Is it possible to comprehend god?

Question

I'm not even talking about the idea that created this place. I can imagine that we return to separate consciousness clusters and absorb each other's experience. Then I can imagine that process would include gathering enough like clusters to be able to have the strength to break through the frequencies only seen by us combining. Then when we add our experience to the original circle and deposit it and then feel the comfort of contributing. It looks like a pyramid if you picture it in your mind. Some people don't want to go back home though. It would mean a whole new way of existing and I can't comprehend that? Anyone else wonder about this. If that concept is a pyramid, then what is the essence of what is outside that pyramid. Seems like only the curious would try to know. ;) Just a thought that popped in my head. I am religious and don't study any mystic stuff, just an idea I had. I'm not on any drugs, just daydreaming.

I meant am not religious

Reminds me of the dark crystal

Answer 1

If that concept is a pyramid, we are inside the pyramid, trying to reach out for the dust outside. The soul is the intersection of the dust and us. You are not daydreaming. Your soul is working and starting to comprehend you--the image and likeness of God.

Answer 2

Sounds like you have attended some self-improvement sessions or read some self-help books which touched on the Circle of light etc.

The Circle of Light (or in this case the pyramid you're referring to) is just an term of reference, not a 'be-all-or-end-all' kinda thing, and it is definitely not relevant to the existence (or comprehension) of God.

I mean, what'll you do if you can comprehend God, which we know will never happen?

Answer 3

"Is it possible to comprehend god?"

If I tell you to picture the person you love, you'll probably see that person's face. You might see an image from a past memory of her or him. But you're not likely to "picture" that person head to toe, from all angles, all at the same time. The brain won't see holographically in a single vision. If you tried, you'd probably get a headache.

To comprehend 'God', a person would have to comprehend every person living on this planet, all things, all of Earth's nature, from every blade of grass to every grain of sand... all at once. And more than that. To feel 'God' you'd have to comprehend everyone and everything that ever lived on Earth -- and then go beyond, to the moon, other planets, the sun, then to all the suns in the cosmos, and all the galaxies on and on and on through infinite space... and to comprehend everything, all at once.

In other words, no. It's not possible to comprehend 'God' with the human brain. All we can do is catch fleeting glimpses.

And the most amazing thing about this is that we are bits of 'God' ourselves.

Answer 4

I don't think we are ever truly meant to understand or comprehend God and his word. Throughout time, there has been so many interpretations that I believe the true meaning may have been lost. The Catholic church denies certain scriptures and the countless faiths, christian, Nazarene,Protestant,etc... all have there way of believing what the word is and what god wants of us, that I have decided that I will just live the best life I can, and praise his name and acknowledge that Jesus is our lord and savior, in hopes that on my final day I will be judged in a way that he is proud of. We are all just children to him, so to understand or comprehend God is just not fully possible.

Answer 5

You thought of that and your not on drugs? You definitely have an active imagination. According to your description of God, there is no god. We die, we become some sort of alternate energy force and then we combine with other energy? First of all WHY would we do that? And what kind of afterlife existence is worthwhile if you lose your identity of self? If you REALLY want to try to begin to understand God then go examine what the Bible (and Jesus) says about God, Heaven, and the afterlife.

Answer 6

Faith in Jesus Christ is knowing God. There is, most certainly, a way of "comprehending" God.

A very simplistic method is to put your finger into a cup of water. Then pull out you finger. There is no void, no hole, no sign that you were there, as far as this world's elementary concepts of the laws of physics, time, and space.

The living water is there. God is there. But even though you KNOW you put you finger there---you know the laws of displacement of water---you know the chemical make up of water, the glass, and your finger----you also know that God is the voice inside your head that says, "I'm not insignificant to this world. Even thought I may not leave much of a "hole" in the fabric of this world when I leave, I am important to God in His works, in His plan.

The promises of a man and the matter fused together to make this planet will all end. But the works of God will run together, meld together with those who love him, like the displacement of living water around your finger in that cup.

Answer 7

This reminds me of a paradoxical question I was asked at age 15,"If GOD is Almighty can GOD create a task he cannot complete?" Twenty years later I answered this with,"Yes, because the task he created would seem to us three dimensional beings as nothing". In other words if there were two dimensional creatures and me being a big bad three dimensional creature I can interact upon their two dimensions and they could not see nor conceive of my doings. The ancient Egyptians called him "AMEN" the invisible one.

Answer 8

think of approximately your question yet differently: can a development ever somewhat comprehend what that's want to be a city, of which the respond is: in basic terms abstractly. a fraction of something, of which you're with regards to God, can in basic terms relate to the comprehensive in analogy, metaphor and abstraction, because to be the 'comprehensive' is to be cognizent of each and every and each little bit of it modern-day simeltaneously, to verify, comprehend and 'comprehend' why each and each bit exists interior the dating to the comprehensive interior the way that it does. check out a development in a city, any development, and you will study on the subject of the city by finding at that development: who lives there, why they stay there, why did they build it interior the 1st place, what's its purpose, why x form of comments extremely of y, what has taken place there, what is going to happen to it? comprehend-how a single development, its atmosphere, tenents, historic past and whatnot provides you a window by which to start to comprehend what it skill to be a 'city'. even whether that's fragmentory, that development does represent a 'fact' on the subject of the city, and as a result's a factor of the better fact. Its no longer approximately comprehend-how God's common message, that's previous your skill, yet approximately comprehend-how how your life is a factor of that message, a factor of that life and purpose, and how your life's meaning will become a gadget by which God's meaning is often used to others. with a view to appreciate God thoroughly, specific you're able to would desire to ascend to that time of omniscence, giving over of your character, although momentarily, with a view to adventure the comprehensive, yet no individual, although effectual, isn't something better than a guy or woman and can't represent something greater effectual than itself, anymore than a development can represent a city in and of itself. the city is in each and every development, yet no longer each and every development is the city. i will carry a pitcher of water in my hand, and comprehend what an ocean is, abstractly, yet that does no longer advise I carry the sea in my hand. understanding the version between a pitcher of water and the sea is likewise element of what it skill to be 'God' as nicely.

Answer 9

To answer your question part;
If God didn't want us to understand him, why did he raise up 44 men to write down his inspired word?
It's true, when a priest gets stuck on a question, the popular thing is to say that we aren't intended to understand this. It's over our heads. Yet another religion will explain it quite understandably, even if it's wrong, to them it makes sense.

Some of the bible was written in such a way that knowledge gained in recent years was necessary to unlock meanings meant when written, for understanding now.

Answer 10

This is the end result of Trickle Down God. In answer to your first question though the answer is yes, if you are a Christian as God said "let us make man in our own image". Ge 1:26
