When I was a teenager I tried to be a Christian, I tried to be a believer. I’m from a part of Norway that is so full of Christians that it is nicknamed “the Bible Belt”, and being surrounded by so many believers I didn’t want to feel like an outsider. No matter how much I tried there was something in me that didn’t want to believe that there is a God in the sense that a lot of religions describe, a person or creature deciding and judging our actions.
I believe that there are miracles in this world that sometimes are better felt than explained, without a doubt, but I couldn’t quite place my finger on what it was. The ashram I lived in when I took my yoga teacher training I came across a sign in the forest that looked like this:
God is one.
The names are many
There are no higher religion than LOVE
This really resonated with me. This is the energy that I’ve felt everywhere, no matter what type of religious (or non religious) people I came across. Love isn’t restricted to various religions or beliefs. Isn’t the base of most religions to love thy neighbour?
God now is no more a person sitting up in the clouds looking down at what I do at every second, god everything. God is Mother Earth. God is Father Sky. God is the energy keeping everything alive. To me, God is the universe.
Remember to love. It has no borders and no limits. I’m sending you, dear reader, all the love in the world. We are the same you and I. Both a part of the same big wholeness. Wishing you a beautiful and kind day.
Love,
Tone
