I’m so very impressed by the number of thought provoking questions that have been submitted for Erik to answer. The list is very long now, so if you are one of the ones who has asked questions, I promise I’ll get to them. I just hope you’re patient! That said, I’m still open to more questions, so bring it on! And now for today’s topic:
Me: What does God look like and how was He or She created? I think we’ve asked this before, but a blog member wants to know or maybe just needs clarification.
Erik: What does God look like? God is energy and can present itself to you anyway that YOU feel that you want to identify with God. If you’re thinking omnipresent and full of energy, that’s what you’re going to get. If you’re thinking white guy with a beard, that’s what you’re going to get. If you identify with God as a woman, that’s what you’re getting.
Me: Well, what does God look like when He or She or It looks into the mirror?
Jamie and Erik laugh.
Me: No seriously! What does God see in the mirror?
Erik: Mom! The mirror? The mirror is US.
Me: Oh, whoa!
Erik: You know, God divided God’s energy to know God’s self by going through us. We’re the many, many mirrors.
Me: So God isn’t inherently a white ball of light or anything, right? Unless I want to identify with him that way.
Erik: Right. God is us and we are God, part and whole.
Me: So, how was God created then? I’m guessing that since linear time is an illusion, that God always “was.” But we want you, the expert, to intervene here.
Erik (laughing) Did you just call me an expert?
Jamie (giggling): He thinks that’s funny. He’s repeating what you were saying about God always being there, but humans can’t understand that there is no beginning or end. You know, we’re not getting born, then getting older, then dying and disappearing, but that’s what most people tend to think. That’s their frame of mind.
Erik: God Source or God Energy has always existed. It was not created with the Big Bang. It didn’t grow with evolution. We’re the ones—humans—who were created by the Big Bang and evolution. We can’t compare ourselves to God Energy, and that’s what humans will automatically try to do.
Me: Okay.
By the way, I just want to say that my eldest, Kristina, is graduating from medical school tomorrow! She’ll be a bonafide, certified doctor, then she starts her anesthesiology residency sometime in June. Busy lady lately. I couldn’t be prouder. I know Erik is, too.
