God as Mystery
    #7510758 - 10/11/07 08:50 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

For those of us with a full life, there is little mystery.

One can be so busy with the planetside trip that there is no time left for considering that which is mysterious and unknown, for considering one's own ignorance. If one is content and happy in the planetside trip he can safely place God as Mystery, God as One's Own Ignorance, God as The Ineffable. One can leave God until Sunday (or Saturday) and be too busy during the week to consider His existence. Even one's Sundays (or Saturdays) may be so occupied with mundane affairs that God is not thought about even then.

Even modern science admits of its ignorance, of its frontiers, of its boundaries beyond which it cannot go with its present techniques, present theories, present paradigms. Too many people are too involved in other views of God than God as Mystery. The simulations of God given in other chapters indicate where their energy is being used. God as Mystery seems to be special to mystics, to some scientists, to medical doctors and nurses, and so forth, who are constantly being faced with situations about which they can do nothing. God in these cases becomes "that which I cannot yet know about."

What can I say about my ignorance except that my ignorance exists? What can I say about the unknown except that I cannot yet know it? So, I express God as Mystery by a blank sheet of paper. A blank sheet of paper to be used in the future, as it becomes less mysterious, better understood.

Loved that. First i know what is ment by the sunday or saturday comment, however, i realized that Often my prayers and spiritualism comes out on saturday night, we just talk about these experiances sunday morning. lol

The god i belive in has no name. we refer to this being as god. God = a pronoun for something we cant understand.

it makes sense to me. god as mystery just speaks for itself. there is no need to know, no need for scripture, no need for a lot of things that only fuel argument and separation amongst people.

it's a humble way of saying, who knows? :smile:

follow those who are searching for truth. doubt those who claim to have found it.

Fred Alan Wolf said "The real secret to life is not to be in the know, but BE IN THE MYSTERY."

I didn't agree with him at first, but I'm beginning to understand what he meant...
