From spirituality?
God is just a name
The "name" itself means nothing more than any other thing with a name
What we give it
The connotation we attribute to it
is everything
Right?
So......
What if?
You dissattributed the name of God to this idea of heaven
Or Nirvana
Instead
Right here
Right now
Attribute
Every feeling that is God
Unconditional love
Unending compassion
All things
All knowing
All enduring
Always there
Always your salvation
The soul of life
Eternal
Never ending
Encompassing the entire universe
All time, space, beings, matter, light
Capture these feelings strongly within yourself for a moment
Feel the Glory
And.......
Now instead of saying and thinking of the name God when you think of this entity
This power
Replace that name with your own name
Keep the feelings alive
Keep it going
But now give those attributes
And
Those feeling
a real
Tangible place to live
Inside of you
Wiggle around in it
Let it feel the exact same as it did just mere moments ago
Now.....roll around in it
Really get a feel for it
Doesn't it feel good?
Don't you want to feel this every moment of every day of your life?
Do it!!!!
This is Gods plan.
This is Gods glory
We are!!!!
And until we decide to start living it
Living the truth of our divinity
Every moment of our lives
We won't ever truly be happy
That gaping wound that we have had made in our hearts
From all the pains of birth, life and living
The one that beckons always
The one that people try to erroneously fill with:
Money, sex, power, drugs, pain, pleasure, etc, etc.
That we ALL see but refuse to face
The one that never gets quite full enough
Never ceases to push us forward
Yearning for something more
Is that voice of our hearts
Is the voice of God
I simply can't express it any easier.
Get rid of the name
Put all those feelings back where they belong
Put all that glory back where it seeks so desperately to be
Back in your own body
Give yourself that same unending compassion that "God" gives you
Give yourself that same unconditional love that "God" gives you
And then......
When you're so inevitably full to capacity with so very much (fucking) glory
It will have no choice but to spill out to everything and everyone else
As would God have it to be
Isn't that the whole point of spirituality??
Of religion??
I mean
Isn't it
And yes I know it's easier said than done
What is it they say?
Practice makes perfect
So
Keep doing it
Until it's so much a part of your nature
You won't barely remember not
