There is only one that is nameless...and this one is within us all, we are also of this one.
Spirit, is nameless...not bounded to human things like language. Before mankind....what would be the Holy Spirits name? It just was, the essence that holds the potential of life, the one that is within all life, without it, nothing is except it, the IAM.
IAM is yet a description...but not a name. As soon as we try to name it, we bound it, we limit Thee.
Again...there is only one that is nameless. You have a name...but the Spirit within you does not. We can use many words to try to describe its perfection, its 'infinite' self , I call it simply 'Thee'.
How do you name something that always has been and will always be? Before all languages and after all languages cease. It still just 'IS'. I try not to use the word 'God' to describe 'Thee' for the word 'God' is highly distorted with many different images. How do you name, what is pure and holy and what 'was' before any humans were here to utter a word?

I do not find all the laws and statutes of the OT wise, but some of their descriptions of God agree with my experiences. God is not like us.

Matthew 22:39 states

Seems like a slap in the face of Christ's specific second commandment frankly...if loving yourself is an illusion as you state, then loving others is also an equal illusion and this Jesus guy was telling us to lie.
I fail to see your perceived contradiction my friend. If you love yourself, you know that you cannot provide it to yourself. That would be a delusion, as I have illustrated. To love yourself, you must love your neighbor, that he will be inclined to return the love you gave.
Choose to have it any way you like my friend. I am just giving a message. One that should be obvious within you, if you dare look for it.
With Love,
Your Brother

Do any of you yet understand? Love is not exactly what we percieve it to be, and I'm fairly sure I have no idea what it is either. Perhaps love is, or is not, the most important aspect of our lives. We must not leave it to philosophists and wise men, but meditate upon the paradigm of consistant thought ourselves. It is the only way to truly understand, and still afterwards, we shall not.

Two men sat on a hill and both spoke like a lion, one of those two men spoke of many beautiful things in the world and the other spoke of many ugly things in the world. One gave warning while the other said don’t worry we have these beautiful things to look upon turn thy face away from that which though perceives to be ugly. Then a child came along to the two men and listened to both of them and decided the one speaking of beautiful things must be the truth.
Another child came along and saw the two men and he decided the one speaking of many ugly things must be the truth. Then yet a third child came along and he looked at both men who were speaking and he decided neither is right but listened deeply within himself and discerned that both had some truth and took from them that which he measured and discerned to be truth. Which child therefore perceived the truth to be correctly?
For I say unto you that many in this world perceive truth according to their own eyes and minds and that which they behold to be truth which is unclear. Their eyes have become distorted and are imperfect and incapable of perceiving pure truth unless first cleansed and washed out through the Son of the Father so it may than in return through the Holy Spirit see, perceive, interpret and discern the truth correctly. Do not believe your own eyes until they are first cleansed and washed away that they may properly see what is in front of them. For the Father reveals the truth through the Holy Spirit and if one cannot properly discern the Holy Spirit one cannot see and know the Truth. Use this as an experiment and pray to the Father for guidance and assistance to direct you in all things so that ye may know of the truth in all things through the Holy Spirit that will reveal truth of the Father. Peace be with you.

I have no doubt in my mind that when Jesus said that the only way to the kingdom of Heaven was through him, he meant to be and act like him, i dont need someone to show me the way, im finding it myself, in fact i feel God is with me all the time, his presense is with me as i sit at this computer. God doesnt need me to accept anyone or anything, he just wants me to remember who i am and find my why back home, realising that none of this is really real. You are a hollogram of God, everything you need is inside you, the challenge is to find it and know how to use it.

My friend,
I dare not say more on the nature of God to you, for it is your journey to discover him. You have made the first step toward him, and he has made two towards you in return. Continue to build that relationship. Nurture and grow it. In times when your faith is tested, be strong in what you know.
I do want to let you know I am happy for you that you have had the experiences you have. I hope you find as many if not more blessings in your growing relationship as I have found in mine.
With Love,
Your Brother
