I can't wait to explore your site. "God is a verb and we are the process" That's a stunning turn of phrase. Have you ever read "The Parable of the Sower"? I'm on my second read of the novel now and it plays with this idea of what God is. “RTC”

“God is a verb and we are the process”

That’s a stunning turn of phrase. Have you ever read “The Parable of the Sower”? I’m on my second read of the novel now and it plays with this idea of what God is.

As a Jew by birth I gradually found myself embracing a rich tapestry of indigenous spiritual beliefs, healing arts, and expressions. Hence I am increasingly inspired to write about the nature of Divinity and spirituality, and our role in the manifestation. Love your insights. Thank you for sharing the yummy fruits of your labor as you peel your pomegranate. You are not just 'here,' you are present.

And I'm beginning to wonder if it is not the answers that are of most importance, but rather the questions and the sense of exploration and discovery.

And we are talking about two very different world views and experiences of the Divine. Are they wrong? For me, yes. I don't believe there is any one answer when it comes to the Divine, magick, or anything of the spirit world. Ofer,

That's a view most Rabbis preach. Is it wrong? If not, then what I think you're really saying is that we need to start praying wholeheartedly and not in such a passive way. While true, these days a lot of people (and books about the subject) claim that the difference between magic and prayer is that prayer ask a higher force to decide for you, while in magic you are the one who is making a change, and not only asking it.
