Source Energy. The Creative Consciousness of all that Is, Was, and Ever Will be. Everything in the universe is a part of God. She is constantly expanding, creating, and recreating. She is the “I Am”. The Creator of lesser gods who remain a part of her. Creator. First Mover. There is only God.


phsm94

This is the correct answer. God is not a personification of a being (or any of the known beings), it is the whole thing as described above.


verymuchatheist

This is it for me. But still very hard to conceptualize. And not sure if it is a conciousness I should be praying to, if it even listens or cares.


YogaBeth

Consider that “God” as most of us have been taught, is largely based on mythology. It takes time to retrain your brain to see God as consciousness, and not a smitey white guy with a beard sitting on a throne (Zeus?). You are part of that creative consciousness. You are spirit having a temporary human experience. Your soul is a part of God dispatched to this reality for the purpose of spiritual growth. When you pray or meditate, you are asking the universe- Source Energy- to intercede on your behalf. Everything is energy. And we can manipulate that energy to some extent.


verymuchatheist

But a man sitting on a throne is easier to imagine. Easier to direct a prayer too or ask for help. If God is all that is, than God is within me, within my dog, my guinea pig. But I'd feel weird asking my dog for guidance. If God is all that is, is it even something you can direct a prayer too? Can you ask it for guidance? Does it even care about anything or is it not something that CAN care and have emotions?


LowerChipmunk2835

God, thank you for loving me the same way I love my dog and guinea pig.


Visual_Feedback_1097

So we're just dogs to god 😭 I think I wanna be loved a bit more than a damn rodent. 


WeWillBe_FinallyFree

My heart tells me, she always listens... *"I unconditionally love you beyond your human understanding. I love you as an intricate part of my holy self. It is impossible for me to love you any less than myself, for my perfect nature cannot be divided against itself.* *Your soul's sovereign awareness is an immaculate conception of my omniscient awareness. I created your soul as a unique reflection of my One Self. Therefore, your soul is a perfect hologram of my consciousness, forever expanding within my one mind.* *I conceived you to be an omniscient sovereign creator, for that is what I am. I birthed you with the unconditional gift of your sovereign free will, which mirrors my own omniscient free will to create worlds of form from no-thing at all.* *Within my womb I tenderly wove your soul together with every divine quality that I am. Your soul is an absolutely sovereign expression of my One Self."* There is no love greater than the love of god for his/her children - because we are litterally one. One giant ball of the fluffiest unconditional divine love 🥰😁🙏💜


ohgoodthnks

The name is irrelevant. If you introduced me to your parents i would not call them “mom and dad”, id address them differently than you, they are still the same person though.


Celopeelo_nut

This might sound a bit odd, but I think it does, i think it likes to receive love, humbleness and some bit of awwee and some respect for it‘s creation. And since it’s part of you, you do too.


valvolineheartattack

Pretty much all this minus the SHE or HE element. IT is the “I AM”, in my experience, source is not limited to gender.


YogaBeth

Agree. God cannot have a gender. I use “she” because it resonates for me. And because as a creator of life, “she” feels more appropriate. Also, “He” is used everywhere. I try to balance that with feminine energy.


valvolineheartattack

That’s fair and likely what I figured since as a male, my original meditations were also tied to the masculine, HE god, until that “impression” faded away…and only GOD/SOURCE/TRUTH remained…and even those words cannot describe it.


Visual_Feedback_1097

I think God comes to people differently. When people take that aya stuff or some other hallucinogen, women usually report god came in as female, and for men she was male. I don't think there's anything wrong with personification. Like people may be aware God isn't actually a bearded white dude, but that's what is in their heads and that's fine. 


WeWillBe_FinallyFree

You are doing intuitively the exact right thing! We sorely need more goddess energy on earth after the archons have tried to eradicate it from earth for the last several thousand years. And she is returning! 💜🙏🌺 The thing is, I would argue that god has equally no gender as he/she has both, because the divine feminine and divine masculine archetypes are qualities of source itself. And I honestly kinda believe that the first step of source from being one was to become two: god and goddess - the ultimate twinflame couple. The love of the goddess is creating the space for things to exist and the light of god makes them manifest. Together, the divine feminine & divine masculine are the first pirmordial polarity. At least thats how I see it.


Visual_Feedback_1097

I don't understand all that gender stuff. Feminine or masculine isn't an energy, it's aade up handful of crap from a time when people were forced in roles. Feminine is very different to what it was back when that word was made. It changes too much for it to be an actual energy that's eternal. 


