The Face of God as Many....
If I were an artist, specifically a cartoonist, I would draw a set of images and call them, "the changing face of God". In the first one would be primitive humans praying to their nature gods, Pantheism, everything outside of themselves, that they had no control over that became their gods. Next would be an images of Abraham, of Old Testament fame, considered to be the father of monotheism. Abraham is recognized by the three major organized religions as the beginning of the belief in one god, again however this is a god, created in a human image, male, old, and existing outside of the human existence. This god spoke to Abraham and a few others directly. The next image would be of the prophets, masters, great souls, who came to show us god and teach us how to live with each other. Still one God but teachers, prophets, aware humans, who we often did and still do turn into gods. There will undoubtedly be more of these frames but the last one I would do is simply this, an image of a human, looking at themselves in the mirror. and this would I would depict as an adult looking into the mirror but seeing a baby reflecting back. This is the new face of God, as we are all baby gods in the making. There is still a Source, but that Source has placed a part of Itself in all of us. And we are finding that part and integrating that Divinity into the human. As our linear time becomes more focused in the now, humans will come to know themselves as the "I", the one, the many, part, but the totality of All That Is because All is the Source. The great song of Creation, a harmonic chorus in Spirit, once only heard in Spirit, will come alive and be heard as the wind blows across this fair earth, and in the quiet stillness of a warm summer evening will we hear this choir of angels. What began as the All will be the many as One. The face of God as Many faces, humans, you and I.
