Pronoia pg.234, #18 “Anyone who says he knows what God is or isn’t, doesn’t. Confess what you don’t know about God.”
Note: In this case, I’m just going to use the word “God” instead of the Universe or the Divine Presence or the Booming Ha-Ha, just because that’s how Breszny phrased it.
I don’t know if God has created a third or twelfth or 7,005th gender. I don’t know if God toys with people just for fun. I don’t know what my purpose is in God’s immediate equation. I don’t know if God thinks any religion has gotten it “right”. I don’t know if God is capable of more emotions than the ones humans are limited to. I don’t know if God has put life on other planets. I don’t know if God has ever had the need to do some soul searching. I don’t know if God has more notes or more colors or more verbal sounds or more temperatures than humans have discovered. I don’t know if God has ever tried to explain Everything to any one being and given that being the capability to understand It All. I don’t know if God had a number of blueprints for humans before he created us. I don’t know what other life forms he/she’s capable of. I don’t know if God is angry and damning of some people and compassionate and forgiving of others. I don’t know if God has any more of a tangible form than what I see before me in everyone. I don’t know if God has clearly, audibly spoken to anyone. I don’t know if God arrives in human form just to mingle and hang out on a daily basis. I don’t know what or who God thinks is stupid or pointless. I don’t know how many levels of consciousness God is capable of. I don’t know if God has preferences of any sort. I don’t know whether or not God plays favorites. I don’t know if God gets lonely being the only being who is all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present. I don’t if God laughs at the times humans try to argue or personify him/her/it. I don’t know if God is sentient or somehow even more omniscient than that. I don’t know how much God orchestrates and how much he/she allows humans to conduct. I don’t know how many other options God has other than “Good” or “Evil.” I don’t know how God possibly concocted the notion of time or space or infinity. I don’t know if God is actually affected personally by the things that happen in this world/reality. I don’t know if God minds being simplified into various forms so we can communicate and try to understand him/her better. I don’t know any more about God than he/she/it wants me to. I don’t know if humanity and this world and this universe is just another file in God’s massive workload. I don’t know what God’s favorite song-of-praise is. I don’t know where God is the most present in my day-to-day. I don’t know how to find and totally vibe with God’s intended rhythm. I don’t know what other things about God I don’t or won’t know.
