New name for "God" - suggestions?

[QuantumKev]

These are all good thoughts - with exception of the "Allah" one, and that's not because I have anything against Islam, but because I stated that I am looking for something completely unconnected to any one religion, with no specific connotations.

I am curious if ayone can think of any actual names - like perhaps a proper name, like "Bob" or something (ok, not Bob, but you know what I mean! Lol) There are names like Alex, Kris, Terri, etc that can be male or female. Meditate on this question, ponder it if you will and let me know you come up with anything.

I realize that any name is going to minimize what that Source, that Presence truly is. I am just throwing this out there as a thought exercise - nothing more.

Thank you all, and Many Blessings : )

I often call the pure silent presence, This.

You could just address the collective consciousness because that is what shapes the Cosmos in which we all live, making us all the creator.

umm... well... the collective consciousness is not God by any name... which is one seamless, formless infinite whole that all individual consciousnesses originally arose from and into which they disappear at some point.

So here are some more names I have used... the Oneness, Source, Infinite Beingness.

Well, as a Neopagan, the names for the gods are as countless as the words humans can put to them. But if you want something truly novel:

Smash your keys on the keyboard. Such as:

egrjo

Then modify into something pronounceable:

egerjio

Problem solved. For additional fun, change your keyboard to an international setting in a different language entirely. Or eschew the keyboard entirely and just start muttering random sounds until something intuitive resonates with you.

Since God is eternally silent and actually has no name.........

I honestly don't know what to call it/him/her, when it seems like it/him/her is everything and nothing and everything in between all at the same time... So the term I use just keeps changing, I mean they all sound "right" to me... O.O

Yes this is what I do also, it depends on the conversation and who i am having that conversation with.

I have been thinking about this for a long, long time, and the closest thing I can come up with (and I don't think it's entirely new) is "Loving Presence."

I am looking for something that has no male or female aspect to it; something that maybe has never been spoken or written before, or if it has, has been lost to the ages.

There are no right or wrong answers, I would just like to know if you have an idea, something you use now, or if this question inspires something to pop into your head - please let me know what that is : )


Many Blessings,

Marry me Haha!

Seriously, it brings me such relief to read someone else understanding the Truth about there being no gender to what God is.

I have been in some frustrating debates about this in the past...

I will take some time to consider a 'new' reference title to God. Up until now, I have used the terms Spirit/Source/Love.

Thanks for starting this thread dear. (lol)

Me, personally, when I speak to "Him" - He is my Father whom I address humbly with love...but not usually when I talk to y'all.
He is just this Presence!!!
