I Am God
I have never been religious.
I spent most of my life that way. For a few weeks when I was younger, I called myself an Atheist but I quickly stopped. I didn't like saying it. I didn't like identifying in that way.
I would tell people I didn't believe in god, or a god, or any god for that matter. But I guess I was just never really sure. I wasn't convinved that god didn't exist so I guess I was a better agnostic. I was happy to go about my life being non-religious while understanding the value that religion plays in our society.
I was happy to go to church with friends or family (but I never found it enjoyable). I was happy to let people believe what they wanted to believe because I was happy believing what I wanted to believe.
It's interesting, because in the past year - thanks to my spiritual awakening and this manifest a million challenge - I have become incredibly spiritual.
And in a way, my mind has been changed, but at the same time, not at all.
Towards the end of his life, Carl Jung was asked if he believed in God. He replied "I don't need to believe, I know. If I know a thing I don't need to believe it."
Maybe it was my misinterpretation or misunderstanding of God throughout my life. I always saw God as a person, a deity, an entity - an all-powerful being that was pulling at the strings of our reality. My mind has not changed because I still don't believe this to be true.
However, like Jung, I too know God exists. I know this to be true because I am God. You are God. We all are God.
We are all made of stardust - we are physically no different than one another or all life, for that matter, that inhabits the known universe. We are two blood cells floating down the same vein. Our lives are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. We are all a part of something significantly larger than ourselves.
In my opinion, religion is an operations manual for life written long ago, passed from generation to generation. Each written in its own 'language' for the world's population to choose how they'd like to live their lives. But just because there are many to choose from, doesn't mean I have to. I don't need religion to find God.

In fact, I only use the word God because it's the closest thing for people to understand what I mean.
The meaning of life is to find meaning in life. To serve others and find joy in the process. To fill our hearts with love and live merrily until the day we die - when our body returns to the earth and our spirit rejoins infinite intelligence.
So wtf does God have to do with manifesting a million dollars?!
I said it from the beginning, this challenge has nothing to do with money. It's nothing more than a test to challenge my understanding of how the universe works. Life is the greatest game ever made and I never plan to stop playing!

4 个月I figured you'd have some comments by now on this one Dan Mott. That headline. I agree with you though. I've always struggled with most organized religions. But when I started exploring spirituality and my connection to the Universe Anne everyone it all started to make sense and resonate. We all are a piece of the bigger puzzle. Which means each of us God because we are a piece of the whole. Understanding that and your connection allows you to tap into infinite possibilities.
