Glory to God in the highest.  For as long as man has existed he has exalted
the Deity.  It is only as the
consciousness of man expands and rises, that he exalts all that is, seeing in
the good, the bad, and all of creation cause to celebrate. 

All is Consciousness.  Nothing is truly solid.  What is real? 
That which can be perceived through consciousness, therefore all is
real, but not necessarily solid.  What
does this have to do with God and glory? 
Everything, for everything arises from Consciousness, including your (at
times limited) consciousness. 

By praising God you are praising yourself, but do
not let this go to your human head.  You
are but one facet of the great jewel that reflects in all things.  When you can feel gratitude for all things
and all experiences, and wish nothing more than to glorify Life with all of its
ups and downs as an expression of the All, then you are coming closer to understanding
that it is all God.  Any way that you can
perceive this Force, whether as a man in the clouds or the Light that burns within
your chest is reason for praise.
