On Knowing God??

[Mellowmarsh]

Is there a way to knowing God by just simply being present in this already immediate silent presence?

I mean, God is not an object that can be physically seen as a concept is. I mean can God be simply known without even speaking a word or making a sound about this knowing?

I’m using question marks as a sense of self-reference tool, so as not to seem like I’m knowing something that no one else knows until you hear it from me first, no, that’s not my intention. I’m just curious and one who is open to every opinion out there.

I separated from his highness God and plonked myself in this universe so I could no longer have to deal with his constant badgering. I am thus the anti-god if you will. Keeping quiet might make me peaceful but it will def entrench my anti-god sentiment. I have overcome o high and mighty one and I am going to live the best life ever. I may fall on my face a while but I've got lifetimes and lifetimes to get this shit down. Anyone feeling?

Yes, but you'll have to sit a very long time.

And in the end you still need to question what reality/God/you/consciousness is.

In practice, lack of thinking will end in misunderstanding of God.

I don't know.

All Knowledge is god but it's not about God, see?

That's the insight in Holistic God Understanding 

To know God you'll have to experience. That takes what it gets. Yet God is truly omnipresent and is happening right now all over the place.

In the present field of experience God is happening. In fact, it couldn't be otherwise. Existentially so, it's the fabric of Reality not dependent on particular states, but to get that you'll have to get into the stateless state, through silence if it's your preferred method and living in it every breath of life. Feeling into ever-present nature of God. Consciousness shining brightly anchored in a perfect Grid.

God is the ultimate nature of reality. If you want to know it you have to remove everything that closes you in the box of the ego. Your mind has to be absolutely clean of limits.

Maybe it might be nice to open up to more atheistic possibilities of why reality exists now, since God is also non-God too. It might be more interesting to find relative truths for why things exist than just the fact that something exists.

When God is telling you to be still?

Be still means not merely to be still in our bodies, or even our minds. To be still in God is a stillness of the heart, deep within the soul. It's a feeling of peace in the outcome of any given situation, the faith that as long as we place that situation in God's hands, then all will be well.

Try love. Im pretty sure love is the way. I constantly get the sense that it's my loving, resilient relationship with a deeply personal God that has kept me all this time. Talking to him, asking him stuff, telling him stuff, telling my opinion to him lol. Love expansion seems to be the gateway. 

Also, I'm pretty sure god cannot be known (with learned informational knowledge), it's better to attain by becoming it.

God is telling you to think.

Yes you can know the nothingness aspect of God. But you cant know the infinite version. If you touch the bottom you can climb to the top. Your life is to touch the bottom and swim back up like a game. You are a dimensional traveller playing a game inside of God. Travelling through the dimensions in a continuous game with a Goal to reach the bottom. Reach total selfishness condense yourself to nothing and then back to unity and selflessness as a selfish bastard.

Just wanted to say that everyone on this forum (with the exception of a few) has literal gold to offer.

Reading your insights places me in the cornucopia of our collective madness.

I’ve thought about this a lot. Observing thought,  forms an image known, but this knowing is not a physical object, this knowing is a feeling, it’s a sense, not nonsense, but actual sense.

 I thought about thinking and how every thought lead me to the source of thought. I am the source.

The stillness is the source and the thoughts are the movement within source.

The thoughts are analogous to (seeds) and that I (source) is the gardener of my own garden.
In stillness I could hear more clearly, listening required silence. I realised I am  the silence sounding.

A thought came, there’s no garden without a gardener, and that only watered seeds grew.

I really liked the way you expressed that. Very well put, thanks. 👍 

Something in those words click with me.
 

I think infinity is unwritten, so infinity can’t be known in its entirety, and yet the entirety of this knowing is known automatically in the instant knowing arises one with the knowing, as it is being written in the here and now.

Nice! 
 

Alignment with source is real true genuine heartfelt love connection. The only connection you need for self growth, encouragement, nourishment and self fulfilment. There’s no other source outside of yourself other than what’s already source here In you. The kingdom is already with in you, beggars be gone, beggars belief, be gone. The value is already self evident and has no requirement for belief. No further inquiry is necessary for what is already available in the here and now God Self.

God realised??

⬇️

“ 'Bring a banyan fruit.'

'Here it is, sir.'
'Cut it up.'
'I've cut it up, sir.'
'What do you see here?'
'These quite tiny seeds, sir.'
'Now, take one of them and cut it up.'
'I've cut it up, sir.'
'What do you see there?'
'Nothing, sir.'
Then he told him: 'This finest essence here, son, that you can't even see—look how on account of that finest essence this huge banyan tree stands here.

'Believe, my son: the finest essence here—that constitutes the self of this whole world; that is the truth; that is the self “

I am both the son of the father and the father of the son.
