God. Many religions anthropomorphize god. He is not some man like us. No. He is something beyond existence and non-existence, a pure soul beyond the mind and beyond space and time. He is truly real, as opposed to us, who are real but not truly. Because god is truth. "So he's a soul among souls?" No. He is a soul, but this soul is something that can not be fathomed. His attributes are eternity, unchanging, omniscient, and many more. Omnipresent? How can he be present inside of existence if he's beyond space and time and created it and is beyond it in essence? He can't. But he's present mentally. If you acquire enough spiritual insight you can feel his presence with your mind or third eye. He's real. Truly real. He does everything, he moves everything, he is in everything but not physically. Spiritually. If I say he's Omnipresent, I mean that not physically, but spiritually. He is deep inside the secret heart within a cave. He breathes, and his breath is consciousness or spirit.

Question for anyone who believes in knowing god and/or knowing themselves. How do I do it?

Hello friends. I am a spiritually adept seeker. I have uncovered immense truth about reality that I would like to share with you. Ask me about spirituality or related subjects, I will answer with honesty and truthfulness, as much as I have acquired.

God has shown his face to those that sought him. God does not reveal himself to anyone except if he seeks him. If someone seeks god with a good heart and truthfully, then he can find him. The rising of the sun and the traveling of the moon, all nature shows the essence of god inside of it. Trees worship god, mountains, rivers. Everything in this universe worships him. God has a sweet fragrance, a loving nature, a spiritual holiness and deep auspiciousness. When we journey towards god, we find that the closer we get, the more love we feel. The more compassion. We see god in ourselves, in others, everywhere. Because he is there in truth. He is ever close to us though we may not perceive him. We do not notice the presence of god, but he's here. Crying and lamenting before god, he hears our prayers and cries, and comforts us with his undying love. Ever present with him, this love, he guides us to green pastures with milk-yielding cows and let's us enter into his gardens of delight. When we have found god, nothing can stop us from feeling ultimate bliss in this very life as well as in the eternity beyond. Good hearts are happy and rejoice in the Lord. Peace.

I have deeply studied and contemplated many different views about the nature of god. After so much research, work, contemplation, and so on, I have to say the Islamic conception of god makes absolutely the most sense. Some will seethe at this, but it has to be said.

Dude. If any of the really big religions is true I'm going to hell in every case and reality would be absolutely horrible. Literally dude. So. You say spirituality is the truth right? Not religion? But define that. 'What is' spirituality? And can you be a spiritual man and religious? At least somewhat? Enlighten me friends.

The more I read about god the more I seem to understand that language fails to capture the eternal, and only silence, utter silence, can perfectly describe him.

I believe in god, as a spirit who sees and hears and knows everything. And I believe there is a spiritual illumination of the mind and heart which comes with extreme amounts of deep inner bliss and serenity. I have become steadily happier through meditation, and have been immensely happy when I used to be able to achieve trance states during meditation. I lost the ability to enter trance, but once I regain it, I will again feel that deep tranquility together with the possibility of achieving awakening from the dream of physical existence. The people who say only the physical exists are insane. The people who do not, have some sense. I believe god is ever present although he is beyond time and space. He is not here or there but within the heart shines through. I used to contemplate the idea that everyone is god. I do not believe this is true. I have contemplated it, and I have then rejected it. It is false. God can be known with the heart, but never seen, or heard, or comprehended by the intellect or the mind, for he is hidden from the senses and the mind. Silence is the language of god. When we are silent, we speak his language. When we speak, our words move through the mind but do not grasp the ultimate. Only through silence can he be known. Everyone who tries to grasp him through intellectual or reasoning abilities ultimately fails. Not even meditation can uncover him, however deep it may be. Only when we feel a deepest longing for him can we truly discover him. When we do, he smiles at us, and showers us with his divine mercy and peace. True peace comes from god. Other things may give some bliss, but ultimate bliss has only god as it's source. Worship, veneration, and the like, is appropriate to god only.

God is hidden. He's a spirit. Finding god is the highest goal of all spiritual endeavors. Unity with god is impossible, however there is a deep connection between the soul and god. The soul is the mirror that reflects the truth of god. Deep within, we can perceive god shining through the aeons of eternity. There is the sacred flame of knowledge and wisdom. It is present in the mind. Righteousness is the gateway to truth. But righteousness without knowledge is blind. Thus the two must go together. Love is likewise meaningless without knowledge. Seeking and finding knowledge, we will find utmost love for others inside of us, bursting out. Before I meditated, I was regular, like everyone. But once I achieved samadhi, I started to see pure love and it affected me. But that was just the beginning of my road. There is a hidden wisdom, found when one desires truth with absolute purity and zeal. That wisdom is the truth, unchanging in eternity. Truth is god, but truth isn't just a spirit who sees and hears and knows. He is so much more. Few can find god, because few have strong enough desire for god. May the world be filled with peace.
