I don’t see God as the old grey man with the wise look on his face watching down on us. In other words, I don’t perceive God as men has defined ‘Him’ for centuries. Furthermore, I was not raised according to any religion, but by the best effort of my parents. I have explained in an earlier post that when I was ‘young’ I was thinking in very black and white images. And I think I considered myself an atheist. But over the years I got inspired by The Secret, the Law of Attraction, Abraham-Hicks, Deepak Chopra, Bashar and many others. The level of inspiration I get in my life today is so much greater by my ability to allow.
During this process of change I started to think about the ‘concept’ of God. I deliberately let go of any current image or association I had with the word God. This sounds easier then done, as I was indoctrinated with the different flavors of God. I can not say I was able to fully let go, but enough to allow a definition come to me. And today, while being silly on Twitter I read some tweets of @ihatequotes:
And it just hit me:
I had redefined God. Enjoying that feeling for a while I came with the ‘final’ definition:
I want to to share some of the most important basics of how I ended up with this definition. I think most were triggered by Deepak Chopra:
As I mentioned before, every definition is personal, as it is defined by our experience, our point of view.
I would love to hear your point of view on this.

Fantastic Patrick!
It pains me to see how our innate insecurity forces us to look for some outer authority we can worship so we feel a bit better. We're all God particles kicked into this flesh somehow feeling guilty for the separation from God, together with the urge to belong to a group / something bigger
But we shouldn't, we got the opportunity to experience this human trip and should enjoy it every second. We should be 100% Selfish, because we're all God – we have energy that lasts a lifetime
