The situation you present is the classic case of

the bulb asking

"How will I recognize electricity unless I know it by it's name?"

or the plant asking

"How will I recognize sunlight unless I know it by it's name?"

or the rain drop asking

"How will I know water unless I learn to recognize it by it's name?"

It is whatever u wish to call it. It is all.

"God is more than the sum of all the probable systems of reality he has created ,and yet he is within each one of these, without exeption. He is therefore within each man and women , he is also within each spider, shadow and frog, and this is what man does not like to admit. God can only be experianced, and you experience him whether or not u reailize it through your own existance. In the most inexapable truth, he is not human in ur tems at all, nor in ur terms is he a personality. Your ideas of personality are too limited to contain the facitts of his multideminsonal existance,," ................Seth Speks, The Eternal Validity of the Soul......

Gods name is whatever you want it to be. It is not in a name that you get the connection, but the interpretation of your relationship with God. There are infinite interpretations, but one is for you. That special angle that gives you the boost to the next level of interpretations. Look for the meaning in your endeavors. It, will reveal itself to you when your eyes are truly open. You are free to fail or succeed. That is true love.

snow the name is not that important. i know you has snow,leo,geo,black dragon here but if we know the physical self that we are when we see each other do we need to say each other name when we see each other or can we just make a smile to each other or a hand sign to acknowledge each other? knowing what he his is more important. God is Emet the truth the spirit of truth the creator eternal. for him and in him everything exist. what did god say to moses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOyINBBz1DE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW233sWUo20&feature=related i am that i am,i am has sent me to you that his my name for ever. in french i am = je suis. jesus said i am the way the truth and the life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTcMpMrtd6k&feature=related what good will it do you to know a word when you go to a place where there is no words but only energy that is sharing it self from the alpha to the omega eternal. when you share your love and make children does the life come in the child before or after he his name? could you love the child even with out a name? if a child his born with out knowing is parents or their name does it change the truth that he has parents? experience and enjoy.

Snow, what you've already said is a pretty good start.

For me God will always be a very very powerful mystery... I would think that His literal name would primarily be a function of where you reside (emotionally) relative to Him... In other words: some could feel more like calling Him "The Great Source & Center"... others might feel Him as: "The Father of All Lights and All Suns."

But even having said that... I personally feel God most as My FATHER, who is living at the very center of all things and beings, human and divine, everywhere in the universe... in Heaven.

Maybe it would help you to know that I was carefully taught to dispise my biological father when I was a child... It wasn't until I was well into my 40's that I had gotten enough experience -- pain and compassion -- to begin to understand and love him.

Then, when I finally came to fully understand my human father: his many, many pains and torments... I began to see God as my TRUE Father.

Overall, I believe, God IS The Father of All.

Trying to put a name or label on the mystery is futile. No word or words can ever define or do justice to that which permeates and IS everything and everyone. The mind will undoubtedly try to do so, because the mind can never comprehend that which can only be experienced beyond our everyday level of awareness or our normal state of consciousness :)

And if I had to use a word to name god that word would undoubtedly be Love... not the generally accepted meaning but rather Love that recognizes and accepts everything and everyone just as they Are.

I call God by the name of God, but I also know God by the sound of AUM. I know because when I listen closely to my heart I hear the same sacred sound of AUM. Peace

what if there are fledgling gods
on their way to emanance,
learning as they grow
sometimes not seeing it right
the first time, but illusions
that must be learned or known
would that be thee

@Snow if you are searching for a name to call God, I chant HU. HU is an ancient holy name for God. It's pronounced like the man's name Hugh. When you chant HU; it becomes a love song to God; a way to show appreciation & connect with your spirit.

I first read about this in a book many years ago; sorry, can't recall the name; but have been using the chant (love song) ever since. Try it - 20 min's while meditating; I think you will like the vibration & how the sound resonates throughout your body - connecting you with a higher consciousness . I especially like doing the meditation when I'm outdoors.

God has no name because God is not a persona.

It is not possible to define God by personality, gender, names etc because God is above all these.

But certain higher Entities which act through a personality (such as angels, dieties, human beings etc) have one. For example angel Michael or Gabriel, diety Jehovah or Zeus etc.

As there is only one God or Universal Truth but many languages and religious traditions, I don't think He minds (if we can personify Him in this way) what we call Him. However, I believe that for every time and age there is a new Manifestation of God - a Being who reflects completely God's attributes and Will for humanity like Krishna, Buddha, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Baha'u'llah etc. Then the best way we can call God at each time in history (I don't mean necessarily call Him that as God is God), but to worship Him in the way He wants so He hears us best is in the name of that Teacher and through embracing their teachings.

His name is Yahwah. Jesus' name is Yeshua. TheHoly Spirit's name is Rukha d' Qudsha ( pronounced Koodsha ).
