Through 115 short stories, meditations, and dreams, Albert Borgers gently examines the questions that plague us all: Who is truly in charge of my life? How do I fit into the world? What are the experiences in my life adding up to? Every person on this planet has millions of experiences to draw on, from the seemingly insignificant (a young woman visiting her friend on a week's vacation) to the life-changing (a middle-aged man dealing with the aftermath of his father's heart attack). But each is connected, and every experience is an opportunity to better understand ourselves, our connection to one another, and our connection to that which is divine. It is when we are able to look at our experiences without judgment, leaving behind human labels like "right" and "wrong," "good" and "bad," that we can truly see that the people in our lives were and are simply doing the best they can with the resources they have. Then, we must turn this type of understanding inward and know that we are also doing the best that we can with what we have, and that each of our experiences is the direct result of our subconscious desires. In order to better realize this truth, Albert Borgers leads us through a series of experiences from a range of viewpoints that allows the reader to not only see these realities, but to experience them for themselves. By spending some time in another person's shoes-young, old, male, female, black, white-115 pairs of shoes, to be exact, the reader is left with the knowledge that our connections to one another run deep, and that we are constantly creating and co-creating our own existence. The result of this type of mindset is a thanksgiving where every experience is met with gratitude and grace. And the recognition that, as Borgers puts it, "every person who has ever said or done anything that was intended to lead you to believe that you are anything less than totally magnificent has lied to you." Fans of Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, and Richard Bach will delight in this fresh approach to philosophy and spirituality, but unlike traditional texts, What If You Are God? places the reader in the role of main character-and through diverse lenses, immerses the reader in a myriad of experiences. It is only through sympathy, empathy, and understanding for our fellow men that we arrive at a place of commonality, synchronicity, and universal harmony. In the end, a new set of questions emerge, informed by this common sense approach: What if these places called heaven or hell are within us, and happening, right now? What if you are commanding every event, every outcome in your life? What if you are God?
