The question of "Is God real?" has occupied the minds of many intellectuals.
However, the question is impossible to answer without first asking the more direct question; What is God?
Religions around the world use ancient texts such as the bible, the quran, the sumerian tablets, etc, to describe God as they see it.
Most religions manipulate the text to create a mass following, and some religious institutions, like the vatican, are actually more satanic then God-like.
The problem with religion is that it has nothing to do with what we call God...period.
Religious text, however - at least the text that has not been dramatically altered - does carry with it some truth, and yet it is mostly to be taken metaphorically.
In the same way alchemy is supposed to be taken metaphorically.
Religious texts, such as the bible, have much wisdom to offer us.
Yet religion in itself is just an institution which takes this text, and alters it for its own purposes.
Religions such as modern christianity tell us that "God" is a higher dimensional human-like being named "Jesus"; and tell us to bow down to this figure because he is the true God.
However, the letter J was invented in the 1600's , and the man mentioned in the bible who many think of as "Jesus Christ" is actually mentioned as "Yeshua" or "Ben Yosef" , and was called "Hamashiach", meaning "the christed one". The word Christ means anointed, and to be anointed was to be initiated into an order or mystery school, symbolized by having oil rubbed on ones forehead.
If we take the idea of "God" and add on all of our human aspects, of course we will end up with a deity, who probably looks human.
Now, what we have just created in our minds is a deity. We have taken our 3D understanding and applied it unto something that is most high, something that is a part of ourselves (and everything), yet is the highest aspect of all of existence, and so couldn't possibly be a physical being.
I would describe God as a kind of living intelligence, that makes up and is all things....and, to be honest, I wouldn't use the name "God" to describe it.
In Exodus 3:9 - 19, King James Version, Moses asks God what to call himself so that he may be trusted as one who hath speaketh unto God by the Jewish children of egypt, so that he may lead them to their safety, as the Jews are often misplaced.
God, who has appeared to Moses as a light, as a "burning bush", tells Moses "I AM THAT I AM"
What does this mean?
God is saying "I AM", and at the same time God is saying "I AM ALL THAT I AM" , I AM THAT I AM.
Meaning that God is.
God just is.
Everything that we can experience is this same isness, is it not?
Meaning that God is in everything, and is the substance which everything consists of.
God is just conscious energy - high vibrational energy; Akashic intelligence, or the intelligence of the omniverse which lives in each particle.
In the Kybalion, three initiates tell us that " God is infinite living mind....the illumined call it spirit"
God is Infinite Living MInd.
Think about that.
The universe is mental, and God is infinite living mind, or spirit.
God Is not some face in the sky - God is the force which dreamed up the sky, the force which dreamt up space and time...Infinite living mind.
Simultaneously, God is also in the particles which make up the sky.
God is in everything, as a part of God; as Gods dream.
Yet there is also an aspect of God which is Intelligence that is the dreamer.
This is the Infinite Living Mind which dreams up universes.
......And there is a part of you that is God....the real part of you...there is also a part of you that is ego....and that part is the illusion....
To conclude,
It would seem that God is some kind of mysterious force which we know little about, but it is definitely not a man in the sky, and it is something that can be experienced.
So if you are still asking "what is God", just look inside yourself - the kingdom of God awaits you.
Essentially, God is very real, and is the original cause - the ultimate reality.
