G-d within

[wil]

My view has an omniscient G-d, an all pervasive spirit.

Our church says, "We teach there is a power within us, that far exists anything that exists outside of us"

Now I had issues with that for years. Despite or because of the fact that I believed G-d was within as well as without, that my access to the kingdom of heaven was within....if G-d is everywhere how is there a power within me that is greater than that without?

Then I developed the understanding that the difference is my connection to source is through my thoughts, words and actions. And I have no control over anyone else or really anything outside of me...but I do have control of my perceptions, my reactions, my thoughts....and that makes all the difference in the world.

So my access and connection to source combined with my understanding of personal responsibility, and control over my emotions, thoughts, perceptions...far exceeds any external anything...

Another line I heard years ago from someone...when it comes to a vote, me and G-d are always a majority.