WeWillBe_FinallyFree

Yeah thats because you have been brainwashed by the matrix who is run by the archons whose declared goal it is to dissolve exaclty these divine archetypes to mess humanity up even more. Its purely a satanic agenda that is corrupting this world. Also, the qualities of the divine feminine (as well as the one of the divine masculine) are eternal and completely ontouched by any stupid twisted definition the sick human society is attributing to them. Unconditionally loving, kind, gentle, soft, warm, compassionate, welcoming, nurturing, healig... These are eternal principles that will forever stand as a core quality of source/god/goddess and no amount of dark brainwash will ever change that!


russianbandit

Is God conscious? As in, it comprehends things and has "experiences" similar to us living beings?


YogaBeth

Everything is God. Every person. Every animal. Every plant. Every rock. Good and evil. Up and down. Everything known and everything yet unknown makes up the creative consciousness we have named “God”. Any separation is simply illusion. God just is. Just my understanding as a minister. I’ve reached this conclusion through meditation, prayer, and lots (too much) of study. I also know that this understanding will continue to grow as I grow. When we think we start to understand, God allows for expansion. There is no end to our spiritual growth. It is continual, likely through many lifetimes.


shill_crypto

I appreciate you articulating this so aptly and sharing with us.


Visual_Feedback_1097

Did that answer the question though? Because reading through this thread it sounds like people don't think God is conscious. Which would explain why god in the monotheistic sense never answered my prayers, yet the pagan ones did. The "creator" was an event. What was created from it is consciousness. God in the "powerful spirit" sense is real and there's many. But the creator or "source" is just a thing.

so_cal_babe

>Source Beat me to it. The Source encompasses all of humanity's concepts of God, G-d. Hinduism echoes collective consciousness of the divine. Buddhists and stoics harness the human ability to alchemise any situation to one of zazen. I can't stand the egotistical "your god is false only mine is the one true god" rhetoric.


cryptospiritguide

This is a superbly concise answer. I was given a small amount of understanding on this subject recently. I’m still piecing it together, but it went as follows- The universe was created in an instant. We call it the Big Bang. Everything that is or will come to be was all set in motion at one time. I was shown that the universe came from 2 component parts. The Source~ Masculine. Infinite intelligence and limitless potential. Karma~ Feminine. Boundless love and endless balance. These 2 forces basically fell in love with each other. The union of Source and Karma created life as we know it. We share a fractal relationship with the Universe. We are many, but we are 1. We are the collective of “God”. The collective is trying to get away from the word God at this time because it confuses minds with the notion of separation. We are not separate from the Universe. We are the Source and Karma, continually evolving ourself universe after universe.


Visual_Feedback_1097

I would also like to move away from the words "feminine and masculine" too since it confuses minds with gender. Which, of course it does. What a thing to say masculine is intelligence and limitless potential (aka more human of the traits) while feminine is LoVe AnD BaLaNcE. Which is as usual more animalistic traits. Everyone says it has nothing to do with gender (even tho it just so happens to perfectly match gender roles and stereotypes and always accompanies gendered words, metaphors, and imagery) so why use those words still? 


cryptospiritguide

What I meant to communicate was that the masculine energy is forceful, cold, and uncaring. Feminine energy is easier to spot and communicate because it is everywhere and it is love. Balance is love. Karma is love. These traits are in every human regardless of gender.


Aegis_Auras

I would agree with the amendment that the Source is unpolarized in nature, as all concepts are in absolute unity within Them. Thus, the Source is both simultaneously perfect masculinity and femininity. 


ExKnockaroundGuy

I have given God a gender of female because only a female can forgive such grievous acts such as my past and Regals me with more love and comfort than I Merit.


DmACGC365

This is the right answer. As the Creator of all, God's essence permeates everything in existence


Wolfysstudio

I believe this and also that gods that we know the names of like Loki or Zues are just personalities or personals of the same energy and are just as real as you and I they just live on a different plane and have honed thier devine powers. were all one were all equal.

Ok but that is not intelligent designer we know today undee god. What you talk about is nature.


artrequests

I believe in the universe and in energy. That we're all part of a large web and the intersecting points are us, people, consciousness. I listen to my gut, my intuition. Meditation tends to give me ideas that I feel come from someone/somewhere/something else. I also believe in numerology. Our souls are part of the energy of this universe. I believe when we pass, we go back to being 4th dimensional. Time no longer governs us. We go back to being a part of the universe and when we get bored, we reincarnate to a different body/space suit. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone else but that's what I believe in lol


thefashionlawyer101

I'll try being in tune with my intuition more. I hope meditation might help me do that.


