God aka God

If God exists, then God is surely a being, an entity, a force with powers mysteriously beyond any of those of human understanding. Yet some are certain they know God and can speak God's mind for God. They can live in a world where human dress, human behavior, human interests and human preferences are wildly different, yet they think their human experience of God should be everyone's  experience of God.

If there is any sign that points to the existence of God, it's the yearning that exists, I believe, in every human being toward a oneness, a completeness, a wholeness that can only be resolved in a God-space. The great teachers tell us that this can only be found through a life's work. That this is evidenced by the uniquely chosen path of each unique individual, framed and followed in each individual way. This is how God, wearing whatever guise, is revealed to each individual.

This is the most we can expect or earn in a life.
