In 2024, clocks will be set back one hour at 2:00 AM local time on November 3rd. Daylight Saving Time typically ends on the first Sunday in November. In 2024, it will end on November 3rd. Clocks will be set back one hour at 2:00 AM local time. Daylight Saving Time (DST) dates back to the early 20th century. The idea of DST is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, who suggested it in 1784 as a way to save candles. However, it wasn't seriously considered until much later. DST was first implemented in Germany and Austria-Hungary during World War I in 1916 as a way to conserve fuel. Other countries, including the UK and the US, followed suit. After World War I, many places reverted to standard time, but some continued to observe DST. DST was reinstated during World War II for similar reasons related to resource conservation. In the United States, the Uniform Time Act standardized the start and end dates of DST, beginning on the last Sunday in April and ending on the last Sunday in October. In 2007, the start date was changed to the second Sunday in March, and it still ends on the first Sunday in November. The effectiveness and benefits of DST are debated, with some arguing it saves energy, while others contend that it disrupts sleep patterns and has minimal impact on energy consumption. Today, not all regions observe DST, and some have opted out entirely, leading to a patchwork of time observance across different areas.

A naturally occurring mineral compound made of magnesium sulfate that is commonly used for muscle relaxation and detoxification, Epsom salt is a naturally occurring mineral compound made of magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄). Despite its name, it’s not actually salt in the traditional sense but rather a chemical compound that was first discovered in the town of Epsom, England, from where it gets its name. Composition Magnesium : An essential mineral for the body, supporting muscle and nerve function, regulating blood pressure, and helping with the production of protein and energy. Sulfate : A compound that can aid in the detoxification process and is believed to support nutrient absorption. Properties & Benefits Muscle Relaxation: The magnesium in Epsom salt helps reduce muscle tension, which can ease cramps and improve recovery after exercise. Detoxification : Some people believe that soaking in Epsom salt can help draw toxins out of the body, though more research is needed to confirm this. Magnesium Supplementation: For those deficient in magnesium, Epsom salt baths may provide a way to boost levels, though absorption through the skin is not universally agreed upon by experts. Common Uses Relaxing Bath Soak: One of the most common uses of Epsom salt is as a bath additive. When dissolved in warm water, it’s believed to help soothe sore muscles, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. Athletes and people with joint pain often use Epsom salt baths to alleviate aches, reduce stiffness, and speed up recovery after intense physical activity. Foot Soak: Epsom salt foot baths are often used to relieve foot pain, soften calluses, and even help with fungal infections like athlete’s foot. Exfoliation: Epsom salt can be used as a natural exfoliant to slough off dead skin cells and soften rough areas like heels, elbows, and knees. Constipation Relief: Taken internally (with caution), Epsom salt can act as a laxative due to its ability to draw water into the intestines. However, this use should be done with medical guidance. Gardening: Epsom salt can also be used in gardening as a soil supplement to help plants absorb nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus more effectively. It’s especially beneficial for magnesium-deficient plants. Liveology® creates uplifting content and products for abundant life.

A triangular-shaped bone located at the base of the spine, forming the posterior portion of the pelvis. Anatomy The sacrum is situated between the two hip bones (ilia) and connects the spine to the pelvis. It lies just below the lumbar vertebrae and above the coccyx (tailbone). The sacrum consists of five fused vertebrae (S1 to S5) in adults. These vertebrae are fused together to form a single, solid bone, giving the sacrum its characteristic shape. The sacrum has a natural curve, which helps to support the weight of the upper body and maintain balance when standing or walking. Functions Support : The sacrum provides structural support and shock absorption for the pelvis and helps distribute body weight to the lower limbs during activities such as walking, running, and standing. Nerve Pathway: The sacrum is also an important part of the sacral plexus, a network of nerves that innervates the lower limbs, pelvis, and perineum. The sacral nerves exit the spinal column through the sacral foramina, providing motor and sensory function to these areas. Protection: The sacrum protects the pelvic organs, including the bladder, reproductive organs, and part of the intestines. Common Issues Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction The sacroiliac joints connect the sacrum to the ilium (hip bones). Dysfunction can occur when these joints become inflamed or irritated causing pain in the lower back, buttocks, or hips, which may worsen with certain movements (e.g., standing up, sitting, or climbing stairs). Sciatica Although primarily related to the sciatic nerve, sacral issues can contribute to sciatica, where the nerve becomes compressed or irritated, causing sharp or shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down through the buttocks and along one leg, often accompanied by numbness or tingling. Movements & Postures to Align the Sacrum Click each photo to learn more.

