With all this talk about non-dual Judaism, whether or not Orthodoxy is the "true" Judaism that Progressive Jews are just too damn lazy or stupid to accept, or whether G-d even exists, I like to propose an idea. That G-d can be explained with a simple, straight line.
Take a look at this image and ask yourself, "what is this?" It could be a letter: a lowercase "l" or an uppercase "I." It could be the number "1" or part of "11."
Imagine this image, from the perspective of a person walking through the woods. If you saw this image, say stapled to a tree, what would it be? Perhaps a sign pointing you in the right direction toward a walking path? Maybe it’s a walking stick? Maybe it’s some kind of warning or a piece of graffiti left behind?
Flip the image horizontally. What do we have? a picture of the horizon, a "negative" sign or a dash mark.
Now, let’s take this line, and put it into a new context:
G – D
This single, straight line is now a part of something that philosophers, scholars, rabbis, priests and every day people have struggled with for thousands of years. It is everything for some, and nothing for others. It’s the being so close that you can touch it, or something so remote that you can never truly know it.
With one straight line, we can find a million different perspectives. So what makes any of us vain enough to believe that something as huge as G-d can ever be agreed upon or argued in any way that isn’t mental masturbation?
What is? G-d is! G-d is, is! And if for you, G-d is nothing, then G-d is still something. Thank G-d for that!
