I was introduced to Christianity at an early age. I was a wacky kid with a wild imagination.
While I was growing up, I maintained God’s image from the seed in my little child’s brain as a beautiful, older than anybody, white haired, white robed, bearded, distant, brightly glowing super Man with a tall staff which served as a metaphysical humanary disciplinary tool.
I had a tendency to put God in a “box” that was only opened on Sunday. That thinking led to an incredible amount of mistakes during the rest of the week.
My thinking changed as an adult after my second major mental breakdown. I began to intently study the Bible hoping for intimate communication with the “Man upstairs”. I needed mental and spiritual help. I was broken.
During my studies, the “old Man in a box” image began registering as ridiculous and shortsighted.
My Bible study lead me into building this website, wherein I could easily share my findings with others. My findings about how Love is at God’s core… not religion.
Throughout my youth I wrestled with the “in’s and out’s” of religion. I think God planted a seed into my young bouncy busy brain that eventually grew into spiritual awareness. God has always been with me, helping me live and paint life. I’ve just not always been with Him.
I since learned that God is not in a “box”… God is EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE in time and all at the same time—without needing sleep.
I don’t like using a pronoun because God’s not a limited human. God is infinite and cannot be fully understood by us humans… except to know that meek and solid Truth.
To see God, I must be able to see infinitely more than the sum of everything in the universe. An impossible feat in physical terms—and inherently obvious in spiritual terms.
Heaven must be a spiritual “melting pot”. Hell may just be a melting. 😉
I get glimpses of God through witnessing a hummingbird, a sunrise, a rock, Susan’s and my daughters’s life giving eyes or witnessing any of creation’s wonders.
My God “package” is a loving feeling, and is always available for me to “talk” with whenever I’m able. I imagine if I were perfectly in Heaven, I would always be able.
But I’m currently dwelling in a “bouncy busy box”.
