How To Explore God's Secrets To Success

God is widely believe in by the vast majority of people, but for all intents and purposes we live as if the divine is irrelevant to the duties and challenges of everyday life. I felt that a change of attitude was urgently needed, which led me to write a book, The Future of God, where this new conception can be fully laid out. What would make God useful isn't found "out there" in the rituals, dogmas, and orthodox beliefs that most people focus on when they approach religion. "In here" are aspects of consciousness that connect us to our source, and that source is God.

Therefore God is human insofar as we are connected through our own sense of self; God is divine insofar as he (or she) has infinite scope--cosmic consciousness pervades everything, whereas individual consciousness doesn't. But rather than getting into any abstractions, the essence of the connection between human and divine is pragmatic. If God can't help with life's daily challenges, he is unlikely to have a future in our increasingly secular world.

One attribute of God or cosmic consciousness, is non-judgment. If consciousness is everywhere, then there is only one consciousness. As it expresses itself through each human being, there is an appearance of separation. What you think about politics, for example, or about family, religion, your career, etc., isn't the same as what I may be thinking. But we both draw upon the infinite reservoir of consciousness, with its unlimited creative potential. If you can see that this is true, there is no need to judge other people. Non-judgment is a divine attribute, not because God is a nice person, but because consciousness is a level playing field from which all of us draw purpose, meaning, values, desires, etc.

Here are some behaviors that allow you to test if non-judgment leads to a better life.

• Accept others as equals, not superiors or inferiors.
• Hold off criticizing others.
• Entertain ideas that aren't identical to our own.
• Don't try to improve other people, imposing your own notions of morality or correct behavior.
• Stop making others feel wrong.
• Offer encouragement and approval, which are the positive results of non-judgment.
• Tend to your own shortcomings instead of focusing on the shortcomings of others.
• Avoid using tags of race, gender, politics, and religion.
• Drop wholesale judgments against 'those kind of people" and look instead on each person as unique.
