ONE GOD, MANY NAMES

 

 

Common Ground and Higher Space

A Ground of Being of Races. Cultures, Nations, and World Religions:

 

The Inner Space is experienced as a domain of "Silence" and the invisible light of life and love.

 

 

The practice of using God’s name in a particular way to transcend during meditation/prayer is common to and as old as the world’s major religions. That  is, reaching for the common and higher ground of being by employing thought. This "thought technology" involves transcending mental activity by using your preferred name for the One true God. In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was God . . .  A Name or Word is repeated in silence to gradually quiet the mind, provide access to inner resources of wisdom and Light.  This practice can be shown to activate a "Technology for Transformation"  (See New paradigm) This conclusion starts from the commonly held idea that there is but one most high source of light and life, an omnipresent. omniscient, and omnipotent essence, which some people call "The Ineffable,"  "The Unknowable," "the Source," or "God." The first task for peacemakers is to discover the secret of the ages, i.e. how praying the name supports a process for individual and global transformation, so that if it is peace that you seek," whatever you seek or ask in the Name will be granted to you."

 

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God.” [John 1:1] The Word has been called by many names among  various civilizations with differing languages, cultures, and religious traditions and at different stages in the evolution of human consciousness. By definition the Source of Peace (God) exists beyond all senses and sensory things, beyond all shapes, color, measure, and places; in pure essence is wholly without form and image, is beyond limits and limitations, and while present in a mysterious way to all things is above all things, having created all things from within, which experientially turns out to be an inner space of no-thingness. 

 

Therefore, the One called "God" must be more than an object of belief, more than a mere thought in anyone's mind. Because no one has ever seen God (Allah, YHWH, The Father, Om, Satnam) the Holy Spirit of God is established not only on faith, but also by experiencing in silence the Divine Presence abiding within you beyond the contents of your mind. We conclude that every thought arises from somewhere within the domain of human consciousness and that by transcending all sensory things; calling on anyone of God's names, and by transcending all physical and mental boundaries and  limitations it is possible for anyone to experience pure consciousness, i.e. to be in the Divine Presence which is a sacred inner space of simply being, experienced as absolute peace and silence. This belief about the nature of Almighty God is validated by mystical experiences and prayer practices of many Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, people of different faiths click on  Network of Light
