I remember the beginning of the use of the term Outside the Box and its eventually becoming cliched. At first it seemed refreshing and then it morphed into occasional pretentiousness. At first it was, “Hey, that is a neat new way to look at things!” and later, “Yeah, like you are thinking outside the box and no one else is!” or “Yeah, I’m dumb. I can’t see past my nose, but you, Mr. Smarty pants. are a free thinker.” Of course the I and You can be reversed.

However, it did awaken some of us to the idea of considering “other ways” of doing things and, as djf says, it does apply to what we are talking about - that latin thing betty boop said.

Yet, if we can master (a hard thing to do) living in the ever-present-now and being constantly aware of God’s energy and love, we ARE outside the box and don’t have to worry about it. Strange but true - Truth is outside the box.

Strange but true, dear Mind-numbed Robot!

God — Truth — simply transcends all our human imaginings.

BTW, I really warm to your insight that God is Verb, and His Creation Nouns. In Genesis, God gave Adam the privilege of naming all the creatures He made. Of course, names are nouns....

To me this is evidence that God views man as somehow His partner....
