God

An attempt at trying to understand myself better lead to a slightly better understanding of God:
Remove the lampposts that illuminate/define the perceived edges of the definition of God. Remove them and see God's undefinable boundlessness. Once that makes sense, a lot of other things we hold dear will stop making sense... But no, we can't really, actually do that. Our brains are incapable of understanding that cognitively. We may have glimpses of that understanding, quickly covered up again by a strong desire to conceptualize (every concept has limits - limits that define it). 
The best we can do is try to eradicate the desire to stick to our definition of God, the perception that our definition of God is correct. Then, life will open up.
