Stephanie, you really point out the disparity between what the Bible says vs. the orthodoxies of our interpretations. Theology may consider you a heretic for what you said, but not scripture. Ephesians 4:6--"one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all." or Jesus saying in John 14, "In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.”
I've found the Trinity helpful in this. God as Father is separate. God as Christ is in us. God as Holy Spirit is in and through everything. The problem for most Christian theologies is that they stay with God as Father's and can only see separation. The problem lies in our interpretation of scripture and of God, not in the experience of God. Thanks!
This is so inspirational! For me god is a universal energy field that express uses itself. I wonder if the god or universe communicates to spirit by inspiration through intuition then to the intellect ? I was having a inspired moment when it occurred to me that maybe “inspiration” could be whispers of spirits or angels from universal source
Kudos, Stephanie! Your brave, loving resolve to speak, write, and draw what you know to be true is making the underwater, invisible part of the octopus evermore visible. Thank you for helping to show us who it is we truly are and who it is we see in all that we see.
This is sooooo beautiful, powerful, and right on!!! I absolutely LOVE the picture and the analogy!!! THANK YOU STEPHANIE!!!
