It's more like recognizing God as an energy flowing throughout consciousness and relationships. A bit more of a literal sense of the phrase "God is Love" if you will. Ultimately, this doesn't exclude the possibility of God being an "other" as well - it's more like a change towards a focus more appropriate for the current world situation.

Frankly though, it's not something that can be adequately described/explained in one post, or even a series of posts. Not to mention that I'm only beginning to explore this line of thought and I say that after having read 3 books pertaining to it in the past couple months as well as an entire class focusing on it.

The focus of "this world vs that world" is not something that has always been present in religion or Christianity for that matter. Likewise, the focus on the seperation between spirit and matter that has persisted in western religion over the past 1500 years has not always existed and, as far as I see it, will not continue to exist for much longer relatively speaking.