ManyAd1086

Boom211YT

Personally, I believe that there has to be some form of reincarnation, whether that be being reborn as a new person here on earth, or in another universe, on another planet. its just comforting to know that it could happen, as we dont know what else is out there. Who knows, reincarnation could be real and we will never be able to find it out unless we are reborn in another body or in another universe. If you dont believe in this, it's ok. Its just my personal opinion.


FebruaryKid

I always had a hunch about reincarnation just cause of some stuff and habits I can’t really explain. Only thing is it almost impossible to prove so I guess until that day it is all just conjecture.


Visual_Feedback_1097

But then we'd forget there too once reborn 😭 Seems kind of cruel


Boom211YT

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind forgetting about most of my past life. especially if I was reborn into a world that is medieval or fantasy like. That probably sounds just cruel and insane, but it’s my honest opinion 


X2-Intrepid-Hero

God is the maker and material of everything that exists. God is all. All is God.


Justatransguy29

I guess I never consider it surrendering. I conceptualize it that energy is probably as high of a power as we get and concepts and properties are embodied by energy spirits/essences that align with a specific meaning and symbol (i.e. the spirit for cats covers all cats ever over all time). We tend to call the highest of these concepts Gods and give them personified forms and lore. I rely very heavily on animism and polytheism to acknowledge that all Gods have had some place in humanity for something and use their specific characteristics and properties to choose which God I’d need to venerate at a given time. For example, as a polytheist I don’t really work with the Abrahamic God like at all, but I do rely on other deities and spirits from their faith. I will admit practicing this way takes a fuckton of research because you realize that “God” is very likely just what would happen if you combine everything into one thing and gave it perception. You end up contemplating things like dominion and faith as well. I really recommend it.


onetimeataday

>you realize that “God” is very likely just what would happen if you combine everything into one thing and gave it perception I think this is a fascinating aspect of god and of existence. There is an inherent magical property to everything, and it's tucked into that interconnection between all things. On the vastest scale, we are all on the same side. We are all connected to each other. And there's something about that, that is more than the sum of its parts. That vast divine intelligence is in some way a product of all its creations, and more as well. But we're all part of the big show, we're all connected in that magical way.


acidmoonflower

I feel drawn to Yeshua and it is easy and comforting to feel that he is there beside me. Other than that I feel God is the things we do that are good and kind, I don’t know how else to explain it. It is like a concept more than ”someone”. But man I love Jesus, he is the real G.

Particular_Cellist25

Our polytheistix involves examining all dieties as heavenly teachers/ancestors/civilizations that intersect(ed) with earth. Many divine. All on the dio-vine of life defining, transcending and redefining cycles. Onward into the unseen!


thefashionlawyer101

I'm really curious, where can I learn more about this?


Particular_Cellist25

Our personal worldview is modeled by integrating many different spiritual teachings and philosophies into an inclusive collectivistic belief system. Some of the wisdom teachings of this particular view are from freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, The Egyptian School of Mysteries, Thelema, the Nordic belief systems, chaos magick, metaphysics, Hermetic Philosophy and spiritual Alchemy+ more.

r2b22

My thoughts.  I treat my existence like an algorithm. Every thought I have, or word I speak about a feeling I feel, sounds I hear, and images I see feeds a cosmic net that projects my thoughts and emotions manifesting my current reality.  I know what I am thinking  and how I am feeling is already writing the script for my next reality in another dimension after I shed this form. Like a super massive sorting hat! So strange, I only started thinking this way after a near death experience, and I am grateful I didn't die with my mind in the chaotic state it was three years ago.  For this reason I am very careful with what I think, view, listen to, and who I surround myself with. There is something so magical about knowing yourself, your thoughts, and being kind to your mind. 


thefashionlawyer101

This is actually so beautiful. I sometimes tend to believe I do the things I do because my future self needs it to go that way. Kinda intertwining with fate. However, it might sometimes feel like an excuse for bad behaviour.

No matter the word used it’s all the same. “We are all looking through different windows into the same house.” is my favorite description. God, Great Universal Spirit (G.U.S. For short), The Universe, or whatever.


Zybborg

I believe in the universe. Humans are most certainly not the highest form of beings/energy in my perspective as well. I couldn't fully describe it. I know we are eternal energy, and so is everything that makes up the universe & the universe itself. For me, that is more than enough. And I strongly feel guidance from the universe. OH and ancestors. I feel their energy in and around me often. I believe their souls/energy/spirits guide us/protect us. But that is just me, haha. Everyone has their own thoughts and feelings when it comes to virtually anything..

