HOW I UNDERSTAND GOD
I was skeptical about God. I couldn’t understand how, if an all-powerful
all-loving God did exist, he could create such a mess. I concluded that if I were God, I
would’ve done a better job. Some ego,
huh? Actually, it was more than ego;
it was a total misunderstanding of God.
But once I developed a new view of God, everything made perfect
sense. Here’s my present view.
God is the primary force underlying the existence
of all things and expresses higher creative possibilities through us as our
consciousness increases. To state it poetically -- God sleeps in earth
and rocks ... dreams in plants and trees ... stirs in insects and
animals ... and awakens in primitive man and humans. And to the extent that we raise consciousness
and become one with God, creates divine experiences through us; thus we all
have an opportunity to experience life at its highest level -- as often as
we wish.
This is our greatest possibility -- if we choose
it. God doesn’t force it upon us. God gives us the potential of free choice and
if we don’t actualize it doesn’t judge, condemn or punish us; we’re free to
live and act just as we do.
Yet life is a special opportunity to realize our
divine nature and immense creative power. This is the great secret of life. So when
not liking the life you’re having or results you’re getting, consider what
you’ve been choosing.
When I understand God, life, and myself in this
way, it then seems that God has created a ‘perfect’ world. Instead of a mess, God created an optimal
condition of freedom and boundless opportunity for us to awaken to, and
manifest our highest possibilities; what we choose -- or fail to choose --
determines the life we get. What could be fairer and more wonderful then
that?
Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
