God is

God is outside myself
one half
of the truth
God is inside myself
other half
of the truth

God is everything
one half
of the truth
God is nothing
other half
of the truth

God is beyond this world
one half
of the truth
God is within this world
other half
of the truth

God can be described
one half
of the truth
God cannot be described
other half
of the truth

God is transcendent
one half
of the truth
God is immanent
other half
of the truth

God is formless
one half
of the truth
God is form
other half
of the truth

God is angels and light
one half
of the truth
God is demons and dark
other half
of the truth

One half
of the truth
is not
the whole truth!

Verify this
in your own experience :
anything less
than
the whole truth
feels unstable
incomplete
unsatisfactory

So may we know ourselves
completely
fully
wholly

And in so knowing ourselves
may we know God
completely
fully
wholly

May we recognize ourselves
as a living paradox
beyond understanding
beyond thinking mind

May we live
and
may we act
from seeing
that God is
as we are
and God is
as we are not
