Hi Z,
When I saw the question I laughed...cuz how can one ever answer that! LOL
I could only think, God is...(Just that) ...nothing else is...
This Pure Awareness...which I and many have experienced as the Void or Nothingness...except for
The One, Pure Awareness....(not Consciousness...Awareness).

But now you take it to a more interesting question ..Does God ask Itself this very ques?

My take is...maybe not why, (do I exist)...but, Who am I?
And thus, here is all of manifest creation to give God 'feedback'...since God is All That Is. (God doesn't have a mirror....someone said, ha!)

You know, a yogi once said, God is like a little boy in a garden with a magnifying glass.
What was revealed to me was a bit different, but in the same vein.
Thought you would just find that interesting, tho, off topic.

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

Do not assume everyone on this forum is human.
Also do not assume that those who are human intend to stay human.
Growth is a thing that can be embraced and even realized.

What do you mean?

On the forum there are a few who claim divinity despite perhaps quite obviously never offering any inspiring words or insight.

It is feasible that a higher being might pepper the forum with nuggets of wisdom that allows a person to persue higher knowledge if they are so inclined to.

Leading the horse to water so to speak.

There are the very human seekers, who wish to ascend into a higher state of consciousness - only time will tell how fruitful that persuit is.

Hi Miss H,
Have you ever wonder what you would ask if you are having coffee/tea with your own GOD?

Beside asking GOD if it knows WHY of its existence, I will also ask "Are you happy with being a GOD?" ... because I wonder if it knows what happiness is.
People assume that their GOD (s) loves them.. Does the GOD even know what love is?

God the father/creator would theoretically have created all emotion - therefore would have a far greater understanding than ourselves.

It's why I find it hard to believe in a purely smitey divine - they would have essentially invented humour therefore understand it perfectly.

A loving God might answer your question WHY - with "why not?"

Until Source says "it matters not who/what you are...just know that Brahman Alone Exists".

Don't be surprised if GOD (s) do not understand human emotions.
We assume a lot of things about GOD and often blindly following without questioning.

There is no singular entity or "God". To me the Universe is the Great Mystery of all there is. When I pray, I pray to all there is.

We seem to to perceive things way differently ... We'll see ...
