if you take out that objectionable word "god", it has far too many negative connotations, and eliminate the idea that there is a direction to this force; even i could find common ground with your concept. the major stumbling block for most schools of spiritual thought is that they tend to anthropomorphize that force, giving it their own face and goals. all natures have no aim but growth, whether spiritual or physical, and no end but eventual death and rebirth in another, usually totally unrelated, form. the very idea that such a force could have any desire at all is just another of man's many conceits. the desire for worship and conformity belongs to man alone.
