Best Portrayals of God - Mega-Thread

[Sincerity]

I'd like to create a thread with the best representations of (facets of) God.

It's obvious that there can be no single comprehensive representation, since the Nature of God is multi-faceted, paradoxical and mysterious. This is why I'd like to submit a few different "portrayals", which are all meant to represent different aspects of God. It's best to think of them as all being the case at once, instead of singling out any particular one.

This list is not exhaustive, and will never be. Obviously all of these are subject to interpretation - however, let's hope that we'll achieve a connection in seeing what is being pointed to. With that said, here we go.

1) I like this one for the fact that everything is unfolding out of nothingness. There's not really a center here. It's nothing.

2) I like this one for being an endless flow of reality. Never-ending dream. No motifs of center or multiplicity here - just an infinite dream always "moving". If the content was changing here infinitely in different ways, that'd be ideal.

Perhaps this one might be even better since there's no implied "movement", as if through a tunnel. No illusion of space. Just the infinite morphing of reality.

I also like this one. In addition to the flow of reality, it gives me a sense of craziness and incomprehensibility of God.

3) This one often comes to mind for me when I think of consciousness. Imagine this but transparent/nothing-like, and being able to morph into anything it wants, becoming that experience.

This one's unique with the representation being an "object" - even though God of course isn't that. But again, think of it as this being the nothing that is everything. Any object "in" consciousness, IS consciousness.

It also has that dream-like blue/yellow/pink/white sheen to it.

4) I wanted to include an "simple" impossible object here. Meant to isolate the aspect of paradox and strange-loopiness of God. So here it is:

5) This one has an entity connotation. To me, it implies the aliveness AND the infinite intelligence of God. Absolute incomprehensibility.

6) This one conveys the "statehood" of consciousness, the advancedness of state, and gives a "personal" connotation. It's all personal in the most profound way. It's You.

7) I like this one for it's "double-centeredness" (as opposition to single-centeredness - strange!), and yet at the same time conveying the boundlessness of consciousness.

8) Infinity of Gods.

9) Another one "organized" structure, yet infinite and mysterious. I don't know about you, but I can hear its calmness and perfectness when looking at it.

10) And lastly this one. I like how the eye arises from nothing and "dies" into nothing at the end - while being of it all along. God looking at Itself.

Definitely post more cool representations if you have any. Cheers!

When I saw God is was like 3(b) before i shot out of my body my lower field of vision started doing that also while looking like a curtain blowing in the wind. I took it as my soul was detaching from this field.

@Frenk Love that one.  I should have included a white light, indeed.

Nice.

@Hojo I like yours.  Black is my favorite color.  It's the absence of color.

[Hojo]

@Joseph Maynor Without eyes reality is black and white. Colour don't exist outside your mind. You can sit there and stare at something for 15 mins and it will turn black and white.

Thanks for sharing, these are quite nice. I always felt the Torus or Toroidal Field expresses creation best

Niceee, thanks for posting these. I like the first one most. I agree there is "a truth" to the Toroidal Field. And I always forget what it's called. 🤣

Once I saw my entire "visual field" as a Toroidal Field. I didn't know what that thing/shape was back then, and I was surprised to hear it be quite popular.

When you say it expresses creation best, what do you mean? Genuinely curious. It does resonate with me a fair bit, but I hesitated to include it in my post, even though I thought about it.

For me it expresses the fundamental energy pattern of all things in nature and the universe. It sort of shows you the paradoxical nature of existence,  as it appears to be going both in and out, and spinning in both directions simultaneously, and if you deeply observe all things in nature, you will see this pattern in one way or another, you see it clearly in fruits, in cells, and planets, magnetic fields, solar systems and so on.

Here are two videos that go into a bit of detail about these fields.

Yooo, this selection is crazy good. Really cool that you found them moving and detailed diferent aspects. This is all very close to my own understanding.

I especially liked the personal aspect. I really like to explore this aspect and it is not mentioned often enough - how close, intimate, personal, the mind of God is.

 

I really like this artist:
