The Divine within us, rather than the bearded man in the sky

I...find there has been change in my understanding of what/who God is. It's a little hard to articulate. But I think, for me in the beginning there was a tendency to relate to the biblical God...with the beard in the sky. I think that rather than thinking of God as outside us and looking down on us, [God is] the presence of the divine is in all of us.
