Much to our relief, we discovered we did not need to consider another’s conception of God. Our own conception, however inadequate, was sufficient to make the approach and to effect a contact with Him. As soon as we admitted the possible existence of a Creative Intelligence, a Spirit of the Universe underlying the totality of things, we began to be possessed of a new sense of power and direction, provided we took other simple steps. We found that God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him. To us, the Realm of Spirit is broad, roomy, all inclusive; never exclusive or forbidding to those who earnestly seek. It is open, we believe, to all men.

flyer,one thing i have done in the past and it seemed to help is get a pen and paper
draw a line down the middle of the paper from top to bottom
on the left,list your old conception of God or a higher power (the one which don`t work now)
on the right side,write down what you wish it is today,somewhat suitable to you that you feel comfortable with
tear the paper in half,down the line,from top to bottom,throw the old left side away,and keep the right side.
when you think of the HP,get the paper and use it to help you get your mind focused
hope this helps
