Why does all the God talk have to be so damned complicated? Every God thinker/ talker has something to say to us but when the many voices are congealed, as in 6000 years of tradition, there is much confusion and wasted energy. Few of us have the time or the inclination to sort out the supposed truth so we just accept the party line, whatever that may be. Is there not a simple kind of God talk?
As has been previously
discussed, let us assume that there is a hidden God among us. One might ask, where
or how can this God be found? Maybe this is the wrong question. Maybe, this hidden
God among us will first, find us! Our only
place is to be available. Maybe, being
available to the possibility of God is the only qualification for experiencing
the hidden God among us. How can one ponder the stars among the vast darkness and
not be available?
If this is
our reality, we don’t have to try sorting out all the many earthly voices, we
just have to listen for the other voice and then respond positively when and if
called upon. No human or institution has control over or can dictate to the
hidden God among us. As humans we are receivers,
the first issue for us is, what messages are we getting from God? Then one must choose to volunteer or not. It
is in the volunteering that we experience the presence, power and healing intended
for us. It is in the receiving that we gain certainty.
The biblical
and historical cases in point are fascinating.
