Angela no we didn't. Thats part of the problem. I usually use the word God in a very generic and abstract way, and I think thats greatly misunderstood. In TM we used to have all kinds of substitute words, like CI, or Being (impersonal God), or unified field, When I left TM I felt I didn't want to relate to TM lingo anymore, and adopted the more general word God. For me the word God could comprise any of these ideas. So, when I say, We are not in control of our thoughts, but God is, God could mean any cosmic force or intelligence outside of our I sense. > Tubingen is a university famous in Europe for many centuries for its department of theology. They had a conference not too long ago in which the existence of God was the topic for discussion. After learned dudes from all over the world had presented their arguments in learned papers for three days, an old guy got up and said, "Gentlemen, the Lord is so great, He doesn't have to exist if He doesn't feel like it." a > Great!
