First i want to say that Brian your comment is really intelligent and wise at he same time, rarely do I come across what I think to be such an exact understanding of what life is. Thankyou. And for the response to your comment, Knowing your True Self has to be an endless challenge and quest, otherwise what would be the point of life. Say one reaches the stars by an understanding and decyphering of the whole, they are able to manipulate, control and even create their own universe and cosmos. Now my question is when would they truly know themselves because by creating their own universe they will surely come to know more about themselves? The world is Maya, an illusion, it is a projection of yourself.

Truth reveals what is Real, what is true, and separates the real from the unreal.
Truth is summed up in these facts, God is All in all, the only cause and creator, man and the universe are spiritual effects of this one divine cause. Matter and so called evil do not exist as realities, they are nothing but errenous beliefs that are eventually destroyed through spiritual understanding….Once we have spiritual understanding, mystery becomes obsolete and mystery(ignorance of the True Self) is now transcended by spiritual revelation

If God or as you define, Orchestrated Intelligence remained a mystery, then Knowing your True Self would be an endless seeking, and never finding…
God is knowable but unknowable to the material senses. The unknown is that which spiritual sense comprehends, and which is unknown to the material senses..

Interestingly, it seems many nasty negative things don’t really exist at all but are terms to describe the absence of something good, ie evil; and fear is the absense of love, and sin the absence of grace etc. It’s nice to know that God is every-thing that is good and that we, when good are a part of God.

Ultimately, the word “God” is a metaphor that “Transcends” all categories of “being and non-being”. Neither science nor religion can “soil with the tongue” this great mystery we call life. Our definition of ourselves is a relationship between context and content. If you keep your context open to the unknown, no matter what the content, you remain innocent and there for lead a deeper, more spiritually centered life. See the world through the eyes of a child. After all we’re just cells of awareness riding upon waves in an endless ocean of orchestrated intelligence that transcends our understanding of intelligence.

Peace & Love,
Brian

In my experience, ‘substituting’ eventually did the trick. I also tended to gravitate toward writings and expressions that did not trigger the reaction. Trying to force myself to be more spritual about it didn’t seem to hurry things along.
Eventually, it just wasn’t important anymore.
You already have the awareness… you already have the desire…
The paths are many. Trust that you’ll be led to the only Source.
blessings,

To many, “God is Love, & Love is the Soul”. Thank U* for sharing your thoughts on this topic.

Perhaps what really repulses you is that you fear God as a punishing God that makes people suffer, this is what has been taught in false religions …This is the very hypnotic influence that seems to have been very effective in keeping the True understanding of God hidden. Those who really really desire to know God and find God, will not feel repulsed as you do because in Truth you can’t keep the Word God hidden. When you awaken, you will realize that God is not a word that disturbs you at all….

I also feel uncomfortable when I hear the word ‘God’. It’s too loaded with unpleasant associations. I always remind myself of the alternative names you can use: ‘the Universe’, ‘the Cosmic Mind’, ‘the Tao’, ‘Brahman’.

To quote Dr. Wayne Dyer: ‘It doesn’t matter what you call it’.

Sorry – there cannot be a definition of God. Definition belongs to the realm of appearances and phenomena whereas God, though encompassing this realm, is elusive to its limitations or, in other words, its definitions.

– Hypnotic influences and false conditioning would love to keep hidden forever the word God….But this will never happen…God is a beautiful Word that will live on forever….

Learn who or what God is and what your relationship to God is……In Truth you are God’s Perfect Idea..God’s thought made manifest….It is most worthwhile to get acquainted with your Maker as you will forever be together as One…

These synonyms are also the key to the structure and nature of the spiritual realm of Reality.
The seven synonyms are like a spectrum. When light passes through a prism, it is separated into many colors. When God is defined through the synonyms, we see spread before us many qualities of God’s infinite, or divine nature or individuality. Each synonym has a certain attribute that defines it in a way that distinguishes it from the others..
Principle- is Law
Mind- is intelligence
Soul- is identity
spirit-is substance
Life-is being
Truth-is reality
Love-is power,relationship..

God is all that is Good and everlasting….The Anglo Saxon term for God means Good…
So God means All that is Good including all the synonyms that are mentioned above and man when attuned to God is the Goodness expressed. God is Good and man is Goodness expressed….God is Spirit and man is spiritual….