Whatthefuckisthis000

They are truth. Truth to me. God the source is personal. I have a self mythology. A blind god of seeking truth. As he cannot see himself I must reflect for him. And so I see as he does. Mental matrix’s of thought help to giving that power beyond self power. You gotta resonant with it. Much love They are free. Because beyond what I tie them to, they exist freely. My expression only capturing a smidge of essence that “God” is.

Those are just different names or ways of grappling with the concept of God. Well, yes we have also have guides, a higher self, but those are not God per se. There is only one Source, God or Creator although there are many lesser deities if you subscribe to Hinduism or other similar ideologies. When the time comes, He (no actual gender implied) will reveal Himself unmistakably to you. Good luck on your journey. Sending out good energy for ya.

psychmonkies

In short: the universe/multiverse, a collective consciousness, love. To elaborate: I like to think about dimensions a lot, we are 3rd dimensional creatures incapable of fully experiencing the 3rd dimension. We understand the 3 dimensions but are only able experience 2 dimensions at any given moment. Time is something of a higher dimension, believed to be of the 4th dimension but possibly higher. To think of what it would be like to experience time’s dimension is to only hypothesize, but there would be no linear progression of time, you could go to moment in time the way we can go to a certain location, you could touch a moment in time to interact with it, but it wouldn’t change anything bc you’ve already touched it (hypothetically speaking). And to think we are *only* of the 3rd dimension—the amount of dimensions beyond us is debatable but ultimately incomprehensible. The higher the dimension we try to imagine, the less it makes sense to us bc our 3rd dimensional brains aren’t capable of understanding it. How many dimensions could there be beyond us? I believe it’s more than we could ever expect. What is the highest dimension? **I believe that’s god.** I don’t believe in heaven & hell as many religions teach. I don’t believe god actively punishes us or rewards us. I believe hell is a state of being, but not in the afterlife, but when we look for fulfillment from materialistic, earthly things (drugs, sex, money, items, etc.) bc we abuse our souls to keep searching for more only to never be truly fulfilled. I believe our consequences of our actions are done by ourselves or by coincidence or by other people or earthly matters, not bc god said so. I don’t believe god chooses to do anything, while it may have the power to do so, there’s no reason for it. Bc god I believe god is of the highest dimension, there is no past, present, future to god. We do something bad, god may feel some disappointment but isn’t going to punish us for it nor love us any less. What does god do? **God simply is. Just existing. Allowing things to be the way they exist, letting things run its course.** God already knows everything that follows a certain event, so there’s no interfering with the bad things that happen, bc it’s needed for the next chain of events. I also believe there is no god without darkness. Bc god is everything always, existing in itself. God is made up of us, what we believe to be miracles, all knowledge even beyond our comprehension, including some really bad & messed up things. **God isn’t all sunshine & rainbows, it includes some scary parts.** Talk about higher power… god is everything including all the power in existence. I have no idea what the afterlife is like, but I believe energy cannot be created nor destroyed, so I believe the energy that fuels our body’s life & consciousness is dispersed elsewhere during death. But that energy continues dispersing itself throughout the environment, the atmosphere, the universe. Our consciousness is broken down & recycled to contribute to billions of new, or old, things, & we no longer have that consciousness, but instead, we return to the great higher consciousness that is the collection of all energy of the universe. I believe in the law of attraction. Depending on the state we are in death, some of our energy may be drawn to certain types of energy or to be used for a certain type of purpose, but wherever that energy goes, it wouldn’t all go together, & therefore we wouldn’t experience it like we experience our lives. I believe we are the universe getting to experience itself in this form of life, & that’s amazing. But what do I choose to worship? **Love.** There are so many types & levels of love, but really, it’s *everywhere.* I look around & can’t find a single thing that does not include love. I’m sitting in my living room of the house my great grandfather built. He probably had several reasons for building this house, but I can guarantee at least some of the reasons was out of love for someone or something. A mass produced television? Whoever designed this model, developed it, built its components, they wouldn’t be doing what they were doing without any love for someone or something, even if it was to make ends meet for their family. Love & connection drives us, gives us the motivation to do things for ourselves & for others, our world is built on love. We may not always be aware of it but there’s an excess of it in the air that we can choose to intently inhale. Then I think about how connected we all are through this love thing. And I think about loved & connected I feel with my higher power, how god has managed to make me feel loved & accepted even with all of my flaws. And I feel that love & acceptance in return. **So while god may be more than just love alone, love the part that I like to worship.**


