Science of Mind teaches us that god does not require worship and is not even effected by worship. That all thoughts are prayers and all prayers are answered all of the time, for all people, regardless of any merit, or lack there of, of the person or the prayer. That this in fact the nature of god (or if you prefer, the universe) to react to all of our thoughts (prayers) and create automatically (manifest in form) from these thoughts. That this unversal nature is mechanistic in form so far as our thoughts automatically become manifest creations within the universe. A virtual cause (thought) is effect (manifestation).
We are also taught, that we exist entirely within god. That all of what we are is within god. That everything is within god. That all is god and nothing is outside of god. That when we create, we create within god within ourselves.
We are also taught that we have free will, within god. This will being free is wholly ours and is also free from any will of god. That the free will is thus ours alone.
Could free will, if it were truly free of any influence or judgment of god, then be free (outside) of god? Thus separate from god?
That we exist and everything exists entirely within god concept is important elsewhere within this religion. So, this internal/external issue is a key point.
Can we have will free of god and yet be contained completely within god, as god is everything and everywhere?
If we create say disease within our bodies or allow disease to enter our bodies, is the disease then free of our will? Could the disease created by us now within us be still subject to our will?
If our incarnations, will, thoughts and spirits are a kind of mini model of god, yet within god, as we are also taught, what would be the implications for the healthy or diseased parts within us? Would they also be subject to our will or are they free of our will with will of their own?
We are taught that through knowledge of our connection and total immersion in the perfection of and within god, that we can heal all things within us, as god is perfectand we being wholly of and within god, we are similarly perfect.
Yet, how could we heal disease within us if we had allowed it carnation? What about the disease’s will to live?
Doesn’t disease have its own portion of free will (as germs will want to multiply)?
If disease or health is within us and could nurture or consume us, would we not desire that within us to be loving towards us?
If we felt this way, could not god then, having created us within god, desire too that we would be loving towards god?
Could we then through hate or avarice or disregard, consume god as a virus consumes some of us? If this were possible, could we through love of god then nurture god?
Depending on our religions, we are taught among other things that god is love or that god is an angry and vengeful god.
Do we not become diseased when we are angry, or vengeful, or depressed?
Are we not healthy when we are joyous, loving and free?
Is it worship? Is it coincidence? Luck? Or is it just the nature of things that bitter feelings manifest through The Law as sickness just as love and joy manifest the glow of good health?

Does our love for god shape the face of god or only create in matter that which passes while only our eternal spirit endures?
What if any is the karmic price to our spirits for loving or hating god and/or the other spirits within god?
What part if any part of us exists outside of god? Or are we all just mini mirrors of god and of each other, while all within god?
Your piece of the puzzle and yours in peace,
