Do you think I am arrogant? I don't understand "God" because that word really means very little to me. I however have felt, have touched, have a growing understanding of what I believe some people call God. Other people still will call it all matter and dark matter in the universe. Other may call it the universal conciousness. The fact is I have felt it. Just as I have felt love and hate. Depression and elation. You can try to put all of those things into words, but does it ever really encompass what those feelings do to you as an individual? Could you really explain color to person blind from birth? Does that make color any less real? Try to describe the taste of something to someone who has never tasted it. You can say, for example, it is salty. But what if the word salty hadn't been created?
If you had never learned to speak would that make anything you felt or saw or knew any less real? In reality, though words are important to us they are quite meaningless to everything else around us. When you were a child do you really thing you thought in words or did you think in concepts? Desires? Wants and needs? Words came later as ways to describe these things we already knew. We've all heard it before...Children come into this world knowing everthing. Stop and think about how true that statement really is.
