Name Above All Names

[savagewind]

we are God, or All is God, the myriad forms are irrelevant because the form is mutable, or dynamic.

this is why jesus said that the Spirit quickeneth, or causes/gives, and the body(form) counts for nothing.

I do not know why you might think it is wise to ignore what I said about NAME.

If we are god and God is us, then what we do and where we end up is God's Name.

there is no end to what we become because God doesn't have a beginning or end. That which is eternal, infinite, or everlasting is constantly changing, or if you prefer, becoming. that which is unformed, uncreated, or unbegotten, is formless. it doesn't have a definite form because it has nothing it can be compared to, contrasted against, measured by, or defined by anything else.

like empty space is measured in contrast to the physical matter that surrounds it.

I do not doubt that. So, for each person, what he or she does and ends up becoming is to him or her God's name.

i agree. this is why the immersion(baptism) into the name leads to people having a more holistic view of themselves and others, like yourself.

genesis ensues at the end of the name. let there be light.

i'm not promoting christianity. i'm not promoting the bible, there are at least 6 recognized canons. i'm promoting an idea of inclusivism..

you assume they do based on fundamentalism but mystics from various religions don't. a persons belief system is based on their culture, a culture is based on environment, most people can't adapt to new environments, migration proves this. this is how evolution works. it doesn't need a definition, a name, it just happens naturally. ideas, things become enculturated and an apple in new england might be a red delicious variety and in new zealand a fuji but they're both apples with different coloration, forms, and even names but still basically apples.


again the cross is one of the oldest symbols in antiquity. it isn't unique because it implies the yoke; which can take two things and harness them together into ONE function. one thing that can cultivate so much more than one and another working apart. that is exactly where the word culture comes from. the idea of planting something, tending it, and watching it grow.

I really do not care for unfounded assertions.

How can it be that you should simultaneously worship one deity and multiple?

consciousness permeates all kinds of forms. yet the consciousness has no exact form

i have heard it called christ consciousness from christianity, the diamond mind or vajra from hinduism and buddhism, the thunder perfect mind from the ancient gnostics, not to be confused with the newer gnosticism.
