Yeah, the term 'god is within' doesn't really describe what I feel, either. Perhaps the way to get to 'god' (or the Divine as I like to call it!) is by going within....and it's there that you find your essential connection to the Divine? I mean, looking outside of yourself in the physical/material world isn't going to connect you to the Divine. But, yes, I do believe that 'God' or the Divine is 'outside' of our physical Selves...but that we're made up of this Divine 'stuff'....and maybe the more conscious we become the more we can feel this?
ah....just more rambles!
Do you really FEEL God within? Do you bring the feeling/experience that you had in your dream of God INTO your being? Because that would be very healing...to feel it, not just 'think' it/God/the Divine. The living Light can heal you, perhaps when you feel God within...?
