Yes, that's what it's often called. I don't know. But it doesn't necessarily mean that. You see, as soon as I think "Hey, when I'm really quiet I feel amazing, peaceful, joyful, loving of everything and everyone. That's God", I'm not being anymore, I'm thinking. Thoughts can be correct or incorrect (probably). Experience in the moment - reality, I like to call it - just is.

Hence, sometimes I believe in God, sometimes I believe that God is a delusion. They're thoughts.

Reality doesn't seem to give a toss either way.

Love could be God, or it could be the experience my genes create in my senses to trick me into passing them on.

I still feel love.
