I don't have much of an idea what you're talking about I'm afraid. Sure, if I learnt something new about my wife it would be important. But such analogies aren't very helpful to me. Can you give me one example of something I might learn "about God" which should make any difference to me? [2]
It appears to be phrased in such a way that learning about God is just learning about myself, or learning about reality. [3] I've never understood your idea of "God" I'm afraid. [4]
1) Thanks
2) We're working towards that. There is a woman who is your wife. Does your relationship with that woman (i.e. your wife) make any difference to you in regards to how you act towards other women? Why?
3) Well, I happen to believe that to be the case. Maybe not the whole case, but certainly part of it.
4) That is both good and disappointing. If god is what it is, then a full and all-encompassing understanding of what-it-is is beyond our capacity. It is disappointing that I am so poorly explaining even a slight understanding. Consider this:
Rob is being human.
God is being being.
In being human, Rob needs the action: to be.
God is that act.
Rob's being human is a "tapping into" what-god-is.
