I AM AN OMNIST: THEREFORE, I AM MY OWN UNIVERSE!
I AM AN OMNIST: THEREFORE,
I AM MY OWN UNIVERSE!
Everyone is brought up to believe in something. Some of us are Christians, Jewish, Buddhist,
or even Atheists. For some our beliefs
are sancrosant, and for others not so much so. You could say that as humans we are prone to
believe something.
Ultimately we chose what we believe in based on our family upbringing,
the community in which we are raised and, now more than ever, the information
we gather from the world around us. What
if instead of believing in one religion or way of thinking, you believe in all
of them? Then my friend, you are an
Omnist.
The term’s earliest usage was in the 1839 long poem “FESTUS” by English
Poet, Phillip J. Bailey: “I am an
omnist, and believe in all religions”.
In recent years the term has reemerged due to some people’s desire to
redefine it for todays society. Instead
of “belief in all religions” it has been modified to “the belief that all
religions are relevant.” That all
religions have core truths and comonalities that reflect the nature of our reality.
To be fair, Omnism isn’t a theology, it neither says there is a God, nor
denies God’s existense. It is, in
essence, a believe in equality. It
allows the individual to determine their own understanding of reality, yet with
a firm system of values. An Omnist
agrees to never judge another for their beliefs because within them lies the
seed of all truth. It is possible to be
a Christian Omnist, a Jewish Omnist, a Muslim Omnist, or Buddhist Omnist. Since there is no Church, or congregation it
is difficult to know just how many onmists are out there.
The Omnist standard provides the clearest definition. “As an Omnist, the world and the universe,
are literally yours to interpret how you see fit, using the eyes of all
beliefs, to visualize understanding and communication. Love and wisdom. Posibilities and inevitabilities.
As an Omnist, “You Are Your Own Universe.”
“I AM AN OMNIST, THEREFORE I
AM MY OWN UNIVESE”
