Any to him there is no equivilent/comparison."

Basically, God has no brother, no mother, no master. God is supreme above everything.
Anyway, I think I light be going a little so I'll cut it there.

I don't have to accept, but I observe that even if God is an objective singular reality, that The God is percieved differently by all. We don't know, when we say God, that we are even talking romotely of the same phenomena. And we do not know when we are talking of justice or love whether we are talking of the same reality. And it is the effort we put forth to prove we are talking of the same reality that makes God, and justice, and love, and everything imaginable into forms of relationship. So long as we are trying to determine the character and quality of God we are not killing some one on the basis of a difference of definition. And if I may, it is retarded to kill for God.

If we say we accept one God, and they say they accept one God, and both say their own God is good, and promotes human virtue, how could one of us be wrong, really? But to hear a Christian deny the God-ness of the Muslim God is crazy, and is an invitation to intolerance. People do not have different suns because the time we see it is different. And if we see God in a different frame of reference, it does not mean either reference is wrong. And I say that with no profound experience of God, thinking my definition of God meaningless before a definiton of self, or of humanity. Before I say, I believe; I must say who is I? (Who am I?) Maybe the answer to the first question must be resolved together with the second, but I think to know self one must look at the world with the courage to be alone, without God to guide. Thanks

No -- he's wholly subservient to the human ability to differentially conceive what he is or what he wants.

To me the true nature of God, is at the center of all motion, centering that motion, God is at that centering force within me, the Christ consciousness, which is the basis of all creation, its at this level all my questions are answered. For I and the Father are One, the 'I' being all inclusive.

So in other words ... ... God is us. I am within God's abilities?! Not quite the way I'd word it but.. here one sec, got to digest this info. .... .... ok I think I can understand what you're saying

[Richardgrant]

I see God and Mind being the same thing, what I see out in the material world is a reflection of God (mind) in motion, which is a reflection of my own consciousness of who I AM

Then I demand to know how he got past the CAPTCHA security password!

Anyhow, depending how I see God, he'd be one of those members to cause chaos and dismay in a forum, and then leave. Never to be seen again.

He hasn't given us all the answers (assuming he exists and is a he) in the however many years he/we have existed, why would joining this forum entice him to do so?

And If he were an atall caring member, im sure he would fix wthe lag problem

Everyone cares how we see god, and no one cares how god sees us. Doesn't that fact tell who the boss is?

[Richardgrant]

The reason God has not given me all the answers is that I am not ready, I can only awaken to that which I am ready. since I have discovered the answers are within my ownself, my awakening has been very rapid indeed.

How nice of God, to short you on all the answers, but to give you the answer to why you are short of answers. That old God is a wise crack and a half. My guess is that you have hit the snooze control once too often, and now you are dreaming you are awake. What say you?
