One of our favorite scientists is Carl Sagan. Some people have described him as an atheist. But he denied that label.

Spirit

We define love as simply a choice – a choice to recognize the divinity in all beings (all that is). First, though, what is all that is?

“All that Is” is another term for the Great Spirit—God—Goddess, or whatever other names you want to use for the supreme being. We like “All That Is.”

All That Is is all that exists. And that says it ALL. It is all that exists in the universe. It is part of God. It’s not only part of God. It IS God.

God is NOT some supreme kingly or queenly presence sitting on some heavenly throne, quite distant from and definitely not a part of “lower” creation. God is not even a separate being, as many throughout the ages have seen Him/Her.

Many of your planet’s mainstream religions view God that way. However, that is simply a part of their growth process. And we must not judge or criticize them or their followers.

All beings will ultimately move from darkness into light. And when they do, they will realize this great truth:
God is us. We are God. GOD is all that is.

It’s that simple—and that profound.
