The Universe is God;

True humanism, primal spirituality, and the energy of evolution must join together in a conscious force, to tell the truth about God and life.
The truth is that there is no” God” in a book – “holy,” golden, or otherwise. There is no God in a church a cathedral, a synagogue, a temple, a mosque. There is no God cemented inside any manmade theological system or elitist cultural architecture.

God is definitely not bursting neck-veins of righteously profitable baloney at you from the TV Screen. There is no God for sale, even to the highest bidder, no matter how much organizations indulges in religious or nationalistic flag-waving and the bellicosity of world power.

The Universe is God; we are all now living inside the body of the Universe. There is nowhere to go to get there, we are already here. There is nowhere to go to get outside of the universe to find God; there is just a forgetting of this truth. It is impossible not to be living, right now and always, within the universe’s body. It is only possible to be aware, or unaware, of this fact.

Religions that try to block or repudiate our awareness of this cosmic fact, must themselves be repudiated. Religions that try to cut us off from our long evolutionary past, moralistic-mechanistic dogmas that deny our billions of years of passionate, heroic survival crawling up from the first cell through the genetic adventures of algae, fish, land plants, insects, reptiles, birds, mammals to the complex human consciousness of now must themselves be denied.

Such religions give us a cardboard definition of life that keeps us always lonely and alienated, cut off from the creative energy and integrity of the earth’s biological imagination. Religions that curse and distort our past as rooted in some dark savage “evil,” which, they say, can only be “expiated” by lifetimes of guilt and suffering – must be repudiated.. …. The Magic Flight Home-Patriarchal Culture and Religion.
