Where is God?

[InvestigateTruth]

In god world.

So, in your view God has a location. God moves from one location to another, or is God fixed somewhere without moving?

 

[InvestigateTruth]

I believe in God but to me, the question you pose is misphrased, because I’d say that we are in God.

Humbly,
Hermit

So, kind of like, God has a belly and we are inside God's belly?

 

[InvestigateTruth]

There is no way to God, only one way to God and many ways to God and thus it depends on how you do that versus how I do that.

So, in your view God has a location. God moves from one location to another, or is God fixed somewhere without moving?

No, it is about that the location is dependent on who you ask. But if there is a God, only God knows.

 

[Exaltist Ethan]

God is everywhere. God is in all creation, and God is beyond everything

I agree with this answer. However...

I often pray to God

I don't pray to God because I don't think God can listen.

As something that is all reality by itself I don't give anthropomorphic qualities to God. Reality isn't human. However, I can attend to and shape parts of this reality as I wish so and desire to.

Here's how Britannica escribes the creative aspect called Maya/Illusion:

maya, (Sanskrit: “magic” or “illusion”) a fundamental concept in Hindu philosophy, notably in the Advaita (Nondualist) school of Vedanta. Maya originally denoted the magic power with which a god can make human beings believe in what turns out to be an illusion. By extension, it later came to mean the powerful force that creates the cosmic illusion that the phenomenal world is real. For the Nondualists, maya is thus that cosmic force that presents the infinite brahman (the supreme being) as the finite phenomenal world. Maya is reflected on the individual level by human ignorance (ajnana) of the real nature of the self, which is mistaken for the empirical ego but which is in reality identical with brahman.

So you're saying that Maya is a quality of Brahman?

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

So you're saying that Maya is a quality of Brahman?

I don't want to debate, but it is either than or there is more than Brahman. Of course that is human logic and I don't know if that applies to Brahman.

 

[George-ananda]

So you're saying that Maya is a quality of Brahman?

I think it's correct to say that, as the definition calls Maya the powerful force that creates the cosmic illusion

 

[Vinidra]

I'm a panentheist, so I think we all reside in God. She pervades all the universes and also exists outside of them.

She is both immanent and transcendent.

The immanent aspects pervade everything (as mentioned above) and also exist in the hearts of every person.

The transcendent aspect exists outside everything. For simplicity, you could call it Durgaloka (the abode of Mother Durga), but I'm not sure it's actually a place in the way we understand the word "place."

My understanding may be completely wrong, though.

According to the Bible it is in an actual throne room where God resides. I believe it is another dimension also called third heaven in the Bible

I believe differently.

That might indicate that there is also gravity in that room. Difficult to sit without gravity.

There must be an atmosphere, too, since otherwise angles wings would be useless.

Here is an interesting question: why did God create angels so that they can go airborne with wings like birds, and not like, say, helicopters? Or by local suspension of gravity?
My answer: whoever invented angels knew about birds, but had no clue of other forms of vertical transportation. Nor of gravity. Hence he gave them birds like wings.
Can you find a better one?

Does Spirit and energy move with gravity. Atmosphere like earth lol. God made the air for birds not angels.

Yes, and He made thrones for people sitting on them, not for Gods, who probably even lack the organ which is needed to sit down.

[Jainarayan]

God is within and without, God is immanent and transcendent. “I am the [Universal Soul], seated in the hearts of all creatures. I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all beings”. Bhagavad Gita 10.20

 

[Colt]

If you believe in God, where is God?
Up there?

While God is spirit and pervades creation and literally lives within many, the geographical location of God is Paradise.

 

[PureX]

I don't pray to God because I don't think God can listen.

The prayer is not for God to hear, but for us to say.

There is a place where only Gods live. Brahman lives in this godland with other gods. Brahman does god things over there.