Hint: Fix the hole in your heart. If you're here, you're probably seeking answers either for yourself or for a loved one, so I'm not going to preach to you. Here is some practical information about addiction and dependency and how to heal, completely. Before we start, let me just say that healing has nothing to do with the object of addiction in itself. It has to do with the root cause of why the person has turned to the object of addiction. Once a person heals the source, the desire for the object of addiction falls away naturally. As long as a person remains unhealed, traumatized, angry, unforgiving, and self-sabotaging, healing from dependency will remain impossible. Addiction is a strong word, and we often think about addiction in terms of drugs and alcohol, but one can be dependent upon pretty much anything. I would argue that most humans deal with some level of dependency on something, though most of us would not like to admit it. Those of us who actually get stuck on a physical substance might actually have it better because there is a tremendous amount of information and support for those who get hooked on drugs and alcohol. But what about those who get hooked on things like toxic relationships - shopping - our own anger at those who hurt us? Anyone who has a habit, compulsion, or even a trigger that feels difficult or even impossible to break has some level of dependence that is outside of their control. If that weren't the case, it would be easy to quit. But the flesh is weak. Humans can Become Dependent on Anything Other people Food Shopping Video Games Gambling Prescription Medication Tobacco Cannabis Hard Drugs Pornography Masturbation Sex with multiple partners Narcissism, self-obsession Our own anger, fear, trauma, negative emotions, etc. Why We Become Addicted - The Hole We become hooked on our object of addiction simply because it feels good - in the moment. The euphoria that comes from buying something or risky sex or being high feels good in the moment but only because it masks a feeling of deficit, whether that be fear, anger, lack, trauma, lack of self-worth etc. The only reason it feels so beneficial is because there is something missing in the first place. In reality, we become addicted because there is a leak (or many) somewhere within us, causing our operating capacity to be less than 100%. Our object of addiction temporarily increases our operating capacity, so we "feel better." The problem is, the hole is still there. The leak continues. The longer we go, the small hole may grow, and the little leak can become problematic for us because we're not actually dealing with the root problem. We have disguised it this whole time. In reality, the initial discomfort we were experiencing that led us to our object of addiction was actually meant to show us something that needed to be fixed. We wanted to feel better without fixing the problem. Once we deal with the root problem we actually feel better for good. And not only better, we feel great. Now that we have fixed the leaks and are no longer adding toxins to the situation, we are finally able to operate closer to 100% operating capacity. Our cup is finally full. The hole in our heart has been healed. Once we feel really good on our own, we no longer desire the object of addiction. The most remarkable part, is once we feel really good and are totally healed, the object of addiction will actually make you feel worse . Once you stop, you begin to see things more clearly. You realize that the reason it felt good was because you were operating at, say 50% capacity because of the leak within you, and you felt better because the object of addiction would temporarily take you to 75% operating capacity. But now that you've quit and you're pushing 100% with full cup and a happy heart, you realize the object of addiction takes you back down to 75%. There is no longer any benefit. The unfortunate realization is how many people in this world are truly operating at 50% operating capacity and feel the need to turn to external solutions to feel better. If you are struggling with dependency, you are not alone. Most people just hide it well, and things like social media allow us to present an image while masking reality. Once you realize that you can take yourself from 50% to 100% without any external means, and with no negative outcomes, the next action to take is obvious. Heal, find the fresh life, and run to it. The reality is that everything that is achieved through our object of addiction can be achieved in a clear and better way through simply healing yourself. Why Quitting is So Difficult If you truly want to heal and end your addiction for good, the answer is often not to go cold turkey. As someone who has attempted this multiple times, and have watched many friends just stop trying to quit and live for years within their dependencies to toxic partners, drugs and other objects of addiction, it is profoundly difficult for many reasons. Simply removing the object of addiction does not remove the hole in the person's heart that drew them to their dependency in the first place. In a situation where a person has forcefully removed their object of addiction but is not actually healed in their heart, the person will just turn to something else. The smoker in the absence of anything to smoke will just turn to alcohol. The sex addict in the absence of a partner will just turn to pornagraphy and masturbation. The emotionally dependent person will just turn to another toxic or abusive relationship. The gambler in the