I see my soul, my essence, as grounded in oneness with one thing bigger than myself. I most frequently name that “one thing higher” God or the Divine. But there’s a complete vary of different phrases that match too—like Supply, Oneness, God, Allah, Nice Spirit, the Infinite Discipline, love or Love, common power, the next energy, the quantum discipline. The huge vary of non secular and non secular traditions the world over all have completely different names for this one thing higher, and every title speaks to a specific understanding of it. (In case you discover discord with this final thought, lookup the time period non secular pluralism, one other eye-opening idea I discovered about in graduate theology college.) Every of those phrases may be correct, however every can be restricted. It displays only one perspective, one side, or one type of expertise of the higher one thing. The extra I stroll with people who find themselves exploring their religion, that means, and goal and desirous to really feel extra totally alive, the extra I feel our phrases can solely start to the touch on what that one thing higher is like. The entire of it’s finally unnamable.