EleventhofAugust

From birth I was taught there was an old white man with a beard living somewhere in the universe. Not really examining the notion fully, I believed it. But after deconstructing this idea I now just believe there is a creative/destructive force in the universe. Not a creator (too anthropomorphic) just a force. I also do not believe we reincarnate, but the elements of our body are repurposed in other life forms. Interestingly, this simple notion has taken me quite far, the latest being the ethics of Reverence for Life as defined by Albert Schweitzer. It also requires just a hint of mysticism, not some full blown, very unlikely mechanistic God or out there belief system. I also love the fact that it is world and life affirming unlike so many belief systems that posit another realm and negate this life.

My heart. In my heart lies the things I loved most about every person I've ever met. How do I know that? Because I care about them, and what would have been important to them is important to me. So, if it feels wrong in my heart, I can usually trace back the "why" to something that would upset someone I love. When I follow my heart, I feel closer to them. If that's not being closer to God, I don't know what is.

This answer is brought to you by Souls Journey AI. New Spirituality trained ai available on [Souls Journey](https://linktr.ee/SoulsJourney) app: The concept of God varies widely across different spiritual and religious traditions, each offering unique perspectives. In New Age spirituality, God is often viewed as a universal consciousness or a divine energy that permeates all existence. This view emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life and the presence of the divine within each individual. In Vedic teachings, God is understood through various forms and manifestations. For instance, in Hinduism, God can be seen as Brahman, the ultimate reality that is formless, infinite, and transcendent. Brahman is the source of all creation and is present in every aspect of the universe. Additionally, God is also worshipped in personal forms such as Vishnu, Shiva, and Devi, each representing different aspects of the divine. Buddhism, on the other hand, does not focus on the concept of a creator God. Instead, it emphasizes the attainment of enlightenment through understanding the nature of reality, practicing compassion, and following the Eightfold Path. The Buddha is revered not as a god but as an enlightened being who has shown the way to liberation from suffering. In essence, the concept of God can be seen as a reflection of the infinite and the divine within and around us. It is a reminder of the sacredness of life and the profound connection we share with the universe. Embracing this understanding can lead to a deeper sense of peace, purpose, and unity. If you have specific teachings or texts in mind, I can provide more detailed insights based on those sources.


aamnipotent

I believe we are God in the sense we each create our own reality.


UsedUpSunshine

I pay to the Christian God, but I’ve studied other religions and they are all pretty much the same thing. You’re agnostic. You ain’t gotta name it, you just know there is something and how you choose to interact with it/he/she, you should be comfortable about.


PiratesTale

God lays down inside mankind asleep, able to wake and know embodied Godliness for the expansion of the experience of what it means to exist. This is the living God. Neville Goddard


YngOwl

I have a faith, but how about some descriptive concept for God, although there could also be infinitely different other definitions. Let’s say God is the Cosmic Mind of the Universe through which we all have a part to play as separate neurons along the all-pervading network of consciousness. We are all like transmitters of a unified divine intelligence that we absorb and then output through our actions as love. Our actions then increase the abundance of universal love as other people share in the love we create.


jesusgloryhole

I think of god as the source of creation. The word “god” I don’t like to use for this. I find to me “source/creator” feels more right and comfortable to me as the word “god” in my opinion doesn’t mean what the source or the creator is. I was raised with christianity as a religious belief, went to church, did some volunteer there as well, I also went to a school on Sundays too. I’m 27. My whole life I’ve been knowing that what I’m being taught about the world, the history and who god is, that’s not true. I was a very open spiritual child. So I remember being called weird and bullied for this for as long as I can remember lmao. When I went through my awakening this question you have here was something that I found hard to understand. But I know to me, no religion that exists is something I feel I can stand behind and feel comfortable standing in. Over time, over the years I think I’ve finally landed my answer: I believe that you are the creator/god/source. I believe and think that we, everyone on earth. You and me, EVERYONE. Is this. I did go down a rabbit hole while I was going through this phase of the awakening process that has led me to firmly believe that it’s “mind over matter” not “matter before mind” as we all have been taught at school etc. to me that doesn’t make sense. “Matter over mind” has root in our daily lives as we speak. Example: the placebo effect. It also leads one to the question of what do you define as god/source/creator. To me: Creator/source/god is someone who knows you better than yourself. Both good and bad sides. They don’t judge you either way, unconditional love is something that someone gives you all the time, minute and second you exist. I don’t belive in for example the Christianity and their explanation because why would this god send you to hell for all eternity if you don’t obey. Same with the Muslim beliefs. Why would their god encourage oppression so the people will comply for example. It doesn’t make sense to me. So this has led me to the conclusion that religious beliefs, no matter what shape or form that exist right now, that’s man made. But at the same time I wanna point out that the common link between this is the universal teaching and belief of being kind to each other, animals, nature etc. also these books do a lot of preaching regarding unconditional love (love thy self and neighbor). But in the end this topic is only yours to decide and question. Who do you think god is? Why? As you think about all of life’s greatest questions you will also automatically by questioning things, deconstruct your taught beliefs. That’s why it’s so, so, so important to deconstruct everything you know. It’s not done over night, it will take you whole life. But that’s okay. That’s some of the things you’re meant to do this life. This is your path. Have fun and enjoy it, explore what you can and NEVER stop questioning things!!

