Reclaiming the Divine: A Personal Reflection on God, Power, and Inner Truth

Some time ago, I shared a thought-provoking idea: that what we’ve historically referred to as “God” or “the gods” might actually be an off-world civilization—or a being—that not only created humanity, but also embedded within us a moral compass, a kind of internal code of conduct.

It raises the question: was the figure of Jesus introduced simply to remind us of that moral code? Was his presence meant to realign us with a deeper truth, much like Noah’s warnings in the lead-up to the great flood?

As for the tale of the devil—a fallen angel cast down by God—I find it hard to accept. To me, the concept of the devil feels more like a human invention, a projection of our own darker impulses. Over centuries, we've given that idea shape and power through our own actions. Evil, in this sense, may not be an external entity, but something we summon through the choices we make.

Throughout history, some individuals have played god. Men intoxicated by power—rulers, warlords, political leaders, corporate moguls, even religious figures—have enacted systems to control the masses, building institutions that keep humanity tethered to rules they themselves created. Often, those who opposed these systems were silenced—by force, by exile, or in today’s terms, by "cancellation." The methods may have evolved, but the intent remains the same: suppression of dissent.

It seems to me that the spiritual essence of humanity has been hijacked. What was once a deeply personal connection with a higher source has been overshadowed by man-made dogma and institutions designed to disconnect us from our own divinity.

Consider the crucifixion of Jesus. He was betrayed and executed, then the symbol of his death—the cross—was placed on every religious building as a reminder that he died for our sins. But is that the full truth? Or could it be one of the greatest manipulations in history? A symbol of suffering rebranded as salvation, used to reinforce guilt and submission.

Across the ages, entire communities have been destroyed in the name of religion. Even in modern times, peaceful peoples are wiped out in acts of genocide, all under the guise of divine will. And yet, we’re told this is the work of the “Almighty.”

Thankfully, I believe every human possesses a soul—a spirit. And that spirit isn't exclusive to the chosen few. It’s not confined to a pulpit or priesthood. It is the living essence within each of us.

Seeing how those who have advocated peace and love have so often been persecuted, I can only conclude that there are forces—whether human or otherwise—actively working to suppress what is good in the world. We see cultures destabilized, values challenged, and conflict used as a tool to displace populations and divide communities. The result? Confusion, fear, and a loss of personal agency.

Many people feel powerless in the face of all this. “What can I do?” becomes the prevailing sentiment. And by doing nothing, we unknowingly become complicit. Even our acts of resistance are often channeled in ways that serve the very systems we hope to dismantle.

There is a growing number of people who are waking up—who are asking deeper questions. But I still wonder if it’s enough to create meaningful change. I believe we need to return to something simpler, something more inner. A quieter spirituality that reconnects us to our sovereignty and helps us let go of the need to follow false narratives.

Mainstream systems—media, politics, consumerism—are largely corrupted. Our material obsessions spread across the globe like a disease, distancing us from what really matters.

I don’t think salvation will come from a single leader or figurehead. Real answers are found within, in the quiet spaces of our own hearts and minds. If there is a God watching us from afar, I believe He is still sending us signs. The question is: are we willing to see them? Are we ready to listen?

Maybe God isn’t a “person” at all—but something far more profound. Something beyond words, beyond form. A presence that exists within all of us, guiding us across lifetimes toward greater awareness.

Perhaps what science calls the Big Bang was not a random explosion, but the very moment God created the universe—so that each of us might begin a journey of returning to the source, step by step, soul by soul.

Thanks for reading.
