God is a projection of our mind, right?

I do not know. In fact we simply are confused about it. God is a memory and a thought. It does not exist beyond that.

There are so many Gods. Born of fear we all want God or Gods to salvage us. To see God, if He or She exists we cannot realize God through our endeavors.

If there is One it is not like the one we read in mythological descriptions. God is not a static physical entity nor anything we can perceive through our sensory perceptions. Sensory perceptions cannot see all the dimensions of an object.

Belief in God gives us a kind of comfort and we do not inquire further from the comfort zone we live in.

Or rather, it exists in all that. If God is everything, that includes memories and thoughts and everything beyond.

IMO, the easiest way to move past this whole question is to simply stop using the word. Life and the universe is creation. The spirit world is creation. We're creation, and our thoughts and dreams and memories are creation. Why the desire to limit our field of vision with static, intellectual concepts like "God"?

I prefer "intelligent energy" the best way I can describe my experience of what god is.

Who is the creator then? The whole conception of creation is logically fallacious and baseless.

Who created the creator and we can incessantly keep on asking and we know that we cannot get the answer at all.

Perfect!

And BTW supernova, mind projections are intelligent energy as well. No separation.

Greetings..

'God' is a word we use to describe the supreme spiritual experience, union with the Whole.. hence the many interpretations of the experience and the 'word'..

Be well..

That's the first mistake, asking questions like that. Life is. That's all we need concern ourselves with.

Life is is a good truism. I agree. But why we want the idea of creation.

Life has to do with live. We live and let us forget the rest.

We have racked our brains and have never arrived at the answer we have been eternally seeking.

The idea of God, of creation, of the reality of heaven and hell is flawed, baseless.

We are running after a series of mirages in a world of confusion. We are deluded beings.

The idea of God comforts us. But this is for a while. In a while we again become skeptical.
