GOD
Is
Student: You have taught that God is simply an Isness. And you use many terms besides the term God to refer to this life-force intelligence. But why do you often choose to use the words "he" and "Father"? That seems to perpetuate the notion that God is not only an identity outside of us but a male character, and that seems a bit offensive to some women. Ramtha: To educate the whole of humanity, one must utilize the different terms which have been used to describe God; that is, one must refer to the Isness in ways that all can relate to. Though the Isness has been referred to as the Father and thus thought of as a male gender, the Father is not a man; yet man in his gender is the Father. But so be woman, for the Father is both male and female. The term God is sexless. It means supreme intelligence. Those who do not understand the term Isness need to know the word Father. Those who do not understand supreme intelligence need to know the word God. Master, if one insists that God is a Father, that is his truth. If there are women who are outraged because someone has called God a male gender, then that is their truth. But God will always be the perception of what God is, and that will always be unique for each entity. God is not a word. It is a feeling that lives within each of us. And the more unlimited your perception of God, the grander and more joyful that feeling will be as it encompasses more of the emotion called God Almighty. Ramtha (to an elderly woman in a wheelchair): Dear lady, who rides on silver wheels, what say you? Student: I love God, but I'm afraid of dying. Ramtha: Why? Student: I don't know. I can't reach the bottom of it. I've thought of it and thought of it and thought of it. Ramtha: Do you believe in hell? Student: Yes, I do. Ramtha: That is why you don't want to die, for that is where you feel you are going.
