To Better Understand God

Know that to understand God, you will need to understand what God is and what God is not.  To this end, to better capture the attributes of God, I have found 7 paradoxical descriptions of God. These are the paradoxes, and they are listed here:
1)  God can be close or distant to one's Self;  2)  God's unconditional love has conditions; 3)  God is self-contained, complete, and whole, but constantly growing, expanding;  4)  God is sexless, but contains all masculine and feminine characteristics;  5)  God is faceless, yet can be seen;  6)  God's conscious mind is IT's creations;  7)  There would appear to be an infinite number of choices that can be made in every moment, but in fact there are none.
These paradoxes, and some corollaries to them, will be elaborated on in a section of this blog called Other Writings.
