Who Or What Is God?
abracad, · Categories: externally authored, spiritualityBy Dr. Stewart Bitkoff
God is the Light of the universe and is the mother and father of us all. God is present in everything and is the underlying unity. God is the life force and binds together the worlds. God is all loving and merciful, and a piece of God- spark of energy- called the Heart is in everyone.
God is greater than the creation and exists beyond the universe. While we may know and experience God, many aspects of God are beyond our experience and remain a mystery.
In our age, science has defined God as a supra-energy force that is part of everything and connects all things. This reality, mystics have perceived and used for countless centuries: bringing Light to the spiritual darkness.
For some, attached to the Word/Name God are many negative connotations; if this is true for you, for ease of learning, substitute the Word- Light. This may help you travel through these pages; remember it is the Light which dissipates spiritual darkness.

My God Sings
My God sings on the breeze.
I am the darkness
And I am the light.
I am the sun
And I am the rain.
I am your love
And I am your pain.
I am the stars
And I am the seas.
I am you
And you are me.
My God invites me
To join the celebration
And dance to the notes of creation.

Oneness of Creation
Traveler: Speak to me of the Oneness of Creation
Master: The beauty and symmetry
Of every living thing,
The orchestration of the heavens,
And the balance of the spheres
Is all God’s Work.
This creation is God’s
For God/Light is the Father/Mother.
Each substance mirrors
The Divine Hand.
In each, as God Wills,
His/Her Face are revealed to you.
Pray to see God’s Face
In all of the creation.
In this way, when the change comes
You will be ready
To continue your journey
And God’s Smiling Face
Will Guide you home.
God is the Eternal Reality.
