Re: God Is an "It"
God is pure spirit (without shape or form). Spirit is that which animates. Incomprehensible, inscrutable. Attributes: intelligence, wisdom, knowledge, beauty, love, justice, foundation, power, strength.... which don't necessarily designate benevolence. To me, god is everything else nothing at all... the beauty & the beast and THAT is a hard nut to crack, ya think?
Apparently "we" believe there is One Ultimate Creator, the big kahunga right? which implies an entity? And I have always had a hard time conceptualizing this attribution of "it", THE god, being an entity because that brings to mind that there is an "outside" to "it".
There IS something I call God (though I'm about sick of that word myself, prefer Great Spirit) that is operational, that I attune to, that causes synchronicities, epiphanies, that feeling of being ALIVE which is what I think we are after, that of insight, growth, meaning, purpose, vibrancy.
God reveals and conceals... God is hidden right under our noses, within & without us. And there are forces, negative influences, infiltrative, even thoughts that pop in (like where did THAT come from kinda thing)... nature is both beautiful and frightening.... yawnnnnnnnnnnnn...I'm going to bed now, that 1/3 of life spent in what's called sleep only to arise in a dream called awake.
I'm getting to know ArchAngel Michael, a personification. Nite nite!
