What if I told you
You don’t need anything
To find God
But a desire to know God?

You don’t need a church,
Nor an education
Neither a custom nor ritual
You don’t need a man or woman
To tell you who God is
Or how you should believe
Or not believe
To find God

You don’t need a dance around a tree
Or a fire burning in a tent
Mountaintops of meditation
Are not required
Candles and Chanting
Can be left behind
You don’t need to join a religion
There are no books you MUST read
To find God

Many come in the name of old thoughts
Many rise up against with new thoughts
Many speak of what you need to do
And how you need to understand
And what you need to accept of their belief
And what you must do in order to find
And how they have the answers
And how you must agree with them
To find God

Listen not to shame or pride or prejudice
Listen not to arrogance or boasting
Listen not to fear and punishment
Listen not to condemnation and judgement
Listen not to fantasy and the self righteous
Listen not to titles of men and women
Who claim themselves above another
Who steal your hope with their law

They would kill life
That does not obey them
Proving they know not God
They would condemn life
That does not obey their own rules
Proving they know not God
They would banish and shun
They that do not conform
Proving they know not life or God

They and ALL of them
Are designed to steal your mother and father
Your reality and your birthright
Your sovereignty and your choice
Your discovery and your awakening
And you’re relationship to God
All that you would follow and obey
Their singular perspective and regulation
They are not of your God but theirs
and their god is extremely petty

Yet all of them can be allies in your Journey
And many among them are brothers
Even they, though they cut themselves off

Fear not
And know that what you have now
Is enough
What you know now
Is enough
What you understand now
Is enough
And what you seek now
Is enough
to find God on your own

For the God of the Universe
Who made all the universe and beyond
Knows absolutely everything in this realm
And every detail and every thought
And every desire and hope
And every step of your life
And not one of us is unknown
To that source and power and omnipotence
That is God

Nor is anything in the universe
A waste and a valueless life
To God who is the master of Life
Nor is anyone cut off from God
Except they who have chosen themselves
To be cut off
As even the deceived
Are merely deceived that they are cut off

Even those who’s reality has been stolen
Have equal access to God

As customs and ritual and beliefs
Are all beautiful wonders of each faction
So too are they comprehended and designed
by men – with the understanding of flesh
And not one path of man at all is required
For any of us – to find our God

Seek God, and you shall find God
Ask God, and it shall be answered to you
Hope in God, and it shall be fruitful
Question God, and God will reveal

For God did not make life
That life would be a trick
Or that men would qualify you to God
Or that you would be required
To know anything to seek God
Neither was life made
That you would not exist

How can you be alive
And not exist to the source of Life?

As men do not hope in what does not exist
But in what they know can be real
And what they believe can be real

God is real as Life is real
We are real as life is in us
God is life and God is reality
God is the life within us
And all things in the universe
Are God
Even our desire to know God – is God

Where we are right now
Is exactly where we can seek God
Precisely when we can seek God
And all we need to find God
Is our desire to

By seeking we will be directed
By asking we will be motivated
By Hoping we shall discover more
By questioning we shall not be afraid

For God also desires we know God
And in the discovery do we find God
Everywhere

Even in those who condemn and judge
Even in those who know very little
For the beautiful things are exposed
And the excellent things become clear
And all things become our teacher
Even those who wish to enslave
As we see the bound from the free
And the humble from the proud
And the peacemakers from the lifeless
And the living waters of reality
From the stagnant obsessions of men

Neither are we afraid anymore to hear anyone
Or any belief
For we are not bound by men any longer
But free children of God to love them also
And we are not limited by mens understanding
But taught by God directly through our life
And the example of our own life awakens it
And the example of others enhances our faith

Begin again – Just you and God
For God knows all your prayers and dreams
We were not given life so that we would die
But given life so that we would live
We were not given hope so that we would suffer
But given hope so that we would pursue
We were not given desire so that we would ignore
Or turn over our relationship with God to another
But given desire because we are connected ourselves
To God

Let it flourish and grow
Ask God to plant the seed of truth in you
Ask God to water the ground within you
Ask God to bring the sunlight of God
To awaken that seed
And ask God to weed the garden in you
of ALL that distracts you from God’s own revelation
And God will.
