GOD IS SENSELESS (Read to the end before you comment)

If the above title seems to you like an insult to God, you may be sure that you do not know God, if at all, to the level you should. You may also be so sure, that you often limit God to your senses.

My relationship with God has proven beyond any reasonable room for doubt, that God is senseless. This is why a lot of people cannot hear from him, even though they claim to do so.

Hearing from God has been limited to certain people, who too may not be hearing from God.

God speaks all the time, but majority of people can't hear him, because he is oftentimes senseless.

No one is willing to hear from God until he's willing to be senseless.

As a proof of the above statement, two years after I have asked God for wisdom, I lived in utter foolishness, despite I was blessed with so much knowledge, because I was always willing to make sense to people, and perhaps be regarded as the wisest man in earth, but unknown to me, the reverse was what I needed.

Wisdom came to me, only when I was ready for him.

This readiness is inseparably attached to being senseless – willingness to do what he says whether or not, they make sense. This does not mean all senseless people are godly or can hear from God.

This was also my reason to opt out of the University, even after I have long labored for the admission.

Does it make any sense that a man, whose dream is to become one of the greatest philosophers the world has ever produced, opted out of the university to pursue that goal?

But that was what wisdom told me to do, though he never said it will be easy.

I have more evidences that, aside from mine, that God is senseless and that he does not, in most cases, respect human senses. The case of Hosea in the Bible proves God’s senselessness.

Hosea was a known prophet in Israel, and God told him to marry a well-known prostitute. That obviously does not make any sense, but that was what God told him to do.

Many, who claim to hear from God, may not be hearing from God after all.

They may even reject God’s instructions many times, to do things that their religion dictates, for the fear of criticism.

Religion on its own is an obstruction to attainment of spirituality, the chief of which is hearing from God.

Spirituality is entirely different from religiosity; in fact, one, who is overly religious, cannot be entirely spiritual.

The above statement is proven true by the statement that most people who claim to be spiritual, under the realm of religion hardly hear from God.

They are in most cases, unable to do what God tells them to do, as they may and are often against their religious beliefs, on which they have their reputations well-built. 

Majority of people also believe that whatever God says will be easy and perfect from the beginning to the end. It is not true!

That God told you to meet someone for help does not always mean the person will render such help.

That he says you should marry someone does not mean the person is an angel and you won’t have problems.

That he says you should stop your job does not mean you will have another job immediately.

However, if you learn the habit of listening to god all the time and doing as he has told you to do, you will never fail to achieve the purpose for which he asked you to do it.
