Hey God, where are you?
I always knew that God couldn't possibly be what I was taught. But who was I to judge? I was just a kid growing up, trying to make sense of what I observed, and experienced myself. From early age on I wanted to know what life was all about. But to my surprise that caused everyone in my surrounding to label me as "weird". To me it felt weird not to have all these questions! How come those strange adults didn't want to know what life was all about, and what god had in mind with it? Just for starters, why was god a "he"? And if there was a "he", then where was the "she"? How weird for a kid asking questions like that...
How weird for a kid wanting answers to why a god would allow, or even cause pain and injustice for some, and happiness and abundance for others. Why would he do that? And how did he decide who got what? Why should I love or let alone honor, and respect a god who was more revengeful, and less forgiving than anyone I knew? Why should I try to be "good", if he did "bad" himself? It simply didn't make sense to me.
And the older I got, the more questions I had. But noone seemed to care, noone had answers. On the contrary, everybody I knew lived – outspokenly, or silently – accepting
a perception of a god and a life that I simply knew couldn't possibly be true.
This unnegotiable, inner knowingness never allowed me to simply drop the whole thing altogether. And believe me, I tried... At best I could numb it for some time, but I never succeeded in making it go away. And it is the same knowingness that so many people feel today. They have long since turned away from a religious god they can't relate to. But they don't know where to turn to instead, and what to do with their inner knowingness, their "hunch" that there truly is something else. Another "God", another force, another ... something far grander than what religion taught us.
It is the beautiful, and sacred knowingness of that something that has begun to awaken in human consciousness stronger and more powerful than ever before. People all over the world ask and long for the God with the big "G". To some degree they all remember Spirit. They all remember Home.
Whatever term you feel comfortable calling that "something", doesn't matter. What it comes down to though for many is to let go of the god they were "sold", in order to find and feel again the True Source, the True God, the Spirit, the Eternal Love within themselves.
With creating this Spirit Lounge I intend to provide a space that supports and invites you to reconnect, and "hang out with Spirit". Your Spirit.
I'm still in the process of building this section. But soon you will find inspirational things to read, and beautiful music that will help you connect with your Divine Self – the unique and precious Spirit you are, the true Spirit of Life, and the grand and loving Spirit of that which truly is the God with the big "G" – always was, and always will be.
Welcome to my Spirit Lounge!
May this place help you find what you've been asking, and longing for.
