They told me god is a prison. They held a small truth to thier eyes to avoid seeing further.

The god of religion is a prison.

The god of atheism, be it chance or science or blind self love is a prison.

The god of the Self and all selves, the common root of all religions and spirituality and magic and mystery schools is true freedom, freedom in Truth.

We are all God, the rock and the stream, the earth and the air, the Self and the other, the outter space and the inner space, the space between your molecules and the space between the atoms of those molecules and the space between electrons and nucleus of the atoms...

Find the Unity that connects any of these apparent Dualities and you find God.

Not a man in the clouds, not the maker of the universe but the universe itself. The artist and the artwork are one. God couldn't tell you how he made you anymore than you can tell me how 10 million cells in your body were born in the last second and how 10 million died in the same second. You don't will it, you just are.

As long as you think god can be defined in words or understood in thoughts you are lost in the labrynth of your own brain, forever chasing shadows in a maze with no exit and filled with as many monsters as you can imagine.

Look past the words. Look within. Find your Truth.
