Aspects of God
By mati. Filed in Life |
Since I’m reflecting on life and death, I might as well get myself into real trouble and take it one step further – GOD! What or who is God?
Christians has the least mature idea of God – they believe that God is a person in the sky who created the world in 7 days…
First of all, that would make him a very very old person by now. And if he was such a creative being, why did he create the world in 7 days, and then stop creating? Any creative person knows that that isn’t how creativity works. If you are creative, it means that everything inspires you into thinking in new ways and your creativity keeps flowing.
The American Indians have a much more mature idea of God – to them, God is referred to as “the great spirit.” Now, that makes more sense. A great spirit that is free from body (form), can easily live forever because the spirit never dies. Only form dies.
The Hindus also have a mature view of God – they have 100 names for the different aspects of the divine, such as love, beauty, truth, creativity etc. These names are describing different qualities of God, not as a person, but more as energy.
Personally, I see God as life energy. When life energy embodies form, the form becomes alive. Form without life energy is simply dead form, and it will deteriorate over time. This life energy, also called chi or prana, expresses itself through the body. Therefore, we must allow this expression of life energy.
Every person is born with unique talents. Somebody may be good at singing, another good at cooking, drawing, dancing and so on. So, it is important to find out what we are good at, and what comes to us easily, and to allow this expression. Therefore, we should spend some time contemplating over this issue. How does the energy of God want to express itself through your hands, or through your heart or mind? It is in this expression that your individuality lies, so be playful…
