I can appreciate that those words, or any for that matter, are all a part of our illusions, but are the conscious conceptualizations behind them a part of the illusion as well? In your opinion, where does illusion stop and your Self and Absolute Reality begin?
I've used this imagery before but I think it's valuable here. My answer to your question is to refer to the image of a dream. In a dream, I have many adventures and interact with many apparently separate people. When I wake up, I realize that it was only a dream, that all the separate people don't exist and everything that I thought happened did not really happen.

So from this idea, Absolute Reality begins when someone "wakes up".

I believe that One is self-aware and constantly intercedes as it suits Him. Prayer is the method of change and that change takes place within the consciousness of the sincere devotee. He is not as we imagine Him to be, but He is as He would be. Therefore, it is not so much about asking Him to do things for you and it is asking what you can do for Him.

Is the god, supreme being, creator, absolute, or whatever word you use in your religion or spirituality to describe your personal deity, self-aware? Is He/She/It sentient and capable of changing or influencing events in your life?

If can you answer yes to either or both of these questions, please share the personal truth that led you to believe that your god is self-aware. If you answer yes to the latter, if applicable, please share your role in soliciting these changes or influences, i.e. how you petition your god for these.

If your answer is no to both, please share your personal view on the influence, if any, your god has in your existence (not necessarily only in this "reality"). If there is no influence, I'd be interested to hear the purpose your god serves.

Also, if it's not listed in your profile, please share what religion you follow (if applicable).

My Deity is so self-aware, He has hundreds of names that He knows and that His followers employ.

Yes.

Yes.

I just 'know' it 'inside'.

If I do as God desires/prefers, then God - through Her Angels - will ensure that things go well for me/support me. If not, the converse is true. I do not petition God for anything, except perhaps guidance (which comes from Her Angels).

Also, if it's not listed in your profile, please share what religion you follow (if applicable).

Islaam.
