Today I redefined God

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:

You say: “It’s impossible.” God says: “All things are possible.” #ihatequotes
You say: “I can’t do it.” God says: “You can do all things.” #ihatequotes
You say: “I am always worried and frustrated.” God says: “Cast all your cares on me.” #ihatequotes
You say: “I feel all alone.” God says: “I will never leave you or forsake you.” #ihatequotes
You say: “I am not able.” God says: “I am able.”#ihatequotes
You say: “Nobody really loves me.” God says: “I love you.” #ihatequotes
The lesson: “Have faith! Believe, God is there just for you.” Have a nice day! #ihatequotes

And it just hit me:

You say: Who are you? God says: You are me experiencing you. /cc @ihatequotes

I had redefined God. Enjoying that feeling for a while I came with the ‘final’ definition:

“I am God experiencing me.”

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:

God = Source Energy = The Highest Self
God is the source of consciousness, or even consciousness itself, ‘it’ doesn’t experience itself
God is the creative energy and creates by experiencing
God experiences by focusing energy. You are focused energy in this time-space reality

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.
