Between Two Worlds: Lessons From the Other Side

by Tyler Henry

I definitely believe in an inherent creative force that’s responsible for—and interconnects—all that is. Although I was raised to believe in an anthropomorphic God who passes judgment and metes out damnation or heavenly reward, ultimately my pursuit of God led me inward. I now view God as a force that we are all not just the result of—we are also a part. What gave me that unexplainable feeling of fulfillment as we worshipped together in church was not the “rightness” of the words we were singing together or the doctrine we were supporting. It was the feeling of connection between people in a congregation, as they expressed collective gratitude to the Creator. This feeling of fulfillment doesn’t require religion at all. It is available to any group of souls communing through interconnected passion and selfless dedication to a force greater than themselves. My spiritual sense tells me this is where God lives. No matter how it is manifested, I know that this source connection runs through us all, infinitely.
