Have you been taught or are you holding onto a belief system about God that creates suffering in your life? Are you holding onto a belief that God is a judging God, or that God needs something from you, or requires something of you? If you are, do you realize that it is a choice to continue to hold onto a belief you have been taught rather than experiencing God for yourself? Do you understand that you can look for yourself or inquire within?
What I am about to say is not a judgment, even though it could be perceived as such. I am amazed at how many people hold onto a belief about God that says God judges them, and still attempt to honor that God. Is it fear?
If you have a belief system about God that creates suffering in your life please begin to realize that it is a belief system; it is nothing more than what you have been taught to believe; they are thought forms, they are conditionings. We all have conditionings that we have to shed as we become spiritually mature, and those belief systems about God are not excluded. The funny part about it, and from my experience, God is more than willing to help you release those old belief systems, and to have a closer relationship with Existence and life itself. Also from my experience, God (because of free will and free choice) is not going to force you to have a new type of relationship; it is you that has to be willing to explore those old and new concepts.
So how do you know when you are getting closer to God? Pay attention to how you are feeling. If you are experiencing any type of suffering you are getting further away from God, from Life, from Existence. If you are experiencing love, liberation, and/or freedom, you are getting closer to God, you are beginning to let God in your life.
Who cares what the preachers have said or what they still say, pay attention to how you are feeling. This and only this will tell you if you are embracing a new or old way of being with God!
