Taming God

God, who called out Abraham
or God the Christ bringer?
Maybe Allah whose secret word pierced Mohammed’s heart?
Or it could even be the Amida Buddha who turned enlightenment into salvation.
Which God is the God for you?
Krishna, Zeus, Apollo, Ganesha, Osiris?
After you organize you can fill in the details and look for proof.
The very proof that is contrary to God.
Reducing God to a context cannot be done.
He is not a theorem of creation or “proof.”
Divine Will cannot be condensed to a set of laws penned in a tome.
This sect, that sect. Which do you collapse into?
Koran, Bible, Bhagavad Gita, Lotus Sutra, I Ching, you better pick one.
Turn wisdom and beauty into laws and history.
Laws against the sheep of different flocks.
Beliefs bring violence.

Why chose one?
God is not tamable by a religion or any organization.
He is not packaged and sold by any one set of metaphysics.
God is an untamable fire that burns his will into every man’s heart.
It’s your job to chisel away the stone and receive the fires.
Let the sparks melt away the ego.
Ego that makes your sect better than others.
You can’t have God unless you let go of all beliefs.
And answer as Abraham did when God called.
Boldly proclaim “Here I am.”
Don’t hide like Adam behind a tree.

With no beliefs and emptiness all you will have left is faith.
Faith is to patiently wait and consent to what is revealed.

So take a walk away from the church’s walls.
This path will be lonely, because the walls are thick and the preacher is loud
but don’t fear faith is all you need.
