If a religion’s God is omnipotent and omnipresent, how can “He” be contained within one religion? If “He” were really omnipotent and omnipresent, wouldn’t “He” encompass all religions and belief systems?
Any “God” that is limited to a belief system is merely an aspect of All That Is, not All That Is.
And how can God be contained within a gender? All That Is is limited to a “He”, the description of a physical male? So does that mean the divine doesn’t include females? And God is limited by labels of physical gender?
The boxed-in ego creates a boxed-in God to fit its boxed-in perceptions of a boxed-in reality. And, simultaneously, the boxed-in reality reinforces boxed-in perceptions of a boxed-in God to a boxed-in ego. Now that’s a boxed-in feedback loop.
This is how you get religions who try to claim ownership over God, like trying to catch the sky in a box. Meanwhile, God is really everything, and the Infinite Potential from which every-thing emerges; Source, All That Is.
If a religion’s “God” is omnipotent and omnipresent, how can “He” be separate from you? You are a part of All That Is, right? This dualistic seprationalism is based on a materialistic view of reality, where everything is seen as separate mechanical parts.
“Reality” is really an infinite quantum soup where All Possibilities already exist, are decoded based on perceptual filters and projected into a holographic experience. Our (perceived) human selves are fractalized microcosms of All That Is. We are God peering into a unique dimensional experience through a unique perspective/lens.
Tune in, breathe past the clouds of thought, and acquaint with this essence yourself. In Pure Awareness, you connect with the Pure Awareness behind and beyond everyone and everything (Pure Awareness itself, Source, All That Is). To label it or claim it is to forget it; egoic amnesia. Even me saying “All That Is” or “Source” really isn’t it. One must experience it to truly innerstand.
As Lao Tzu said,
The Tao that can be told
Is not the Eternal Tao
The name that can be named
Is not the eternal Name
Look within, and I’ll meet you there (here).
Wholeheartedly,
~ Stephen Parato
PS – This is why mystical teachings are endlessly frustrating for the thinking-addicted ego. It isn’t thought into clarity. When thought is let go of, clarity naturally emerges.
