God is an archetype that represents qualities humans admire and strive for, such as love, protection, and wisdom. However, worshipping God as a deity separate from ourselves limits our ability to experience deeper realities. God is ultimately an unidentifiable symbol created by humans to understand the world, but there is no need to define God or ascribe human qualities like gender. A better understanding is that God represents the harmony in all of creation, including within ourselves, and we should seek to manifest wisdom and love in our own lives rather than rely on conceptions of a divine being.

1. God is an Archetype
November 19, 2019
All words are free to worship. All worship is an ancient ‘belief’ ritual, and only necessary when
one needs the use of ‘belief’. Some say ‘god’ is love, but do we worship love, or even those we
experience love with? Love is not an expression of reverence for a love one as it is said to be
for a deity. An archetype is something molded in the mind to represent an example of quality
we adhere to either as a belief or as a touchstone of appreciation possibly to the degree of
deep reverence. Worshipping of ones image (ie,. God) can be a step to seeing beyond the
attachment to a word or words that need to be ‘unattached to’ to experience deep realities.
Depending on the personal identification of an archetype, while useful, misses the real silent
beneficialness of the harmonious gifts that enable life and love to exist. There is no need to
ascribe a word to that and then rearrange the word to fit a dogma unless the mind can’t see
beyond the object (in this case ‘god’ or god as a father) and it’s used as a devise or crutch for
the mind to understand at one’s stage in life.
God is real and not, but an unidentifiable symbol of what humans prefer in someone looking
out for them here and hereafter. To paraphrase Ecclesiastes 1.17 in it’s
condemnation of the pursuit of
wisdom is as folly as one who chases
after the wind. Each of us has the
ability to see, understand and
manifest what any ‘holy man’ has and
could display. We are only limited by
the limits we set within as
obstructions.
The term God is anthropocentric. It is
our creation. Knowledge is not
knowing and ‘knowing’ should never be an ‘ego trip’ for
those who think they ‘know’ God. Conceptions are false
imaginations, dreams of the human ego. We are not the only ’thing’ in the image of god. The
trees, earth, stars, animals, men and women…everything that exists is in ‘god’s image’, not just
man. God is not divided into two - the creator and the creation. Creation is God. There is no
god who is separate, apart, sitting somewhere presiding engineering, administrating beyond
the world. The very world, universe, being is god/godding. Best to be open to not attaching to
knowledge of a duality of god as creator and creation, instead opening oneself to an eternal
creation always seeking harmony. First seek and focus on the harmony within you. Love life
and life will love back!
