The Language of God
“The language we don’t know but lives in all things”
Since the beginning of human history, we have carried a mystery about God while rarely questioning the language through which we have imagined His existence. We have given Him the characteristics through which we recognize ourselves: a face, a voice, intention, location, personality, movement. Even when we call God invisible, the mind can quietly continue imagining an invisible version of a human being.
The difficulty has never been God’s invisibility. We have been searching for Him in the wrong language. Human consciousness knows existence through an extraordinarily narrow translation. We see through a small range of light. We hear through a small range of frequencies. We touch surfaces. We name objects. We measure distance. We organize matter into bodies, mountains, planets, stars, cells and atoms, and from what our senses and instruments allow us to receive, we construct an intelligible world.
That world is extraordinary. But that does not mean it is the whole world.
Five thousand years from now, human consciousness may carry a circumference of knowledge that makes some of our present assumptions appear as incomplete as the physical assumptions of two thousand years ago appear to us. A person living in the first century could breathe hydrogen without possessing the concept of hydrogen. Atoms participated in every object without waiting for humanity to name them. Blood moved through bodies before anyone understood circulation.
Existence does not wait for human consciousness to understand the language in which existence is occurring. And that is True with God.
We have assumed that intelligence must resemble thinking because thinking is the form of intelligence most immediately recognizable to us. But intelligence surrounds the thinker long before the thinker understands what is happening.
Thought is only living for moving through a temporal story.
The infant does not construct its cells. The child does not instruct its intestines to grow. We do not consciously coordinate the enormous microbial communities inhabiting the body. We do not tell wounds how to close, teach immune cells their responses, or intellectually direct the billions of processes necessary to remain alive while we sleep.
The narrator awakens inside an intelligence already underway. And then the narrator calls itself the human being. And that assumption is accepted, and we don’t go deeper beyond the mind’s eye to know more.
Matter is a Nothingness only Existing in Consciousness
What we call matter is not the deepest layer of creation. Matter is where a deeper order becomes expressible at this level of consciousness.
Think of a computer screen. A person sees a button. Behind the button may be thousands of instructions, relationships, conditions, dependencies, and processes. None of them look like the button. The visible object is the final expression of an invisible architecture.
Creation is infinitely more profound, but the analogy gives us somewhere to stand.
A tree may be what an unimaginably deeper order looks like when expressed as tree. A human body may be what another configuration of that order looks like when expressed in matter.
A star is another expression. A bacterium another. A galaxy another. The forms differ enormously. Yet underneath them may be relationships, patterns, transformations and intelligibility that do not belong to the visible forms themselves.
This is where language becomes powerful. Not language as vocabulary. Not even mathematics isolated. Something closer to the architecture of becoming.
A language through which one condition knows how to become another. A language through which relationships are maintained. A language through which form emerges, changes, dissolves and reorganizes. A language that matter does not speak aloud. Matter becomes.
God’s Language
The light of all things moving in ways we rarely have eyes to see. Shifting skies and moving hearts without anyone seeing Him. Human language says: tree. The deeper language grows one. Human language says: heart. The deeper language coordinates one before the child possessing the heart knows what a heart is. Human language says: star. The deeper order was already carrying stars billions of years before a human mouth produced the sound.
Our words arrive afterward. They are labels consciousness places upon the visible results of processes it did not originate. This is why God becomes difficult when human beings try to contain Him in human description. We place human precepts, practices, laws, rituals, and protocols as knowing God or being with Him.
The golden calf became every religion. The mind doesn’t search for the muscle in the Soul; it wants what is tangible and in front of it. We can’t summon God like a genie in a bottle, and God doesn’t live for human beings dancing for Him. The language we seek is deep in the Soul and is the light of our temple in Him. The mind won’t find it, but the Soul does. God carries us into deeper substance for knowing Him.
He has no facial features or body and lives very differently than how we imagine. His existence exceeds our ability to conceptualize Him. There’s an abysm in the Soul we have for knowing God, no matter if we think we are polytheistic or atheist. When God wants us to know Him, we do.
Our questions about God tend to already contain the limitation. We don’t live in deeper layers to contemplate who is thinking, what human is and isn’t, or what being alive is and isn’t. We assume we know.
A Different Kind of Living
God is in Los Angeles, China, and the furthest star at the same time.
God does not have to travel between them. Travel is something a localized body does. The underlying Light of creation is present throughout creation. Our question, “How can God be there and here simultaneously?“ arises only because we apply the architecture of a human organism to something that does not exist as an organism. Angels are not human beings with wings. And reality, matter, and the human narrator are far beyond the idea we carry of them.
Human consciousness keeps asking how God can be alive without the characteristics by which humans identify living things.
No lungs. No blood. No neurons. No mouth. No face. No localized body. We try to distinguish God’s existence in our expression of livingness, but He created us. Being created, God shaped how the word could live in matter. His light is outside of everything humanity carries as a living entity.
Resonance as Livingness
Deeper language blended in all layers of life builds the relationship itself to carry the instruction. One state corresponds with another. One movement changes another. One frequency receives another. One configuration permits something that another configuration cannot. Blended with other races of intelligence, we walk in another light we do not know of until that time comes.
The infinite Divine Light. Different orders of intelligence receive, translate, and express different possibilities of the same originating Light. Human consciousness is one translation. Not the center. Not the totality. Not insignificant either. One language of reception within an immeasurable creation. Spirit is the continuity between the human translation and the Light from which it is being translated.
The Observer is Inside the Translation
The observer looks at a human being and says: body. But that is already an interpretation. The observer says: eight billion people. Another useful interpretation. The observer says: Earth. space. life. death. matter. consciousness. Every word gives the human mind a coordinate. But the coordinate isn’t the underlying reality. The mind sees the rendered world. It does not see the language rendering it.
The idea of other races blending with human consciousness only begins to make sense when we understand that the idea of human has been young. Blood knew it was ging in our veins before we knew what blood was. We haven’t understood what a human being is because we can idealize from matters level, which is the lower mind position. We don’t know Spirit or conscious energy.
That is why reality feels so complete while remaining so mysterious. We are inside the output. And because we are inside it, we mistake what appears for everything that is occurring. The mind is making everything real even if it’s an illusion. We don’t see creations different races nor do we watch Angels walking the streets.
God Living in Another Language
God has never been difficult to find. We have been looking for His livingness in the language of matter while creation has been speaking His deeper language everywhere.
Blood moving before we knew blood. Cells differentiating before we knew cells. Stars forming before we knew stars. Life organizing before the thinker appeared. Consciousness receiving before the narrator had words.
And beneath all of it, an intelligibility of relationship and becoming so fundamental that matter itself is one expression.
Life tries to remove the thinker, the storyteller, because of the Soul’s living depth. The storyteller carries ego, satan, and the little person, while the Soul is consciousness.
The human being lives in human precepts, trying to make God’s existence at its level instead of leaving it for God’s, which is why we are to lose our lives to gain them in God, and why God is not in religion. A much deeper language of understanding and living is in the Soul.
God’s language, creation’s translation, matter, biological intelligence, consciousness, and the human narrator are layers of one descending architecture.
The human word, our interpretation, meaning, and attachment are the end of that chain. God’s language is before the word. So much life lives outside our eyes, yet we can touch it and be part of it.
The mind that needs churches, temples, and what is tangible is the mind that doesn’t leave satan for God.
