God
God is Love. That's all that needs to be said. If this leaves you unsatisfied, read on... To the questioning mind, perhaps the most critical questions about God are:-  God and Angels
Does
God exist?The evidence of NDEs (near-death experiences) and near-birth experiences appeases my questioning mind that there is something transcendent, mysterious, beautiful and luminous. There is something beyond this world that science cannot detect or measure. An invisible spiritual world. I am also convinced that there is a psychic medium that interpenetrates all things, that science cannot yet measure. Through premonitions, it is possible to immediately sense what is happening at a great distance, as evident in many stories of people and animals. This psychic fluid is like The Force of Star Wars. Both these point to a mysterious universe way beyond any current scientific understanding. Albert Einstein said, "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science." Perhaps therefore we should allow the possibility of God?  I also like Karen Armstrong in The Great Transformation (cited here, posted 17 November 2010, accessed 23 October 2013, my bolding): If the Buddha
or Confucius
had been asked whether he believed in God, he would probably have
winced slightly
and explained – with great courtesy – that this was
not an appropriate question
…. What
mattered most was not what you believed but how you behaved.
Religion
was about doing things that changed you at a profound
level…. The only way you
could encounter what they called ‘God’,
‘Nirvana’, ‘Brahman’ or the
‘Way’ was
to live a compassionate life. Indeed religion was
compassion…. First you
must commit yourself to the ethical life; then disciplined and habitual
benevolence, not metaphysical conviction, would give you intimations of
the
transcendence you sought. This meant that you had to be ready to
change. These
sages were not interested in providing their disciples with a little
edifying
uplift, after which they could return with renewed vigour to their
ordinary
self-centred lives. Their objective was to create an entirely different
kind of
human being.

a blinding light in which everything that exists, the suns, the Angels
and Archangels all vibrate and throb and melt into the light. The Light
into which all form vanishes is the true Image of God." (O.M. Aïvanhov) "Life is only for love; time is only that we may find God." (St. Bernard of Clairvaux) |
