Soul School – Lesson 37: Moving BEYOND Personification

Welcome to SOUL SCHOOL – a bit of nourishment for your inner world.

A new one is released each Wednesday.

When I was little, I pictured God as an old white man with a white beard, just like I had seen in paintings. He was mostly scary. He could be very loving and kind, but he also had a bad temper and would deal out very harsh punishments (just like my dad did, strangely enough. Well, it’s not strange at all, really.) Children have a hard time picturing the abstract, so pictures and stories can help, but they only take us so far. Spiritual growth and personal growth demand more.

Here, just the Father's beard could wipe out planet Earth

Today, I’ll talk about moving beyond how we tend, even as adults, to personify God much like children do with rabbits in storybooks. Please pass along the episode to someone else and chat about it with your friends. Or contact me with your thoughts, if you’d like.

(Also enjoy the music of my people from my father’s side of the family – Puerto Rico! I put more music in than I normally do.)
