Have you met your God/gods?

[The Sum of Awe]

What was your experience like?

For me God reveals himself through the number 42 (it's actually totally unrelated to Hitchhiker's ), the color blue, and often just through synchronicity and coincidences that show meaning to me.

What was your experience like?

I once merged consciousness with a raven outside my window, which was my first "calling" to work with Odin.

The Norns reveal their plans to me occasionally through runic divination, although those aren't "Gods", but Beings.

I also feel the Gods during Ritual.

I've had other experiences, but these are a couple of them.

 

[robocop (actually)]

No I haven't, but I'm told when I feel the Spirit that I'm worthy to be in their presence.

intense, unnerving, like trying to stand still in a hurricane

Sounds quite familiar.

Complete calmness, a lot of curiousity (from me)
Feeling of being safe.

After the experience (a few days ago) i have felt happy all the time.

Did you see anything? Hear anything?

 

[Spirit of Light]

Did you see anything? Hear anything?

I heard the voice both within me but also outside of me as if someone was next to me, but no i did not see any being or God.
I did not expect to get answered this way, because i asked God for guidance.

I'm intrigued. What happened?

Ritual as practiced in my community has a lot of steps and details and it is repeated daily. When I do it properly it takes about 2 hours, there's chanting and opportunity for a meditative experience. Once or twice in my life I've been involved in the ritual and everything was clicking, the words were flowing, the themes represented by my actions were resonating, I could imagine/feel the unbroken chain of my ancestors performing the same ritual. I could imagine/feel the unbroken chain into future generations who would also perform the same ritual. I basically got carried away with what I was doing and felt that something or someone was listening and watching and approving of my practice. But it wasn't pleasant, and it only lasted for a few moments.

I "have met God", more than once. And the experiences were the best, and pales all worldly experiences

Best of all is, that there is no doubt whatsoever that "God" is for real, and that He is my guardian Angel

Usually when I really do my best, Spiritually speaking, then "God" replies to me and as a gift He shows me my flaws I can start working on next

Also He confirms when I do something new, that I feel is good, but others disagree. Important to listen to my own conscience. E.g. once I joined Christian chanting in a beautiful Church. Alas it was in Portuguese and I can't sing Portuguese, so I decided to chant an Indian mantra. I went fully into it. Was a bit lengthy ceremony starting 14:00 and ending 02:00. Those are my favorite, as it takes time to get really into it.

At 20:00 (after ca. 6h continuous intense mantra repeating) Jesus revealed Himself to me, and I merged in Him, or He in me.

Best experience ever, and Jesus confirmed to me, that Hindu mantra is perfect also (Thou shall not judge...Jesus put in practice)

 

[Exaltist Ethan]

I can't meet my God, because every single moment I am alive I experience God. I'm a pantheist. And a syntheist. The longer I live the closer to God we reach as a human species, so every single subsequent day I exist I draw a little bit closer to God than I had done the previous day.

 

[Viker]

I don't know about having "met" them but I have sensed or felt them. They place signs all around.

No, I have never met my God.

Interesting! There are times when I see the number 108 a lot. Forty-two is a number that I hardly ever see.

I have had many experiences of ‘meeting’ the divine, and I will have even more in this life. In my early 20s, I meditated on the sound Om, and I merged with the omnipresent consciousness that was purely serene. Sometimes, when I gaze at an ‘idol’ or a picture of a deity, I get tears of devotion unexpectedly. One time, I unexpectedly felt waves of love and pure kindness from an ‘idol’ of Hanumān. Also, I have unexpectedly ‘seen’ the world as being no different from Mahādevī. There are many more experiences.

One last thought. From what I learned, you know that your spiritual experiences are genuine because they change you either fully or to some extent. In my case, I find myself more calm, collected, kind, patient, generous, and benevolent.

Has anyone’s experiences changed or influenced them?

 

[osgart]

As an atheist I've had many experiences of what God would be like. The experiences are powerful and idyllic. I tend to doubt experiences like that. If I had a God to believe in I know the one or many by the character they have. Other worldly character beyond words; far and well beyond humanity. My experiences are highly enlightening. Knowing the ways reality is I stand in total doubt of these experiences.

Absolutely, my experiences changed me in the same way

 

[VoidCat]

Once i was crying and I prayed to Lucifer telling them about my problems. I felt something or someone near me patting my back like someone was comforting me but I couldn't see anything there and i felt warmth and a sense everything was going to be alright.

 

[Vinayaka]

Yes.

 

[Psalm23]

A particular memorable experience was a time in 2012 that I wanted the Holy Spirit and received prayer to receive/be filled with the Holy Spirit. The man who prayed for me put his hand on my head while he prayed. I felt this intense heat all over that had overwhelmed me. I had turned aside and saw myself begin to fall forward in his wife's arms and I held onto her for a moment. Then I had sat down on a bench nearby and put my head down.
I remember that after this experience, I felt comfortable calling God " Father". It puzzled me because before I had struggled with calling God Father but I didn't struggle with that anymore.
