GOD IS NOT A NARCISSIST!!! What is sad to me is that religion portrays Him as such and condemns anyone who might question the absurdity of that. In my pursuit for truth and understanding of who really God is, I have been asked (by religious leaders) to 1.) Don’t question, just believe whatever we tell you to believe by faith. 2.) Absolutely do not use logic and reason and just believe whatever we tell you to believe by faith. 3.) Conform to our conclusions and believe whatever we tell you to believe by faith. 4.) Never trust your own heart or your own conscience (inner knowing) and just believe whatever we tell you to believe by faith 5.) Etc. I once was asked (by leaders) to read a book called The True Nature of God (which more aligned with their beliefs) to help guide me to a better understanding of God. The author’s conclusion was that God had to go outside of His nature to deal with people – REALLY??? That IS the definition of narcissism – doing whatever it takes to manipulate and control people into getting them to do what you want them to do! Sorry – I don’t buy it – THAT IS NOT GOD!!!
When you actually learn how to do healthy whole relationships, which means:
*Doing relationships from a foundation of unconditional love and acceptance
*Creating a safe place for people to be authentic
*Valuing differences and not trying to change people
*Seeking understanding instead of agreement
*Becoming self-aware and facing your own fears and insecurities
*Not projecting your own issues on to others
*Letting go of control
*Empowering others to be whole and free
you begin to realize that the god most of us were taught about growing up did NOT operate or promote healthy whole relationships. There is something wrong with that!!!
It is time that we reevaluate what we were taught and who we portray God to be!!!
