I envision God as my creator and the creator of nature, the earth, the one who cannot be refered to as he or she but just God. Our creator cannot be thought of as man but amongst other things as the giver of life which is spirit, the one our souls seek during the path of our lives because greed, sin, hatred and desire has seperated us from God. N.B I will not refer to God as him (God) or Her. God also must have transended before the existence of time as our thoughts are limited to the limits of time so we cannot understand the origin of God.

Again it pushes me to one thing I have realised in life that LANGUAGE is a major barrier between us and truth & light & freedom because if one thinks of God interpreting in english lingua often the answers and solutions of the questions one has about the creator often elude the thinker, i.e from an African point of view, thats why in some areas of Africa, colonisation abolished the native tounges. One ends up caught up in philosophical thought patterns brought about through 'education' in western languages because the moment one begins to think philosophies and theories of others pour into their mind and if they think in english/french etc opinions by those who expressed themselves in these languages appear to them in the conscious and sub-conscious to affect their conclusion, this is why one often has to un-educate themselves to seek truth.


The creator shall not save me through the soul of another man because throuh our creator alone all things are found.


Are you so sure you have found the answers?
