How can we get away from the human concept of God?

1. God is spirit. The same spirit is what is available to us all. It is the ultimate source of all energy. And everything is about energy in some form or another. (I like Rutho's comments here).

2. We all have a covenant (promise) with the God of our own understanding. While there is only one God there are certainly many paths to understand it.

3. God as spirit explains so much that has been taught through all the religious groups I have travelled. God is the same to each and yet, we can apply so much of our own limited understanding to make that covenant so important to our plan in life.

4. There is no far off heaven (or hell for that matter) where God resides. There is only the spirit in our own hearts to make this life matter to spirituality. Grow with God.

5. The thought written in most Holy books and literature is that we are in the image of God. This does a disservice to the humanity of God. God is not human and does not have our limited traits. God is in all human beings as the spirit of life. Soul = breath. God breathes life into all creation.

God is "human"

it is just that we are not "human" as "human" truely is.

The disservice is not to God, the disservice is to ourselves

I could not have said it better myself. I can’t remember where i heard it but it feels so right to me to say that if our Creator was on top of a mountain and we were on the bottom that religion would be the path that we chose to climb to get to Him/ Her/ It, whichever way you want to see the Creator...

You kind of opened a new way to look at Heaven & Hell for me but i think with the way it is imprinted on my mind from childhood, it’s something i still have to ponder on...

I think that respect for one another’s religion or believe systems would make the earth a much more tolerable place; you don’t have to understand it but to respect the fact that it is that person’s choice...

One thing i see a lot is where people take, whether it be the Bible, Quran or any other Holy Book says and only use what suits their goals at the time but if there is no benefit to them they discard it...

I think that what you have posted Ishtar, is the post of a very awake person.

Thank you Sun...

Does that mean that your mind has been put at ease about me waking up... Cause you know that i am going to do it one way or the other, I am stubborn like that...

I have been mulling it over in my mind over and over again and i still don’t understand the dangerous part??? Care to put me out of my misery???

Warm Blessings,
Ishtar

The ignoble traits of human beings are not found in God. When someone talks of their understanding of God as judgement (i.e.) they are placing human beings traits on to the all expansive energies of God.
