Facets of the Divine Gem

The Divine is like a priceless multi-faceted diamond placed on a stand in the center of the room. If one is asked to describe the priceless gem, depending on where one stands and the angle of ones vision, one can only describe what one sees from the spot and angle one is viewing the item from...

The same goes for humanity in their description of the Divine, just as our vision and experience is only limited to what we encounter and observe, it ONLY is to that degree we will be able to speak of or share... Anything beyond that is void to us or we would dismiss it as evil or in negative light...

Every angle speaks of the same priceless diamond from a different view or perspective, but even if viewed from the same angle and field of vision, ones experience and intellect will limit how expansive and insightful that description can be... Some may say... oh then that person is lying isnt it? I believe that which is shared is not a lie, it is the truth shared from that person's perspective based just on what the person understands as the truth from where he/she is standing at that time and that moment...

I mean just a few hundred years ago, the greatest minds on earth thought the world was flat... I doubt they purposely concocted up a lie to deceive the world...
