The Creator of all matter and everything physical; He Is The Force that Binds all dust and Animates flesh. He Is The Order in the world; in all the universe He Is The Source: The Spirit of all spirits, The Judge of all flesh, and The Nature of all existence. To the dust He Is the Force, to the flesh He Is the Breath, to the spirits He Is the Life, and to the souls He Is The Light. For the nations He Is the Lord of Hosts and for the judges He Is The Judge--in all the world He Is The One; He is the Significance of all existence. In all confinements He Is The Infinite; in all time He Is Eternal; He Is as He Is, as He Was, as He always Will Be: The Almighty Ruler, The Spirit of all life, and the Breath of mankind. He Is The Judge of Israel. For all who see beyond the flesh, He Is their Blessing and their Redemption. For all who see His Works and fulfill His Word, He Is One Who Reveals Truth and Acts with Justice.
And G-d is Ever-Present. He is present within His Creations, for they are a reflection of His Thoughts. With a "Word" the world was Built, and from a Thought was it Brought. Just as a house should remind you of people, so should the world remind you of G-d. Yet G-d is more than His worldly Shadow, He is Present even within our flesh. G-d is the Source of our souls, for it is from G-d that our spirits were Formed. And not like the animals were we Created, for our spirit is of the Breath of G-d. "G-d" walks upon the earth in the form of bodies, because people are like G-d within the confinement of dust.
But G-d is not limited by His Creations, for G-d is Beyond the physical world. G-d is Infinite and Eternal, All-Knowing and All-Powerful. Everything in existence is nothing compared to G-d's Existence, because G-d Is Beyond our senses and cannot be contained by our imagination. The only way to reach G-d is through the soul, the Breath of G-d, and the only way to know G-d is to know who you are and from What you have come.
Only fools would think the One That Created everything, Created Himself as well. But G-d is not a product of His Own Creation nor is He the invention of His Thoughts. G-d cannot be formed out of material nor could He ever be the design of man. G-d Is What He Is, What He always Was, and What He Will never cease to Be; the Infinite, Ever-Present, Living G-d of Creation and of all existence.
People have always known there Is a G-d, but nobody has seen Him, for He is not a person and certainly not an animal. You cannot see G-d; you can only see His Shadow, which is the Effect of His Presence. This doesn't mean G-d can be seen only through signs, for all of existence would be a sign to those who would recognize it. But G-d cannot be seen at all, because He Is Beyond our sight.
If someone showed you a book in a foreign language, would you be able to see what it says? Of course, you would not recognize it as anything more than symbols that combine to make words. And if someone showed you a page of text in your native language, certainly you would not know what it says until it is read. G-d is not foreign to man, for He Created mankind in His "Image." But people will never know G-d if they hide from Him and mock His Laws. Only if you take the time to read His Words, can you look upon the "Image" of G-d.
Yet people are not satisfied with Knowledge; they prefer to lean upon a faith. Faith is easily acknowledged, because you can't dispute someone's taste. People can believe whatever they want, but you can't deny, there Is A G-d. Because just as we exist beyond the flesh, so is there a G-d Beyond the senses. You could call this nonsense, because you'll never sense more than you've experienced. But even if you realize you have seen a miracle, the flesh can never understand. It is only because you are like G-d that you can comprehend beyond yourself.
People will deny G-d's Existence, because they prefer to hide from His Laws. But can you deny your own existence, when life is what you want? Can you say you lack a soul? Would you dare say you are mere flesh? Are you as lifeless as the finite dust and as cold as is the rock? Surely you have a spirit, if at least, the spirit of life. But only fools would claim to be animals, for you are of the Breath of G-d.
If you would deny you have a soul, it is because you have become cold. If you see yourself only as flesh, it is because you are a death. Yet people know they are more than dust, and life is more precious than possesions. And people know they have a soul, because what does a body know? So why do people accept themselves, when they can't even see their spirits? And how do you know you have a soul, when all you posses is flesh?
Nonetheless, people don't search for their souls and they don't question the existence of their spirits. People are aware of their existence, and so they do not doubt themselves. The spirit is never disputed, yet G-d is forever rejected. People are like children that run away from their parents... The mother cares for her child, even without his knowledge, yet the child always thinks he doesn't need his parents, and ignores them, although they're always present.
If you know you have a soul then you cannot deny the Existence of G-d? And G-d Exists more than you, because it is only through G-d that you are, whatever you are. For you are of the Breath of G-d and thus your spirit Was Created in the "Image" of G-d. If you would reject G-d, you might as well reject yourself, and live like the animals that are unaware of Anything Else.
There are some people that call themselves monkeys. If they behave like animals then perhaps this is a fair description of their existence. But I am not a monkey and man is not his flesh. And even animals are more than bodies, for they too have a spirit; the spirit of life. If you find a resemlance between your flesh and that of animals, it is because all dust is equal under the sun. All life was Created out of the same matter, and thus we're all the subjects of the same natural laws. But it is not the flesh that seperates us from the animals; it is only because we were Formed with the Spirit of G-d.
I'm not offended by the foolishness of people. If you choose to reject G-d and say you don't know the Source of your soul, then this is your problem, and not my own. I could care less what you think and I will not test you for what you know. Nor will I judge you by your appearance, although fools often pervert their form. I will see you only by your actions, and know who you are, by what you've done. Although you might cripple your mind, I will not excuse your mistakes. And whenever you do something wrong, I'll treat you according to what you've done. If you bring harm into the world, then you bring harm upon yourself. And if you bring goodness to mankind, then you bring blessing to yourself. For I will deal with you according to the Laws of G-d, and G-d deals with mankind the way we deal with ourselves. |
