Who Is God?

In a post on a FaceBook forum where Clement of Alexandria is quoted: “No one can rightly express him wholly. For on account of his greatness he is ranked as the All, and is "The Father of the Universe." Nor are any parts to be predicated of him. For the One is indivisible; wherefore also it is infinite, not considered with reference to inscrutability, but with reference to its being without dimensions, and not having a limit. And therefore it is without form” (Miscellanies 5:12 [A.D. 208]).

I made two replies in the following:The problem is in organic man's inability to comprehend his own higher Soul-Reality. "Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little" (Isa 28:9-10 NKJ). In the same way that an infant grows into a child and adult one step at a time, so too does the process of mental-expansion take place line upon line. And this immaturity of mind and spirit causes the vast majority of believers not to comprehend an important overlooked and not understood Bible passage states in reference to the Higher Reality of God that mankind is blind to: “‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring’” (Acts 17:28 NIV). If we indeed "...live and move and have our being" within God, then what is our true relationship to God? When we put the foregoing together with the statement by James Jeans that: “...the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine”. Or the words of Arthur Eddington: “The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff”. What is portrayed is a higher reality that few people are even prepared to contemplate -- much less, understand with sufficient degree to even form a realistic opinion. We live and move and have our being in God, because there is nothing but Mind. And all that exists, exists because the Thoughts of God brought it into existence. And when you look at the outer world, what you are seeing is the Mind of God allegorically presented to you in the forms of nature.

An Enlightened person who understands the Natural Laws of Creation, understands that God is not a being who is separate from man -- but is the very Consciousness within which we move and have out being. Perhaps one of the best teachings (which was removed from the canonical Gospels by the Church), has been preserved in the outlawed Gospel of the Nazirenes, and is known as the parable of the fishes (quoting): "And there were certain men, of doubtful mind, who came to Yeshua, and said to him, You tell us that our life and being comes from God, but we have never seen God, nor do we know of any God. Can you show us whom you call the Father-Mother, one God? We don't know if there is a God. Yeshua answered them, saying, Hear this parable of the fishes. The fishes of a certain river communed with one another, saying, they tell us that our life and being is from water, but we have never seen water, we don't know what it is. Then some among them, wiser than the rest, said, We have heard there dwells in the sea a wise and learned fish, who knows all things. Let us journey to him, and ask him to show us what water is. So several of them set out to find this great and wise fish, and they came at last to the sea where in the wise fish dwelt, and they asked of him. And when he heard them he said to them, O you foolish fish that don't contemplate! The few of you who seek, are wise. You live, and move, and have your being in the water; from the water you came, to the water you return. You live in the water, yet you don't know it.' In a similar manner, you live in God, and yet you ask of me, 'Show us God.' God is in all things, and all things are in God."

Does a fish see the water? No. They only see the physical form of the objects that exist within the water -- or in the analogy of the fish, the water is the Reality of Mind within which all the physical objects exist. At a deeper level, all of Mankind and Creation exits -- and is intimately connected -- within the Mind of God. And while, like the fish, organic man can only see the form of the physical objects, because organic man is blind to the Reality of Mind and Spirit, we fail to see that “‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring’” (Acts 17:28). Which has been confirmed in the words of James Jeans that: “...the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine” -- and the words of Arthur Eddington who is portrayed as an astronomer, physicist, and mathematician who did his greatest work in astrophysics.: “The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff”.

Second reply: Let's talk about the Cosmology of Mind. The Logos indicates the Mind of God -- aka, Son of God and True Prophet. The Soul of each person is as a single Neuron in the Mind of God. All the lives that the Soul has incarnated into, is as a single neuron in the mind of the Soul. And what this means is that while the Soul evolves over the course of many incarnations, each of these soul-generated personalities are unique in relation to all the other lives the Soul has lived. As explored beginning at The Evolving Soul http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#TheEvolvingSoul , each soul-generated personality MUST return to it's/our Source in what can be portrayed as the House of the Soul -- or Soul Mind-Matrix. When I use the term Unique, that is because each soul-generated personality only lives one life -- and as a neuron in the Mind of the Soul, each soul-generated personality is important because they/we connect the higher spiritual and lower earthly kingdoms within the Soul -- thereby enabling the Soul to become Whole and Complete (Perfect). In view of the fact that modern science has proven what the Mystic has known all along -- i.e, that Time is a Dimension of Mind (see The Enigma Of Time And The Soul Of Man http://SoulSelf.org#EnigmaOfTime ) -- all the soul-generated personalities must be restored to their Source in the Soul Mind-Matrix, and remain conscious of not only the life that they uniquely lived -- but also the relationship of each life to one another.
