Neale Donald Walsch (speaking in a short YouTube clip) presents life as an ongoing creative process through which beings experience and define divinity. He argues that life continually offers moments to consciously recreate ourselves and participate intentionally in the ‘miracle of life,’ so that even brief, regular attention to this process transforms one’s sense of meaning and impact.

There's something quite extraordinary going on here. Most of us don't even know what it is. We don't know what it's about. We don't even know it's happening. But it is happening. Every moment of every minute of every hour of every day, it's happening. It's life happening all around us. And here's what not very many people really, fully and deeply understand, much less appreciate, appreciate. It's happening for a reason. There's a purpose behind it. There's a mechanism in place. There's a process that's being undertaken in life by life itself. And that process is the process by which we, as the livers of this life, as those who are living into the experience, create the experience we are living into as a means of experiencing and expressing who we really are. That life exists in all of its forms. The beauty of the night sky, the wonder of a garden of flowers, the incredible expression of humanity itself. The feeling of love and the glory of a great idea which has just come to someone and exploded within them. An awareness of something that they can't even name, but they can feel. Ah, they say, that's me. Even as they see the night sky, they see a part of themselves there. There's a way to relate. Even as they see the flowers in the beautiful garden, they can see themselves there. There's something of beauty in me too. And look at this. I'm merely looking at myself in another form. And even as we look at other people, we can relate. And we say, there I go. Being human, being wonderful, being glorious, being divine. There's something quite extraordinary going on here. It's a process not only by which we experience ourselves as divine, but by which we define what divinity is to us. Can you imagine a process like this? We're actually creating God through the process of being God as we are choosing to create it. That's what's happening. That's what's going on. That's the miracle of life itself flowing through you, in you, as you. And once you understand what's going on, the purpose of all of it, the divine process, you take part in it in a brand new way. Not unconsciously, but consciously, not unintentionally, but intentionally, not accidentally, but on purpose. And you see every golden moment of now as an opportunity to recreate yourself anew in the next grandest version of the greatest vision you ever held about who you are. And if you do that only for a short time, for an hour a day, an hour a week, an hour, a month, your whole life will suddenly make sense to you. And you will touch the world in a way. Brings sense to the world. That's how life itself changes and becomes the miracle it was intended to be. When you decide to be the miracle you were intended to be, so be it being divine, Sam.
