God One of the weirdest assumption we instinctively make about anything is that is similar to something else. We categorize everything. One of the prayers in the Yom Kippur liturgy is, forgive us for those sins that we knowingly did or did unwittingly. Now if a sin was unwittingly done, meaning we were unaware that it was a sin, then how can we deem a mistake, an accident, a sin? Perhaps what it means is that if we thought a bit deeper then we would not make this sin of comparing everything to something else and arriving at and believing the exact opposite of what it is. The only thing we truly know about God is that he his UNLIKE anything we know. Everything we know is definable, whether in its location, in its personality: happy, sad, cheap, spendthrift, giver, taker and everywhere in between, or in its appearance, pretty, ugly etc. etc. The reason for this is that things exist in shapes that take up space and additionally they have personalities (at least the living ones do.) All of this is because everything is a creation of the infinite God, hence like the details of an artist’s landscape, there are categories, information, personalities to the multiple things in the arena. Yet when we think about the Creator, the source from whence all the things emanate out of, we suddenly are faced with – like the imagination of the artist – a different kind of creature. In imagination everything is possible, there are no limits as to what can and can’t be, and similarly we cannot compare the Creator to anything that is, for like imagination he is the ability, potential, Creator of all that is, which gives him infinite ability. Infinity can crate infinite worlds, universes, differences, things. Once we comprehend this simple truth, we realize another mistake we often make. Namely, that just as we and all things occupy time and space, where and when they are, similarly we think (subconsciously) that the Creator occupies both time and space. But like the imagination that contains the possibility for all things, it is beyond both time and space – in fact both time and space are things created by the Creator. In other words, the Creator is invisible indivisible, beyond us, but being unlimited, also the very truth of everything.
