You Are God

You are God. I mean it.

That which you call God comes from you. Each of us takes that life force that is universal to all and interprets it in a way that makes sense to us. Whether you agree that God is Jesus or Yahweh or Allah or Oprah, God emerges from the power of your own mind.

You can argue until you’re purple about which religion is right or where “God’s word” originated. But we ourselves are always going to be in the way of any objective truth. All scientists know this. All philosophers know this. Any judge or jury. Any lawyer. Any journalist. There’s no such thing as objectivity. It is impossible to know things as they truly are.

Any divine inspiration that gets filtered by human gray matter is anointed by that process. That is why you are God. Each individual creates their own God.  Seven billion people mean at least 7 billion gods and 7 billion religions. The divine as you create it coalesces around your decisions about what is right or wrong, true or false. You can interpret the world in any way you wish, and the secret is you already do.

I find this to be a liberating concept. But what some people might find more acceptable is an all-powerful father kind of figure. I’m a little matriarchal in my outlook. And when you’re talking about creation, I really believe that it’s a feminine energy. But that’s just me. That’s the idea. You create God, so in a way anything that makes you feel good goes.

Frankly, I’ve never been able to get behind that big-guy-in-the-sky concept of God. My idea of the creator is that which brings forth all life, be it a tree or planet or chipmunk. So, I worship nature. I’m kind of a throwback in that way. Totally old school. And I know that my religion is just as valid as any of yours.

My truth, as it relates to the creator, is THE truth. For me, just that it as it is for anyone, personal truths are what matters when you’re out in the world doing you.
