Could the Biblical God be same as All-Pervasive Brahman of the Hindus?

The Biblical understanding is that God is a power that is external to us, so to say, standing above us and guiding us from the outside. The Hindus, on the other hand, hold that God or Brahman is all pervasive. God is within- as well as without us. God is a continuum of consciousness that includes us as well. Genesis 1-9 is consistent with the Hindu concept of God as Collective Consciousness.<br>

  1. Could The Biblical God Be Same As All- Pervasive Brahman Of The Hindus? Could God be the Collective Consciousness of all living beings? The Biblical understanding is that God is a power external to us, so to say, standing above us and guiding us from the outside. The Hindus, on the other hand, say that Brahman (or God) is all pervasive. He is both within and without us. He can be thought of as Collective Consciousness of all beings. My study shows that the narrative of creation in Genesis 1-9 is consistent with the Hindu concept of God or Brahman being our all- pervasive Collective Consciousness. We discuss these verses to consider this possibility. “1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth:” Comment: In the beginning the Collective Consciousness divided itself into Consciousness and Matter. I may be like precipitation of a cloud into vapor and water. “1:2 Now the earth was without shape and empty:” Comment: The matter that was precipitated was without shape. It was something like water vapor in space. “…and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep:” Comment: The “watery deep” is often understood as H2O water, maybe like an ocean. However, Strong’s translates the Hebrew word paniym <06440> as “before and behind, toward, in front of, forward, formerly, from beforetime, before…” These meanings suggest that the watery deep was Matter (without shape). “but the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water:” Comment: The Collective Consciousness was moving intermingled with the Matter. Maybe like an airplane within the cloud or a spacecraft in ether. 1:3-5 God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light! God saw that the light was good, so God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” Comment: The interaction of Collective Consciousness and Matter produced light. Ancient people rubbed two pieces of wood to produce fire. Maybe something like that happened when the airplane like Collective Consciousness rubbed in the Matter.

So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. It was so:” Figure 2: Light was created by the rubbing of Collective Consciousness with the matter-without-shape

  3. Comment: The Matter or God or Brahman separated into dense and sparse matter— something like the vapor differentiating into vapor in the cloud (dense) and vapor around the cloud (sparse). The Hebrew word for “expanse” is raqiya` <07549>. It is derived from the Hebrew word raqa` <07554>, which means “pound the earth (as a sign of passion).” This suggests that the Collective Consciousness pounded the Matter into two distinct parts. Figure 3: Collective Consciousness pounded the matter-without- shape into two distinct parts like a cloud separating into two. 1:8-10 God called the expanse sky. God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place and let dry ground appear.” It was so. God called the dry ground “land” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” God saw that it was good. Comment: The sparse matter between the two dense matter was called sky. (One of the dense) matter—the earth—in turn, separated into dry ground and the liquid seas. The Biblical understanding of God as described in these verses appears to be consistent with the Hindu concept of Brahman being the all-pervasive Collective Consciousness. The Consciousness of every living being is connected with the consciousness every other living being. This consciousness is like a huge web with

Figure 4: The interconnected web of Consciousness is personified as God.
