My life is a great adventure, but I always had my own strength and willpower as force, not any of the non-existing gods.

The hero's journey is not a calling. We are born with it. It is embedded in our psyche and manifests in our desire to leave the tribe, to be individuals, to find our own way, to not do what we are told to do.

Well, at least he said the idea of god is actually within you, not some external being or force.

Then that god is dead.

This is agency inference (made worse with theological terminology). Adventure doesn't call to us and there is no invisible being calling us to it. It can feel like a calling, but it is really just our emotional response to what we consider to be compelling about our life experiences.

I resist re-labeling things we have perfectly serviceable words for -- existence, life, joy, the universe, nature -- as "god". Half the time people who do this are using it as a Trojan horse to get buy-in on a generic god-concept and then pivot to their specific god. Other times it is unbelievers trying to explain the concept of "the divine" as something inherent in or emergent from the natural world, but theists will invariably seize upon such notions and reinterpret them to suit their own beliefs.

I would have put this idea forth in this way: "Meaning and purpose are found in life's adventures". It's not as sexy but it's far more accurate.

Force named in various names to control others by force

That's an opinion...

"God is a metaphor by which we measure pain." John Lennon.

That’s pretty cheesy. Why use the word “God”? Is that the same fictional force that impregnated Mary, divided the Red Sea, gives virgins to believers, allegedly answers prayers? But what is it that calls you to your life’s adventure? That’s a good question. I agree it is found by looking within, by listening and observing, opening and letting go. And “adventure” is an interesting choice in words. In my practice it is about opening to the vitality of the moment. The “adventure of your life” is about being present with compassion, curiousity, creativity... moment to moment and grooving on the ride.

See. Why "May the force be with you." Is so appropriate.

"What's God? Well, we can speak about it from an evolutionary psychology perspective: God is the idea of the abstract ideal."
