It is so old and misunderstood.
It wants us to be as we can be and would like us to understand it as we can.
In the life of an ant, we are forever.
In the mind of an ant, we are all knowing.
The gap between us and is it even greater, but it is not omni-anything.
It just is. | OK so if this god above (posted) a reflection of you, then what do you see in the metaphorical mirror?
I just a read an article that we tend to put our values and motivations in/on other people. A sidebar in the article also indicated this is true for our gods. And in my case I found it be quite true?
It just intrigued me. |
Yes, it is true of most of us.
I am working on this myself, letting people be who they are much like I let a tree be a tree. No judgments, just an appreciation of who they are.
God is not a reflection of me,
no more than my thumb is a reflection of the person I am.
I am a function of it and this universe.
They are really the same thing I am just using the words here to make the point.
This puts too much of self in the mirror. I am more of a “we” guy.
Maybe (Key word: MAYBE) The bible,
that would be a reflection of man.