absence of a casino will turn to horse racing. The object of addition is truly unimportant, and the more we realize this, the easier it actually becomes to quit. If the person turns to their object of addiction because of unhealed trauma, the solution is to heal the trauma. If the source is anger at their parents, the solution is to find forgiveness so they can release the anger. So how does a person actually quit? Two solutions: a step ladder approach, simply for the purpose of seeking self-control and self-discipline and finding healing and wholeness within to eliminate it altogether. The Step Ladder Approach While alternatives are not totally quitting and so are not perfectly ideal, they can be tremendously beneficial as you create a step ladder approach to quitting over time. The step-ladder approach can begin to draw awareness to triggers and create levels of self-control and discipline that are often lacking during the depths of addiction. If you're engaging in addictive activities multiple times a day, in the morning, or all throughout the day, give yourself a simple limit or some rules around your habit. For example, say you can't smoke until noon or until you've completed an important task for the day. Then you can still smoke, but it can help you to be more productive as you wean yourself off. If shopping or gambling is a problem, give yourself a spending limit as a first step. Another alternative is to transition down to weaker substances. Transition from rolling up to a vape. Transition from harder substances to something that will give you "a feeling" but allow you to still be functional. Make a rule and stick to it. Try not to be hard on yourself but use everything as a learning lesson to give yourself more awareness of your triggers, your levels of self-control, and your ability to follow through on what you say you are going to do. These parameters don't even have to have anything to do with your object of addiction. You can make a rule about anything and make yourself follow it just to get in the habit of following through on what you said you would do. Identify the perceived benefits and find alternatives. Write down all of the benefits you perceive from your object of addiction. Be honest. If you like the social effects of drinking or smoking, consider what is preventing you from feeling comfortable without them. Is there anything you can do to feel more comfortable without those substances? Taking an improv class might be a good example of an alternative to feel more comfortable in social situations. If you're in pain, look for the origin. Prescription drugs and substances like cannabis is a beneficial temporary relief for your discomfort, but if not addressed will lead to dependence. Look for the origin of the pain. See a chiropractor who can tell you what is going on. Perhaps you are holding more weight on one leg than the other. Perhaps your hips are off. Perhaps there is a disc that is off. Perhaps, it's your diet. Much of this can be treated by a chiropractor, physical therapy, yoga, pilates, diet, and some other methods. Much of this information is available on Youtube and even on this website. Respect yourself. You will never be able to respect or listen to anyone else until you can obey your own commands to yourself. When we find ourselves in dependency, it's common for our relationships to also suffer. When we find respect for ourselves, and self-control within our actions, those characteristics carry over to improve every relationship in our lives. Finding Total Healing & Wholeness Within The step ladder approach is a temporary and beneficial solution toward quitting for good. Ultimately, quitting any addiction or dependence comes from healing the source of the pain, trauma, or negative feelings that led us there in the first place. Identify the deeper problem. Write honestly in a journal and answer the following questions. You might even seek a therapist who can help you to answer these questions. When did I start my object of addiction? What was happening at that time? When did my object of addiction go from occasional to outside of my control? What was happening at that time? What unspeakable things or traumas have I experienced? Am I still dealing with the effects of these unspeakable things? Who are people I am angry at and unable to forgive? What are my deepest fears and insecurities? How am I acting out my fears and insecurities? Am I ready to let go of my trauma, anger, and fears? If not, why am I holding onto them? Am I ready to forgive those who hurt me? Including myself? If not, why? What would need to happen for me to become ready, if I'm not today? Are there any people in my life keeping me stuck in bondage? Do I need to separate myself from anyone in order to heal fully? What does a life of freedom look like? What are 3 things I will be able to have or do once I let go of my addiction? Who can support me on my journey of healing and wholeness? Release trauma, guilt and shame. Negative emotions are the primary cause of dependency. We turn to the object of addiction to make us feel better in the moment, but afterward feel worse. This can manifest as a physical bad feeling, presenting as illness or pain. Or it can manifest emotionally as guilt and shame, self-deprecating emotions about how bad we are and why we suck so much. Even apart from whatever got us into addiction in the first place, these negative emotions are what keep us there. One of the first steps toward healing is identifying and releasing negative emotions. Forgive