Another dead end in human intellectual, dualistically structured, categorical thinking.
Go beyond the term "God". Transcend the letters and words, leave all these conceptions and intellectual categories behind, and all what you consider to be your ego. Burn the bible, storm the library, tear down the church. It means nothing, only inflames your mind with colourful fever, and it burns so hot and shines so bright that it bl,inds your eyes and you cannot see the real things anymore. You must not reach something, you have to give up something. All that is your real essence and nature, is already yours, and always has been, and always will be, but you plaster it with illusions, and hide it from yourself. We must not learn to do something, we must learn to let things. "God", "reality", "ideas" - the veil of Maya, disguising from our eyes the reality behind. Nobody must go anywhewre, we are already there, and never have been somewehre else. We are running in place, becoming tired, sweating, becoming exhausted - but we do not move away one step fro m where we are. Still we think it is a race, a competition for being first, being doiminant, and all the violence and supression, all that immorality and fanatism, all that hate and intolerance religions are more responsibloe for thany any other casue in human history of the poast 5000 years, is coming from this - our halucination that we are in a race, that we must progress, must be victorious, must advance and be the first.
We are like hamsters in a running wheel.
Seeing this can only be had at the price of giving up the conceptions of our"selves", and give up our idea about our egos. In other words, like I sometimes summarise it, self-realisation can only be had at the price of self-transcendence, if you want to become your real self, you have to give up your self.
Let go "God". Stop running, and let the wheel come to a rest. Then step out. And see how it feels to come to rest.
