| In saying the Universe is God, I use God in the uncountable form. When I dip a cup into a bucket of water and take some of it, I do not say that the cup holds "part of the water", I say the cup holds water and the bucket, too holds water. This is possible because the water in the cup is indistinguishable from the water in the bucket. Since God is inifinite there can never be a PART of God, every part of the universe is not a part of God, it is GOD. To understand the importance of this article of faith, you may have to understand the faith of my childhood. Back then, God was remote, and far from me. It was my responsibility to stay on the narrow path so I can reach back to God. Danger lurked at every turn. The path was difficult and few made it to the destination. Life was a battlefield between good and evil. God had created me in HIS own image and set me in the midst of a treacherous world. Anyone who has heard the saying "Only The Paranoid Survive" has some feel for that world | |
