So what exactly is God?

Yes . Two points :

1- I know 100% that god exists just by looking at a fucking ant on the street .

2-I don’t know what god is fully . We can say he (it) is omnipotent & omniscient etc but what is god in its core I have no clue . It’s an infinite mystery.

So there is a not knowing somehow as to the nature of God?

Yeah

Can you give me more details as to how you feel about this?

God is said to be infinite for example. This means it cannot be known fully . How can something infinite be contained or explicated fully in a finite knowledge ? Like reading the Bible and Quran and Heart Sutra and Upanishad and all the books that talk about god can never fully comprehend infinity .

Exactly!

 

You are God/ infinity. You cannot know God/ infinity, because You are it. 
 

It’s like a mountain cannot  know it’s a mountain, because it is it. A word cannot know it’s a word, because it is it. 
 

Some people might not be able to grasp what’s being said here, but some people will. And it doesn’t really matter.

Robert Adam’s said: I am is God. I am is nirvana, emptiness. I am is consciousness, and that is your reality. So there’s no real difference between me and you. Absolute reality, consciousness, is all-pervading. If it’s all-pervading, how can you be something else? You see the folly of your thinking? There is only absolute consciousness. There is only the reality. It is all-pervading. There’s nothing else.

 

So now you know. 🫵🙂

@Mellowmarsh cute but the two things are not contradicting. Yes you are me and I’m you and we are god ..but what is god though ?

the point I made here is that existence is infinite . The infinite cannot be defined or quantified or measured or understood in finite words . 
existence is infinite . It has no beginning or end neither in space nor in time. We are inside an infinite 3D VR universe and you want me or Leo or some spiritual guru to tell you the whole thing as a bedtime story it is simply impossible. Nobody can do it . Nobody will .

Good, now stop talking. Stop thinking, and just be infinity.

sure 👍. I just hope I was able to communicate my point clearly .  
yes you could say God is consciousness or God is Nirvana ..but this doesn’t mean we really know what god is . Because god is also infinity . It’s akin to trying to insert or fit the larger into the smaller . Like trying to take the whole universe and say what it is with words . I hope the analogy is clear enough. It’s really simple . I’m not saying god cannot be understood at all . I’m saying god cannot be understood fully .

It doesn’t really matter anymore tbh. Nothing is ever going to change, life will always be a bitch and then you die. Everyone is going to die. So it’s pointless trying to understand anything.

This is disappointing to read . Don’t sell yourself short . You just said YOU ARE GOD..the greatest things EVER. 
Do you feel death anxiety as you getting older or trying to medicate some existential crisis you’re going thorough with spiritual beliefs or am I misunderstanding something? Because this is not the first time you say things like this .

I’ve felt like this all my life. I believe Im just making up the idea of God just to make myself feel better. I even don’t believe anyone knows anything at all, especially the idea that there is a God’s existence. Yes, I go along with the idea myself even though I know deep down I’m just deluding myself as I don’t know if God is real or not. I can only wishfully believe God is real. I don’t think anyone really knows anything and that scares them, it’s like they can’t bear not to know so they just make wishful thinking their reality. Same goes for spirituality, all these spiritual people are just making everything up as they go along, and it all sounds so idealistic and flowery and comforting, anything to take away the aching longing of never not knowing anything so let’s just distract ourselves with made up spiritual stories about a loving God who’s got our back.

Im guilty of this nonsense too, believing in things that i know instinctively is impossible to know, just so my life feels like it’s got some purpose and meaning. I’ve read the book the “ Myth of Sisyphus” where it states he’s happy to keep rolling the stone ball up the hill just to watch it roll back down, and somehow he’s convinced himself that doing this all his life is what gives some kind of purpose to life, as if it’s better than no purpose at all. But I think that’s bs, I’d rather just rip off the bandaid and just unapologetically admit that conscious sentience was nature’s biggest blunder.
