If we are God's children, then God is in us, a part of our being. We are essentially a form of the universe experiencing itself, if you think about it. We're not strangers here. I don't believe a connection to God or anything spiritual requires a church or religious organisation/faction, they should only serve as a reminder through the purpose of their actions. Even the most pathologically disturbed understand what is considered good and right. It's inherent and innate in all of us. If your inner world is sound, with both piece and peace of mind, you need not rely on the dogma or commandments of an entity that may have lost touch. There's a speech by Muhammad Ali which I would like to add here, but perhaps 10 minutes is more than desirable for my response. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
