Existence of God, the - a question which can only be resolved by analogy

02/21/2018

The question of the existence of God can be resolved only by analogy. For example, you have a father who is with you, but he sometimes goes away on trips, and one day he will even go away for good. Does this mean that he no longer exists? No. Even if he is no longer physically present, he is always there, but within you. Because he is your father, he has left indelible imprints within you in the shape of physical or psychic traits, talents, and qualities or even faults. Well, the same can be said of God: we carry him within us in a spiritual form. Because he created us, he has instilled in us his quintessence. He has left fluidic traces within us and an entire network of filaments which connect us to him, and thanks to which we can find him again. So, for those who allow their inner sight to become dim and their spiritual faculties to turn dull, and who end by saying, ‘God does not exist, for if he existed, and so on’, there is no response, except that God has given human beings the possibility both to bring him to life within themselves or to destroy him.
