God's Name is God

[Jainarayan]

His name is Vishnu, Shiva, Allah, Yahweh, Joe, Margaret, Edith, Jonathan, Durgā, Sok'ke'tch'ik'tanoos'tekkah. That's the Alpha Centauri name for God (I don't know, I made that up ). We are all God. tat tvam asi (you are that... Brahman/God), aham brahmāsmi (I am Brahman/God) because èkam sadviprah bahudha vadanti ... "one Truth the learned know by many names". OK, now some heads will explode at my "blasphemy" God is one, it's the beliefs and views humans have of God and worship that are the problem, not God; some religions have turned him in to a monster ... it makes him sad.

Tl;dr ... "God" has many names, "God"is a little tiny grammatical participle. God (word) - Wikipedia

 

[Jainarayan]

When I little I thought I was God, and my brother was Jesus Christ. Our last name, I thought for the longest time was Dammit. When I was late for supper my father would call "Get in here, God Dammit!" When my brother made a mess at the table we heard "Jesus Christ! what a mess you made!"

Adapted from and totally mangled a Bill Cosby routine (yes, he was funny despite his vilification).

I saw him in person before he became famous. I thought he was terrible and not funny, even though at the time I did not believe in God or whatever some people say gods are called. Not to put anyone down, of course, but kinda like some opinions, as they say. Anyway, so long for now --

No worries. Everyone has different tastes. I don't think Ellen DeGeneres or Roseann are the least bit funny. But, they make money!

And of course, that's a big thing in today's world as well as previous 'worlds,' and by world I mean that which has been here for maybe several thousand years, not hundreds of thousands. Or reincarnation. You have your ideas and I have mine. More than likely, and I'm not a betting person, the ideas will not blend or meld. Take care.

Maybe you think his name is also Ellen Degeneres or Bill Cosby? just wondering...

Absolutely. What we see, however, is not what we are. What we see is the effect of māyā (illusion) and avidyā (ignorance of reality). So in our ignorance we see Brahman taking on the illusion of Ellen DeGeneres or Bill Cosby, or me or you or him or her, or it.
