Enrico I've put together a little poll in the Christian sub-forum to find out how people think of God/gods. It would be interesting for me to know if any of my five categories fit what you have in mind. I'm guessing you would say God is something one discovers when they study the intuitional sciences (are there more than one?), but that is more about how to discover God than what He is. What do you think God is?

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke.

What do you think God is? In the past i already said what i think about God and i said it only when someone ask me. Considering the low understanding about God in this forum there is no point in elaborating too much however if you ask me i am quite glad to reply. First of all i will reply here and not in your sub-forum and the reason is that i try to post only in one thread or two as the time is not there to get engaged in so many thread and also i regard the quality more then the quantity. My average posts is less then two a day while some people write 20 post a day. I can not see the point in writing so much when most of it is simple garbage. One thing that an atheist will never understand is that God is within and not external so the evidence can only come from within. Of course the universe is a God creation so it is also part of God but being a metamorphosis of his pure spirit into something crude ( matter, water, light and heat, air and space ) is not the way to understand him. To understand him you don't have to go very far as he is within. Being within is also you and to understand this reality you need intuitional practices. But intuitional practices are not the only way to realize who you really are. Sarkar said that the greatest way to realize who you are and become one with the whole (God) is to dedicate yourself for the welfare of other but this is not so easily done considering the difficulties of surviving the daily life. The yoga symbol or pratik give an idea what you got to do to being victorious in your search for human emancipation. ![[Image: pratik-south-india-ashram-cc-premasagar-200.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.religionfacts.com%2Fhinduism%2Fimages%2Fsymbols%2Fpratik-south-india-ashram-cc-premasagar-200.jpg) The pratik symbol consists of the following elements: upward-pointing triangle representing one's external actions (social service) downward-pointing triangle symbolizing one's internal work (meditation, self-realization) rising sun symbolizing spiritual progress through the balance of external and internal efforts swastika representing fulfillment or one's ultimate spiritual goal So to answer your question i will say.......God is you.

Your reputation is all gone (if you ever had one) when you said that you salivate at the sight of raw meat. But don't think too much yet. The problem will come later on in a future reincarnation. If your statement is not the usual bullshit just to contradict me then you are in a lot of hard time. Mother nature always put the pieces that compose a mosaic in the right place so if you really salivate for raw meat then you may well be reborn in a carnivorous animal body and all the progress that you have done so far to become an human being will be gone. And the climb to get human again will start once again. What a waste boy.  hock:
