I would suggest that this may happen simply because he uses the term, 'God' at all. I'll have to admit that Hawkins got me to question my own understanding of the term.

What I got from Hawkins is an understanding of the simple process of recontextualization, which includes the recontextualization of 'God', as content (i.e., what 'God' means) is surrendered for a greater awareness of context (i.e., what 'God' really is).
