but does not know whom or what that is in entirety is that important? I mean is knowing how many divine powers there are and what the name is of each, if there's more than one), important? and if it is how do you find it?

for anyone who has not seen any of my previous questions, I have been a seeker on and off for over 17 years. I have learned a great deal about many many beliefs, but have found them all wanting in the fact that they are all based on revelations of others, (most of them thousands of years ago), their interpretations of them, and others editing of that. I find this to be like a cosmic game of telephone taking you further and further from the truth, I do want to know what is going on in the universe but so far neither science nor religion has produced any kind of self revelation for me, and I'm kind of looking for a middle ground now, hence the question...

No, knowing the names of all the dieties is not important to having a relationship with the divine. They are important only if you wish to invoke their names in a summoning or other ceremony. To have a relationship with the divine is to know that divinity is not transcendant of the body, to recognize the interconnectedness of all things, to know that the universe is completely penetrated with the divinity, and it cannot be separated from it, or exist without it. The divinity is not out there somewhere, it exists in you and in all things. Everything that exists in the natural world is an embodiment of the sacred. That is why we must treat it as sacred, with respect and care. All that exists in the natural world is an expression of divine energy. To have a relationship with the divine is to look into yourself and encounter your own soul.

Only one God and Creator of all and one Son Jesus who is the only way there is no other way by which one can enter into Heaven
you know this already if you have studied the Bible
there are many Gods and False Christs Jesus said that would be and so Heretics and False Religions existed in his time also
Be very careful who you trust and who you believe
many wolves are in good clothing
and Satan is an Angel of Light, deceiving the very elect if possible

I think you should seek out as much information as you can about however many powers you have a relationship with. You don't have to worry about the ones you don't deal with, but if you're going to have a relationship, you should understand each other, right? That doesn't mean you know everything about them starting out. As the relationship grows, you learn more, and as you learn more, the relationship grows.
How you find this information varies. It can be a combination of formal education, meditation and/or prayer, personal experience, visions, lucid dreams, etc.

God wants certain people. If He wants you, He will guide you to Him.
YES! There are a lot of ways to go. But Jesus said that he would send His Spirit after he left earth ( John 15, and John 16 ), so those who God wants can find Him. ( John 6 )
If God wants us , He will show us the way.

There is only one God, no matter what name is given, or what rules man has placed on God. Only one light being of energy that is full of love & compassion waiting for you to want to get to know him/her. Just pray/talk as though he is a very close friend, share your dreams, your goals, your fears. You can also ask everything by saying "through the light of the Holy Spirit...."......guide me, enlighten my soul, you get the idea.

One source with many aspects.
I suggest the course in miracles.
It teaches you how to have a close personal relationship with the source without any religious nonsense or mumbo jumbo.
Love and blessings don

You already have a relationship with the divine. Look within. She's in there.

God is the One true God the God of the Bible.
Jesus is the Only One who can save us and get us into Heaven.
Otherwise without Him we all die and go to the Lake of Fire
