The Face of God

What is God?  OK, Who is God?
Is there an answer to those questions?
(Religious interpretations don’t count.)
Does the universe hide God’s identity,
presenting as proof of credentials
(that such an entity exists at all)
the created “order” of things?

Finding a car on the side of the road
does not prove the existence of General Motors:
just that someone made it.
Ah but what if it has a brand name?
OK – what’s God’s brand name? The Bible?
That makes me laugh so hard it hurts!

Let’s take God as a trinity –  pretty basic:
Spirit, Father and Son (sorry ladies, men only!)
One: Spirit that animates all things – including God!
Two: a Father who is the dreamer
Three: a Son – the created part of God’s thought –
the one who interacts with all his creation
in his dream.

Let’s break it down some more: gods.
Animated by Spirit, they come into existence.
Alone – so they think.
They dream companionship: a new world
(as big or small as you want it to be)
They project themselves into their creation:
The “son” is the inter-actor in their dream.
And they also observe themselves interacting.

Some “push” the dream, make impossible demands;
create rules of conduct, maximizing polarity:
these are the dictators:
you don’t want to find yourself created there!
Then, they wake up – the dream ends
and they go on with their regular routine:
for many of them, that means kindergarten...
Yes, gods are usually just kids playing.
Simple, isn’t it?

(hey, it's really spirit/mother/daughter, we just let you think men are at the helm)

Yo WindWalker,

I see God everytime I look in a mirror. I'm created in his image.
