I live in a particular place at a particular time. I have interests  and opinions that have been shaped by the accumulation of my experiences. I am pretty much a product of my times and the place that I live. Like everyone else I am unique in that no two minds are ever exactly the same. For each of us that uniqueness is our standpoint, our point of view.

It is often said that the teaching of the Parent of Origin is best delivered in a way that is appropriate for the time, the place and the maturity of those who would hear it. To me that means that the Parent of Origin is willing to engage the minds of each of us as we are regardless of our standpoint.

In my own case I carry on an almost continuous mental dialog with myself. I talk about what I like and what I don't like. What I want and what I don't want. I share only a small portion of that mental dialog with other people. If I were to "let it all hang out" I strongly suspect that it would be theater of the absurd.  Though I often change my mind and over the years have abandoned many deeply held beliefs, somehow my point of view seems  to me to be always right. In brief I tend not to be very hard on myself even when I am shown that I am dead wrong.

The position that God loves us all equally is widely held. To me that means that God is never hard on any of us ever. I liken God to the light of the sun. It shines on good things and bad things equally. There is no judgement about what to shine on or when to shine. The sun just shines.

There are many opinions about the existence or non-existence of God. To me God is the light that makes it possible for my mental dialogue to take place. For me then God is what remains when that mental dialogue I spoke of is quiet. This seems to me to be a rather straightforward definition. Anyone who wishes to test it need only quiet the voice of the imagination long enough to see if what remains deserves to be called God.
