What is the biggest thing that you can imagine?
What (if anything) is God?
Or, to ask the question a different way, what is The Ultimate? What is the biggest thing that we all belong to? What is inside each of us and beyond all of us? Different religions of the world have different ways of answering this question, and there is no one “right” answer that allows someone to say “This is what God is like. I know for sure.” Some people relate to a personal God who watches over them and gives them comfort. Some people understand God as something more abstract: the creative force of the universe, or Love. Some people figure that God is just a story that people make up, and not necessarily even a very good story.

What is God? I vacillate between the mystic concept that God is everything and the Jewish reconstructionist concept that God is just the good stuff. I lean toward the latter.
What if the unknown god is present in everything? Gives new expression and dimension to saying “OUR father, who art….” Or as the Lakota say, Mitakuye Oyasin – all our relations.
God is Love, and is the sum total of all there is. “There is no place where god is not.”
