1228.1 | my gut reaction | CASDOC::CHARPENTIER | | Wed Apr 24 1996 14:59 | 11 |
| Find God?
God isn't lost.
One might sit still
and become receptive
to God.
Tough to do sometimes.

| Where ever you are, that is where God is. God is transcendent over
time and space.
How to be aware (concious) of God's presence is much harder I think.

| Well, I was kind of expecting to see answers such as:
"In a cool Spring forest morning,"
"In an ocean breeze on an isolated beach at sunset,"
"In the face of a kind stranger,"
"In a magnificent cathedral with Bach playing in the background."
I realize God is everywhere. But we are more aware of God's presence at
times, are we not?
Shalom,
Richard

| "God exists as much in the transmission of a motorcycle and
the circuits of an electronic computer as He does on a
mountain top or in the pedals of a flower. To say otherwise
is.... to demean God."
paraphrased from _Zen and the Art
of Motorcycle Maintenence"
Robert Persig
No, the place seems to have more to do with what *we* need
for "props" than with finding a place where God is.
A side question: is it ethical to do something to feel closer
to God? Is it right to climb a mountain in hopes of communing
with God? Or should we only perceive God if He comes to us?

Thee has spoken truly. At the same time, Elijah's mystical experience
pointed to where Adonai wasn't in addition to where Adonai was.
Shalom,

Actually, I read it more along the lines of finding God they way one
would find there way home.
