God is reliable. Any god which is not reliable, is not God. There are many realities upon which we cannot successfully rely. We need to come to honestly know upon which realities we can/cannot honestly rely. If often we try to rely upon unreliable realities we are disappointed, frustrated, angered, and disintegrate. Unreliable realities are associated with dishonesty, pretense, tension, arrogance, manipulations seeking control, rigidity, confusion, forgetfulness, indifference, alienation and depersonalization. If we rely upon reliable realities, then we are fulfilled, relaxed, endeared and integrated. Reliable realities are associated with honesty, humility, relaxation, letting go, flexibility, clarity, endearing remembrance, healthy concern, forgiveness, reconciliation, and love. The ultimate reality upon which we can honestly rely we know as God. When we come to know upon what reality we can rely with th ultimate confidence, we relate to that reality as God, and help others know what we have come to know with ultimate confidence as being reliable as God. The ultimate reality upon which we honestly rely is known as God. There are many ways in which we may point to the ultimate reality which is reliable to us. Such ways of pointing are similar, but not identical to each other. Each such way of pointing to the ultimate reality is different in a way which may be, or may become, significant to us in our search for what may be ultimately reliable to us. What is ultimately reliable to us is worthy of being shared, and will not be truly ours unless we find and fulfill our being in sharing what is ultimately reliable to us. We lose what is ultimately reliable to us in trying to keep it as ours for our special use and fixation. We cannot use it to fix ourselves. It is not a tool for our use/abuse. It is not a technology or technique by which to achieve the goals which we choose. It is not a fix. We cannot use that which is ultimately real and reliable t us. When we are most present with that which is ultimately real and reliable to us; we are known by and know God in the eternal now. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
