Images of God Thread

[Xonas Pitfall]

I appreciate that in Islam, there are no images of God – it helps avoid worshipping a figure or reducing God to a limited, anthropomorphized form. But at the same time, during some of my trips, I’ve encountered imagery that deeply resonated with the feeling or presence of “God.” Sometimes I’d see something and immediately think, that’s God! So I thought it would be interesting to start a thread and share those kinds of images, and also see how others’ experiences compare.

Note: I'm not saying this is what God looks like or what God is. I'm just pointing out that some images seem to serve as powerful pointers or symbolic representations – they can evoke something deep or even help trigger or confirm an awakening!

The first one is a classic - the ever-escalating spiral.

I’ve seen quite a few variations of it, and each time I do, it seems to unlock a new layer of understanding. I remember one specific moment where a spiral helped me zoom out of my immediate surroundings. In that moment, I grasped God as an infinite “object,” containing not only my present experience, but all possible realities spiraling outward from a single point of origin.

It was a single, continuous spiral, not multiple expanding ones like in some images above. I could see through it, almost like it had a 3D or even 4D quality. It wasn’t just in front of me, it was moving through me, pulling my present moment into itself. The whole thing felt incredibly trippy, with stripe-like patterns in black, blue, and purple.

Sorry, I didn’t see this god thread , I think we both submitted similar topic at the same time.

I too was curious about the image of god, then I saw you’re thread. Just a Coincidence though.

Another one that comes to mind is the triangle-headed creature with a single eye in the center – kind of like an Illuminati symbol, but much goofier. Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls is a great example, and it also reminds me of the characters from the game Patapon.

This kind of imagery probably captures the “observer” aspect of God for me. It can be a powerful symbol for ego death or stepping outside the self to witness reality from a more expanded, non-personal perspective.

@Mellowmarsh

No worries! I don't think it's too similar – your topic seems much broader in scope. This thread is more focused specifically on the visual imagery and representations that often come up during psychedelic trips or moments of insight that people associate with God. Yours feels more philosophical and wide-ranging, so I don't see any conflict at all!

[Xonas Pitfall]

These goofy, mind-fuck old school cartoony 2D styles with bright saturated colors also feel like God - they encapsulate the playful, yet insane nature, pretty well! There’s also a remembrance of childhood before our ego was fully formed, so probably it triggers some memory of a less filtered conscious experience.

Very cool thread 😎 .

As far as trips I haven't tripped .

As far as image for God....well isn't that simply anything and everything?  All of existence? 

I like your reference to Islam I'm undertaking a deep journey of exploring it . this religion is the deepest religion out there .

They've asked Muhammad did you see God and how about you describe him to us...he said his veil is light so intense that if the veil between creation and God was erased the light is going to burn all of creation into nothing.

Thanks! And just to be clear, I’m not saying this is what God looks like or what God is. Like you said, God is everything and has no image or form – that’s why Islam doesn’t promote imagery, especially idol worship or anthropomorphic depictions. As said above, I’m just pointing out that some images act as powerful symbols or pointers. They can evoke something deep or even help trigger or confirm an awakening. So if you ever decide to trip and see anything that visually points you to God, definitely share it here, yay!

Does the “observer” aspect of God have an image for the’me’? What would that image look like for the’me’?

@Xonas Pitfall oh yeah i remember you kreyo guy.

@Mellowmarsh

I don’t know for sure! I’m just sharing what my experience was like. On one trip, I couldn’t stop drawing triangles with eyes in the middle, or single-eye creatures like the ones I mentioned earlier. That was when I was going through my awakening to no-self. I’m sharing this here so others can compare with their own experiences. That’s all. It’d be interesting to see if there are any commonalities or patterns, even though these experiences are supposed to be very personal and subjective.

@Someone here I’m not Keryo! It seems like Keryo has been away from the forum for a while, but I do think they’re very cool! Hopefully they’ll come back soon. I’m just a new little mouse here

@Xonas Pitfall nope you are him. You are not gonna escape from my bullshit detector.  The writing style is unbelievably similar.

Pure transparency, this was one of my deepest awakenings. It felt like a clear, transparent overlay had settled over everything, or everything else had been completely cleared out, like a vacuum emptying the room. My consciousness and awareness felt incredibly real, and I kept screaming, “Awakening! Awakening! Awake! I’m awake, I’m so awake, so awake!”

Not white, no color, and not a void either.

It’s the same room, the same visual field you’re seeing now, but everything feels so much “realer,” “purer,” with heightened awareness.

The best way to describe it is to compare how you feel when you’re painfully sleepy and drowsy versus after a perfect nap when you’re fully awake. Even though your surroundings haven’t changed, your experience is way more alert and clear.

Promise I’m not! But I guess the only way to prove that is with time. Either way, hope you enjoy my threads!

Don't know why, but it reminds me of Rinnegan
