God As Object Before Name

“A monk says: 'Is there anything more miraculous than the wonders of nature? The Master says: “Yes, your awareness of nature.” (From World Wisdom Inc.)

God is “nameless” in the sense that God is an Object, not a name. We can correctly name God only when we name the Object God. God came before the name of God, not after the name.

The Inward Path sees the Soul-Within, which is not the Divine Object God, but the Soul of the Body, the highest aspect of the body, but this is not the Seed of God or the Activation of God—the Spirit is the Seed of God and the Will to Godhood. It is this Soul-Within that appears to some as nameless in as much as it is not God but the Soul of the body.

Seeking Absolute Knowledge is seeking to think like God. Seeking the Highest Good is seeking to act like God. Seeking the Highest Beauty is seeking to look like God. These define the Divine Object, the Trinity. Seeking any one of these alone is not the Complete God. The Inward Path tends to seek Absolute Knowledge alone, which tends to be the way of Traditional Religions.

Because God comes before the naming of God, seeking the Highest Good and the Highest Beauty seems to be more important than seeking Absolute Knowledge because Goodness and Beauty define God as the Divine Object, whether God is or is not defined by Absolute Knowledge.

God is more a biological imperative than a mathematical imperative, since we evolve to God. This brings science back into religion where it belongs.
