In this segment we deal with the task of uncovering the identity of “God”.

We use the word so often, even after our exodus from orthodox religions but, certain terminology seems to always remain. Is this because of religious programming or is there something divine and ancient about the terminology used in religious buildings and culture.

When dealing with the concept and idea of “God” can we come to absolutes or is every definition measured by ones current perceptual reality. 

Sharing a common understanding of “God” allows for the foundation of community to be laid. Within a family model, the unified definition of “God” is taught and confirmed in order to insure family unity. This also allows the family to share in ritual and worship to who or what they consider to be their kin's deity. This worship can be formal or informal but, it crates a set of rules and civil accountability at a very young age. 

All too often this doctrine is taught through fear and stories of destruction as a result for leaving the path of the righteous (Little Red Riding Hood). This mythology centers around the concepts and ideas of the laws and love offered through the relationship with the communal god-head.

Is there one God?

Is there a high God?

When we refer to God do we typically know who or what we’re referring to or are we parroting an understanding ingrained into us in our adolescence.
