponding responsibilities. Thanks again for your great question — a wonderful way to start the journey of discovering how Nature exists eternally in a self-sustaining and self-explanatory manner, with humanity as an integral part of it. https://www.skool.com/physicscosmologyspirituality-5660/are-we-our-own-gods?p=e76ee413

My community is called “Physics/Cosmology/Spirituality”, and it can be equally called “Religion/Science/Spirituality”. Link below. At the core of what I hope to share with the world is the holy grail of physics, or the theory of everything, which I published as an ebook in 2019 entitled A Rotating Universe. My first two posts in the community — the only content there now — offers more background information. I’m still in the process of figuring out how to arrange and post other content (ie “teaching materials” or “textbooks”). Charging people a fee for any reason is such a tricky business. In the ideal world I often imagine, I should offer everything I have for free, and certain people will fight me and force me to accept what they can contribute for the sake of advancing human evolution.
