satjas,
Fall short? You fail to distinguish (as I've said many times before) between the Creator and His creation. Everything comes farom God but that doesn't mean that IT IS (or will be - at one with) GOD. Your quest seems (theoretically) noble; some extreme gnostics (esoterics, ascetics)in Islam often tread on this kind of path and claim that they are on a "higher" quest.

I understand your understanding of God to a certain degree and since you don't believe in any form of "organised religion", you tend to form your own intepretations of the Creator and dismiss others' intperetations based on Divine Scripture. I would never call your ways "the work of the devil" since the devil would never want you even to acknowledge God in the first place. Your quest is very noble and may God show you the way.

There's a gnostics' prayer (which was recited by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH) that I recite sometimes and would recommend it to you which says..."Allahuma ara'ni kullu shay'i kama hiya" - translation - Oh God, show me things as they REALLY are.