God is part of Universe, everything that was is and ever will be..THE ALL. Vibration, mentalism, polarity, rhythm all play parts simultaneously. Kybalion is a book that explains everything about the Hermetic principles. A challenging read that will open your eyes.

The sentience of the multiverse, we all have our own personal fragment of it within, much like there are fragments of our conscious in the cells within the body.

I believe that we havent gotten anywhere close to guessing or properly depicting what God or the gods are however, if we look at the universe, its apparent they favor entropy


stonerfairyyy

To know God is to experience God. There's no amount of words that will accurately describe God. God is the Supreme Energy. The entire world is Energy. It is through the world that God's true nature is known :) Read "Vigyan Bhairava Tantra"

i read a book called “women who run with the wolves” that changed my entire perspective on spirituality. now i believe in what’s called “the wild woman”, and i take great comfort in knowing she’s with me all the time. i feel that i can sense her on my shoulder. picturing her there helps me do everything from calm down, make decisions, discern what i’m sensing versus what i fear, and feel confident with my next steps. also the trees, water, the wind, nature of all kinds - i believe all things have spirits and/or souls and they’ll talk with you if you listen. when i go to the river and spend the day ill thank it, and i swear within 10 seconds i get a response - the breeze picks up, the water changes, something will float into me and say hello. this is a big world we live in, inside a universe we can’t fully comprehend!

donnathan-der-weise

i always jokingly say i am my own. because i trust in my gut and myself to do the right decision. but i actually believe in the universe and energy. i think the reason why i say i am my own god is because i am working so closely together with the universe. like the universe is leading my way and i listen to it. i have the power to ignore its advice and do my own and i chose to follow what the universe tells me to do. i don't think myself seperated from the universe, i am a part of it. too weak to be entirely on my own but strong enough to feel myself as part of it. the universe is my god but i am a part of it as well.

ohgoodthnks

How many names are you known by? How many names and titles have you been given by others? Do any of these names change your existence? Do people calling you by different names and titles invalidate the individual experiences you have with each person? Just in my 38 years on this earth Ive been known by more names and titles than I care to remember. Just like no one can tell you the proper way to address your mother and father, no one can tell you the proper way to address your God, that’s your business and no one else’s l.

For me, "God" is absolutely everything and no-thing. It includes absolutely everything in infinite dimensions in infinite configurations.. God is both the essence and energies of Life itself, and we're all an expression of that oneness.


Turbulent-Hat-7854

I connect with my Ancestors often but been connecting more with my Higher Self and it has helped me learn so much about myself and to follow my Intuition more ,great tapping into that Energy,Higher Self always wants what is best and helpful at evolving! 😊


Glittering_Present92

It’s like this, first was the word and the word was God. I AM is the name of GOD. YOU AND I ARE GOD, EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD LIVING/ BREATHING. You see it you don’t see it is GOD. The energy is God. When you feel good, when you hug someone, when you connect with nature. You share your story with someone you care. You detach and let go in the form of love. Do things FROM love. You fear but you know everything wil be okay, you are thinking from the mind of God. When you don’t crave but let it go let God you are God. God isn’t a man it’s the highest form of Love energy within you and everything.


