Thoughts on The Upanishads

This is such a powerful reading. I believe this reading to be true. I believe God is everywhere, within everything. But I also believe that we could never be able to understand Him. It's something that our minds can't comprehend. Like it says in the reading, "That which makes the mind think but which cannot be thought by the mind - that alone is God, not what people worship."

And it makes so much sense to me, that "those who think they know him, know very little", because how could anyone ever know something so grand, so powerful that He/"It" has created everything in the universe? How could we ever understand that? We can't.

Yea, God is love, life, and peace, but He is so much more. He cannot be fully described in words, not even in thoughts. I'm Christian, but i feel open to other thoughts of God, because i know that not even the whole Christian religion can explain Him. I think of God as The Creater, Love, The Great Spirit, my Heavenly Father, and something so grand and powerful, and so much more.

Maybe this is why we have so many different religions, because God is so much more than just the word "God". He's so much more, and therefore, many ppl have different interpretations of Him/"It".

We took my dog to the vet yesterday, and he was put to sleep. It was the hardest thing i've ever had to do in my life. I held him in my arms the whole time. The doctor put the needle in his arm, and my dog looked up at me, and the whole time, kept complete eye contact with me. While this was happening, i had a feeling come over me. It was so powerful, that i can't ever really n truly explain it. I can kind of describe it as trust, love, peace, and much strength... but it was so much more than that. It was so powerful, that i couldn't even cry. I didn't cry. The sun was shining in the room, and this feeling that i was feeling was so powerful and undescribeable. I was happy that I could hold my dog in his last moments, that i was the last person he saw, n that i was there with him all the way to the end. Some might think im crazy, but i feel like he'll always be around me. In spirit.
