In the Beginning
Over the next few posts, I will review the world I grew up in and lay some ground work for the eventual conclusions I hold at this juncture in my life. I am close to my three score and ten, so there are many years that have gone into this journey. This journey is my personal experience. If you do a search "The God Project" you will find that allot has already been written under this title. Yet, we all have a history that has lead up to our present ideas and beliefs about "God". And, we all have had events that uniquely played a part in our current view of Life and a Higher Power. Some of these events I wish to share, and I invite you to share your perspectives, personal events and experiences, as well as your current outlook. So let me begin with the term I have come to use for God; I use "Life Force", that "SOMETHING" within everything from the smallest element to the largest structures. "IT" is the something that can be sensed, felt, known, experienced, and seen -- in the form of the physical world. For now, however, let me share some of my journey.

This looks lilke a very interesting site with some great potential for the discussion of a powerful qestion i.e. who do I view God and what have been our experiences around the Energy we call God. Jill
Thoughts
I would offer that a ‘name’ is relative to its user from the perspective one ‘uses’ it to identify a particular being or entity as a matter of connection or of connecting to another based upon ones perceived association, relationship, connection, etc., although I will offer that the receiver then chooses to/or not to respond to an agreed, fixed or offered ‘label’ based upon its relationship to itself.
In other words, how one sees or views itself, as well as how it sees its relationship with the other, in my opinion, will most often be the determining factor in how the ‘communication’ will proceed or develop.
In knowing or understanding my relationship, both with myself and with another, I am better able to understand the strengths or weaknesses of that connection based upon our ability as a communicating couple to respond on a greater or lesser level, generally out of or from a position of reverence, relevance, respect, or responsibility; which [again in my opinion] stems from internal and external perception[s].
