What Is Or Who Is God?

The result of an inner calling is the revelation of a God who gave life to man to reflect and support the evolution of his knowledge.

God exists, I told myself, but what God is, we will never know. Our knowledge and vocabulary are limited, all we can try to say about God is just a clumsy comparison. Even Revelations is also written by humans. It’s stupid to talk about words, because they are also explained in words. Since God is, he is infinite and eternal, and what is infinite and eternal, even if they are only words, is always and everywhere, both in the finite and the infinite world. Therefore, God is and always acts in every moment, even if we do not know what his existence and action are beyond the concepts of our finite world.

God is in me and outside of my being, always and in every moment. It unites love and hate, faith and unbelief, passion and purity, so that nothing contradicts God, but we will never know how such a thing is possible. But if I believe in God, I believe at the same time in the incarnation of the Word and all that follows, and that God, revealing Himself in Christ, was all man and all God and there is nothing left here that is contradictory or disturbing to the mind. And the Holy Trinity is such a logical and rational symbol for the essence and mode of action of God in the world of the finite and the infinite, that it seems to me at the moment the most important knowledge.

Because of the finite character of words, it is only a symbol, but because of the essence and action of God, it is, at the same time, more than a symbol. *

Can you convince yourself of the correctness of your words beyond the concepts of a finite world, so as to give meaning to the existence and action of an all-powerful entity that surpasses any skill in protecting its understanding?

I read the lines above, written by Mika Waltari about God, and draw a conclusion. God exists, is everywhere, is eternal, but no one can see his face and no one can discern his identity. We all have something to write about God, many people may have known Him through written words as a poem of love or bravery, but no one will ever be able to know what He is or who He really is. Why?

Because if the world knew who God really is, and if God were to be noticed by everyone, then the world would get used to Him and He would become a normal thing. A banality, an improbable substitute for ignorance, incompetence and lack of interest. For he who becomes accustomed to a thing for a long time begins to give it up, to get bored of it, and to stop believing in it. In a way, you have to be covered in magic if you want to keep people’s interest and attention burning.

What fascinates man, his gaze, his soul, his mind and his spiritual faculties is that very note of Hocus Pocus That Will Blow His Mind.

Therefore, any word that has God in the foreground must be a metaphor, a personification, or a comparison with an incompletely known, incompletely identified, yet sublime entity, because it makes everyone believe in something that gives them hope, to which to pray, and to last after death. The importance of the knowledge on which the existence of God depends competes with that phenomenological perception of art which includes the action of creating a work later invested with the name of a masterpiece.

Are you on the threshold of a knowledge that focuses exclusively on an expression like “even if there is no God, there is at least one returned value that shows the conditions under which a story has ended”?

In order to recognize yourself in your words, for your soul to resonate with what you write, any notion you approach must become the subject around a living reality. Many are willing to believe that their model of reality corresponds to the fullness of faith, without intuiting what true faith is and without turning faith into a religion of knowledge based on duality.

And the change of the image in the foreground appears objectively only when mistrusts or oppositions appear to which we cannot respond, being able only to defend ourselves with an expression like “even if there is no God, there is at least a returned value that shows under what conditions a story is over”.

This value returned in the space of words can have as correspondent the very force with which they feed the human soul, striking in his sensitivity and consciousness, so that the evolution of this man acquires the status of authority or person favored by a destiny full of meaning, less full of sinuosity. On the other hand, words can justify the sinuosity of the path you are taking, or they can justify your degree of credibility in choosing a new perspective in life. And God’s authority can also be felt in carefully choosing the words used to bring you fulfillment or unfulfillment.

Right was he who spoke the words: “All fades in the face of the words you are able to discipline to shape your thinking path.”

Words resonate strongly in the souls of men, in the consciousness of mankind. And once again I find myself forced to refer to the words spoken by Mika Waltari, when Young Johannes spoke to himself in a moment of lucidity:

“How do the most learned, the wisest people in the church imagine that they can comprehend the mystery of divinity in words? Only the contradictions of the Fathers and even of the Bible show that this matter is beyond human comprehension. So it must be, because if God were in our sense, if He were to be contained in words, then there would be no God.”

Words are an open invitation to enter into the reciprocity of God’s action, loving the divine presence in man and therefore being partakers of God’s work. They hit or forgive. They give meaning to everything, always returning other meanings. Therefore, when we speak of God, we are favored to value our suffering or joy by introducing into our destiny the status of “traveler” assigned to the soul that can turn more to good, and less to evil.

The idea of ​​omnipotent providence is important in leadership, especially in terms of the words used to indicate the path worth following by every man who aspires to a higher degree of understanding of philosophy and knowledge, insisting that the human spirit is “an area wider than conscience”.

What Is Or Who Is God? Well, think of the answer in words. But first look around, remember everything that happens to you, and try to learn the teachings of life. The secret to knowing God is the creativity with which you combine pieces that seem completely different, so as to justify getting out of a maze simply called life.

At the same time, God can be a man endowed by nature with a higher intelligence, just as the Morning Star shines brighter than any other star, but is actually exercised through a form of manifestation of moving matter, through spirit, consciousness and reason. Can you find a word that fully reflects this truth?

I will conclude here, also with a quote from Young Johannes’s dialogues with himself:

“There is no greater humility than that of these people, the greatest scholars of our age, who feel the limits of their intelligence and the inaccuracy of their writings, but still agree to devote their time and skill, to use their will and knowledge to find a common and acceptable formulation for what we know about God.”
