Do I Believe in God? By Tracy Thompson

I have a confession to make, I’m a big fan of Dr. Jordan Peterson. I greatly admire his ability to think on his feet and to respond with absolute clarity and depth. It is rare that he is ever caught off guard, but this one question seemed to challenge even him during an interview he did back in December of 2018.

As I watched, I could sense his discomfort, as if he were grappling with the enormity of the question itself. Yet, in true Dr. Peterson style, he delivered a response that was both eloquent and precise, offering a tapestry of facts and insights, with perhaps a touch of Nietzsche woven in, one of his favorite subjects, particularly when it comes to the themes of nihilism. His answer unfolded into a profound discussion on his belief in God, which left me pondering my own relationship with the Divine.

So, let’s start with the fundamental question: Do I believe in God? Yes-absolutely! However, my belief doesn’t stop there. I also believe in Jesus Christ, Yeshua, Sakyamuni and the 28 previous Buddhas, Siddhartha Gautama, Muhammad, Allah, Vishnu, Brahma, and countless other holy ascended masters. To me, these beings represent different facets of the same ultimate truth, various expressions of the Divine, each contributing to a greater understanding of God, Jehovah, Allah, Yahweh, and the many other names we’ve given to the Divine One or Source.

I guess what is really being asked here is do I believe in God in the same way that YOU Believe in God? To answer that question, we would need to engage in a deeply personal conversation. This is where the challenge lies—how does one speak of their belief in God without stepping on toes or risking misunderstanding? The beauty of our world is that it’s vast and diverse, and so too are our perceptions of the Divine. Each person’s understanding of God is shaped by their experiences, culture, and spiritual journey, making it a uniquely personal and, at times, delicate topic.

In our current world, with a population nearing 8 billion, there are twelve major religions practiced across the globe. These include Baha’i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism. Astonishingly, 83% of the world’s population identifies with one of these twelve classical religions.

So, this question, do I believe in God, is a complex and multi-layered question.

I wonder if we could look at this from another perspective, are you with me so far?

Is it possible for all of us to agree that whatever our perception is of God by whatever title or name; they have no gender, no beginning or ending, is omnipotence (all powerful), omniscience (all knowing), omnipresence (everywhere all the time)?

Is it also possible to agree that each one of us is a part of God in whatever way you perceive that to be? That we were all created to be in the image of God. That we could all as individuals, be the microcosm within the macrocosm of God and the macrocosm of God is also within every one of us.

Just as drops of water fall into the ocean and become one with the ocean so it is that the ocean is also within that tiny drop of water. This concept of God, or as I like to call the Divine One, Father-Mother God, is central to my spiritual practice, especially when it comes to my creative personal evolving type of meditation routine.

When I meditate, especially when I reach my higher chakras—the seventh, eighth, and ninth—I find that my understanding and vision of the Divine One has evolved over time. This evolution has been gradual, the result of many months of daily meditation and introspection. Over time, I’ve developed a set of rituals, or perhaps more accurately, a series of intuitive practices that guide me in my spiritual journey. These practices seem to have emerged organically, evolving as my needs and understanding have deepened. They help me to raise my vibrations, align my energy, and connect more fully with the Divine.

So, do I believe in God? Yes, I do. But my understanding of God is fluid, ever-changing, and deeply personal. It’s not about fitting into a specific religious mold, but about finding my own path to the Divine. And that path, for me, is one of meditation, creativity, and connection with the many faces of the Divine One.

I am so happy to share with everyone a glimpse into my meditation practice soon in an upcoming E-book explaining my process and how I connect with the Divine. You might enjoy going on a journey of exploration into my imagination as my Avatars act out as guides helping me move through all my chakras from zero to nine, raising my vibration and instilling a deeper connection with the Divine One that is both energizing and fun to do.

It is a deeply personal journey, one that is constantly evolving as I grow and learn. But at its core, it’s about finding balance, peace, and a deeper connection to the world around me.

Stay tuned soon for my E-book titled, ‘My Holy Trinity’, “A Creative Meditative Journey towards Higher Consciousness.” ‘I know you will enjoy the way my mind works, it’s very colorful and a bit like a video game.’  Quote by Tracy Thompson
