Devoid

Wednesday, November 30, 2005:

I found myself reading the gospels of thomas yet again, and coming to a new conception of God. The basic principle is that maybe God exists. However a perfecr God it seems would never confine itself into a single entity, but would rather spread itself across all things. Particularly, those thing that are similar to iself, and exist in the metaphysical realm. God is an idea, ever maleable and chaning, not a belief or a disbelief. If you were to buy a large piece of marble and claim that it was God you would have two choices. First, to put the piece of marble in your living room, unchanged as it was handed down to you, and believe that inside this piece of marble is a divine power. Or, bit by bit, you could transform that piece of marble into a sculpture, discoving the form that is within. God is not a piece of marble that you put on your table and leave unchanged, god is an idea that you slowly sculpt into a reality. The more you question your ideas of God, the close you come to God, and the more you understand. To refuse to question God is the greatest offence to it, because by doing so you refuse to seek God - as if you do not desire it's company, only its protection from afar. The reason being, it's not easy to question God, nor will it ever be, but things that are easy are not necessarily good. If there is a god who chose to impart humans with the power of reason, it intended us to use these tools to come closer to it. Otherwise it would have made us as sheep, incapable of individual thought improvement.
