"At that time the Buddha gave a gradual instruction to the householder Upali (the Royal barber from the low caste) on giving, morality, heaven, finding fault with carelessness, no longer being engrossed with sensual pressures, and the merits of renunciation. Upali's mind was ready, supple, free from hindrances, exuberant, and dedicated, and so the Buddha proclaimed the teachings of all the Buddhas, that is, suffering, the cause of suffering, the end of suffering and the path to the end of suffering."

The Ultimate Change - God May Be A Verb


It is of the utmost importance that we clarify a little Basic English word symbolism before we continue on, a noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing, and abstract idea, and a verb is a word used primarily to indicate a type of action.
If you believe this you would classify your house, as an example, as a noun. Yet your house is in a constant state of change, a verb. Your, if traditional, is built from the wood of many trees, dead wood that is actually ageing, decaying, and although you can’t see it breaking down in structure. Everyday the home that you classified as a noun, a thing, is actually acting as verb, constantly changing.
Outside my backdoor sit’s a huge bolder, a rock of gigantic proportions, also misidentified by most as a noun, an object. Yet this granite solid aggregate is slowly being worn down by the continual changing seasons.
You and I, also classified as nouns, are truly verbs. We are in a constant state of change. Day in day out the cells in our body, the cells that enter our body change, at no time do we remain the same, where’s the you? Just look at a snapshot taken of yourself a decade ago and tell me you don’t change your changing everyday. Where’s the noun?
When one looks at the night sky one thinks the stars that appear above have held their positions since the moment of their birth, yet they are expanding, and so is the space which they reside in.

This brings me to the ultimate question, at least in my mind, is God a noun, a person, place or thing, or is God a verb, action, movement, or change?

According to the Emerald Tablet, "That which is above is the same as that which is below"...The macrocosm is the same as microcosm. The universe is the same as God, God is the same as man, man is the same as the cell, the cell is the same as the atom, and the atom is the same as...and so on, ad infinitum."

It surely makes you wonder.
