True. But because you think you are experiencing life doesn't mean you are experiencing God, because the life is also a person, and we all know that the experience of "life" in the LR depersonalizes God. You can talk about God as "life" so much that you lose sight that getting to know life is getting to know a Person. This is the error of many false religions. They reduce God to a force, because dealing with God as a person means dealing with another mind, attitude and preference. It's much more convenient to deal with God as just a force that makes you feel good.
