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”
