God= Immortal+Ability to control the physical realm

Eh. Maybe. Norse says you're wrong though.


Well all the Gods in the Mythologies I've seen have at least Some ability to do this
As to imortal-Its not the "I can't die" mortality its the "Age won't kill me" mortality

I don't feel like dredging what I know of norse mythology up to argue this point


What you're talking about is everlasting life then, not immortality.

Well your immortal till something figures out how to kill you

If you have control over the physical realm and everything that comes near you I don't think you'll have much of a problem there

The only reason something is seen as a god is because it has Stayed alive. It has lasted centuries without aging dying changing
Not that it can't be Destroyed. Then... you do have to wonder if the spirit can ever be truly destroyed as long as it wishes to exist

and all being have influence over physicality

In truth all that being a god is supporting these illusions in the minds of your followers. Seeming to be these things which are innate yet unattainable lol

Unattainable?

We'll see.

I think the term "God" is a pretty loose term -- the way I see it, Luminor is kind of like Jesus -- a mortal man with godly powers. I mean, Jesus aged, Jesus suffered, Jesus didn't just warp reality so he could always get what he wanted, he took what he got in order to demonstrate, teach, and advance himself. He was powerful, though, and that made him Godlike. Then there's that quirky thing about him actually being God, but let's ignore that for now.

Speaking of power and longevity -- the Comte de Saint Germain was pretty powerful, /and/ he claimed immortality. He and other Ascended Masters seem to be pretty godlike, but very few of them are worshipped (or, indeed, known about, it seems).

Being immortal means you CANNOT die, in any way, shape or form.

well rocks are immortal then
Are spirits subject to death? are rocks? Do yo loose mass then regain it?

And what Type of Death? I mean I could through metaphysical means and way too much effort then I would ever be willing to take on, retain life. I could, given full knowledge of all functioning and structure of my body, sustain my body by recreating any structures which might have broken down. If I had enough will my will could animate a piece of something and bring that to life by having my will go through it.

What is life? What is death? what is the illusion of life and death and what is the reality of it?

But whatever trying to teach my boyfriend magic

Bein like Jesus wouldn't be too bad, as long as I don't get a lot of assholes telling me what I do and do not think. ******** that.

I don't really like Acended Masters, it just seems another New Age catch-all for ideas that they make tired and old, and I'm startin new. I'll consider it good if I can't really be categorized.

You have to become 100% lightbody. there are a whole bunch of initiations, but you have to die before you finish the whole thing. Once you've finished it learning what ever skills will be a cake walk and you won't have to use a physical vessel. You will remember stuff. The way I know has to do with higher chakras. there are like a thousand or so people over the history of the earth who have done it. of course their names are interpreted with a culture.

Lightbody? And if I have to die to get it done, then obviously I'm gonna try a different way.
