Is it not good that no matter how God is defined, explained or portrayed God will remain the same. If we are honest we change our definitions of God like we change our socks. I wake up on a bright sunny morning on my holiday and everything is just wonderful, someone dies we ask why. I want to give my life as a minister for the Church the skies the limit, I find out I cannot because I´m not married in the Church \"so what the hells going on?\" To see God simply requires us to look beyond the clouds and to the stars, outside our own little world that reveal only a fraction of the unchangeable.

How about looking into a mirror...for is it not our own creative power which derives these labels, that contemplates these mysteries. Yet mere labels cannot convey the feeling that accompanies of one who knows. One who has found one's innocence.

To stop the search is to not seek anymore, but to be okay with not knowing.

But it is sure a lot fun to wonder....maybe that's the innocence.

Does a blood cell have awareness, and if it's conscious does it know it is a integral part of a much larger organism?...... :)

Well humans get tested also.....and you make about 2 mil a second, so you probably lose that amount in the same time.

the force is mysterious in its ways...yet here we are, a bunch of semi-conscious dead star matter.

My point being there is life on a totally different scale in the form of bacteria so therefore is it not logical that to believe there is life in the much larger scales of dimension?

I'm not Abrahamic, but I'm rather fond of the passage in Isaiah that explains who and what God is (Isaiah 45:7):

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Gives pause for thought, don't it?

I Love Joseph campbell's way of looking at \"God\".

God is a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.

and

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble
