Religion has mostly tainted the word “God”
God isn’t a man in the sky who judges your every move. God is… well, this. At least in my honest opinion.
Imagine you’re in a utopia that is completely free of evil, having the time of your life. I mean truly imagine it. Fully immerse yourself in that scenario within your mind. Like it’s actually happening in real life.
Perhaps you’re playing volleyball on the beach. Or visiting the mall with your friends. Or attending an epic party. Or skating. Or going on a road trip. Or swimming at the local community pool. Or playing games in an arcade. Whatever you can imagine. There are so many possibilities.
Imagine as many people as you possibly can existing all at once in that scene. Don’t imagine yourself as one singular person, but rather, rapidly switch your POV between each person in the scene. Imagine what all of their thoughts and emotions would feel like all at once. Feel their joy. Their love for each other. Their peace. Their contentment. Their freedom. Their childlike sense of wonder and excitement.
What you’re feeling essentially is God. Well, kind of. If you get what I mean, it should eventually click for you if you do this exercise successfully. If you got goosebumps, you likely did it correctly. If you didn’t, I’d recommend repeating this exercise until you do, if you can/want to. Take your time. Don’t rush. You want to really feel it all as if it’s really happening.
