Illiterate God

The fifth episode of the series Miracle Workers (“What in God’s Name”) portrays God as an illiterate person.

The group working together around the film-version of God makes a bet with Him, which they win by slipping Him a certain document to sign. The secretary of the cinematic God joins in, informing the group that God cannot read and signs everything that is placed before Him. This is later clearly shown in the series when God analyzes a document while holding the text upside down. “Forehead of a DRUNKARD” — with these words the entire crew of manipulators is greeted, and afterward God makes them cocktails. As a result of collective lying and deceiving the illiterate film-God, He fulfills the expectations of the group consciously manipulating Him.

And this is worth reflecting upon in the context of one’s own negative experiences and those of one’s Soul. Let us assume that a Soul — and sometimes also the person — asks the real God, not the cinematic one, to fulfill certain wishes. After presenting to God the luminous effects of one’s own or someone else’s idea, approval is obtained for its manifestation in material reality. Yet often without asking God about the consequences, possible complications, or negative outcomes of the chosen path. A similar principle is found in the fairy tale about the goldfish granting three wishes, the consequences of which later had to be laboriously repaired. Since God might “blindly” grant approval for various actions, an unfortunate belief could arise that God is easy to outsmart, that He does not truly understand what He agrees to. Even that He is illiterate or shortsighted.

A fairly widespread opinion has become established that God, like a goldfish or some miraculous machine, exists merely to fulfill every wish.

In later incarnations of the Soul, however, its new avatars may experience unexpected and painful effects — not only of their own decisions, but also of treating God as an illiterate creator. Probably mainly for this reason, some Souls later awaken and promote hostile opinions about the “tricks” supposedly committed by God. Because one wanted one thing, but something entirely different came out of it — often long after the entire matter and the motivations for trying to outwit God had already been forgotten.

For me, the punchline of that episode was the matter of the jelly candies, precisely illustrating the mechanism of consequences arising from deliberate manipulations and calculated combinations described here.
