I really relate to this. I have started to focus on energy when I look around me. I take a daily walk and recently I’ve started thinking of all the people walking their dogs, the dogs, the cats, the squirrels, chipmunks, and birds I see in my neighborhood--as animated by the same energy I am--and that permeates the universe…

Yeah! Maybe I don’t need my pronoun.

I like the idea now that God doesn't have a religion.

The God in the sky, the God outside of yourself... that's the one that said the quote to moses in leviticus, and that ones not real other than the reality co-creators give it!

The I AM that I AM however, is inside of you and you are a beautiful unique personification of it.
One of the most wonderful things that Avalon has done for me is to help me overcome the utter FEAR and CONFUSION I used to cope with because of religion and the Bible. Some things I suspected intuitively, but it really helps a lot to read what others say. Gives me more confidence!!

Here's another thought I have about God:

I am beginning to think that God is not the creator. That God has always been here and so has the universe. I'm beginning to think that that makes more sense than it does that God would create itself and us.

What do you think about that?
