Why do you folks keep attributing Gods words to my mouth?

I'm just a man, with a message,

Although, I suppose, many prophets before me have been tortured, imprisoned and murdered for giving Gods Messages, so it really shouldn't be a surprise that I am proclaiming the Masters Words and being rejected by people.

Jesus own family accused him of lunacy, and His Message got Him crucified....

I see you with a message, that's all.

My view of a "God" is panentheistic in that god IS the universe and all that is contained in it. My view is similar to us experiencing its dream.
When you dream, are you not the creator of your own universe?
When you dream are you not also a character in it?
Can you always control your dreams, or do they sometimes control themselves?
Do you always care what happens to other characters in your dreams?
Answering these questions has helped me deal with life's little "surprises" and allowed me to reconcile my differences with a somewhat unknowable god.
I also believe in karma and reincarnation, which I believe are not mutually exclusive to this ideology. With reincarnation we grow more independent and resourceful in said dreams (or dreams for all I know). And karma is used to keep the scales balanced and keep the dream moving as to not grow complacent.
But then again, what do I know.
