God is a Person.
I really am finding these days that I do not agree with the Hindhu/Buddhist notion of I AM. That God is somehow pure awareness or consciousness and that is all.
To me, when the bible says God made Adam & Eve in His own image, He made them PEOPLE because He/She is Himself a Person.
To me God is a big Person. With a personality, character, wit, humour, mind, feelings, ego even!
Life is all about people!
God created people because THAT IS WHAT HE/SHE IS. To me even animals are small PEOPLE.

Yes, God is a very very very big person...that happens to have a spirit body....that is sustaining the entire Universe and other Universes on every dimension...
That is a soft and sweet as puppy-breath and explodes mighty Super Novas along with the 150 billion Stars/Suns in our little Galaxy (most 50 times larger than our own Sun).
A very big Being, indeed.
My opinion? He is nothing if not pure feelings.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Geocentrism at its worst. I would have thought that people in this forum are working hard to overcome that but it seems that I am wrong.

God created life in his image-nation, or... imagination.
Of course, the blueprint of a human being comes from the highest heights of creation and is imprinted on every level, to the densest here on earth. Everything in creation/that is created already has a blueprint and is mirrored and reflected all throughout life.

God is all that there IS, but to say that God is a person is to reduce what IS to a mere thing, God is all that there IS, nothing else, because there isn't anything else.

Isn't God also all there is not? The NOT is there as much as the IS, will be and will never be.

Saying 'God is all that there IS' is an all-inclusive statement, 'all there is not' isn't something other than that.

now your bringing duality into the picture, which is only the shadow of God, yes the shadow is also God, but because its from the mind, its missing the big picture, your only seeing a small portion, the portion is part of the whole, drop the blinkers and see the whole, when you see the whole there is nothing else to say, so i'll shut up now lol.
