With the diversity of UU worshipers, I was just wondering what your view of God is and how you worship.

I consider myself to be a Panentheist of sorts. For years, I tried to pick one religious tradition and stick with it, but I just find too much inspiration from many sources to just choose one. Plus, I've been going to a UU church for 3 years anyway, so it's not like I don't know where to go for my pluralistic spirituality fix.
As for worship? Mostly church on Sundays, sometimes meditation, and studying/reading. I also go to a Hindu temple on occasion, as well as a Buddhist temple and Pagan circles.
I worship the highest deity who is God/ Allah/ Yod He Vau He as the greatest attainment of good & evil balance, who is neither male nor female, who is the greatest at creation & destruction. I worship God through my actions and through communing with Ishtar/ Athena, Ereshkigal/ Lilith, Michael/ Mikail, and Iblis/ Lucifer during prayer, meditation, ritual, and adventuring. Michael and Iblis guide the light and dark sides of my masculine nature while Ishtar and Ereshkigal guide the light and dark sides of my feminine nature. I know that our spirit is neither male nor female, for such is an illusion imposed on us by our physical body and world.
I also equate those four gods with the seasons, directions, the elements, etc...
As a Unitarian Bahai, I worship God in very diverse ways, though, I mostly search for God within myself. I will even worship God with people in other houses of worship. Bahaullah says to associate with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship.
Do you also do the fast and daily prayers?
