God is an idea
God is an idea,
your idea.
And upon this idea
you build your reality.
Upon the idea that God is an outside force
many build a god.
And upon such an idea
little is done ‘inside’ to acknowledge the God within.
Upon the idea that God is male
many build a god.
And upon such an idea
the female archetype is lost.
Upon the idea that god is not nature
many build a God.
And upon such an idea
is detachment of a 'living earthly' God.
Upon the idea that God is judgmental
many build a God.
And upon such an idea
self judgment is made in the name of God.
Upon the idea of god as completed and perfect
many build a God.
And upon such an idea
perfection is misunderstood and life and spontaneity is demeaned.
God is an idea
And upon this idea you build a house.
And it is this house that you live within.
God is an idea;
your idea / no one else’s.
