Here's how I see it.
I see lots of people writing about how unhappy they are in life, no money, no cars, bad health, shitty situations, death or loss of something important. I see people say this a LOT: Let God handle it, pray to God, God will take care of you...
and you know what? It's partly true. But people see to misunderstand what God is.
God is not a human being, God does not have human emotions. God does not work the same way human beings work, therefore scriptures written by humans are often subject to human emotions.
God is infinite wisdom.
God is hatred, murder and disease, God is life, love, understanding and compassion.
God is all the good and all the bad in the world.
God is everything and in everyone. This does not mean everyone is a God. God is within everyone because we are capable of being good or bad and since God is both, Ying and Yang, God is within us all.
God is the universe.
Without the good there would be no bad.
Without the bad, there would be no good.
How would we know what is good if we didn't experience the bad. How would we know bad things exists if we didn't know what was good?
If you pray to God for patience, you will get more situations in your life win which to display patience. You will not be given the ability to be completely patient in every situation.. it is up to you to display patience when it is needed. Life is full of tests, what you want most you ask for and it is up to you to make the change within yourself to achieve true happiness.
If you pray for success, you will be given a chance to act upon it, it is NOT up to God to supply you with things directly, but with the knowledge (intuition) to make it so. It is up to you to act upon the circumstances when they arrive. You have to trust your intuition because that is God giving you hints, whispering to your soul, the answers that you seek. Trust your gut- if it seems like a bad idea, it probably is, if you feel an urge, listen to it, try to understand it.
heaven and Hell are human beings creation- some people need something to visualize. Heaven and Hell are the beautiful and ugly parts of human life. There is no actual place of damnation like hell. It is a manifestation of all bad things, feelings, actions. There are good and bad forces out there,however people are easily confused and easily convinced or manipulated so it is important to understand God.
That is why there is good and bad in the world, that is why God "allows" bad things to happen to good people and bad people to help weigh the balance of good people in the world. It is about balance, it is about coexisting, it is about allowing life to live. There has to be evil in this world so that good has something to compare to.
God comes in many forms, as a human being such as Krishna, Jesus, Mohamed, Saints... God is within everyone, as I said before God is both Good and bad, Ying and Yang. The sun and Moon, Good people and bad people. This does not mean we are all gods, but that we are all connected, we are all one, we are all one with God. We are here on earth to experience life, we are here to experience good and bad. We are meant to touch peoples lives whether it be for better or worse.
God comes to us in abstract ways also.
Sunshine
Beautiful landscapes
Strangers who know just what to say
Funny quotes that inspire, infuriate and explain
Children's perceptions of what life is and how it works
We are all here with a purpose, we all touch lives whether or not we are aware of it, we all touch lives even when we don't know we're doing it. It's the human connection. God working within us.
We as human beings, are not perfect and we never will be. There are amazing people who accomplish great feats, however we all die. God is an infinite being with no beginning and no end.
Humans need stories to be able to grasp abstract concepts such as consciousness, understanding, and tolerance of differences.
It blows me away that people will call themselves Godly or put labels on religion such as Christianity or Buddhism, yet they feel contempt and hatred for such things as silly as a boy wearing girls cloths or people getting tattoos- because God is within all of us and within everything we should always try first to love and accept differences rather than persecute people for having feelings or thoughts that differ from their own!
Another thing, God has come in many forms, people, animal, plants, water, air, fire...
God gave us earth and God can take it away. Be appreciative of life. Coexist is the main message.
