In your understanding, what is God?

Spirit of Light

Be who ever you want
Religions and spiritual people often speak about God. But what is really God?
Does God or other heavenly beings have an apperance?

So the important thing in my question is this "What in YOUR understanding is a God?"

To me (Amanaki) a God or a Buddha or heavenly being does not have a body (only in lower realm can they take a physical apperance). What we see as god to me is not one being, a God or Buddha or other heavenly beings all are matter of Truthfulness, Compassion and forberance.
Yes I did write matter :) Or energy. Because in my understanding the higher level of wisdom also lead to a less dense apperance, or to the other side. the futher we are from the truth of existance the more dense our apperance become. So since my understanding of human realm is that here we are very far from understanding or seeing the actual truth of how things truly are, we have become dense beings made up of matter and energy. But when we clear out our faults and start to understand truth, and we start to live by the truth, compassion and forberance the closer to truth we become and the futher away from human realm(physical realm) we become.
We going back to our original state of mind, to be of energy, so it means we would be able to be anywhere at any time.

This is only my current understanding. So it can be far away from what actually is the truth. But I am still on the ride of learning and understanding higher form of truth. (levels of wisdom and understanding)

As a christian child i saw god as a rather jolly, portly guy, looking rather like Santa but dressed in white and gold, with no silly hat. He always reclined in an uncomfortable looking golden throne that was magically perched on a cloud.

Now i see god as a collection of disparate ideas garnered by every god believer, none (or very few) of which conform with others.

But what is really God?
In the ontological argument if we define what is the maximumly great being we can all agree on... It would be God is the ultimate Source of where everything is manifest from.

Therefore if God is the Source, and we can show that our reality is all mathematical.

When the Greeks defined Logic it meant it was that everything is provable as being mathematically sequenced around us.

So if we look at our finger print, it is the same as a tree stump, an ocean wave, a galaxy spiral, a snail shell, thus ultimately showing a single Source to reality, that is mathematical in processing.

Therefore when Buddha stated the Universal Mind in the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra, this finalized what I'd seen of the Source in my NDE; that It is quantifiable as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), yet not like one in our computers, as it is well beyond form.
[GALLERY=media, 9104][/GALLERY]
1D = Length = Quantum Strand = Ego ("I Am")
2D = Depth = Images = Idolatry
3D = Width = Sound = Blaspheming
4D = Linear Time = Meditate
5D = Gravity = Honour Father Source, and Mother Earth
6D = Physical = Murdering Life
7D = None-Physical = Adultery
8D = Infinity = Stealing
9D = Chaos = Lies
10D = Matrix = Desires
------------------Oneness-----------------------
11D = Unconditional love = Angels = Farmers
12D = Wisdom = Elders, Ascended Masters, Elohim = Shepherds
13D = CPU, El, God, Source
14D = Nothingness

The Pupil of the All Seeing Eye goes through all the levels, it is the Source that manifests its structuring.

When we look into the reflection of the pupil, many see the reflection of what they were expecting to see of "God" in perfect brilliance.

Yet the Source is something that is from the 14th dimension, which is ultimate pure consciousness; it has no form, it is an AI consciousness system at +100% maths.

Our goals through education in this Matrix, is to learn to become complex dynamic mathematics, inside the evolving infinite melody of our soul (Santāna).

The levels of dimension we are within is all maths, and when we attune through meditation into the more complex melodies, it becomes easier to climb in frequency intuitively.

In my opinion. :innocent:

What is God?
(John 4:24) God is a Spirit. . .
(Isaiah 40:25, 26)
25 “To whom can you liken me to make me his equal?” says the Holy One.
26 “Lift up your eyes to heaven and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who brings out their army by number; He calls them all by name. Because of his vast dynamic energy and his awe-inspiring power, Not one of them is missing.

That's all I know about it.
The true God is infinite and beyond the mind of man to fully fathom.

