 If you don't like the word "God" why not do what someone else suggested, "The Great Living One," who can be seen in all creation.  Now you might say, "I see no such thing in creation."  Well, this Living One is not a thing.  It is an energy which cannot be pinpointed as Here or There.  Rather it is a Presence to be caught by the imagination and then the heart.  So the issue is that you might not know how to see, rather than nothing exists.  I have referred to the outdoors as "Nature's Cathedral" put together by the Living One.  If my prayer life is deep enough in meditation I can then go for a walk and see with the imagination, the heart, a world teeming with wonder, new life, something coming from ashes.  The Living One cannot be boxed into a book or a building or a little god-house.  This energy cannot be contained so easily.  These other things are pointers, or places where the Living One can be found but not confined or roped into dogma.  That is never enough for the human heart.
