Visions of God and you
There are no words to say that which cannot be known. But we try. Consider God. God is a construct of imagination seen in different forms. One form is a god completely outside of yourself. Another is a god with whom you share an essence. There is also a god that you are united with as one. These could be different gods, or one god perceived in different ways. Different groups see God differently.
God can take form outside of you. To construct God outside of yourself is to not see yourself as God. God becomes your separate creator. You and God are not the same. You are the pot on the shelf which the potter built to hold its creations. You are not the potter. You do, however, seek a relationship with the potter. To be in relationship with God is normally to worship as a member of a religion.
The god outside of you, like the potter, is a god of separation. You are not the potter. You are its creation. You are separate from all its other creations like pots on a shelf. In another view of God, you share in God’s essence like the sap of a sugar maple tree. You are not the tree, but the tree did produce you from its essential nature. There is separation of form but not of substance and spirit. This is God within you that you also sense as an outside form.
Sometimes God is not given an outside form. There is unity between you and God. To unite fully with God is to live in unity like a wave on the ocean. You both are water, there is no separation, but God is not dependent on you like you are dependent on God. The ocean does not need the wave to be the ocean, but the wave needs the ocean to be the wave. You are united with God. You are the same as God. But there is no singularity.
Singularity is when there is no god and no you. The metaphor for this is dance. The rhythmic movement of dance cannot be separated from the dancer and the dancer cannot be separated from the dancing. Dance, dancer, and dancing are mutually dependent and inseparable. Dance represents the singularity of the emptiness that is nowhere, or consciousness. Consciousness, too, is a construct of imagination because there are no words to say what cannot be known.
