"The medium is the message." "The medium is the mess-age." "The medium is the mass-age." "The medium is the massage." Marshall McLuhan "The medium is the message" means that the information carrier (TV, movie, newspapers, etc.) distorts the information creator's message such that the medium's agenda overshadows the message. The medium is often more the focus of the viewer's attention than the information. For example, a spiritual leader often receives more attention from his followers than does his message.

In several religious traditions, God is nameless; for if God is this, then God is not that. God is nameless because God is what it is whatever it is. As every thing in the now is a manifestation of God, the "Who" is an expression of the "What". As the "Who" exists only in the now, the "Who" is finite. Those who view themselves as solely a "Who" die when they are no longer in the now. Those realizing they are the "What" are eternal beings, constantly transitioning from "What" to "Who" and to "What"....
