God is all that.... and more.

To the modern human the end and the beginning of the 365 day calendar is a completion of a cycle.  And so in that context we have just finished one such cycle, 2011 and began another, 2012.  At the beginning of this new cycle I would encourage you to expand your definition of God.  The problem we have had is that of making God in our image, which is basically the creation, in our own minds, of a super human figure, usually male and very old.   It is difficult to think outside of the human box to expand our definition of God but I would hope that it would make sense to do so to any human thinker.
We often talk about living forever.  It is a promise of heaven, it is supposedly what Vampires do.   So we are not unfamiliar of the concept.  But now, think of this 'forever' as having no beginning and no end.  Now think of the universe not as 'the universe' but of multiverses.....   numbered beyond human imagination, infinitely back in time and no end forward in the future.   God is all that.  And if God is all that, what does God do?  Make more of all that....  universes constantly created coming into being, others ending cycles and going back into 'all that'.  Energy constantly changing, forming, unforming but never dying.  God is all that......  In this new year I encourage you to expand your thinking a little.  God is too big for a single religion but as long as there are humans there will be humans trying to place God in a human size box.  A large one of course but still a human size box.   God is all that.... and more.
