An entire day, I murmured, Spinoza God, and found it so beautiful.
How did I arrive at Spinoza God?
First, I strike free and walked my own path to God.
Walking it right out of the monastery I was in.
One day, I felt it, God in everything around me.
He is the God of the Universe, I exclaimed.
And called him that.
A few years after that, a friend casually remarked, we are all gods.
I knew he said it to rile us, staunched Catholics and ignored him.
However, that phrase stayed in my mind.
Then I learned about the book, Ra, the Law of One.
And understood why that friend said, we are all Gods.
However, it was still disappointing to learn,
God did not directly create us.
How could that be?
I always marvel at the wonderful creation of our bodies.
And thought only God could create something of that nature.
Even more disappointing it was to learn, God is not a personal God.
How could he not be a personal God?
I experience his Divine Providence in my life.
And know he takes care of me.
From there, I moved into Indian mystics.
And was drawn to the practice of self inquiry.
One day, I experienced it, my ego self dissolving.
My real self took over.
That, I learned is my eternal self, my divine self or godshelf.
I started delving into physicists, Marx Planx, Frederico Faggins etc.
Culminating in Baruch Spinoza.
Spinoza held it as God or Nature.
The two are the same.
It is God or Nature.
Nature as in the entire Universe.
Hence God is Nature. Nature is God.
His God is not personal but this single Infinite ground
from which everything arises.
