Coffee Shop Thoughts

If you ask me if I’m a Christian, I’ll hesitate. Not because I don’t believe that Jesus rose from the dead, but because of how I view God. God isn’t a being. God is an energy. Beyond that of gravity or string theory. With all of the science we have, we still can’t define this force that has created everything. Ex nihilo is the word. God created Ex nihilo, which is why I believe we don’t have scientific proof and never will. I have two beings. my human self that needs proof and my higher self that understands on a higher plane of understanding. Like I always say, life, birth and death are all interwoven. Like the fingers on our hands. Separate, but connected. Like the ocean. A cycle. How is it that the same theme occurs in every culture? I’m not arguing with atheism. Trust, if you don’t believe there’s a force greater than you, then I’ll let you believe that. The Universe has many mysteries.

I don’t view God like most do. God is science, God is love, God is nature. God is the very energy that created universe. God creates. God embodies everything. Woman, Man, Child, Beast, galaxies, stars, and everything else. I believe that God is an all loving caretaker. God creates. Laws that I believe can only be partially explained by our human minds. Her energy has laws. We will never understand her complexities. We’re too feeble. Yes I called Her a She. In nature, other than with bacteria and other single celled organisms, a womb is needed to create life. Patriarchal societies taught us that God was a single being and the that single being was a man. God is energy with masculine and feminine characteristics. Not to be confused with human characteristics. What is God? Everything, Nothing, the substance of things hoped for and not seen, our deepest fears. Explaining Her would kill us. All we can do is find comfort and peace in Her complexities. We must learn to love and exude her energy. Examples are everywhere. Give, respect, love. Always love. She is love.

I’m Christian, but I haven’t put God in the confines of the Bible. She’s much lager than anything I’d ever be able to understand.
