I think it all rather depends on what one means by "god". Having suggested
that the true nature of the universe is unknown, I could say that "god" is
just another word for "whatever is really going on - the hidden machinations
of the universe". Personally, I don't feel a need to call that god - I
prefer to call the wonder of the universe, the wonder of the universe. To
me, there are meanings for the word "god" that have a bunch of connotations
that I don't particularly agree with, like the all-seeing, all-powerful,
good guy creator - like some sort of super-human father figure. That stuff
steps a little too far towards man making god in his own image.


You know that as well as I do...... don't dissect.... direct. The
whole of the entity is within you... not without you.

I have never considered creating art to have anything to do with god. I will
say that my best efforts (in music rather than painting) happen when there
is no thought or plan. There have been times when I've been so involved in
listening and responding to a piece of music, that I've been completely
unaware that I was playing it while I was listening. I'm a conduit - the
tunes I 'write' are already there, and all I'm doing is making them
tangible. As for where or what 'there' is, I prefer 'unknown' to 'god'.
