God is an idea

God is an idea,

your idea.

And upon this idea

you build your reality.

Upon the idea that God is an outside force

many build a god.

And upon such an idea

little is done ‘inside’ to acknowledge the God within.

Upon the idea that God is male

many build a god.

And upon such an idea

the female archetype is lost.

Upon the idea that god is not nature

many build a God.

And upon such an idea

is detachment of a 'living earthly' God.

Upon the idea that God is judgmental

many build a God.

And upon such an idea

self judgment is made in the name of God.

Upon the idea of god as completed and perfect

many build a God.

And upon such an idea

perfection is misunderstood and life and spontaneity is demeaned.

God is an idea

And upon this idea you build a house.

And it is this house that you live within.

God is an idea;

your idea / no one else’s.