whoever hurt you. Forgive yourself. Accept that your object of addiction felt like it was needed at the time for you to survive a hard time without judgement or guilt about it. You did your best at the time. Now you can let it go and do better. Free yourself of the shackles of self-shaming and deprecation. Listen to how you talk to yourself in your mind. Intentionally replace any negative self talk with positive affirmations about yourself and prayers. If you need to, listen to motivational speakers or sermons that will help you to remember what positive self-talk sounds like and give yourself positive reinforcement every day all throughout the day, especially when you feel a craving, and even if you give in. Listen to these positive words all day and night if you have to as you rest your brain. Talk to yourself like you would talk to a small child who made a mistake. Skip the self-bashing altogether. Give yourself a pep talk and just try again. Every moment is a new opportunity to try again. Live in the present moment. Much of our negative emotion is related to things that happened in the past. Mindfulness, however, helps us to stay in the present moment, recognizing that all we have is literally right now. Life is simply a long series of "right nows." Our animal brains like to remember past events as protection. Just like a gazelle, remembering the times it was attacked by lions, our brains like to focus on the worst things that happened to us in an effort to protect us, thinking it will prevent it from happening again. While we certainly learn from the past, focusing on the past always keeps us stuck there, and often unintentionally repeating cycles of trauma and pain. If you are stuck with trauma or anger that is keeping you stuck and addicted, you are living in the past. Getting high and other addictive behaviors are often a form of escapism. Our trauma or our lives feel so bad that we just check out. But all that does it create a shell of a person. You have to make a choice to come back to reality so that you can live an abundant life, instead of remaining a shell. Let's be real. The comedown sucks. If you've been smoking weed, drinking, or doing drugs for a long time, it puts you into an alternate reality. You've been escaping from your life for a long time, so coming back might be jarring at first. Suddenly, reality will slap you in the face. You will realize how much time you wasted, opportunities you missed out on, and relationships you sabotaged. It might even feel boring without all the dramatic ups and downs and excessive toxic mind chatter you became accustomed to. This is when it's most tempting to go back to old tricks, partners and habits, but stand firm. If you made it this far, you're really ok and are in fact doing great! This is all part of the process of healing and unwinding so you can finally come to a place of peace and joy. Let go of all regret and be extremely kind to yourself during this time. Accept every realization as it comes as information and let it pass through you. Breathe through the discomfort. Meditation can be profoundly helpful to help you release everything. Then move on. The nightmare is over. Stop daydreaming. Get out of your imagination and back into reality. Focus on the present moment. What is happening right now? Give each activity, each conversation, each sight and sound all of your attention. When you focus on your sensory experience in the present moment, you become like a small child again and each moment becomes vibrant and exciting. Further, when you focus on the present moment with joy and gratitude for the smallest things like the sunshine, it's impossible to think about the past. And when you live fully, life is actually pretty good. Seek support. Support can come in many forms. Many people healing from dependencies turn to support groups and God for the strength and support to get out of their predicament. Ultimately, there must some some type of recognition that the flesh is weak and that we've gotten ourselves stuck by relying on ourselves - we need big help - a helping hand to pull us out of the quicksand. Support groups can offer the perspective of those who have experienced the same things we have and come out of the other side successfully. If all of your friends are also in a negative place or are also struggling with dependencies, it can feel impossible to heal as those friends will often try to keep you stuck with them in dysfunctional behaviors. Finding new friends or a support group can provide you with the positive light to help illuminate the path toward healing. Seeking God can offer the spiritual support of a source bigger than ourselves. God can also offer the big answers to our big problems and big anger. When things haven't gone the way we expected, friends often don't have the answers, but God does. Turning to the Source of all things can provide a bird's eye perspective on our lives that can lead to a deep understanding of our journey and can offer a feeling of relief that we no longer have to go through life pretending as though we have all the answers, carrying the tremendous weight of our lives on our own shoulders. We can literally give it away. And with this is instant relief and freedom. Affirmations I am clean. I am clear. I am healing. I breathe in fresh life. I breathe out what no longer serves me. I let go of the past. I forgive everyone who hurt me. I forgive myself for not knowing better before. I am doing better and better every day. My shackles are gone. I am free. I am whole.

