God is Fluid

In this current era of redefinition, reimagining and recreating realities, we’d be remiss to ignore the incredibly obvious writing on the proverbial wall crumbling around our feet. If we don’t find a way to move beyond strict separations based on social identities, we don’t stand a chance of moving forward together. This includes perpetuating a perspective of prejudice about divisiveness itself. This sounds almost contradictory, but the desire to form an opinion, then gather the facts around us in support of that opinion is inevitable. This is how we create, until we realize there’s a different way. There’s no way to circumvent this rather natural occurrence from being used to create further divide, unless we use it to bring us together. And that first requires each of us to see our-self, others and God themselves as they are. Our-self, as in singular, others, as in plural. God, as in singular, themselves, as in plural. If we’re not careful, the mind starts to fill in assumptions, biases and arguments almost instantaneously when it gets shaken out of complacent thinking. When we guide it to look at something it hasn’t seen before and/or makes it uncomfortable, it overlays the words with intent that feels more comfortable or known. This is a trap. This is a temptation. Only by exploring spaces that seem uncomfortable are we able to move beyond what we know. And that requires fluidity.
