If for example you experience God as a expression of Love, then that is what is God; Love. If Love is part of morality, Then that's part of God as well. This is what i meant by God having multiple definitions.
Personal experience is a mind state whether they're interpreted with God or without. The only way we can ask ourselves if the experience is casiustry or if it' real, is if we think were experiencing something outside our mind or soul. Think of trying to categorize a experience or explaining it, like it was from God, when actually your talking about a concept. The concept that your trying to explain is infinite and so is God. This is why they're connected; identical to the ground of being. Our concepts are not God though(concept being trying to explain the experience we had), God is infinite. The concept itself is valuable and trying to define it can help but is hard.
We all think our deepest thoughts, desires, and commotion has a self behind it. But when we are just in a state of knowing that someone disappears. We move to a state of ethereal. And God doesn't have a self.
Many people argue that mystical experiences should be considered perceptions of God like physical objects in ordinary sense.
