I want you to think of the most bizarre, up-side-down, backwards, "inconceivable" world of fantasy you can come up with. Okay, now...How much of it is still a concept fully functioning under the same basic laws and functions of our current state, simply exaggerated? When we realize that our minds are only able to grasp things inside of our own limitations we realize we can only exaggerate the concepts of our reality. We can only fantasize, however, the God that we all talk about is something so beyond our comprehension unless He were to make Himself known to someone in the past there would be no way for us to theorize about Him because of our limited capabilities. God, someone who operates completely and utterly outside of our physical realm, is so beyond our minds' ability, is so beyond our minds' ability that unless someone had a concrete experience with Him, not only would it be unlikely, it would actually be impossible. Humans could not create concepts as utterly confounding and preposterous as God if no one had ever experienced God for themselves. He is even beyond an exaggeration of our existence, the concept of God is the EPITOME of it.
The definition of epitome according to dictionary.com is "a person or thing that is typical of or possesses to a high degree the features of a whole class: He is the epitome of goodness." Synonyms are : embodiment, exemplification, model, typification, quintessence. He is so beyond an exaggeration which is all we are capable of doing as humans that we are cognitively incapable of inventing something so irrational. Someone HAD to have experienced Him or been created with the knowledge that He existed right from the get go. There are only two options. God is the epitome of our existence which is beyond our comprehension, and as you see our minds can only function in the governing realms that we are exposed to and never beyond those. We are forced to limit a concept so immense and great as God, to our mere mortal and limited capacity. Even God had the perfect words to describe Himself, for as humans we can't describe Him eloquently. He said to Moses, "Say, 'I Am has sent you." What more perfectly simplistic way to word the epitome of our existence as "I Am". "I Am who I Am." "Before Moses and Elijah, I Am." Not was, not will be, not currently am...Always was, forever will be, currently am. It's an all time encompassing statement. Forever and for always in both time directions "I Am". That is God, beyond our imagination, beyond our words, beyond everything we are. He is nothing more, yet everything more, than "I Am".
