Exploring the greater depths of God with ourselves

God is a colourful ruler, with hidden depths to him.
A ruler can measure depth, but it cannot measure the colour of things.
To understand God's depth, we need to colour ourselves from his love, living fully in us, being our real us, for him.
1 Corinthians 2:10
King James Bible
"But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."
English Standard Version
"These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God."
These verses then imply to me that God has both deep and shallow aspects to himself then?
What are these depths of God, his deeper parts?
The depths of God and his deepness are only revealed to us from his spirit in us, living them for us, thus revealing them in us, to us, through us embracing them into life, through the energy of God's love living fully in us too.
As Jesus Christ himself taught us in the Christian Bible, God is revealed to us in lighter and deeper ways, depending on whether we have the ears to hear, and to understand them.
The world looks like just the world to us, until we understand God's deeper aspects within it. Then we see the world, and we see God in it too.

What sort of a ruler has no depths to itself? Only a dead one! God is not dead!

We are spiritual beings but we hardly realize this truth because we are carried away by the outside glitter and think all that glitter is gold! We fail to listen to the inner voice that is connected to our creator and guides our thinking and actions.
I always recall a Chinese saying "when you drink water, think of its source".
As everything is created by God, including us and our fellow travelers, all that we see and don't, we have a higher calling. The present ills of society, both moral and the contagion of diseases, should make us right the course of our paths. God is alive and is omnipresent - siva

Thanks, siva, That's a great saying.
When we do not like the flavour of our lives, that is when we should add some sauce to it too, or something from our real source too....LOL...
I guess God's spirit, going everywhere, flows around in Heaven, and places outside of our Universe too.
That is why if we can connect our own spirit to this greater spirit, we will see with the greater light source then too.
We become enlightened when we do this, as we see with a greater light.
We become one light, with God's light, shining both in and outside of us.

@innertalks I am reminded of what Isaac Newton said: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."
Yes, we should use our hidden senses more to see within and get inspired to look at ourselves in a new light. We are now more akin to a frog in a well and not different from the story of blind men deciphering an elephant.
Time for us to evolve into who we really are, spiritual beings, than be enslaved by our animal instincts! siva

@Shiva49 "The roots of the problems we face in the world, in our national life, and in our family and personal lives are spiritual."
The author, Stephen Covey (1932 to 2012) said this.
He is saying that all of our problems result from us forgetting about, or neglecting, our spiritual roots.
Yes, it is high time that we evolved into who we really are, spiritual beings, as you just said it. I second that.

Jesus Christ told us to love God with all of our whole person, or from as deeply as we could do so.
It seems God wants us to reach deep with our love for him, for ourselves, and for all others too.
(Jesus said, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind."
From Saint Matthew's gospel, chapter 22, verse 37.)
Yes, I agree, the deeper we go, the more we increase in wisdom, truth, understanding, and love.

How do we see God's imprint everywhere, though?
I guess the answer to that question is that when we resonate with God's love in each part of his creation, then we see God there, not just an imprint, which is there too, but we really see God, the real God too.
When we see God in everything, then we see that his imprint is in us then too, but we also feel the realness of the real God in us then, as well, as well.
Seeing the imprint leads us to seeing the real.

@innertalks When we see and feel his imprint everywhere, then our outlook is at another level - siva
