For your contemplation, the test challenge statement, "Come with me, I will take you to God" could, for one who monotheistically believes in a deity, have had almost the same outcome as my own - almost. Since I recognized that challenge to be partially a test of my commitment to myself, and partially a test of my self-inspection affirming that I was doing my best, the question would have been a good test even for one who believes in a deity. Such a "believing" person might have thought, "Ask yourself: Why would an all powerful, omnipresent God position a representative to take me to him? As omnipresence, I would already be with God. Why should I submit to being led by one I did not know, on a presumption that could be a delusion, that I might be taken to God?" So a response of equal integrity would have been: "No! God is with me always! You cannot take me to what is already within me! You must be a charlatan!"
With that decision not to be led, it is implied that personal objectivity would be in place so that you would not blindly follow one you did not know, and could find truth for yourself.
To me, there is no question that there is a life force within and among us, developed from within ourselves connecting with, and flowing through, all living things. The derivation of that life force is from processes in the universe that began some billions of years ago. Consequently, I can confidently attest to you that my "god" is the universe itself, the source of all structures and fields of matter, organic and inorganic, all energetic fields of being.
My god is not a monotheistic super-being but rather the process of forces, fields, and energy that encompasses all of nature. Since I am child of the universe, as you are, in popular terms the universe is my parental base: my father. Accordingly, I can emphatically say that my god is omnipresent and within me, and interconnected to all.
I find peace and joy, and a sense of personal freedom, through this knowledge. I am free of guilt and the need to seek salvation at the hands of another. My spirituality is the whole of my awareness and comprehension of universal truth.
