Interesting post, and quite humorous, actually. Makes me wonder why you were moved to write it. So, I'm compelled to write a response: I agree. There is no "God-thingy" who will show up, saying "okydoaky!" So governing yourself is the exact plan set in motion when you were born. Glad you got the message. Now, the reason you can do all these things is: You're God. Yep that's right - you're God. We're all God (or whatever you want to call him/her/it). We just don't know it. And so we wreak havoc on the world and each other, trying to find SOMEBODY in charge and SOMEBODY to blame when we screw everything up. Or we use the 10,000-year old excuse: It's God's will or the Devil made me do it. Well, sportsfans, guess who's all the above? You see, there are 4 levels of spiritual consciousness: 1. Me. This is where God exists outside of myself. That I must look to some higher power/wisdom to find Grace. 2. Us. This is where "me" realizes that God is beside me, helping, guiding and answering prayers, leading me to Grace. 3. We. This is where "me" realizes that God is in my heart, within me, and that the Light of Spirit actually resides and creates within me the love that is the Grace I have been so desperately seeking. 4. I (or One). Now this is where "me" realizes that God is not only within me, but that I am one with God, connected to God and every THING. By working as the One, the all connected, goodness and mercy can be spread throughout the world, and Grace becomes a living entity.
