Some of my current notions about God:

* God does not exist as a separate entity, yet is always present as the ground of being.

* God is not an old man in the sky, but the ineffable source of existence.

* God is beyond rational understanding or language. Attempts to define or describe God intellectually are limited and mistaken.

* God is not separate from the universe or nature. The universe itself, here and now, is an expression of God.

* God is not purely spiritual or material. God transcends and includes both spirit and matter.

* God is not a singular force, but the coming together of all things and experiences.

* Experiencing God means being fully present and awake to each moment.

* #Quaker worship + meditation help to strip away limiting thoughts to connect with God.

* God is both personal and impersonal, knowable yet ultimately mysterious.

* God is love, silence, action and stillness all at once.

* Morality is an expression of God's order in the universe. A good life involves living in harmony with this moral order.

* Faith means trusting the ground of being, committing to what is true, not blind belief.

* Doubt and skepticism are necessary counterparts to faith. They keep you grounded and out of cults.
