Its like digging a thorn out of your foot using another thorn, after the thorn is out, you throw them away.
We give names to things we do not know. We do it ever time we find something knew. We do NOT drop the word just because we learned something about it. When you look up in the sky and see a star. We know that star is a big hot blob of plasma very far away. The people who first decided to call the lights in the sky did not know that. So did we stopped calling stars stars? No. It is the same for the cosmos. We gave it a name, and we recognize it as such.
Yes its a star, but its much more than a star, when I say star, your conditioning tells you what you have been told what is. But we are talking more about the concept of god, and this is what I am saying, there is something bigger than any of us will ever know, we are just a speck of dust on a speck called a planet, and here we are thinking we know so much abou8t what is out there. This mystery is what I call God, or Super Consciousness, or whatever name. We are a programmed mind body organism, we can only know what we are programmed to know, like other animals they are programmed in a way that we could never understand, but still we put labels onto what we think they know. We have our five senses to feel our way through this life, and only through those senses can we understand this life, but this life is beyond our senses, and we will never know all there is.
