Still blaming God for all your troubles?

"Everything You Think You Know Is Just a Script Someone Else Wrote!"

"Still blaming God for all your troubles?"

The voice cut through the buzz of the Brooklyn coffee shop like thunder on a clear day. Across from me sat a guy in a worn leather jacket and faded jeans – the kind you’d pass on any street in Manhattan without a second glance. But his eyes held a fire that felt like it could burn through every lie I’d ever told myself.

"What else am I supposed to do?" I shot back, stirring my cold latte hard enough to slosh it over the cup. "Nothing ever goes right for me. Someone’s gotta be pulling the strings, right? God, fate… whatever you wanna call it."

He leaned back, a small smile playing at his lips as he took a sip of his black coffee. "God didn’t abandon you – you just haven’t woken up to the divine spark living inside you yet."

First Jolt – "The Truth You Believe Is Just Paint on a Wall"

Everything we’re taught as kids, every word in every textbook, every rule we’re told to follow – is any of it real?

He pulled out his phone and opened a map app, pointing at the screen. "You think we’re really sitting here in Brooklyn, right? But this map isn’t the city – it’s just lines and dots we made up to make sense of things. All the 'facts' you know are just a box someone built… and you’ve forgotten you have the power to build something better."

I started to get it. As a kid, my parents were my whole world. In school, teachers held all the answers. Now I let social media and news feeds tell me what to think. We spend our lives memorizing someone else’s script instead of writing our own – and we call that "truth."

"Your knowledge is just a tool to get you moving," he said, tapping his chest with his finger. "But you – the part that can dream and create and choose – that’s where the divine lives. That’s what sets you apart from AI."

I stared at my hands on the table. Every morning I wake up, go to work, scroll through my phone… is that just programming? Or is there something more in me that no algorithm could ever touch?

Second Jolt – "The World Isn’t Complicated – You Just Made It That Way"

I looked out the window at the crowd flowing down the street – people walking alone, couples holding hands, parents chasing after kids. Each one living their own version of "reality."

"You think you’re seeing the world as it is? All you’re seeing is how your eyes choose to look at it."

He nodded at the street outside. "Everyone out there thinks they’ve got it figured out. But is the red you see the same red I see? Is happiness the same for all of us? You don’t just understand the world – you shape it with the divine part of you that can imagine things no one else has ever dreamed of."

I thought back to all the times I’d yelled "Why is everything so hard?" – when I fought with my best friend, when I lost my job, when life just felt too heavy. But what if it wasn’t life that was complicated?

"Evolution didn’t just make us 'better,'" he said, leaning forward. "It woke up the divine spark inside us little by little. Sure, we’re more anxious than ever – but we also dream bigger, love deeper, and create things that would’ve seemed like magic a hundred years ago. That’s not progress – that’s divinity waking up."

I nodded slowly. We have more technology than ever, more choices than ever, more information than ever – but the real question isn’t why life is hard. It’s why we forget we have the power to make it beautiful.

Third Jolt – "You’re Never Alone – But You Keep Pretending You Are"

A family walked in – a little kid showing their mom a toy they’d just bought, dad squinting at the menu board. They looked so ordinary, so separate from everyone else.

"Humanity is one family – so why do you keep acting like you’re on your own?"

He gestured at the family. "We all come from the same place, breathe the same air, share this same planet. But we build walls – between countries, religions, people. We say 'our way is best' and push everyone else away. But your culture, your beliefs… they’re not cages. They’re canvases your inner divinity uses to express itself."

I thought about how divided the world feels these days – politics, race, money, everything pulling us apart. But we’re all made of the same stuff, aren’t we? We all want to be seen, to be loved, to matter.

"Science didn’t 'enlighten' us," he said, refilling his cup at the counter. "It’s just a way for us to uncover the divine wisdom we’ve always carried inside. Every star we discover, every cell we study, every mystery we solve – we’re just remembering what we already know in our souls. Even your memories… are they just the past? Or messages from the divine part of you trying to guide you?"

I went quiet, thinking about my own life – the good times I hold close, the mistakes I can’t shake. What if every memory isn’t just something that happened? What if it’s a piece of the divine puzzle I’m here to put together?

Final Jolt – "You Think You’re Saving the World – But You’re Here to Create It"

As night fell over the city, the coffee shop emptied out. He stared out at the neon lights and traffic below.

"You think you’re special? You are – because the divine lives in every single one of you."

"For centuries we thought we were the center of the universe," he said. "First we thought the sun revolved around us, then we thought we were the only smart species on Earth. People called that arrogance – but it’s actually truth. We’re not just another animal on this planet. Unlike AI, which only does what it’s programmed to do, we can choose, we can love, we can create something from nothing. That’s proof divinity is real – and you carry a piece of it inside you."

His words hit me hard. The world’s full of trouble – climate change, war, sickness. But it’s also full of art, of kindness, of people who build bridges instead of walls. That’s not an accident.

"Chasing happiness isn’t the point," he said softly. "It’s about waking up the divine part of you that is happiness. You think you need money, or success, or love to be happy – but all those things are just ways for your inner divinity to shine through. Truth doesn’t trap you – it sets that light free."

He stood up to leave, and I jumped to ask the question burning in my chest. "So… what do I do now?"

He smiled, pulling his jacket on. "Wipe the paint off that wall in your head. Ask yourself why what you believe feels true to you – not just what someone told you. Is the world controlling you? Or are you using the divine power inside you to help build a better one, together?"

As he walked out into the night, his words echoed in my head:

"Still blaming God for all your troubles?"

Even though humans created the universe, God exists within us.

Nevertheless...
No. God wasn’t out there somewhere, judging me or ignoring me. And God isn’t just an idea – divinity is real, and it lives in every choice I make, every love I give, every dream I dare to chase. AI can learn and calculate, but only we humans can create something that never existed before.

The city lights outside still twinkled the same way they always had. But now I saw them differently. The world hadn’t changed – I’d finally opened my eyes to the divine spark that was there all along.

 

"Divinity isn’t some far-off idea – it’s right here, living inside you."

His voice still rings in my ears. I don’t feel lost anymore. I feel like I’m just getting started – waking up to the part of me that’s been waiting all along to help build something beautiful.
