We want to think about God.
God is a thought.
God is an idea.
But its reference is to something that transcends all thinking.

He is beyond being!
Beyond the category of being and non-being!
Is He or is He not?
...Neither is, nor is not.

Every god -- Every mythology -- Every religion is true in this sense;
It is true as metaphorical of the human and cosmic mystery.
"He who thinks he knows, doesn't know."
"He who know that he doesn't know, knows."

There is an old story that is still good;
The story of the "quest" -- the spiritual quest.
That's to say, to find the inward thing, which you basically are.

All of these symbols refer to you...
Have you been reborn?
Have you died to your animal nature and come to life as a human incarnation?

You are God in your deepest identity!

You are one with the transcendent.

Thank you for visiting my "space". It was set up for me by my friends at the Joseph Campbell Foundation . Very soon the look and feel of the interface will be improved.
