Names for the Spirit Center.

Our reference to God is independent of any particular belief system that is directed toward an understanding of a higher being or higher power or ultimate creator. We refer to that Spirit Center, that presence of love, as God, for that is the way you refer to that presence. Names, of course, are not important. There is nothing special about the concept of a single over-riding God as opposed to other beliefs that try to understand a greater presence in multiple terms or very different names. The Spirit Center we could use constantly. We could also use descriptors such as the Centers of Spirit and all that that encompasses.

Should God be capitalized or not? Such concerns actually have no relevance to the reality of truth. Names are names, labels are labels, but they are not really the truth. They’re merely your efforts and the efforts of all human beings to establish a connection of understanding about what it means to live in a world that is organized in a particular fashion. What is that organization? What is your place within that structure? Those are the truths that are important.

There are those who read these meditations, these Messages, who may be in full agreement with the use of the word God, but there are others who may wish to identify that Spirit Center or those Spirit Centers by another term or terms, and that is of no importance, for ultimately you all seek an understanding of your connection to the force of creation, the presence of love, the unity of all. You may use any term that suits your objectives to establish a sense of unity that is bound together permanently by the force of love.