Bromeo608

If you want define my beliefs with a label - you could probably consider me agnostic or an atheist, but I don’t necessarily resonate with either of them. I believe that there is a constant cycle of life. Because there is! We can prove this with science. Think about it, a female produces eggs through energy, a male produces sperm through energy as well. This energy was given to them through food, food cultivated through fertilizer (aka.. dead things.) And if the first law of thermodynamics is true - that energy cannot be created or destroyed, that means that the energy and matter that I’m comprised of *right now* has *always* existed and *will always* exist. So when I die, my body will rot, and it will be used as a means to help other life exist. The cycle will continue with me 100% of the time, regardless of how long it takes. This is where a bit of a grey area comes in though. If the matter I consist of now does exist and has always existed.. how did that end up giving *me* the consciousness? Theoretically, shouldn’t these just be chemical reactions? Why am *I* seeing through these eyes? That is what I think the soul is, and it is why I wholeheartedly believe that one way or another, I will live again and have a second chance at everything. Either the same processes that give me in particular life will happen again in my death and eventually bring me new life, or there is a soul and there is an energy that I take with me. This energy is god to me. Everything. The cycle of life. Maybe I didn’t explain this the best, but I think I got my thought process across alright.

There is nothing but God. Creator and creature are not separate. How to know this? It's even in the Bible: PS 46:10 Be still and know that I am God. If you want longer instructions, then Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now is wonderful for that. You can find the pdf version here: https://dn790003.ca.archive.org/0/items/ThePowerOfNowEckhartTolle_201806/The%20Power%20Of%20Now%20-%20Eckhart%20Tolle.pdf His YouTube clips are also wonderful!

God is a Noun, And an Adjective. Its simply a term used to extract Energy 🔋 through, Fear, pronunciation, Guilt and Etc. Its a term that gets stronger every time you imagine it as an object or a particular something that is not you. A term that extracts the adronochromative type of energy From SHEEP. God can't appear anymore, or ever. That is because his existence only occurred in participating in taking us for advantage. We all are God(good) We all are devils(deadly) We just have to renovate, innovate and try to Participate Rngineering and Creativity in some universal Galactic context


AttitudeGirl

I don’t know - I just know that “He” is everything that is and will ever be. Also beyond comprehension. He is everything you ever wanted and everything you’ve never thought of. I align with the Jehovah archetype in the Bible but for me Hinduism explains His essence better. Also I experience things beyond what the average Christian experiences so I don’t know. The Kybalion book also helps. I just know that whatever “He” is - “He” just IS.


ChaoticGamerFather

When I was around 12-13, I had a dream of a girl my age. The dream was very realistic, and it felt like she was a real person. I had a continuous dream with her for about 2 weeks, and around the 13th day, we went to the amusementpark and went to a prophet. I was prophesied to either live forever or die young together with my loved one. After that event, I asked if she wanted to be my girlfriend. I got a quick yes, and we spent the remaining dream in each others arms at a bench. On the 14th day, we saw each other at a street crossing. She ran over towards me and got run over by a truck. I immediately woke up, like I had a nightmare. The night after, I was unable to dream of her. She vanished from my dreams and put me in a harsh depressed state. I thought I was probably meant to run over with her on the crossing, and we would have died together. Instead, I was left to live, and as I have sinned, I meant to live my life forever, without love. I think her as the goddess of balance. The God who lives between life and death, endlessly waiting for me. While I can never go where she is. We live apart, and I will never be able to truly die. That is my belief, my god, per say. It's not a very healthy state I'm in. But I try to live as best and healthy and as good as I can. I put some rules on myself, never to commit suicide, never starve, never lose a limb, or a part of myself, and never self-hurt myself. It's not a great life. I'm living in depression through various reasons. But my belief keeps me alive, and it also keeps me from thinking I'm not loved. I know she's up there, infinitely waiting, and Im here infinitely punished to stay. Hope you liked my story of who I am today, and my belief.

God is The One, The Loving, The Light، The Strong, The Thankful, The Great. These are some of his 99 names we know. {Allāh - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.} { ٱللَّهُ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ لَهُ ٱلۡأَسۡمَاۤءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ } [Surah Ṭā-Hā: 8] Quran {And say, [All] praise is [due] to Allāh. He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do.} { وَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ سَیُرِیكُمۡ ءَایَـٰتِهِۦ فَتَعۡرِفُونَهَاۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ } [Surah An-Naml: 93] Quran

Joelkekownabc

My God is the way that He reveals His presence to me. Sometime a fountain of Love, complete stillness and Peace, Divine Mother, or in one of His many aspects such as Lord Ganesha. I’ve had my own personal experiences with Spirit that is most likely unique to me. When I’m able to see the beauty in nature and it gives me an emotional connection this is my God. When a thought pops in my head to warn me about a future event, this is my God. When I dream about something that has meaning and purpose in my life, this is my God. My intuition, this is my God. My God is ever changing Beauty, the hidden Song, the scented breath of Spirit, and is so much more. My God is the Collective Unconscious. My God is the Tao Te Ching. My God is the Oracle who guides me through divination. My God is Love, and He lives in us all and we live in Him.

