When I speak or write about God I believe I am speaking about myself.
I am in the world and the world is in me. Only in the world do I know myself. God is the pulse of life underlying my awareness. God is a story which makes meaningful my being in the world. God is the ground of my being. Nature is Theophany as is life.
I read today in another context that the oddest thing about the upper reaches of a consciousness performance is the abscence of a conductor before the performance begins. As the performance unfolds a conductor comes into being. The conductor exists in my mind and nothing is gained by dismissing it as an illusion.
Sitting motionless I glimpse the potential of a still and pure awareness.
This is my God. Of course my views of God have no bearing on the existence or otherwise of God in any hypothetical objective reality. But it is my reality.
Thoughts?