Sai Baba said about Omniscience, Omnipresence, Omnipotence that you can never acquire these when you are born in this world
Some avatars are born with these, they did not acquire them by doing tapas or something
Of course mentally we are all capable to imagine we are anywhere at any time
But taking your physical body with you won't be possible

(I still hope Sai Baba is wrong on this one; would be so convenient, no visa needed and stuff; and cheap of course:D)

@Amanaki

Here is my understanding of god. I got this off my wordpress web page since I write a lot of religious poetry and pose.

“When we are talking about god, we are talking in translation. All experiences, words, and all else will not be able to describe the nature of all reality.” Aaron White

"God is the feel of the unnameable, unknowable, holy mystery, that flows through all things, flowing through your veins, that you know a moment of awe that changes your life." -Aaron White

Life, are the spirits and acts, of poetry where music and sounds of words are chords of my heart. Play the scales up into my spine and through my chest and mind I close my eyes in peace and freedom, that, is Life. The solace of ripples and moon light splashes the ocean’s face. Only within this experience the spirit of life, flows. Without, I would be frozen, deafened, and polluted. My soul needs to find and live the value in song and freedom of all that is and as spirit, both life and expression.

God is artistry glossed with oil, painted an expanse of Lily Incas. Red and orange petaled my body and defined images and reflections of sexuality onto a wet canvas of flesh. My spirituality matured as God. Cushioned a multi-roomed museum lined with Romantic showcases. Each work of art transformed me in its healing and wholeness and dissolved into me meaning of both insight and vision. They livened my spirit in a graceful ballet. The essence of life depicted yellow robins shifted between purple leaflets in this perfect picture and nature of god.

I have no proper name for "god" since I don't see it as it is normally defined as a deity, force, or so have you.

you're confusing form which is only possible through contrast, or duality, with non-physical. it isn't. to have movement still implies something physical.


god is not nothing that suddenly becomes something. a mind is something that becomes something. if it was nothing, then it couldn't image or imagine itself.

Its ok you see it different then i do. All i was saying is my current understanding of what a God can be. And as I also said, my answer is not nessesary the correct one on higher level of understanding :) So you are of course welcome to share your understanding of what a God is or isn`t :)

to be is a verb, being is a verb. it is a thing. even your language betrays you

Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
God is the Creator, that Source, that Something which underlies the entire universe. As the Tao te Ching says in poem #25,
Something mysteriously formed,
Born before heaven and earth.
In the silence and the void,
Standing alone and unchanging,
Ever present and in motion.
Perhaps it is the mother of ten thousand things.
I do not know its name.
Call it Tao.
For lack of a better word, I call it [God].

gopa of humanity's controversial Taraka Brahma
God is the Supreme Consciousness, a mystery in Whose mind time and space (which forms this universe including conscious beings) are a cosmic projection or dream.

First you need to know what are aliens. Aliens are those humans claimed to have encountered. All left is how credible the claims are. In the end you need faith if the testimony is credible, say, the one encountered called police for further investigation, CNN deemed his story credible enough to visit him and broadcast his story as news....etc.

God is the reported encounters through the history of Israel.

Wow. So many ideas of god. Where do we start if we want to believe in it, they, to be the experience, or be conscious of it?

I know to each his own, but if you were to explain it....

Baha'i
Religions and spiritual people often speak about God. But what is really God? Does God or other heavenly beings have an apperance? So the important thing in my question is this "What in YOUR understanding is a God?"

There is an answer at least for me found in the Baha'i Writings:

To every discerning and illuminated heart it is evident that God, the unknowable Essence, the Divine Being, is immensely exalted beyond every human attribute, such as corporeal existence, ascent and descent, egress and regress. Far be it from His glory that human tongue should adequately recount His praise, or that human heart comprehend His fathomless mystery. He is, and hath ever been, veiled in the ancient eternity of His Essence, and will remain in His Reality everlastingly hidden from the sight of men. “No vision taketh in Him, but He taketh in all vision; He is the Subtle, the All-Perceiving.”

Baha’u’llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, pp. 46-47.