The Love, the Light, the Creator, the Life Force. First of All, What is God? Interpretations of God Across the World Amen-Ra Elohim/YHWH Brahman Tao Om Allah Ik Onkar Is God the Same as Allah/Brahman/Om/etc? What is God's Nature? Is God male? Are there many gods? What does God want from us? People across the world and throughout history have pondered this question. Some have come to similar conclusions - others have come to varying ideas on the topic. Having grown up in the Christian church and studied both Eastern and Western religions, I have come to an interfaith view on God that I would like to share as it may be helpful to anyone trying to make sense of spiritual traditions across the world and determine whether they actually believe in this God-thing. First of All, What is God? God is simply the Source or the Origin of all things. God is the intelligence behind creation, the spark that created the big bang. God is the harmonizing principle, the thing that creates order out of chaos. God is the entity that created the almost too-perfect ratios of the universe that science can measure. God is the highest consciousness, the superbrain that humans get "bright ideas" from when we're super tapped in. God is the light that illuminates our minds, the light in the darkness both literally and metaphorically. God is that thing we can't put our finger on, that X-factor, that seems to hold everything together, including us. God is the life force energy (which yogic traditions call prana or breath and Chinese traditions call chi) that runs through all of us. God is love itself. Interpretations of God Across the World Amen-Ra Egypt Hymn to Amen-Ra 17th Century BCE Hail to thee, Amen-Ra, Lord of the thrones of the earth, the oldest existence, ancient of heaven, support of all things; Chief of the gods, lord of truth; father of the gods, maker of men and beasts and herbs; maker of all things above and below; Deliverer of the sufferer and oppressed, judging the poor; Lord of wisdom, lord of mercy; most loving, opener of every eye, source of joy, in whose goodness the gods rejoice, thou whose name is hidden. Thou art the one, maker of all that is, the one; the only one; maker of gods and men; giving food to all. Hail to thee, thou one with many heads; sleepless when all others sleep, adoration to thee. Hail to thee from all creatures from every land, from the height of heaven, from the depth of the sea. The spirits thou hast made extol thee, saying, welcome to thee, father of the fathers of the gods; we worship thy spirit which is in us. Amen-Ra and was considered to be the highest among the Egyptian gods was the god of the Sun, light, and all of creation. Amen-Ra was compared to a loving father who has many names but whose true name is ultimately hidden and whom all creatures worship. For this, Amen-Ra is also known as majestic, sustaining and taking care of humanity, helping the crops to grow, and providing beautiful jewels within the earth. Though there are other celestial beings or gods, all the gods worship Amen-Ra. Elohim/YHWH Israel Torah/Bible 15th-13th Century BCE But Moses said to God [Elohim], “If I come to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.”a He said further, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:13    Then Ezra blessed the LORD [YHWH], the great God [Elohim], and all the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” lifting up their hands. Then they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. Nehemiah 8:6 God in the Hebrew Scriptures, goes by a few names, Elohim is a plural masculine noun that is translated in the singular as God. The tetragrammaton, YHWH, indicates the name that cannot be said out loud and is redacted out of reverence so is often translated as the LORD. God also refers to Godself as simply I AM that I AM. In the Hebrew understanding of God, God reveals that though there are many created gods and false, manmade idols that other cultures worship, that this entity is the one true God, the actual Creator of Heaven and Earth, and the only being worthy of worship. Over the centuries, Elohim/YHWH/I AM gives the Israelites rules to live by. Follow and be rewarded lavishly. Disobey and receive punishment. Ultimately, however, Elohim/YHWH/I Am is loving and comforting, often described as a good shepherd or a loving father, simply trying to take care of and guide humanity from our wickedness into the promised land. Though this is written in historical contexts, it can also be taken as a metaphor for going from dark to light, from hell to heaven, or from lower consciousness to higher consciousness. Brahman India Kena Upanishad 1 Mid 1st Century BCE 5. 'That which is not expressed by speech and by which speech is expressed, that alone know as Brahman, not that which people here adore. 6. 'That which does not think by mind, and by which, they say, mind is thought, that alone know as Brahman, not that which people here adore. 7. 'That which does not see by the eye, and by which one sees (the work of) the eyes, that alone know as Brahman, not that which people here adore. 8. 'That which does not hear by the ear, and by which the ear is heard, that alone know as Brahman, not that which people here adore. 9. 