words fail. encapsulated understandings fail. positions fail. projections fail. rejections fail.

capturing GOD is like trying to capture air in a fish net.

Every religion in existence points to GOD. They can't help but....

But I feel we're a bit ahead of ourselves in this regard. You almost can't help but trip over all the multitude pointers toward GOD. But since GOD isn't a place, where do those pointers point?

My feeling is that they provide vectors which we can then follow for a time, in our explorations. And that's what we're here to do. Explore. Not be guided.

I see it as a tragic misunderstanding that one should assume that the vector points to a place one can arrive at. The journey is the thing. The learning is the thing. The experience is the thing. We're here to do. Not be told what to do.

Those who would tell us what to do, are simply failed explorers. They decided an exploration lead nowhere, and therefore must not be repeated. They warn us where not to go, where not to look, what not to do....

But who's to say someone else's exploration of that particular vector might not lead somewhere wonderful?

I see our task here, to make available the opportunities for others to resume their own explorations. So many aborted explorations ! ! !

Yes there are those who are so set on a divergent vector from the majority of us that they derive pleasure and sustenance from our failures and disomfitures.

But are we to say that their paths don't ultimately lead back to GOD just because they diverge from ours? Sure we can say that. But free will includes the choice to explore any and all vectors for ourselves.

The ideas of right and wrong really don't ultimately apply. They are simply matters of opinion.

Do those beings who feed on our pain and suffering feel they are doing wrong or evil? I highly doubt it.

Paths to GOD which favour one polarity while eschewing it's reverse vector, appear to me to be doomed to eventual dead end. But that would simply be indicative of my personal stock taking in my personal exploration, and may have no validity for another.

I looks to me as if our next leap forward, upward, backward, downward or whatever you'd care to aim towards, will occur when we abandon polarization itself.

If everything springs from GOD, then EVERYTHING springs from GOD. No?
