What is the difference between a power “greater than yourself” with a name like God verses a power “greater than yourself” with a name like “gravity, love, playful harmonies, and the Republican Party.”?
In my mind, God (by whatever name or description) IS a higher power due to primordial existence, being all knowing, being all seeing, having some part in my creation,etc… I would not consider gravity a force greater than me because it does not embody consciousness, I would consider love a synonym for God or playful harmonies. I would not consider any group (such as the Republican Party) a higher force due to the fact that they are simply a creation or extension of “me” that reflects specific ideas/concepts/thoughts within me.
Anyone have reflections on this ?
