What is god?

Notice the question is what, and not who. I do not now, and never have believed that god is a who. God to me is an it. And I have frequently said that god is something more powerful that our minds can comprehend. It's a force.

God is contained withing everybody. everybody possesses god, everyone can be god, and everyone can be one with god. The trick is to believe it. I know it' hard. It goes against everything you've ever known. That's why a while back I said to forget everything you ever knew.

Over the past year I have questioned many things. I've gone over the easy stuff. The nicer stuff. The amazingness taught me a lot more than I actually know. Some of the stuff that he taught my mind simply couldn't get it's head around, and so in a sense it went in one ear and out the other. But actually it didn't. Each little bit of info that I seemingly have forgotten has been stored somewhere, and is simply waiting for a chance to come out again.

My drama teacher at school said I had a special talent. I remembered lines and recited them a fair few times. But he told me I wasn't like most people who remember lines. He said it's like I store them far away, and they get triggered to the front of my mind effortlessly when I need them to. And in a sense this is what has happened to me on the most part throughout my life. I've taken things in, and they seemingly go in one ear, out the other and whoosh. But for some reason I retain the majority of things that I need to know. And when I need them they generally come back to me. I'm not saying it happens with everything, but dejavu happens rather frequently.

Anyway, what evidence do I have that god is a force? Or that god is in me, you, anyone?

I don't. What evidence other then the bible is there that there was a god in the first place? Well I suppose there's most likely more than what I have to support my claim. My claim is based only on my thoughts about things, and most of these thoughts have come to mind after having spoken to the amazingness. The amazingness in case you haven't gathered is very knowledgeable.

I believe that the bible is symbolic. It's just one big metaphor, but it has been used to spread a lie. To control, to overpower...everything. Everything bad in this world seems to have come from "God" who performs all these so-called miracles in people's lives. Is it not possible that people can do things themselves? That anything a person has achieved through hard work cannot just be their hard work? It's always a work of God. God did this, God did that....did "he"? No! God did nothing. You did it. you did it all, because you are God.

Now my argument may sound a little self defeating, but it isn't. God isn't this powerful man in the sky that might occasionally help you out if you ask nicely. God is within you, follows and performs you every move, every action, and every reaction. Why can't people learn to take credit for the things they do? "Thank you god" is often said when something good happens. These people though are thanking something they believe to be living in the clouds watching over them. Instead they should be congratulating themselves. The god inside does not need a thanks. It doesn't need thanks because it knows how you feel. It knows that you thank it, and that it has performed well. It knows, you know, it is you.

This is why it's a force that most cannot comprehend. Most do not believe in themselves. But believe in God. It's tragic, and it's one of the reasons that there are so many miserable people living on this little planet. People all over the place are repressing themselves without even knowing it. Is it any wonder that people are filled with egos that like to feel sorry for themselves. You are believing in something that's inside you, and yet not recognising that it's you you should be believing in. This is partly how the ego came about. How we have ended up with a spirit and an ego. There isn't really room for both. The ego is the devil in you. It's what holds you back. Keeps you stuck on red...occasionally having a play and letting you get to amber. It's the spirit, GOD, that lets you get to green. It seems to me that more people believe in the devil than anything by not giving themselves a chance.

The more you believe in yourself instead of a metaphor the more you will be able to achieve. Give yourself more recognition and more credit. It can be done easily if you try hard enough.

I've not had a clue what's been going on over the past 18 months. In fact I've not really had a clue for a few years. I still don't. I am learning though. At least giving this learning thing a go. And I'm not letting myself get bogged down with everyday grime.

Read the bible. Please tell me how any part can be true. So much contradicts too, but nobody ever seems to notice. It's symbolic. It's a metaphor. Learn how to read it properly, and then believe in yourself. PLEASE
