God

Joseph Campbell, in the work/semi-autobiography "The Hero's Journey" explained something to me that finally rang true...He stated this simple but supremely enlightening statement: "God is a metaphor for The Mystery that absolutely transcends all human categories of thought, even the categories of being and not-being (those are also categories)...It's as simple as that".
In other words...there's no vaidity to the "My God's bigger and better than Your God" maxim.

God...is, and, I'm thrilled because I've known this for a long time, sez me.
