All personalistic and anthropomorhic ideas of God are, in the end, simply inadequate. Meister Eckhart had a lot of wise things to say about this . . ."</I><BR/><BR/>Just the other day I was having a conversation with my brother about this. He was asking me if I believed that there were some things out there that our puny human brains simply could not comprehend. I said, sure, why not. There are certainly many things we don't understand <B>now</B>, and seem far from understanding. He reiterated the question, emphasizing whether there might be things we could <B>never</B> comprehend, things beyond our senses. To this, I said, "Well, maybe. Why not? But then, what would any conversation about those things be apart from guessing and going off in one's imagination?" <BR/><BR/>That's how I feel about God, and about the little snip of what you said that I reposted here.
