My understanding of God

God is you.

Do you know what is going on other planets?

Isn't this implying that the same self that is limited by the body, by a name, that will perish and die - this illusory self that God is dreaming - is the one who is imagining and creating the universe?

If my real self is the God self, that is unbound by any body or any limiting attributes whatsoever, why suddenly add the limited knowledge of the human self to the attributes of God?

You're confusing it again.  Omniscience isn't knowledge. It is understanding. Knowledge is an illusion. 

How is it an illusion? I can be conscious that the video game that I am playing is an illusion, yet I can still have knowledge of it.

I can have knowledge of the layout of my city while knowing it is imaginary.

Your human self is a confusion overlaid on top of God.

If you strip your human ego self of all it's crap, God will remain.

The human self is crap encrusted on top of God.

Think of God as a battleship and your human self as barnacles encrusting its hull. Under all the barnacles is Pure Infinite Mind.

The Pure Mind underneath the human self is God.

There is no “my understanding” of God. 

There is a thought created story told about “my understanding” but the thought-created “story” doesn’t refer to anything at all.
 

There’s no requirement or necessity to theorise this immediate aliveness.If you stop thinking, aliveness is still there.
Being-ness is still there absolutely unchanged.

Look at the big picture of what this delusional concept has caused!

You can keep that garbage 🗑 

If the word “God “ triggers you , replace it with “Reality “.

Yes , nobody said that you have to understand the reality you are living in . You can survive just as fine without understanding anything. A cockroach doesn’t have to understand anything to survive . But you can choose to understand if that’s your thing .

When you choose to understand reality , all that you will discover is that the only understanding that can be understood absolutely is that you have the exact same sense of self-importance as that of a cockroach.

I'm not claiming reality is a fairy tale.

I'm saying it's without identification.

That which proclaims "I am that" is illusory.

Some smart assing, if you allow me:

You could say that being is how god manifest, but being is an affirmative property, not God itself, God would be what is.

Perfection “ isn’t the same as goodness in the sense of sugary goodness. Like pleasure, peace, love, joy, etc. God is all of that. But God is also evil, pain, suffering, misery, etc.

God is EVERYTHING ever.

That’s what I mean by perfection: completion. Nothing is missing.

You could say that, but really pleasure, evilness, etc, are expressions of reality, God itself would be the source, and the source is not perfect or imperfect, because those adjectives born in the form, can't define what is prior to form

God exists everywhere, ever.

There is nowhere that God isn’t.

 

"Where" would be an expression of the reality, the source is dimensionless, dimensions are possibilities.  

On 12/11/2026 at 6:29 PM, Someone here said:

God knows everything ever, all at once. Nothing is unknown to God.

God wouldn't know nothing, because it would be limitless, then something would be just something, just a possibility being possible. God would be the source and the manifestation, there is no source without manifestation or manifestation without source. The source is the unfathomable, the manifestation is the limited. Two faces of the reality.

On 12/11/2026 at 6:29 PM, Someone here said:

God is capable of doing anything, without any limits or restrictions to its power.There is nothing beyond its capabilities

God wouldn't do nothing, it just would be because it would be inevitable, since it couldn't be limited to not being. God would create an universe in the same way that you create shit after eating, because it's your nature. In fact, you are god, expressed as an human 

On 12/11/2026 at 6:29 PM, Someone here said:

God contains EVERYTHING ever. You want a unicorn? There are unicorns.You want a sci-fi universe? There are sci-fi worlds.You want a hell realm? There is a hell realm.You want a heaven of infinite orgasms? There are infinite heavens.

Nothing has been left out.EVERYTHING ever exists within God. That’s what completion means.

You also could say that god contains nothing but it's the unlimited potential for everything. 

On 12/11/2026 at 6:29 PM, Someone here said:

God is outside of time.

It has existed since forever and will continue to exist until forever.It was never born and can never die.

Sure, the time would be an expression of God, the happening, the relationship cause effect, but the unlimited is only caused by the absence of limits, and that's nothing

You are . Because Reality is the same as God . And you are saying that God is a fairy tail.  If it wasn’t for the usage of the word “ God “, you wouldn’t have any problem with what’s being said .
Notice that you just commented by saying that God is a fairly tail and a concept that harmed humanity , instead of addressing anything else which was said in OP .

@Breakingthewall I don’t recall a single conversation between us that has ever lead anywhere . So I would just refrain from engaging you . But thank you for sharing your thoughts. We can agree to disagree.

There are literally no words for that. You can call it nothingness or the Void, but these are still conceivable concepts. Ultimately, God itself is beyond definition. Because it is prior to definitions.

...which automatically nullifies (or rather relativizes) anything you say about it. Even saying "it cannot be defined" is already a definition (aka. conceptual limitation).

The fact that God/Reality/Infinity/The Absolute has no opposite means that anything you say about it isn't it... and also it is, but so is the opposite of whatever you are saying.

Simple (meta)logic.

That's because you are too egoic for the challenge

Same. Well, same than most of spiritual people. They feel threatened if their ideas are challenging because their ideas are part of their identity and also a grip for their balance. That's why they are rigid

no , that’s not true .  The real reason is because what I said . 
your “challenges “ are endless . And therefore they will never lead anywhere . 
maybe you are a Type of person who enjoys the questioning more than the answers , the journey rather than the destination.  
You do you . Again thanks for sharing your reflection but I would refrain . No offense or ill feeling towards you whatsoever .

Any concept is an illusion.  Even metaphysics. All of it. When you conceptualize you're moving away from Being.  Just sit and rest in Being.

Work him. Get him out of neo-advaita. It's a terrible trap

[Sincerity]

Instead of theorizing, you’d be better off just looking at It. All this belief does is prevent you from seeing and actually gaining some real knowledge. Your beliefs are completely useless - in fact, they’re detrimental.
