THE WAY WE SEE

 

THE WAY WE SEE - Is God as Creator, or the First Cause, that transcendent Being that set the universe into motion and then, like a great watchmaker, stepped away from it?  Or is God as Creator the immanent Divine Energy at work always in the universe and world around us that is manifested in new life, beauty, and love?  Such is the age-old theological question.  Authority figures have come down on both sides of the theological fence.  The poet Hafiz came down on the side of God's immanence, whom he saw in everything around him.  I think Jesus probably did as well.  It all has to do, I suppose, with the way we see.
