GOD 


Any attempt to describe God will fall way short of whom God truly is. Can a pot ever define the potter? Can a painting define the artist?  Can one ever explain that which is unexplainable?  Can one ever understand that which cannot be understood?[1]   

God is the essence of all things, unreachable, unknowable, unattainable, and unnamable.  Some say they do know God, but how can anyone know Gods purpose for another, a nation, the World or the Heavens?  The best one can do is to try to understand the best they can for Gods will for themselves today, at this moment.  Anyone who says that they know, this person does not know, for it is the wise man who knows that they do not know that knows. 

For those who read this, my creator is whom I call God and I pray to God using the word Father because it brings me to a feeling of closeness with God and Jesus with my Christian upbringing as my understanding.  Other names given to my God include Yahweh, I Am, El, Jehovah, Krishna, and Allah to name just a few. With the thousands of languages in the world today, each language has their own word associated with the word, “God.”  In French it is “Dieu,” German it is “Gott,” Hebrew it is “Eloheem” and in Arabic it is “Allah.”  There are countless names given to the supreme God and Creator, yet no name can totally reflect whom God truly is.

 God is the essence, the source of energy within all creation, unmanifested and absolute, infinite and unlimited.  God is the only entity whose reason for existence is within Himself.  All creation is here to serve God alone.  In this way, God is perfect and the source for all love, truth, wisdom, and knowledge.  God's representation to mankind is that of a male form with our earthly understanding, which establishes love through authority, law, and judgment.  Yet in Gods unmanifested form, God is neither man nor woman.


Anything in ones own heart that opposes the love of God, including the love for someone you do not like or even hate, opposes God, for God Is Love, God is Truth, and the Truth is to Love. 

Any definition further than this would only move me closer to heresy.
