God not just a word ( Archived) (4)

God is spirit! As spirit (not A spirit, but all spirit) God supplies all the energy. Human endeavour can manipulate or exercise this spirit, it can not create it.

To say it with humour:

The men of science had now created life in a dish and felt that they no longer needed the act of God in creation. They appointed a scientist to speak with God on this matter.

God listened as he always does to human boasts. Then he suggested an experiment to show God how this was done.

The scientist picked up a hand full of clay. Then the rains came, the thunder roared, the lightning flashed. Frightened they turned to God. God's response was: Get your own clay!

As a concept God is in all life. God is not reserved for any particular religion or philosophy. God did not create religion, that is a man made concept. God did not write the literature.

Religion was man's effort at fear based control of the masses.
God is the ordered existence of all that is in our lives and on our earth plane. God has ordered existence through the natural laws of existence.

When a law is breached there are consequences. Human beings took spirit and created evil and wrong doing. Then they created religion to guilt the individual into fearing God instead of loving God. This concept is so alive when people say God-fearing as a relationship to their God.

God is about our relationship to a higher power. It defines the personal covenant (promise) we have between God and human endeavour. There is free will applied to all human experience. It is there to show us we can choose the good, the bad, or the ugly in all things. It is there to show us that our choices form our personality and enhance the light that is our spirit.

As a spirit we know that God flows through all life and our experiences. God is not about finding God in religion. It is about finding God in all living experiences, our philosophy and our life. As we acknowledge this power and energy, we will learn to use it to make our relationships and experiences in all things lessons to be embraced, not feared.

Einstein saw God as a concept that flowed through every experiment he ever attempted. Without God in the equation there was no success at finding answers to life's challenges and experiences.
As one of the 20th century scientists,

Einstein is acknowledged as a brilliant man for his time. Would you be able to say he fulfilled his promise in God's plan (concept)? Perhaps we need to acknowledge our own position in that plan?
