God Dwells Within You, Your Personal Views Options

There's a lot of references on many texts that rephrase versions of the "god that dwells within each of us".

How do you personally relate and define this idea/concept in your personal world?

Feel free to expand on this subject.

Oh, why not, I'll add my two cents.

We control everything that we experience. Our little bubble, everything we hear or say, is based on our perceptions. Our subconscious, our society, things we take and learn in essence, are taken to be truths; truths give us knowledge and shape our views. We can hear tones in a voice that did not exist, but must be true, because there would be no other reason to hear them than that they are there. We can know people inside and out, even though we don't know them at all, because that's "just the way it is". And since, at our basic level, subconscious is the collection of thoughts and ideas that we have taken over the years that we live, love, and give life to, who controls our subconscious? Things we accept as truths, and therefore; we do.

And since perception is truth, and we control truth, are we not gods?

Taken another way, what I just said can mean that the subconscious is the ether, the ancient food of gods, ghosts, and any slew of monsters. Perhaps, the subconscious is the language of magic; perhaps it's just something we have. Perhaps the subconscious does not exist, and we think it does as an application of layers to our minds to seem "deep"... Perhaps we accept it as truth falsely. Or maybe the subconscious is God, and we're living its dreams.

What I mean to say is, who knows? God is God. Are we God? I don't know, I might never know. I can honestly say that I don't care to know. All I know is what I know, and that's perfectly fine with me.

Absolutely well written.

Very intelligent response... we "don't" know, and to think about it would be almost pointless, though bliss.
