God, Being Human, Reconciling Being God  --  An Improbable Proposition?

Protagonist’s View

Starting, Ending, Returning

For a concept such as God to exist – cocreation, a native human capability, makes it so.

We are source contributors of the reality we experience each day, in each lifetime, including the existence or nonexistence of God.  Some opt for a God presence.  Others pass.

For the former, a compelling God story provides a coherent reason-for-being and a life map worth following. 

For the latter, divine stories represent fanciful tales based on questionable reasoning. 

In the process of cocreating God, an option for realizing that we ourselves are indeed a different G arises.  Not the ancestral God, but a reconceived G.  We may come to understand that we are this G in part.  This G in whole.

If seeking eternal life, consider that we are already immersed in it rather than waiting for an idealistic place and time yet to come.   Accepting that forever is already happening further informs our temporary journeys. 

Within the unbounded forever, we may choose to create meaningful reasons for being, making differences that come to matter.  And/or if preferred, simply enjoying, or enduring the current’s flow, riding the waves, accepting the default status quo of contemporary affairs.

We may believe that we search for hidden meaning and if fortunate find it.  Consider that an optimal human act is to cocreate fresh meaning and new stories out of nothing, establishing worthy existence within the void.

It is possible, indeed probable, while being human, consciously being G as well.  Able to hold both world views, alternating between the finite temporariness of our small self (I) and the infinite foreverness of our grand self (G).  Diving in and fully engaging in our personal dramas, alternately detaching, and retreating to quiet eternity, the source of all and nothing.

With practice, we may acquire the challenging but realizable ability to navigate both realms.  Each view informing and supporting the other.
