My spirituality is more or less rooted in gestalt theory, so in my case, what i call god is definitely non-gendered, or more specifically all-gendered. The exact phrase I use is "the all which is nothing and the nothing that is all."
Basically it stems from my beliefs that deity and creation can not exist independently from each other and that they influence and change each other on a continous basis. IMO diety is not a truly separate entity but rather the sum total expression of all existance, animate or inanimate, acting or not acting. Thus tne All which is Nothing. However this Nothing which while nothing in and of itself is expansive enough to encompass everything, and as such constantly influences and recreates the total sum of all existence (ergo, the Nothing which is All.)
In other words I believe there is no separate and true deity. Everything is god, nothing happens in isolation, every choice has a consequence which in some way, large or small, affects all of creation.This is why it is so important to constantly examine one's actions, faiures to act, thoughts and beliefs. I am sure a version of this exists for all things in nature even though it is beyond my comprehension to understand how so. That a seperate "over diety" doesn't exist does not free us from any responsibilities, but rather demands that we work continuously to create the world as we best see fit, since we are/create the "deity" that is/creates us.
Uhm, that is just my view. I do not claim to have answers.
