The Names of God

April 9th, 2006

There are an infinite amount of names for God. Many are right here on this site*, and more can be found in religious books and doctrine. The strange thing about a name is it’s only a label. It’s a local identification. It has no meaning other than the one “we” give it. We can, for instance call a table a chair and it doesn’t change the “nature” of what it is. If I called you a name other than the one you were given, it wouldn’t change what you are. God as a name for Divinity actually is bothersome to some, although I haven’t a clue as to why.

The problem with giving God a name is God isn’t a locality. God is non linear. How does one give a name to the Un-nameable? In Judaism, for example, there are words for God that cannot even be written, because of the sacredness of the word. However you put it to paper it’s still naming that which cannot be named. We have to call things by a name for identification purposes, so we persist. By not taking names with a seriousness that only we can place on it, we are able to dispense with having to put a meaning on everything. As we witness it, we realize it just is. It’s an advanced concept, but you are on the path to enlightenment, or you wouldn’t be here right now reading this. “Everything is it’s own meaning,” as Dr. David Hawkins says.

We can’t help wanting to put a meaning to everything that we see, feel and hear, but it is what it is. That’s all. Releasing the “need” to name everything may also bring on the state that you aren’t who and what you “think” you are, also. Try going a day without a name for yourself. It may be scary, but when you’re ready it’s freeing. I happen to love the name my parents gave me, but I’m not attached to it. It’s meaning is twofold…From the Hebrew name Channah which meant “favour” or “grace”. Hannah was the mother of Samuel the prophet in the Old Testament. The Latin version of this name is Anna…and this is the name traditionally assigned to the mother of the Virgin Mary, though she is not mentioned in the Bible. None of these is my actual name however, which is a diminutive of Hannah and Anne…Nancy.

See how confusing this all gets? Imagine for a moment all the names of everything on the planet and beyond and all the various meanings for all the names. It’s mind boggling! Now close your eyes and imagine something before you, say for instance an ice cream cone. One wouldn’t need to name it to know this is something I like. It is what it is.

So instead of finding “the” name for God, (which is the simplest one I can think of,) try imagining God as Infinite Love. It’s a good start.

The Nature of God

December 1st, 2005

Throughout the history of humankind, God has been depicted as having so many qualities it would be a monumental task to list them all here. (see Wiki article”God”) The names given to God* probably number in the thousands. Some religions alone, have dozens of names for God. Humans have not found anything to even come close to naming God, let alone trying to describe God’s nature. How can one describe the qualities of anything so incomprehensible as an invisible being in the non-physical with The All Encompassing Power of Creation?

I am not a Quantum Physicist (although there are articles on related subjects here), so I dare not try to explain God in scientific terms. My doubt lies in even trying to achieve this feat regardless. How could even the most brilliant scientists on the planet describe something that is out of the realm of their expertise? Since something is not born from nothing, the assumption that there is no God, has no validity. There are no arguments for the material, arising from the nothing, without first a something there to create it. Of course there are many agnostics(skeptics), and athiests(non-believers), as well as those who believe, but have fallen so far away from God, that their existence calibrates at the lowest levels of human survival. At these levels of skepticism, disbelief, and apathy, there is no need for concern about sharing information regarding God at all. When they are ready God is always present.

Because of the egoistic nature of humans, God is pictured to look as we do. It is said in the bible that God created man in his image. This is due to the self centered reasoning that we are superior as beings on the planet, therefore we must look like God. That would exclude every other living creature in our (or any other) universe. Pretty vain idea. In my whimsical imaginings of God also being a Being of absolute humor, I thought, “What if God looked like a soft furry Koala Bear just to poke fun at us? In God’s reality, I’m sure He/She could take on the physical form of anything, if he so desired. So I suppose He could be George Burns after all!

What God is not is punishing, demanding, or needy. God does not want anything, nor does He care how you act or what you do. God does not have an ego, therefore His feelings cannot be hurt, nor can we assign any human qualities to Him. God is not human, and yet is everything. God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent.

God is The Electromagnetic Field of the universe, which encompasses all linear and non linear reality. That is all you can see and all that cannot be seen in the physical universe. There are books written about “The Field” (see my library selections). Most books on this subject, however, even though many are written by physicists, have to stop at the limitations of physical explanations. God cannot and will not ever be aptly described in physical terms.

I like to envision God as an All Loving, All Powerful, All Forgiving, All Light Presence of the greatest Absolute Magnitude…All Encompassing, Ever Present and Eternal Source of what we, and everything else in this Infinite Field of Universes and Planets are. I see us, and every other creature, as a creative extension of This Magnificent Presence…physical, but eternal in our true nature… loving, but capable of falling away and falling down …spiritual, but defining ourselves within the limitations of religions and egoistic ideas…conscious and aware, but having lapses of memory and forgetting what we are… Perfect within our self imposed imperfections nevertheless… because how can we be anything other than the True Perfection of The Source of our creation?
