 God QuotesWho says the eternal being does not exist? Who says the sun has gone out? Someone who climbs up on the roof, and closes his eyes tight, and says, I don’t see anything. (Rumi) Humans must stop thinking of God as a Being outside of them. They must even stop imagining that he is somewhere above, in the heavens, while they are here on earth, separated from him by immeasurable distances; they think this justifies all the mistakes they make. Since God created them, he is in them, the same way a father and mother are in the child they gave birth to. Just as we carry our earthly father and mother inside us, all the more reason that we also carry our heavenly Father and Mother. Many will say they don’t sense them. It’s quite simply that they are not looking for them. If you use meditation and prayer to try to go deep within, you will discover this presence. You will also understand that nothing is more important than working to make this presence more and more alive within you. You will begin to read this presence like writing engraved on your heart, and this living writing, at the same time as protecting you, will lead you along the paths of light. (O.M. Aïvanhov) To justify their non-belief, some people say they will believe in God only when they see him. But the poor souls will never see anything, for no one has ever seen God. We can feel his presence, we can even see his manifestations – lightning, projections of light – but we cannot see the author of these manifestations, because it is simply impossible for physical eyes to see God. For an object or being to be seen, it must have a shape, proportion, limits, and be situated somewhere in space or in time; however, God is beyond time and space. Therefore, we can only perceive reflections of him, manifestations scattered everywhere, among stones, plants, animals, and especially among humans: in their elevated thoughts, their feelings of generosity, their gestures of kindness or courage, and in their works of art. And the more we purify ourselves, the more we distinguish traces of God, of his life, his perfume and his music. When we contemplate the sun, we can say ‘I saw God in the sun's light, I felt God in its warmth, and now, I am more alive.’ (O.M. Aïvanhov) The feeling of love is your experience of God. (Unknown) In varying degrees and upon different levels all gods and goddesses represent aspects of One God which is both 'male' and 'female'. (Dion Fortune)                 16 Pantheons (click to enlarge): African Yoruba Goddesses; African Yoruba Orishas/Gods; Celtic; Chinese; Christian/Islam/Judaism; Discworld; Egyptian; Greek; Hawaiian Goddesses; Hawaiian Gods; Hindu; Inca Goddesses; Inca Gods; Japanese; Māori; Norse (various sources; fair use, educational) Theologians frequently assert that God has no body, no gender, no race and no age. Most people state that God is neither male nor female. Yet most people become flustered, upset or even angry when it is suggested that the God they know as Lord and Father might also be God the Mother, or Goddess. (Carol P. Christ) |
