Below is an article that I found that fit very well with a discussion I have been in for some time now. It is about God, labels, science. Enjoy!

The first thing we need to do is get political correctness out of the way. There is a separation between church and state and therefore, for the purpose of this article, we may refer to God as He. Let's make it clear God, does not have a gender. Let the usage of this word not deter you from understanding the content herein.

As Dr. Phil says, there is no reality, only perception - I say, we don't know any reality, we only have our perception. ( Many people substitute one of these words, opinion, idea, thought or point of view. They all represent the same thing, perception.) The older you become the wiser you get. I found within myself, the older I became the more I was aware that there was only one thing I knew, and that was that I know nothing. All I or anyone has is a point of view. Often when we're young and immature we tend to believe that what we have as an opinion or thought of, we tend to believe it to be a fact just because we think it's so. As we mature we begin to realize that is not the case. So let me make this disclaimer right here, this article is my perception of the truth after the result of over 40 years of searching for the truth in various ways. It is the very best that I have to offer you at this time. I have just begun my 71st year on this planet. Simply listen to what I have to say and take it within and see if it makes sense to you. If it doesn't, it is simply not your perception at this point in time and mine may change. It has been said, "still your mind and come to your senses", and there is a lot of truth in that. Hence the reason why the object of meditation is to still one's mind.


It is very important to understand that mankind communicated originally with hand gestures, grunts, groans as inflections. Hence the reason for hieroglyphics and the Kabbalah. We do know that the word God is not God's name. For the word God did not appear until approximately the eighth to ninth century A.D. It is an English word and according to the Oxford Dictionary, it notes, ruler over good and evil. We also know that God's name would probably be a sound more so than a word since original Hebrew was all consonants and no vowels. And in Scripture when Moses asked God at the burning bush who shall I say sent me his answer was in Hebrew and to the best of our knowledge was JHVH. Hebrew history points out that when Moses came down with the 10 Commandments and the second suggested not to use the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for generations the Hebrews did not utter that sound, what ever it may be and to this day will tell you in honesty they are not sure how you would pronounce it - the pronunciation was lost in time. Somewhere along the line the Hebrews added the vows to the language. When they added that vowels "a" and "e" they came up with Yahweh and as a pronunciation but since they are not sure, when they speak to one another they used the word Adonai. This word of Adonai means "the Lord", as does Allah, or Kona in Hawaii or Don in English. Someone somewhere around the 16th century used the JHVH and sounded out; ja ho va , hence the word Jehovah came into the language. Not to long ago, someone interpreted the word Jehovah to mean, I AM that I AM in English.

( This paragraph in parentheses is for those who want more information regarding the origination of the word God. The word GOD is shared by most of the Teutonic languages (Old English, Old Saxon, Old Norse, etc.); Old High German uses the spelling GOT (modern German Gott). The scholars do not agree on the ultimate root, which is probably a Sanskrit word. The word appears in some of the oldest Old English manuscripts that have come down to us, but was evidently in use in the spoken languages of our Teutonic forefathers before it was written down. Old English only exists in written form from the 9th century. The earliest known written use of the word God dates from about 825, in a translation of the Psalter from Latin into Old English.

So you can easily tell from the above that to asked the question "is God energy?" really is not the right question to ask. (Any of you who have any guilt that you may have broken the second commandment by saying God damn, rest easy, that is not His name.) The question would be better asked is the original prime source energy, or is energy the primal source. You can now see why we have taken the time to explain that interpretation is constantly happening and it would be wise for us to define the words herein. Now that we understand that the word God is used only to define something, it is not the name of something. We can continue on now and try to define what is meant by energy.

Physicist claim that all things come from what they call the unified field, that which we call God. From this unified field come waves, like a radio or TV wave. From these waves come energy, and from this energy comes matter. Now to change this definition into something more spiritual let us consider the unified field as the primal source, which we call God. From God comes what is called the only begotten son of God, the waves. These waves, the Christ or Spirit, in which we are connected. (The Spiritualist call this the OD, which is in everyrhing.) Then comes energy our mind (soul/emotions) and then our bodies, matter. Energy is in all matter. Look at a, crystal, dowsing rod, Taro card or any object under a microscope and you will see the molicules moving around holding that object together. ( This shows they are simply a different form of intelligent life.) So when we join our OD with that of the object, both the OD and the energy are more powerful and can be used for "good" or "evil" purposes however, we are the superior of the two. It is our energy which directs the OD of the two by means of intent!

Let's go back for a moment to the Spirit and where we are connected, bringing about individuality, and try to understand that this connection is where the duality began and that duality is what we refer to now as right or wrong, good or bad and individuality. It is the duality which creates this world. Then it is easier to understand what I was taught over 30 years ago in deep meditation, everything comes from Spirit, to the mind, to the emotions, to the body. And all healing must follow this line. ( Now you can better understand why Doctors, today, are treating symptoms and not the cause.) So the question, "is God energy"? The answer would be no. Considering God is energy would limit Him and we understand God to be limitless. If we ask, is energy God? We could answer, probably so. But then remember, we don't know anything for sure. So at this point in time we can certainly go along with the thought that energy is a part of God.

It appears at this point in time, where the waves change to energy, duality was formed, hence we have the Christ Spirit and the ego mind. And to this date there is a battle within us between the two. We need to learn to choose the Christ's way over the ego away. It was brought to our attention that the ego is simply another word to define that word appearing in the New Testament as Satan. And if you take a look at that the egoist certainly is self-centered and selfish. But the Spirit within us is also saying on the other side I AM peace, harmony, balance, love and joy. Where the ego wants for itself, the I AM wants for the good of all. And may be better understood with this little poem, author unknown.

"When you live in the past,
(with it's mistakes and regrets)
It is hard, for I AM not there.
My name is not, I WAS!

When you live in the future,
(with it's problems, worries and fears)
It is hard, for I AM not there.
My name is not I WILL BE!

When you live in this moment,
(the Present, now nothing is NEEDED)
It is not hard, for I AM HERE.
My Name Is, ( was and always will be)
I AM!

Summation - You can search, and many do, the rest of your life trying to understand God. The truth is, you are wasting your time, for a finite mind cannot possibly understand the infinite, while the infinite does understand the finite mind, (energy). Concentrate on our relationship with the Christ Spirit! The only thing that really seems to make a difference and have value is not refraining from doing or saying things because you are afraid of being wrong or punished but because you truly understand that if someone did it to you - you would not like it, so you are not going to cause that to happen to another . Worry not about words but about their meaning.



Remember - You are never to old to begin to enjoy a wonderful childhood
