Who is He?

  • God, who is he?  For centuries man has looked to the heavens and pondered the depths thereof, seeking vigilantly through the vast darkness for the answers his mortal mind cannot understand and therefore remain hidden.  There he stands…alone.  Who will guide him?  How will he know which way is right and true?  God…

     

    Through fear of the unknown, an unfathomable desire to please the furious one who makes the earth to tremble. It is but the one who makes it to rain down fire from the heavens and makes the earth to open up as if to swallow man whole.  Certain death feeds the fuel of the mind whose numbness is bliss.  Blindness showers creation with vivid white as if to cover the blackness but in the end the answers remain unanswered.

     

    Man took a wife and together they pondered the darkness of the heavens while bearing the fruit of creation…life.  As one the two became, creating the third being.  Two beings balancing each other so perfectly that new life is possible. 

     

    Take a look at the yin-yang of Taoism and what it represents:

     

    1 “The black and white halves within the circle represent Yin-qi and Yang-qi - the primordial feminine and masculine energies whose interplay gives birth to the manifest world: to the Five Elements and Ten-Thousand Things.”

     

    I am by no means saying that Taoism is the only way or even the right way but if you take a look at the laws of the universe the yin-yang would be correct.  It takes both man and woman to come together as one to create life but what does this have to do with God?

     

    Over a thousand years after the terms for the yin-yang were created a wise man said, “I and my father am one.”  John 10:30 KJV  Then in verse 34 he said, “Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?”

     

    Would it break the laws of nature for man to bear child by himself?  Or a woman, could she supply the planet with life without the seed of a man?  Everything in the universe revolves in a circle recreating itself either bigger or smaller.  Look at an atom and compare it to a solar system then compare that to a galaxy.

     

    So who is God?  Seek to answer that with an open mind willing to accept the truth and if you truthfully seek you will find.  God is inside all so rather than looking to the vast darkness of the heavens look inside your soul, and there you will find God.
