117. IS GOD A RADIANT LIGHT?

Is God a radiant light?

Despite this, there is still, for example, an opinion, “that GOD is a kind of abundant and radiant light.” This claim that GOD is a kind of light is based on “studies” and “rabbis” talking about people who have died a clinical death. After they regained consciousness, these people said they saw a great light that spoke to them and drew them in. And this, they argue, is the proof that GOD is actually a great, abundant, and attractive light. One possibility to explain these stories, if we decide to accept them as true is that a lack of oxygen in the brain made them hallucinate.

The second possibility is that they really saw the next world. Then we have proof that in the next world there is some kind of light. The very fact that they saw a great spiritual light abounding in love and light that attracted them to it, does not in any way prove that GOD is this great light. It is important to understand that in truth this light is just as material as a statue. It is a complete fulfillment to think this way about GOD and it has nothing to do with how Judaism treats GOD.

There are more sophisticated people who understand that GOD is not really light. These people say that because light is a material thing, GOD is actually an idea such as the idea of ​​love, a higher power, or other similar things. Such definitions sound more spiritual but are material and similar to a statue just like thinking GOD is made of material or thinking GOD is light.

There are also even more sophisticated people who have even more abstract formulations, for example, that GOD is an absolute beauty, or the absolute truth, or the infinite absolute perfection that flows in everything being in its beauty and exclusion. Despite the sophistication in them, even behind such beautiful sentences, there can be fulfillment and a mental error just like saying that GOD is a statue made of mud. Absolute wholeness is a very beautiful thing, but when we refer to a familiar concept from our daily life experience and simply attach to it the phrase “absolute,” then that too is not GOD.

YOUR SOUL NEEDS SPIRITUALITY BUT YOU ONLY TRUST REALITY & FACTS

In the spiritual world reside the forces that operate our lives in daily reality. Get to know them, because your happiness depends on them.

While we are selfish creatures with survival mechanisms and animal instincts to achieve more than we need, we’re also wired (DNA & neurotheology) for spirituality and to live for the greater good, for the higher self. For that reason, we are wired to protect our spouse, our family, our country, and be connected to a higher spirituality we call GOD (whatever it is).

We seek to connect to the highest authority which is above human sensual perception. We seek a GOD to be our ultimate guide. Not the GOD that the religions created for us with endless restrictions and imaginary hell and heaven, but the true real GOD.

This book sums up thousands of years and debates to one practical conclusion: is it good for humans to have and believe in (a) GOD or not.

While emerging in the debate, keep an open mind and ignore any religious misconception of who GOD really is. You are here because you care to know if there is a higher authority and if your life will be more fulfilled with GOD in it. You want to know if spirituality is good for you.

WHEN DO YOU FEEL SPIRITUALITY?

The spirit is invisible, but it is revealed in every phenomenon in life that means oneness. It is revealed the moment you look into a person’s eyes and discover that you both feel the same. Spirituality is revealed as soon as you do something that makes others a caravan of joy. It is revealed the moment someone refers to you and you refer to him, and you are both aware of each other’s existence. As a Roman poet so beautifully put it: “Outside all the notions of good and evil there is a field. Will you meet me there?”

Socrates was said to have not come from Athens, but from the world. You and I are two aspects of one reality, united and all-embracing. In unity no differences are eliminated. For things to unite, they do not have to lose their individual identities.  In unity only the separation between them is abolished, which is the difference in value and importance. Then it turns out that everything is one thing.
