Who or what is God? | July 15, 2025

God is referred to by many names across multiple different languages: Yahweh (יהוה), Jehovah, HaShem (הַשֵּׁם) and Adonai (אֲדֹנָי) in Hebrew; Allah (الله) in Arabic; Brahmā (ब्रह्मा) and Svayambhu (स्वयम्भू) in Hindi; God, the Lord, and the Savior in English; and in many other ways in these languages as well as in other languages. So what is God? God is the creator, the supreme being or the supreme force, the orderly within the chaotic, and the source of every single particle of the creation. God is the human conception of the all in full harmony with the laws of nature and reality. I cannot clearly define God, for God the primal force—the first source and the original force that set in motion every particle of every sub-division and sub-component—cannot be clearly defined within the material domain, for God exists within the material domain only as every force manifest therein, but God also exists outside the material domain and can only be understood by the man seeking the light, the man seeking to transcend beyond the material and the world of the beast. God is not one thing and cannot be reduced to the object of God or the subjective God, for God is expressed in every force in existence and every force is expressed as the will of God, as functions of the providential, and verily God is also expressed within man both in his body and soul, particularity in man's form of sentience – his advanced consciousnesses. Verily, the different religions of the world have different conceptions and descriptions of God and even within many of these religions God takes on many different forms: such is the case with Hinduism, Hindustani paganism, and Christianity, where the force that is described as God often is conceived within the holy trinity. Then there are religions such as Islam that have a more strict and objective conception of Allah, God, but still the nature of the Prophet Mohammed and of prophecy can be thought of as expressing some part of the holy and the sacred, particularly within the Sufi tradition. God is not objective nor is he subjective, for God is the axiom of the world and without God there could be no reference congruent with the nature of reality; this is true regardless of religion and this God can be said to transcend religion.

    Religion in this context has to be understood as the parochial expression of the nature of a particular people and a particular society, for religion is also shaped by the material in the circumstantial materialism under the sun in any given part of the world – but all religions are bound by the celestial order for they all converge around the sacred and the moral. It is proper for men to seek the light, but men are shaped by their circumstances and for each individual man as well as each man as a member of their particular sub-division God is manifest in different forms, just as the world makes itself apparent across multiple dimensions for the far seeing man. While the laws of the cosmos seemingly strive towards the nothingness of the nihilistic soup of entropy, it stands clear to reason that God is the force opposing entropy and the decay of substance, the decay of meaning within the creation. Everything moral, everything righteous, can be said to be derived from this source, God, and everything immoral, everything that promotes the decay of man, can be said to be derived from the absence of God, or indeed the evil, the thrill of the entropy itself.

The creator of the universe –
Yahweh (יהוה)

    Worship is man's attempt to bring out within himself, his fellow men, his prodigy, and the creation, the heroism of constructive means, the Godly and the sacred within the all, in order to set in motion the betterment of himself within the all. Verily, to operate for the betterment of everything is to operate for the betterment of the self, it is to promote the orderly and to work against the chaotic and the willful chaos of the beast and the laws of entropy. Of course, many religions, as previously mentioned, express God in different ways and the human expression of God often takes the form of extra man, or man with abilities that goes beyond the ordinary, often in an attempt to underline the higher status of the Godly man in the form of the Prophet of the demigod, as seen in the abrahamic faiths and in Hindustani paganism. For man to take the form of the extra man is to ascend beyond the orderly, beyond the material, and indeed it is to transform into the nobleman, to earn the rank of the man above men and to instill within the creation the destiny of men – this is the nature of prophecy. In the end, it would never be satisfactory to conceive of God in the forms suitable to man, for God is not under any obligation to make himself manifest in human form, nor is he under any illusion that man is worthy of profound insight without true effort, without having gained skillful means. God exists within you as well as outside of you, and whenever in doubt, remember that everything that exists for the purpose of the orderly, to oppose the beast and the laws of entropy, exists in some image of God and for the purpose of the Godly; this sentiment has also been expressed in Christendom in particular.

    God is not the object, God is not the subject, and God is not the formless—God is the orderly within the chaotic, the force that operates for the benefit of all sentient life. To try to clearly define God would be nothing but a pointless exercise in frustration and beastly conviction, for the beast prays on your doubt, always remember that.
