For a deity so worshiped around the world, “God” is a polarizing term.

The polar opposites go from “My God” to “No God,” with some form of “Our God” taking up the middle ground.

I have a neutral position that I feel most can agree with that will put the concept of God in a new light.

Most everyone, including extreme fundamentalists and atheists, will admit to having “Gut Feelings.”

It’s that instant, unmistakable sense that something does or doesn’t pass the sniff test. It’s the proverbial OK/Not OK sensation that we all have experience with.

Let’s call that sense “Gut.” You can still call it “God” if you want to.

Gut hits us with an absence of logic because it’s not a mind phenomenon or mental construct; it’s a feeling.

The rub is that we pollute this feeling with mental debate after we receive it. Our intellect doesn’t trust what our gut is impressing upon us because it’s not in logical, thought form – the only thing it can understand. So our gut feeling becomes watered down with intellectual compromise that keeps us in Limbo.

Your gut, like what we hear about God, looks out for you 24/7 even when you are sleeping. Reminds me of questions I ask at my seminars . . .

I will inquire if there are any mothers in the group and hands will be raised. I ask them if they know when their children are lying and most of them say, “Yes.” I then ask them how they know. They rarely answer with a specific like, “They cock their head to one side when they lie.” The answer is more often, “I just get a feeling.”

Next, I ask, “How many of you mothers can sleep through a thunderstorm?” and several hands go up. I then ask those mothers if they ever heard their child softly sobbing in another room, through closed doors, in the middle of a loud thunderstorm that they traditionally sleep through. Invariable the answer is “Yes.”

What woke them up? A gut feeling!

My suggestion is to cultivate and catalog that feeling and not be so atheistic or oppositional when it visits you. By taking time to notice these sensations when they first arrive, you will be conditioning yourself to know what gut feeling are and begin to trust them.

Gut is non-denominational. It’s a God everyone can worship without having to give up your current belief system, because there is no belief necessary; you only have to feel.

My sense is that “My Gut Is My God” is not going to be a big selling Successories poster, but it’s a notion worth checking out – with your gut.

All the best,

John
