As The Dalai Lama explained in An Open Heart, our transformation and spiritual journey is a long one. He suggests finding a spiritual teacher to help guide us. This may take decades to find the right teacher.
I thought about this and realized that the reason I have been struggling with my definition of God is because I have no teacher. It is unfair for me to reject ideas without exploring them with a qualified teacher. I admit that I have let hearsay and flippant translations guide my opinion.
I don't really know where to start looking for a guru, or even if I have time to devote to study with kids, family, home, etc. to manage. I do understand that without it, I will continue to struggle, but then maybe now what I recognize is the need to keep an open mind to everything and try to not pass judgment using bad information.
