聽神談【為何「神並不比人更偉大」?】
沒有一件事能使神不快樂。(Nothing makes God unhappy.)
你無法相信這一點,是因為那會要你「相信有一位沒有需求或審判的神」,而你無法想像有這樣的一位神。你無法想像有這樣的一位神,是因為你無法想像能有這樣的一種人。你無法相信你們能那樣活著——你無法想像一位不比你們更偉大的神。
當你終於明白你能那樣地活著時,你就會明白所有你得知道「關於神」的一切。
你也會了解你的第二個評估──神並不比你們更偉大──是正確的。怎麼可能神不比你偉大?因為神即「你之為你」,你即「神之為神」(For God is That Which Is You, and you are That Which Is God.)。
摘自《與神合一》第1章
Nothing makes God unhappy.
You cannot believe this because it would require you to believe in a God without need or judgment, and you cannot imagine such a God. The reason that you cannot imagine such a God is that you cannot imagine such a human. You do not believe that you can live that way—and you cannot imagine a God who is greater than you.
When you come to understand that you can live that way, then you will know all there is to know about God.
You will know that your second assessment was right. God is not greater than you. How can God be?
For God is That Which Is You, and you are That Which Is God.
