The God I Know
January 31, 2023The God I know is not a man in the sky
casting judgment.
No, he is a loving unified expression of reality
speaking through all things, all the time.
He is not even a he or a she or anything as measured as that.
He is just everywhere and everything, all at once.
Each person’s ability to hear and experience God is based on a number of things,
mostly
the evolution of their own heart.
All religions past and present are an expression of God.
They all work in harmony within a cosmic web of belief.
Most are saying the same thing again and again.
The scientific method? It’s just another way to get to know God.
All of us have a direct connection to God.
There is no end to God speaking.
There is no final prophet or messiah.
You can find God in flowers and music and stories and each other and yourself.
Our connection to God is unyielding.
All things are connected.
You do not have to believe in God to live according to God and in oneness with God.
You could be the most devoted servant of God and not even know it.
What matters most is allegiance to your own heart.
Do not betray your heart, for God speaks through your heart.
Light triumphs over dark not by attacking darkness but by opening itself to more and more light.
Sometimes this looks like an attack.
Nothing is as simple as it seems.
Everything is quite simple though.
What is above shapes what’s below and what’s below shapes what’s above.
Through living life on the bridge between heaven and earth, the earth becomes a glorious garden, and paradise is restored for all.
This is a metaphor.
All language is a metaphor.
You’ll understand these words best by dismissing them completely and feeling instead.
Get to know your heart, and your mind will follow.
Godspeed.
The words above spontaneously entered my mind on January 30, 2023, and were edited months later. I hesitated to ever share them. I’m often wary to explicitly speak of God, yet the words keep coming. I am, personally, not a proponent of organized religion. But I am a lover of God. When I use that word, the above is what I mean. The above is what I’ve come to know. All the other uses of the name “God”? They are, in my opinion, simply a facet of God. A piece of its face. As if the speaker is looking at a broken mirror and simply seeing what’s reflected in a single shard. We keep looking. We keep looking. We keep looking.
