I had a discussion with some people today about the various Names of God. If you’ve never done so, I suggest you use a great resource like BibleGateway and just search to see just how many ways God is referred to in the Bible. In addition, look up “Spirit” and see how many ways it’s referenced (be sure you’re looking at the “Spirit” that is capitalized.)
Doing this helped me to remember just how large, and powerful our God is. Nobody can sum Him up in a few words. No single name is grand enough, detailed enough, descriptive enough, or explanatory enough to capture the essence of God. Yet when we put them all together inside His Word (the Bible), we begin to see how truly small and insignificant we are; how temporary our problems are; how silly our worries are;how inflated our ego’s are. May God forgive us for thinking so much more highly of ourselves than we ought, and may God forgive us and our human minds that so limit his awesome power.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurablymore than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. – Ephesians 3:20-21
Living in the Word 
We cannot rationally conceive of divine essence, but we can have conscious awareness of being in it.
E=mc², Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, is probably the best known scientific equation. I revised it to help better understand the relationship between divine Essence (Love, Grace, Spirit), matter (mass/energy: visible/dark) and consciousness (f(x) raised to its greatest power). Unlike the speed of light, which is a constant, there are no exact measurements for consciousness. In this hypothetical formula, basic consciousness may be of insects, to the second power of animals and to the third power the rational mind of humans. The fourth power is suprarational consciousness of mystics, when they intuit the divine essence in perceived matter. This was a convenient analogy, but there cannot be a divine formula.

Thanks for the great thoughts Ron! Where can we find your ebook?
stidhamm, it is at http://www.suprarational.org/g.a.i.l.11.pdf and took five years to write. I asked 20 religious leaders and scholars to review the manuscript before posting it on the Internet. They did not agree with everything, but their suggestions led to many helpful revisions.
