Note to self:
You are god. This may seem very egotistical, but actually it becomes clear that it’s just the opposite as you come to understand the next statement.
You are alone. This does not mean that you loose your family, friends and loved ones that gave you so much comfort throughout your life; it just means that they were never separate from you to begin with. They are within you.
Your mind creates the world around you.
When you die you do not dissolve back into the world around you but instead the world dissolves back into your mind.
When you come into this world you have departed from reality into a world of illusion. You have departed from the real and eternal into the unreal and temporary. This is a paradox because you never really left in the first place. There is no reason for this journey because by its very nature something that is untrue is also unreasonable and so it is that there can be no answer to the question why. It is simply natural that you are not perfect in this world and that you grow old and die. These are the characteristics of that which is not true.
Your higher self (God) is no more concerned about this process than you are concerned about falling asleep at night or expelling a breath. In fact, this process is the breath of life itself and eternal awakening.
With love,
You
This is just my attempt to lay out some thoughts. I have posted this in several other places like casting out a net to see what kinds of different perspectives I could get from people of different interests. It is just a starting point. My goal was to take my thoughts about a very broad and complex topic and try to distill them down to as few words as possible. The intention is that as the reader reads it they are speaking the words to themselves and considering the correctness or incorrectness of each statement. I thought it would be interesting to try to write something in such a way that as I am speaking to another I am also speaking to myself. It’s like standing between two mirrors and seeing reflections of yourself facing away from you stretching off into infinity and leaning forward to whisper a message into your own ear.
My thought is that God is alone. If you think of God as simply that creative force that creates things, and if you think of the space in which these things are created as a mind, then what would you call these things that have been created? I think that you would call them imaginary. This is why I say that God is alone and that all of creation is just imaginary.
I have more thoughts about these things in the blog on my profile. Please check it out if you get a chance.

Re: Note to Self: You are God
Sat, January 20, 2007 - 9:25 AMMy thoughts exactly! A few months ago I had asked to know the nature of God and I had 3 synchronicities over a few days- one through a book, one through an article over an email list, and one through a late night talk show that my husband woke me up to hear- and they all said what you just said :-) It truly changed my understanding of everything. I made a sign for my office that said "You are making this all up and you are probably making it harder than it has to be" ;-)
Blessings,

Re: Note to Self: You are God
Wed, February 21, 2007 - 2:23 AMFriends,
I found this to be very powerful and inspiring and I wanted to share this with you:
"What you are is much greater than anything or anyone else you have ever yearned for. God is manifest in you in a way that He is not manifest in any other human being. Your face is unlike anyone else's, your soul is unlike anyone else's, you are sufficient unto yourself; for within your soul lies the greatest treasure of all -- God"

Re: Note to Self: You are God
Thu, March 1, 2007 - 11:54 AMFrom what I think I am understanding! I agree!
What comes to mind is my own understanding of GOD (My heavenly Father) he is the energy and force behind each breath we take and the reason that we move and think , we are like machines that require a power source for each tiny process that goes on within us. Then when we fall asleep in death, that life force or power returns back to its source. So I guess what I am just saying is we would have to be GOD because he is greatest part of us!
How'd I do? (Smile!)