'That which does not breathe by breath, and by which breath is drawn, that alone know as Brahman, not that which people here adore.' In Hindu philosophy, which is firmly polytheist, there are many gods. However, there is an Ultimate Reality known as Brahman. The Hindu idea of God considers the principles of the Universe, creation, preservation, and destruction, as three expressions of Brahman called, the trimurti, similar to the Christian trinity. In the trimurti, Brahma is the creator, Visnhu is the sustainer who incarnates comes to earth as Krishna, a savior type being, and Shiva is the destroyer. One can direct worship or attention toward any of them separately or as the Godhead Brahman together. Tao China Tao de Ching 1 600 BCE The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name. (Conceived of as) having no name, it is the Originator of heaven and earth; (conceived of as) having a name, it is the Mother of all things. Always without desire we must be found, If its deep mystery we would sound; But if desire always within us be, Its outer fringe is all that we shall see. Under these two aspects, it is really the same; but as development takes place, it receives the different names. Together we call them the Mystery. Where the Mystery is the deepest is the gate of all that is subtle and wonderful. In ancient Chinese philosophy, the Tao, also often called The Way is the creating and sustaining principle of the universe. The difference in Taoism as compared to Hinduism and Western religions is that the Tao is more of a governing principle than an entity to be worshipped. While there is not a concept of reward and punishment in the same way as the Judeo-Christian context, harmony with the Tao and its principles lead to a prosperous, heavenly life, while living in disharmony or going against the principles of the Tao leads to a much more difficulty. Om India The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 400 CE I.21 Samprajnata is near for practitioners who are applying themselves with full effort. I.22 Even among committed practitioners, some may practice with mild, moderate, or enthusiastic intensity. I.23 This state can also come from devotion to God. I.24 The Lord is a unique soul, untouched by the kleshas, karma, and the fruits of karmic action. I.25 The seed of God's omniscience is unsurpassed. I.26 And was the original guru to the ancients because The Lord is not limited by time. I.27 The Lord's name is the mystical syllable Om. I.28 Repeat this and contemplate its meaning. I.29 From this comes the recognition of the inner consciousness and freedom from all disturbances. In yoga philosophy, God, called Isvara , can be described as the ultimate or highest consciousness and is referred to by different names. The mystical syllable Om, which is chanted in many yoga classes is considered to be the divine sound, the sound of the universe, that we invoke to create harmony within our bodies and set the tone to tap into this higher consciousness and literally the name of Lord God. Purusha is another word used for the divine or holy spirit, and it is used in two ways. First, lowercase purusha identifies the soul or spirit that each of us has as an individual being. Uppercase Purusha identifies the ultimate or highest Spirit or Consciousness, which can also be referred to as God. In this philosophy, each human being has its own purusha , but we are simply the eyes and ears of the highest Purusha, simply observing existence from every possible angle, in every possible physical form. Upon total enlightenment, some schools believe that we even rejoin with the Ultimate, or God. Allah Saudi Arabia Quran 600 CE 1 In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. 2 All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds, 3 the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful, 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help. 6 Guide us along the Straight Path, 7 the Path of those You have blessed—not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray. In the Islamic tradition, following the Judeo-Christian tradition, God, called Allah, is the creator and sustainer of the universe and a being to be worshipped. Just as the birds wake up and sing, it is believed that humans also were created to sing praises to Allah. Allah is the only and final judge of human actions and will separate the faithful from the unfaithful in the final judgement, so it is beneficial for humans to follow the Straight Path of righteous behavior. Ik Onkar/Ek Ong Kar India Gugu Granth Sahib 1604 CE Ek ong kar sat nam There is one God/Essense whose name is truth In the Sikh tradition, Siks recognize one entity as Ultimate Reality or Truth itself. If you have ever practiced Kundalini yoga, you may be familiar with the phrase "sat nam," which is used to convey something to the effect of "my name is truth," but it points to the Ultimate Truth beyond all of us. Is God the Same as Allah/Brahman/Om/etc? Humans have very limited understanding compared to the expanse of knowledge that is possible. Though we try, our minds are simply unable to totally comprehend the magnitude of the Creator of the Universe. It appears from the similarity of revelation across the world that the same God has attempted to convey the same concepts of love and concern for one another all over the world. Every culture across the world, throughout history, has attempted to comprehend this entity with their own name in their own language and through their own cultural lens. Though each culture has a slightly different interpretation of God, ultimately, we're all referring to the same thing. Sure, there are some groups who want to affirm that their God is different than another, God, but often, I believe this is rooted in an attempt to make their religion superior to another. I would always ask someone who says this if they believe in multiple Gods, which generally the answer is no. Anyone who genuinely believes in one Source of all things instead of simply the superiority of their own religious practices, should be able