Forces Beyond Imagining
by Daniel Beadle - Thursday, September 6, 2007
“Somewhere, beyond the edge of human imagination, there are forces battling on levels we can’t even begin to understand. You ask me who God is? Like he’s some human being reining over all creation? That is a concept that humans have invented in order to comprehend the incomprehensible."There are more dimensions, more… facets to this reality, and the others beyond, than any one person can reasonably wrap their mind around. Religion is a translation of spirituality. It is a simplified interpretation of the metaphysical. Religion is fairytale, designed to put what is beyond human understanding into common terms. It is so much easier to take something as horrifying and as bleak as chaos, and call it evil. And many take it a step further, and turn it into a villain called ‘Satan.’ And that’s a human thing, taking forces and vague concepts, and wrapping them in flesh. I find it amusing that many humans believe that death takes the form of a man in black robes. Death, like Satan, and especially like God, is not human, nor does it resemble anything like that.
“God is a force, not a person. God is not vicious, or vengeful, or even benevolent. Like anything in nature, God is neither good nor evil… it just is. God is like a conduit for the unseen energies of this reality. It connects all things, everywhere, and in every way. And if you close your eyes, and quiet your mind… you can feel that power… you can sense that presence. It’s available to anyone who wishes to access it. All you have to do… is reach out.”
