energy

: vigorous exertion of power : EFFORT
investing time and energy

put then together and you get
dynamic energy

What is God? What's God's nature/existence?

Why does God exist instead of not exist?

We need to define the word "God" and share it with everyone we talk about before telling what we think because everyone has different nuances. Is the creator God, this equilibrium system itself God, etc? Once establish the foundation of linguistics, then we can have meaningful conversations.

We need to define the word "God" and share it with everyone we talk about before telling what we think because everyone has different nuances. Is the creator God, this equilibrium system itself God, etc? Once establish the foundation of linguistics, then we can have meaningful conversations.

All those various ideations that we call "God" are God.

What we need to recognize and understand is that 'God' is the term that we use to refer to a profound mystery. That is the mystery source, sustenance, and purpose of all that exists to us. None of us knows how to resolve this mystery, but all of us have developed various ideas about it (including atheists). And many of us have adopted those ideas as if they were reality itself.

But there is no way that any mere human can know this to be so. And our believing it's so does not stand as the proof that what we believe to be so, is so. So we need to understand this, and to respect our own limitations.

I see little value in arguing about who's ideas of God are more or less true than anyone else's, since none of us can possibly know that. We can share our ideas with each other, certainly, and adopt whatever ideas seem to work best for ourselves as we live our lives. But beyond this, there is really nowhere else to go with it. Arguing about it is just endless and pointless self-justification.

I am all too familiar with the metaphysics of God. The only way a person can access the higher dimension and interact with what we call "God" is through extrasensory perception. As Penrose and Hameroff state; Microtubules within neurons are suitable candidates for quantum processing and ultimately for consciousness.

Unlike most everyone else I have a way of accessing my higher genius and proving the existence of God.

If everyone had access to their higher genius they would easily see the logic of God. God, is not a mere imaginary entity but exists externally in the real world. Specifically outside of space, time and object.

If you placed the smartest people in the world in a room together they would easily prove the existence of God through their collaboration. This is because God is logical. Which leads me to my next point: God is real because He is proven using logic.

I pity those who have never seen God, let alone access their higher genius. They will never have the luxury of knowledge.

Mental illness often masquerades as access to God (or anti-god). And there would be no way for the person experiencing this to recognize it as it would be self-validating in his own mind. You can believe what you want but wisdom calls for skepticism.

Perhaps. But that is only in cases of self-deception. If God exists in a higher dimension then you may see how it may be possible to access that dimension. The higher dimension contains the separation, effecting the non-separation. Everything real can be empirically tested, including God. It requires a mind of the highest kind.

Have you ever been in an open environment that felt like a religious experience? That is what I'm talking about.

But the self-deceived cannot recognize that they are being self-deceived. Therefor, we all need to be skeptical af any such 'extraordinary' insights or experiences.

If God exists in a higher dimension then you may see how it may be possible to access that dimension.

Or it may not be possible. If ... if ... if ... the point is that we don't know.

The higher dimension contains the separation, effecting the non-separation.

What does that even mean?

Everything real can be empirically tested, including God.

That's simply not true. There is no empirical test for the existence of God.

It requires a mind of the highest kind.

There is no such mind. We can imagine a God according to our own limited perception and understanding, and then we can choose to trust that the God we imagine is the God that exists. But that's about it. And we're almost certainly going to do so inaccurately.

Have you ever been in an open environment that felt like a religious experience? That is what I'm talking about.

Yes, I have. But I still don't blindly presume to understand it.
