All we children of God

I say: You are gods, and all children of God. Psalm 82:6.

And I have said: Nothing, not God, is greater to one than one’s self is ….
Why should I wish to see God better than this day?
I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then,
In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass.
Walt Whitman, 1892.

Verse 32. God is a part of mankind. If (when) all of the human race expires from the Earth, so too will God. God is in you, just as you are in God. God needs you as much as you need God. You and God are one. No intercession is necessary to connect you with yourself.

The biggest thing people need to know and understand is that they are God. We mostly have lost the sense of our own divinity. [Call it collective amnesia – JL] Wayne Dyer

Religion is society worshipping itself. Émile Durkheim

When we pray, we pray to ourselves. Dew Langrial

“I have said that the soul is not more than the body,
And I have said that the body is not more than the soul,
And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one’s self is,
And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud,
And I or you pocketless of a dime may purchase the pick of the earth,
And to glance with an eye or show a bean in its pod confounds the learning of all times,
And there is no trade or employment but the young man following it may become a hero,
And there is no object so soft but it makes a hub for the wheel’d universe,
And I say to any man or woman, Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes.

And I say to mankind, Be not curious about God,
For I who am curious about each am not curious about God,
(No array of terms can say how much I am at peace about God and about death.)

I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least,
Nor do I understand who there can be more wonderful than myself.

Why should I wish to see God better than this day?
I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then,
In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass,
I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign’d by God’s name,
And I leave them where they are, for I know that wheresoe’er I go,
Others will punctually come for ever and ever.“

Song of Myself (1892 version) by Walt Whitman
