God is the convergence but from Him knowledge diverges.Like the sun,different rays of light observable from different places but one source. Many religious threads here in wazua havr not really been about seeking the most high but competition on how much one can type away......I'm sorry to say.....nothing to encourage non believers who would otherwise wanna change their ways. The competition arises because God has been made a part of ego. If the ego was killed, then I doubt if there'd be believers and, or non believers.

this thread is going no where - why are you searching for the living amoung the dead? All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

'Searching for the living among the dead'.
Paradoxically, this is the only way to freedom. Christ's mission. The disciple's mission.
All religions converge here.

[quote=seppuku]Yes, seriously. Who is God? What is your perception of him?
Marduk,Enki,Enlil,Isis,Asis,Ra,Thor,Zeus,Yahweh,Allah,Elohim,Ogun,....The more, the merrier.
Or if you are:
Moses- The creature that appeared to him in Exodus 24:10, 33:8-20
Ezekiel-The creatures that appeared to him in flying crafts. Ezekiel 1:4-26
Bill Gates/Ted Turner- Nothing.
Make your pick.

'Picking' God is an impossibility. To make God a commodity. The picker becomes the God that hides from himself. A false God. An idol. Sin, is twisted psychology.

What we need is a Philosophy section in Wazualand  , so that these Zen masters and cool philosophers can wax lyrical to their hearts' content. I suggest we call it "The Abstract". Ever walked into a group of men arguing about their cars? Sometimes this is what these threads feel like. Please do not get lost in your own arguments, oh great ones. Somebody once said if you fly too high, you are likely to run out of air and come crashing down. Abstract everything and very little of use comes out.

'Concrete existence' is death. Water is abstraction. In my flight of abstraction I find this: (Entropy + Ergodicity) forming and transforming, spreading to infinity = 'God' = Nothing = Everything = Life = Love = Water = Sun.

@quicksand, and I say this: If you fly high enough, and fast enough, it is probable that you'll get into the point of oneness, and be the Sun itself.

You could have replied in Mandarin and I would be just as lost
