Once you outgrow the "big daddy in the sky," and get over the childish fairy-tale idea of a "God" who is a "person out there," you can really get serious about independent, strong spiritual growth! For the "big daddy" only cripples you.
"He" can also embitter you; for if "He" is out there, is "He" deaf? Or just stupid? Or, much worse, is "He" indifferent? What if "He" doesn't care for you? What if "He" hates you?
This monstrous humanoid godimage has ruined many lives. When we awaken to the fact that God does not HAVE Love, but IS Love, that changes everything for the better! Then, at last, we can get a handle on what's really going on! Then, we can stop wasting our breath, and timenergy, begging the unresponsive skies for special favors! Then, we can determine just "how much" of God we want in our lives, by regulating the inner "Love-valve." Want more God? then, just open your Love-valve wider! This is the paradox: The only way to get more Love is to give more Love!

This idea of opening the "love-valve" is a very powerful metaphor! I like the implication that its already there, and we have the choice of its ... delivery. Opening oneself in both directions - giving love, making love, allowing love - and then receiving love too. I don't think I've ever heard this way of framing it before. Thank you!
