We are all connected through a powerful force of love, which some call “God.”

Even though the fearful modern world tries to cover it up, the reality of life is that we’re surrounded by love. In fact, you could say that we’re all part of a gigantic sea of love.

For millennia, people have been searching for the right words to describe this sea of love, and many cultures have called it God. Whatever name it goes by, it all starts with everyone being part of the same min

The influential psychologist, Carl Jung, is just one person who believed that we all share the same mind, and he coined the term collective unconscious to describe it. According to Jung, our physical bodies are responsible for the misconception that we’re all separate individual

However, while our bodies may keep us feeling separated, there’s no reason to believe that our minds are disconnected. Throughout the ages, mystics have compared our lives to a drop in the ocean or a grain of sand on a beach. This speaks to their understanding that people are less like separate beings and more like parts of a much bigger whole. Something like a single collective mind.

For centuries now, some people have taken to calling this connective concept “God,” but we could also call it “love.” There’s a good chance you’ve heard the expression “God is Love,” but this is more of an attempt at a definition than it is a metaphor since you could also logically say that “Love is God.” These are interchangeable synonyms – two words for the same thing.

Interestingly enough, many people get uncomfortable around the word “God,” due to some of the negative associations that surround organized religions. But you don’t need to be religious to believe in God, all you have to do is believe in love.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what you want to call it. The important thing is to be aware of it. And as we’ll explore, there are great benefits to be had by surrendering yourself to this force.
