If you ask a hundred people what they think God is, you will get almost that many different answers. Whether it’s an old man sitting in the sky and pointing a finger or an ethereal presence, years of propaganda have created an image in our thoughts, and that is what we envision today. This is one of the main reasons I prefer to think of It as divine Mind or infinite Love. It’s easier for me to depersonalize the God I have made in my own image, to turn the tables and allow myself to be the expression of Mind, the experience of Love.
“Question. — What is God? Answer. — God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 465:8-10
“Listen and learn, and do not judge. It is to God you turn to hear what you should do. His answer will be clear as morning, nor is His forgiveness what you think it is.”
A Course in Miracles S-2.III.6:9-11
Yes! This is so important--to deconstruct our image of the Divine in exchange for true relationship
