I used to think that Jesus was just a successful cult leader.

I still feel that he was a man like anyone else. However, he was a man who realized the truth that god is within all of us and makes up all of creation.

I identify closely with Spinoza’s idea of god as the force that moves all things. We are all parts of the whole, temporarily perceiving our self through a limited perspective.

It is hard to draw any real distinction between ourselves and the world around us.


Everyone I try to talk to about this looks at me like I’m crazy.

Any thoughts?
