I do not rely on lower mind and dwell mostly in silence. Thought is only an instrument to be used when needed. That said, we live in body so conditioning is inevitable, however if we continue looking at form from a centreless fulcrum, in time, blissful nonchalance sets in.
About God, let us rest that for a while and look at ourselves instead. Clearly, there are two of us in here, one is narrow identity or ego and the other, for lack of an apt expression, is formless awareness, unchanging ~ it dies not get affected by aging and circumstances.
What is this awareness? We cannot use mind to ascertain it, since mind is both limited as well as dualistic. So we rest in silence, in effortless, thought rested meditation. Where is identity in silence? Nowhere. It disappears.
Silence connects awareness to singularity. Of course there are in between stages, manifestations, sounds, experiences, wisdom downloads, even void experiences and so forth. Then, samadhi. What is samadhi? Samadhi is simply a transmutation of consciousness wherein we become the current, the omnipresent life force. We do not experience the flame, we become the flame. What flame? Bliss.
Then we return to form through an unknown mechanism. Mind analyses but analysis is paralysis. Still, since we have directly seen, been and become, there remains no doubt in our dualistic mind even. However, what is imbibed is not assimilated yet. We can call this flickering awareness. Oscillating.
Deeper yet, we see we are the Self, all is Self. What is Self? God. A singular consciousness which we are, albeit without identity. Limitless, boundaryless.
What is there to be said about this? Nothing.
