I don’t really believe in God per se.
I believe more in a higher power.
Not like something that rules over us,
But rather an energy
that guides the universe
and keeps things going,
if that makes sense.

I feel that every living being
has some of that energy in them
So were all interconnected

And it’s not that theres a force in everyone,
But instead
that theres a part of that universal energy
within everyone.
Not necessarily inside their body,
but an energy that connects all of us
and is the reason we’re alive.
The entity
that gives us consciousness
and allows us to continue living.
Kind of like a soul,
But not an individual soul.

Like a web that ties us all together,
And allows atoms to form elements
to form chemicals
and thus living beings.
It connects us to every rock, flower, animal,
drop of water, gust of wind, human being…

And I don’t think a higher power has intelligence,
At least as we know it.
I think they’re something else
Something we can’t understand
Something that transcends time
and the physical dimensions.

I think it has a consciousness
but not in the way humans do
or in the way humans can understand.
And if something transcends all of that
then it is neither individual
nor collective
Yet it unites us all.

If it transcends time
then it connects us to our ancestors
And potentially allows us to have multiple “lives”
Energy cannot be created or destroyed,
So how can we just turn to nothing once we die?
To me that part of the web that was where we lived
encompasses another body once we die
In other words, reincarnation
in a way that our consciousness and “soul”,
can’t be destroyed once we die
so it encompasses another body,
which is hence our next life
It is not us in terms of identity
but in terms of a deeper, energetic form of us.

Maybe once we have had “enough” lives
(whatever that means)
we stop being part of the web.
And just go back to the original energy
And help connect and guide
others still connected
to the wonderful web.

To me
its either that
or atheism.
