CONCEPTUALIZATION OF GOD BY THE HUMAN MIND

on Tuesday, March 19, 2013

Human mind has the ability to think beyond imaginations. A human has been bestowed with the endless qualities and capabilities of the mind. God has given all humans the best of mind, soul and power to analyze and judge all things. Sometimes, human beings use this mind in the creation of different concepts about God. Faith is one of the most discussed and confusing topics these days. The new generations of the human kind are either the least interested or the most confused groups of people that have changed many concepts related to God. However, the most important question is that if human kind has actually conceptualized God.

Well, yes is the answer to this question. People have actually conceptualized God. These different concepts about the existence and qualities of God have their origin from the millions and billions of the human minds. All these concepts have been created since the creation of the human kind. People have proposed different things about God. The religious and cultural effects in turn influence all the concepts. People belonging to different parts of the world have different concepts about God. These concepts are entirely different from each other. Sometimes they contradict each other. Similarly, people belonging to different religions and cultural backgrounds also have an entirely different conceptualization of God.

It will not be a waste to mention here that even the educational status and mental caliber affect the idea of God to a great extent. This may be neglected in the most educated countries; however, this factor is quite valid for the countries where the literacy rate is low or variable. People who belong to the educated class can have a comparatively better concept. Nevertheless, this cannot be true always. This is quite possible that the most educated people are the most confused. Therefore, the causes vary in different circumstances.

In spite of all the data on the topic of conceptualization of God by the human kind, the clear understanding comes from a vast knowledge. You must know many things before you actually gain a satisfying concept and then a firm belief about God. You can search for all the concepts through the different religions around the world. You can also take a start from the self-observation and your instincts. However, it is you who has to take the plunge and dig out the most appropriate answer to your question regarding the concepts of God.

We can quote some points as examples. Many people around us question if God listens to us or not? Is He talking to us or not? People can also question about the different qualities of God. All these concepts are based upon the natural curiosity of the human mind, which ultimately reaches to the belief whatever it may be.