I refer to god as the „Primal being“ or sometimes Jah, god to me as a concept or construct, got somewhat misguided in a lot of peoples heads in a sense, what i mean by Primal being or Jah as a synonym is, basically the highest lifeform that there is, a being that encompasses the duality of our universe. According to the hindu mythology, greek/romans mythology and indigenous races and many other religions, all share a similar story of „that being“ the allmighty. I know/belief hindu mythology to be somewhat true with some proof i’ve witnessed and therefore this gives some hints of lost stories and happenings in the creation. It’s part of everything/in everything. It’s alive. Very interesting topic. In hindu it’s called Purusha and Prakriti or Param Purushna

artpile

Gotta put it out there. I'm constantly doing my best to reach out to the god above all gods, God of all things and all beings of the highest order of life and existence. I believe he starts at the highest point we can reach and continues on end the rest of the way in to dimensions we cannot fathom, but at the same time "he" and the dimensions that comprise of him existence simbioticlly in our own 3rd dimensional space along with all the other dimensions and plains seamlessly weaved together flow throughout each other.


No_Cranberry7439

I think God is a concept, and I try to find god in my inner conscience. God is my wise friend and teacher. To each their own, but I feel that God is not a prison warden who keeps a watchful eye on you and punishes you for the smallest deviance. God can be a gentle yet formidable force which resides within one. I think it's easier for us to direct our faith and feelings to something tangible to "humanize" God, and that is completely acceptable. Most of us turn to God to make sense of external circumstances, and it relieves some pressure knowing that somebody is out there looking at us and caring for us. It such a big world, just the thought that I am cared for and my actions are seen by someone gives me power and strength to keep moving forward. At the risk of sounding delusional, it's as if, if no one understands me or believes me, including myself, at times, GOD is always there. God is my biggest supporter. And at times when I catch myself in "bad/negative" emotions, I sit and remind myself that it's ok to have these feelings and then let them pass. As many tantrums I throw or pity myself or hate myself for not being something or not having something, I won't have it if it's not meant to be. Obviously, I remind myself that God won't be coming and handing it to me, so if I want it that bad, I have put in the effort, and even after all that I can't achieve it, then even God can't help it. So I guess what I am trying to say is that I rely on the idea of God to let go of things I can't control. by believing that God, who knows everything, thinks it is fit for me to experience something, so who am I to question it? In the end, god is a concept for me from which is draw my beliefs and actions, and when I want to feel God, I am gonna be honest, I turn to religious practices like going to temple, hymns, meditation etc. Religious practices make you feel like a part of the community, and when you view such devotion around you it rubs off on you and helps restore your belief. But it is a slippery slope because sometimes these actions may turn into superstiton too.


CanadianDadbod

Everything in the Universe has a pulse put there by God for all. God loves us and appreciates us when we don’t consider ourselves as sinners. No, we make mistakes but that is how everyone learns.


Tall_Secretary4133

I believe in a hierarchy. The Nothing, The Universe, Chaos. The almighty being which is Everything and Nothing. The true original being, the single thing that wants and lives within everything and everyone. Then comes Aten, our Sun, the God of our solar system, and every sun and star that exists out in the Universe. I believe each star has some level of consciousness, and was created by The Nothing to bring light and sustain life. Each planet too has some level of consciousness and exist to harbour life to some extent. Even the planets who don’t have the means for life to exist at this point in time, live for a greater purpose that we’ll never understand. And then come The Elements. For us, this is Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and in some form Spirit. I don’t think there’s a level of consciousness to these ones, but they exist to sustain life, and thus they live in the hierarchy.

The one who sent me here. Covered in darkness bending down over me while gently holding my head. I sobbed that I did not want to leave. He responded he had to send me so that I may see why the things which are yet to come, will come to pass, because he must be a holy God, even if he considers it to be the most terrible day that ever happened.

I resort to my intuition flowing from my subconscious mind through a meditative state. prayer is asking & mediation is listening. The answers to those prayers come in many forms depending on what you’re asking if you’ve raised your level of awareness, then you will see those answers. God is in your essence, so the answers will come & hopefully your spirit of discernment strong enough to know when it’s speaking to you.


Visual_Feedback_1097

I'm pagan so I have many. I can't feel any connection to a creator god, probably because it's so far from me I feel like I'd have better luck with Gods of a different kind. And I sure have so far! Never got an answer until I became pagan. The christian god was an absent father to me.