to easily see the unity of God and that all who seek God are seeking the same thing, even if they call that entity by a different name. When we speak about God in the West, the conversation is often loaded with presuppositions based on the Judeo-Christian Bible because it has become so widespread. Often, when we speak about God, people assume we are talking about the God of the Old Testament and/or of the New Testament, though there are many other writings and understandings of God from across the world, each of which we will explore below. What is God's nature? Across the world, different cultures consider God to be the organizing principle of the universe. Though there are differences when it comes to the details, overall, this entity or being has the ability to create and sustain. God is harmonious, can make something out of nothing, beauty out of chaos, light out of total darkness. Understandings across the world and even science also seem to agree that God has created principles of the universe, such as the principles of gravity and the law of cause and effect. Living in harmony with these principles, or following The Way as the Tao would put it, leads to a smoother life, while going against them creates problems for oneself. How far this concept goes into karma or reward and punishment depends on the tradition. In Taoism, there is no idea of reward, punishment, or final judgement like that in Judaism/Christianity/Islam, but the law of cause in effect seems to stand - following the Tao benefits the individual, while not following it may bring self-harm the so it's best to just follow it. In the Hindu/yoga traditions, God is the Ultimate Reality guiding us to enlightenment and truth. This would indicate that God is a benevolent entity or consciousness that one can tap into or connect with and that doing so through various yogic practices such as chanting the Lord's name, Om, is beneficial for the individual to create harmony within oneself, harmony with other beings and harmony with the divine or the Lord/Isvara/Om. Able to create something out of nothing Welcoming, draws us closer Sustains & nourishes the Universe Benevolent Makes Light out of Darkness Established principles that govern the Universe Harmony out of Chaos Ultimate Reality and Truth, the greatest Teacher Radiates Energy that we can tap into Pure Love Is God male? The Spirit/Energy/Consciousness that created all things does not have a physical body and so God cannot be a man. God is neither male nor female. God is also not both male and female. God is pure spirit, a form of energy, through which all things were created and are maintained, therefore God is beyond biological sex or gender preferences in the way humans view those things. While both male and female can emanate from this one Source, the Source, which we call God is totally beyond such animalistic characteristics, in the same way the wind is outside of gender or sex. Often, many with a Judeo-Christian background will give God male attributes. There is reference for this in the Bible, with God referred to as Father. Jesus, in particular, called God his Father in Heaven. Christians extrapolated this to mean that God is male, though I believe that this is a misunderstanding and is simply an example of our limited human minds anthropomorphizing God in order to talk about God in terms everyone can understand. God is not a human being, that he should lie, or a mortal, that he should change his mind. Has he promised, and will he not do it? Has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? Numbers 23:19 Amen-Ra, the sun god and the highest god of ancient Egypt was also compared to a caring father. However, in the Tao te Ching, the Tao is referred to as female, the Mother of all things. While it may be a helpful example to refer to God as a loving Father or Mother, this metaphor can be deeply confusing as it infers that God has a body with genitalia. To me, this greatly diminishes God's grandeur, especially as the only uncreated being. While, again, this may be a helpful metaphor to understand the birth of creation, ultimately the Source of all things, which we call God has no body and so it is inappropriate to gender God as male or female. I find it most appropriate to use no pronouns when referring to God. The only beings that have physical bodies and male/female attributes are created beings, such as lower celestial beings, angels, animals, and humans. Are there many gods? Yes and no. It depends on what you mean by god/God. It appears to me that there is one God, one uncreated Creator, one Source of all things. And then, there appear to be many other celestial and physical beings who were created by this Originator. The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced All things. Tao Te Ching 42 God clearly doesn't exist alone. Pretty much every spiritual text that refers to God also refers to other celestial beings. These other beings seem to fit into the categories of angels (positive celestial beings), demons (negative celestial beings), ancestors (humans who have passed on), and lesser gods, though the lines seem to blur between these depending on the culture. This is to say that what one culture such as Christianity might call an angel, Hinduism might call a god. Either way, that entity would be some type of celestial being that was created and is not the Creator. Some traditions, such as Judaism and Islam, take a hardline monotheistic stance on this issue and say that there is one God and nothing else. And yet, even in the Hebrew Scriptures, when God hovers over the water and makes creation in Genesis 1, God is referred to as Elohim , which in Hebrew is a masculine noun in the plural, similar to words like cherubim and nephilim , and could be accurately translated as "the gods," though it is always translated in the singular. And yet, when creating humankind, the plural is used again as God says, Then God said, “ Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” Genesis 1:26 (Torah/Bible) Whether this "us" is the royal we or perhaps referring to angels and other celestial beings that God created before humans is open to interpretation. Though later on in other books we find Satan the Accuser and other celestial beings such as angels in God's company and interacting with humans. However, it is clear that in the Judeo-Christian/Muslim traditions that though God is one, there are other celestial beings, whom some other traditions might call gods. Christians, while also believing in one God, consider God to exist in a triune sense, considering God to exist in three persons, the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. Jesus, called the Word in the Gospel According to John, is said to have been with God in the beginning. Upon his death and resurrection, Jesus indicates that a Spirit would come down in his absence, and at the Pentecost the Holy Spirit appears. However, Muslims, would say this is affirming three Gods. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being 4 in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. John 1:1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Acts 2:1 Throughout the Old Testament, there are multiple references to angels interacting with humans and singing praises to God, the highest being. In the New Testament, there are also multiple stories of people possessed with demons and Jesus and the disciples removing demons from people's bodies. These demons would also be examples of negative celestial beings who do not, themselves, have physical bodies. The Quran also refers to these types of beings, referring to angels and jinn. Hindus, though firmly polytheistic with a pantheon of gods, also affirm the highest God in a triune sense, considering God to exist in three persons, Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the sustainer, who incarnates comes to earth as Krishna, a savior type being), and Shiva (the destroyer). African spirituality also considers there to be multiple celestial beings including gods and ancestors, though there is often a concept of a highest god, who is often the creator. As in the other traditions, there is a combination of benevolent and malevolent spirits. God The Creator of all things, the Source, Ultimate Consciousness Lesser gods Created celestial beings that can impact human events, may be negative or positive Angels Created celestial beings that are positive, helpful, altruistic, makes miracles Demons Created celestial beings that are negative, creates chaos, harm, negative thoughts Ancestors Created human beings that have passed on - may be negative or positive Humans Created life form with a physical body, consciousness, ability to reason, override instincts Animals Created life form with a physical body, consciousness, bound by instinct Plants & Fungi Created life forms with a physical body, limited consciousness, can interact with environment Minerals Created elements that are physical, can be combined in different ways, no consciousness What does God want from us? Depending on tradition this answer can vary widely, though generally concepts of God's expectations of humanity include positive things such as personal improvement, following a certain path that will lead to positive benefits while avoiding paths that lead to negative results, diminishing the ego in some way, and sharing loving, positive energy with other beings. In Taoism, though the Tao can be considered to be God, the Tao is not a being that demands obedience. The Tao is a set of principles called The Way that set the order of the Universe. Following the way leads to positive results, rebelling against the way leads to negative results. In Hinduism, God is the Source of all things, the Ultimate Reality and truth that helps us along the path of evolution through our various births. In Hindu philosophy, we are born into samsara, a state of existence where beings die and are reborn multiple times through various lives, and one's karmic debt, or the result of their past unresolved actions determines the circumstances of their birth and the events they will experience. As we go through each life, we are to follow our dharma or life purpose, so that we can learn the lessons needed and evolve to new levels of samsara. God and the various gods are available to help with the process. In Judaism and Islam God is a conscious being who wants to teach humanity the ways of righteousness, asking humanity to follow laws prescribed as closely as possible as an expression of devotion and worship. Because we stray from God's will and find ourselves in a negative place with negative consequences, we must repent and ask God for forgiveness in various ways. God blesses obedience in this life and in the future if one makes it to join God in Heaven. For the most part, Christianity believes in all of this with one exception. Instead of the burden being on ourselves, the belief is that Jesus came as an intercessor or savior to help humanity with its incessant sin problem. Within Christianity, God wants us to repent, forgive and have total love and trust in God so that we can tap into our maximum potential. As an expression of God's radical love for us, we should extend love toward each other. Liveology® creates uplifting content and products for abundant life.
