Today's MOZEN: I Am God

F LoBuono

Let me ask an old question a new way: why MUST there be a higher power in the Universe? Isn't every human being on the planet born with the infinite potential to love and to hate,  to give and to take, to hope and despair, to create and destroy?

Isn't this the very definition of god?

So, why must we assign this power to some unseen, omnipotent force when it actually lies with us - ALL of us?

Some will see this as arrogant or worse - blasphemous, even. But, why? Isn't it beautiful to think that all the vastness and greatness of the ENTIRE Universe lies within each of us? And, once we get the idea that because of this unlimited potential each and everyone of us is, in a sense, DIVINE through our heads, the world will be a better place.

There are things in the Universe we can never understand. So, people assign some mysterious personalized force that must be responsible for it. Usually, it is represented by a bearded, old, white man. But, why? Are we frightened by the very vastness of it all? Why is it necessary to believe that some ultimately benign (or, not) entity is pulling the strings like some almighty puppeteer who controls every aspect of our lives? Instead, we should be empowering ourselves with the idea that all of us, even the lowest of the low, contains all the divinity in possession of any so-called god.

Therefore, I am god - and, SO ARE YOU! So, with that in mind, let's be a little nicer to one another.
