Technically an agnostic, but still a believer in a creative force.

What is God? I don’t imagine any of us have ever been designed to know what took place before the creation of the universe. My assumption is that it was a yin and yang. God for me is some kind of binary beyond anything that I can imagine.

Where is it? It is beyond anything that we can possibly understand because it’s beyond the dimensional reality that we live in, so there is no “place” that I can speculate upon. We are actually within God, in that sense. We’re within whatever created us.

Who is God? As far as I can imagine, it has to be a binary. It can’t be anything else. It certainly isn’t anything near the images of God we have today, because all of those are just build ups of more ancient spirit worship. And those people back then did not have any better grasp of the duality than we can. Whatever created the vastness of all this is far beyond anybody’s capacity to recognize or grasp.

I don’t believe in the concept of God as it has been portrayed over the past two or three millenium. As far as I’m concerned, all those concepts of God are still related to basic ideas of giving a human face to intangible spirits. The God that we can speculate upon, the one that is able to create the universe, is not something humans would be capable of seeing. It is beyond our reach to even fathom, since we are contained within it.

So, whether I think there is a God or not, in the classic language, I’m a true agnostic, meaning I don’t deny the existence of God, but do deny the possibility of ever knowing what that is. However, I’m an agnostic only in the sense of the language; I’m a deep believer in a creative force. But when you come to all those religions and their ideas, I don’t believe in that crap.
