Manifestations of God

The Pillar of Fire, one of God's avatars in the Old Testament

> Yes indeed Helel, I am infinite and eternal. No beginning and no end. Not only did I create existence, but I Am existence. Yet, you know, I was shaped by forces external. Even the "I" you see now, including you, is just one of my forms, with one of many of my many names.
>
> **God to Lucifer.**

The **Manifestations of God**, as the name suggests, are several manifestations that God has performed and performs since the beginning of time and even before, whether through avatars, aspects, emanations or facets of His ineffable and unfathomable being.

## Overview

The concept of God manifesting is something present in several Abrahamic religions, where because God is truly unspeakable, transcendent and ineffable, He then manifests himself in the physical realm (some say even in the spiritual realm) through mere extensions and fragments/shards of His original and absolute self, known as Manifestations of God, among them, the most famous are the Burning Bush, the Pillar of Fire and Cloud, and of course, his most famous manifestation of all, was when God manifested himself through His Son, Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd.

## Trivia

* Despite the name, it should not be confused with Theophany. While theophany refers to God, the Creator, manifesting himself physically and visibly to human eyes, the "Manifestations of God" refers to God (the unspeakable and incompressible and inexplicable archetype that just is) manifesting through aspects and different conceptions of self, like Yesh, the closest to what "God" would be.
