God’s Omni-Nature

“Nature is my Teacher!”

Bro. Ishmael Tetteh

I know that God is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and omniactive. I now have a personal and intimate experience with the Presence that is incommunicable. But, Science and Nature were my first guides to the Mystical Truth. The First Law of Thermodynamics and Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity are two scientific observations of Nature that became an early entry point for my personal revelation about the omni-nature of God. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but converted or transferred into different forms. What an elegant statement about the Eternal Nature of the Creative Energy of the Universe. I remember first hearing about Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity - it was a long time after, that I began to realize the profound implication that energy and matter are one in the same thing - mass is slow, stored energy! I may not know anything about the math it took to get to E=mc2 yet The First Law & Relativity sure seem to point to the omni-nature of God as a singular energetic impulse expressing in infinite ways - some expressions are inanimate, some are animated, some even have consciousness - all from the same energy - rock, tree, bird, me, sun, moon, stars, sea and thee - all God energy! I see everywhere in Nature and in Science the omnipresence and omni-activity of God expressed as the manifest world. The very activity of creation is the indication of the omnipotence of this Eternal Energy. The elegance, order and balance seen everywhere substantiates the supreme omniscience of The Creative Energy in back of all Life. But it is beyond Science and beyond thinking, in quiet, still moments in prayer and meditation that I come to know the Omni-Nature of God as Perfect Love and Peace.
