I do not believe in the God of theology. Why would I? Even the theologians tell you you have to “take it on faith” what they tell you. Means they are making it up–or worse, telling you to take on faith what someone else told them to take on faith. “Faith” is nothing more than an opinion that takes itself seriously. And theology is nothing more than a collection of opinions about hearsay. Between going with what you know to be so and going with what they tell you you have to take on faith, go with what you know to be so every time.
What we know to be so is the validity, the reality, of the God before and beyond theology. That which has always been called God has also been called Tao, Psyche, Intuition. All of which go back to at least 5,000 years BCE to the Shamans of lore, and the Taoists, and the Hindus… To that which is directing our boat on its path through the sea, along, what Martin Palmer talks about as “The path that can be discerned as a path is not a reliable path.” Which I take to mean that the path can only be discerned in hindsight. We look back and see what got us here and know that was The Path, and all we have to do is what we were doing that got us here, now.
What got you here, now? Keep doing it. Trusting yourself to what you know to be so. Not to what someone else tells you to take on faith. What did Jesus say? You have eyes to see! Trust them! You have ears to hear! Listen to them! That’s so simple a baby could do it. What did Jesus say? “Unless you turn and become as children you will never enter the Kingdom of God.”
