God: A Story of Revelation (Enlightenment Collection Book 4)

by Deepak Chopra

But if God is pure potential, things change radically. Potential is infinitely flexible. A God of potentiality doesn’t need to be obeyed, feared, or placated. He exists to unfold anything and everything. Our agonies arise because we do not realize the divine potential in ourselves, which can alter our fate. If you realize this fact, you may seek only to wake up from the horrors of the dream. In that case, your goal will be to return to the light, where total peace and complete absence of pain exist. Or you could decide to fulfill your divine potential here and now. In that case, God becomes much more human. He embodies all love, all creativity, all the good possibilities in life. With this realization, you don’t seek to return to the light. Instead, you master the dream, a poetic way of saying that you expand your consciousness.
