Note that this is focused on our own internal dialogue, with ourselves, with our mind, so wherever there are references of God, it will still apply to every human being, irrespective of religions and beliefs about God.

Just replace the name of God with the one from your own religion, and if you don’t believe in one, talk with your mind.
