Gods' reality doesn't stand apart from our perceptions but is woven into them. A mother can see her newborn child as wonderful and worthy, and through her perception, that baby grows up to be a wonderful worthy person. This is one of the mysteries of love.A subtle give and take is going on at the deepest level between parent and child. In the same way God seems to grow directly out of our deepest inner values. There is a similar give and take below the level of mere belief.
Peel away all the layers of an onion, and at the center you will find emptiness; peel away all the layers of a human being, and at the center you will find the seed of God.
God must be known by looking in the mirror.
If you see yourself in fear, barely holding on with survival at stake, yours is a god of fight or flight.
If you see yourself as capable of power and accomplishment, yours is a God of the reactive response.
If you see yourself as centered and calm, yours is a God of the restful awareness response.
If you see yourself as growing and evolving, yours is a God of the intuitive response.
If you see yourself as someone who makes personal dreams come true, yours is a God of the creative response.
If you see yourself as capable of working miracles, yours is a God of the visionary response.
If you see yourself as one with God, yours is a God of the sacred response.
Any God who protects us like a father or mother stems from fight or flight.
Any God who makes laws and rules over society stems from the reactive response.
Any God who brings inner peace stems from the restful awareness response.
Any God who encourages human beings to reach their full potential stems from the intuitave response.
Any God who inspires us to explore and discover stems from the creative response.
Any God who makes miracles stems from the visionary response.
Any God who brings us back into unity with him stems from the sacred response.
