RE: Why do we personify "God"?

in #philosophy6 years ago

Very interesting and insightful post.

I think there is a difference between the "God Image" (the symbol that represents God to the psyche) and the metaphysical existence of God. "God" is something more abstract and higher-dimensional (for lack of better words) than we could ever fathom with our minds.. yet each individual surely has a unique perspective on this force, through their own experience and perhaps even in their DNA.

I think so long as the symbol of God truly resonates with the individual's perspective of reality and adds to the authentic "myth" of their existence in a way that empowers and helps them, it is amazing. Surely. in a universe full of complex paradoxes, there could be no one way.

I have been thinking about an idea which suggests spirituality is like a tool that allows humans to consciously harness their emotional and mental powers in a way to create and navigate the physical realm optimally.
