Do you know God?

I have asked this question from many people with all different backgrounds, cultures and religious beliefs. I have received several answers back. Some responded that they don't believe in God. However, I have heard them saying: "Oh, my God," in many occassions. My best friend asks this question from all people: "If you don't believe in God, why do you have to then put a label on it and call it something? Doesn't this action by default proves that there is something out there called "God?"
If you strongly believe that God does exist or doesn't exist at all, read this aritcle. Then you will know that there is such a thing as "A Whole In ONE" or "GOD." (Please send your opinion. For or against! We love to see both. Thanks!) Some other people said: "Of course." Some responded that they have studied about it and referred to their religious books or their teachers from their childhood and school and so on. Some other responded that God was nothing but an idea to control people to one's benefit, a political excuse.

They all had one thing in common, regardless of what religion or belief they were holding: They all believed in this higher power, cause, reason, process, nature, accident or something that must have existed, still exists and will allways be there.
They also have another point of view in common. They FEAR GOD! They sacrifice for their Gods. Some cult's rituals are based on some sacred actions that causes fearful emotions to flow inside human body, just to make it look more unholy. However, their level of pratice and gifted abilities are important to reach a certain level. It seems like God,He/she/it is always angry and ready to punish us in the worst ways we could ever imagine! Even the earth is so mad at us that is ready to blow to just get rid of human race at once.
To tell you the truth, with all the negativity that is going on here on earth, I wouldn't be surprized if Earth did just that! According to most teachings and beliefs, we are either here on earth to live just like other animals, or we were born as sinners and we have a life time to correct ourselves. We also have been taught that we are carrying our past lives mistakes and by suffering in this life time we are evolving to reach the Nirvana or enlightenment. Some suggest that, we are always guilty, we are constantly beign punished and last but not least, we are by default, up for that everlasting torture and painful treatments in a horrible place known as HELL, unless God forgives us!
May GOD forgives us all, sinners and saints! I have had about consiously speaking, 21 years of research and experience with different sciences, religions and beliefs that would introduce ways to reach to the "Maghsood" or "Nirvana". To find the answers to three questions:

1. Where have I come from?
2. Why am I here?
3. Where am I going?

I looked through and studied those available while still in Iran such as Islam, Soufism, Transcendental Meditation, Zen, Native American Ways of Wisdom, Sai Baba's teachings. Later on in Canada, I became more in depth familiar with Christianity, Judism, Buddhism and cults such as Baha'aism. My purpose was to find the GOD of Gods that all prophets talked about. The ONE and ONLY GOD the GOD of Nova, Iseah, David, Moses, Juses and Mohammad!

The law of physics explains that beyond the whole Universe, there has to be some sort of energy to hold it all to gether. Could that energy be considered as God?

Albert Einstein said: " I want to know what God's thoughts are, the rest are details!" This "MUST BE THERE" being has thoughts. As in the Quran - The holy book of Islam - says: "God just thinks of something to be, and there it is!"

Having said all the above, it is obvious that GOD or the energy who is everywhere as the cause of everything that we know, has been created by us in different formats, shapes and has certain rules and regulations for each nation on earth. Based on where we are born, the environment we grow up in. However, the teachings and clutures in each environment that defines our understanding of God are different.

Let's put it this way:

God, the one that I am talking about here, is: The CREATOR of the Creator and the Created.

Why do I call it "God?" Because this name "GOD" has been given to the most perfect one of all. The BRIGHT SIDE of power. The never ending. I have faith in this God. God is the DIVINE. Where "Evil" acts backwards and becomes "LIVE!" Where God is Life and life is all about giving and recieving in such sweet and smooth balance that we and all other spiecies, beings and energies as the multipications of such an intelligence, could become and live in harmoney. GOD IS ALL THERE IS!

So let us all understand this! At the end of any path, religion, cult, belief, ritual or "nothing", as a way of life, you will meet GOD. This is where you started and where you will end. Muslem or Bahai, Christian or Jewish, Hindu, Budhist, Soufi, Kabalist, Satanist or Athiest, we all will end up to rejoice with the same stuff which is within us, around us and is here, there and in the space in between: "GOD." YES. THERE IS A GOD!

And once you meet God, you relaize that God is not angry with you, God is not punishing you, God has not abandoned you. God has always been there with you. During the worst and the happiest times of your lives.
You know it! Be honest with yourself. "Everyone has a story that can break and burst your heart!"

This is the final point of acheivements in all enlightening teachings. Spiritual practices, religions, beliefs. It is now all up to us to decide where we are REALLY headed! NOW IS THE TIME TO KNOW WHO WE REALLY ARE, ONCE AGAIN!

You pick what makes sense to you. After all, it doesn't really matter what label we put on it, GOD will always and all ways be there, whether we acknowledge it or not. God loves us, guides us and shows us where we are going. Always and All-ways.

Mr. Neil Donald Walsh put's in a very appropriate way in his "Conversations with God" Trilogy. God says: "It's as if you want to go to Seattle, but you are headed to Miami. We can just show you the way to where you say you want to go."

God is now here for us. The one for you and me! Yes. The Greator of creators of the "666" is the same creator. The GOD of Moses, Jesus and Mohammad and all the cults and other religions out there and the 666 itself. Do you think Satan could even be there without GOD?

Let's accept God's inivitation. What do we have to loose? All we have to do really is to remember who we REALLY are? (Check out your list.) Let's ASK GOD TO HELP US KNOW GOD. For the last time! The beauty about this technique is that, you don't have to do anything. When the right time arrives, you'll find yourself at the right place and with the right person, remembering God for no specific reason.

Remember, you don't have to do anything. Just be open to God's invitation and pay attention to the voices you hear or words you read or even your thoughts. Give this begining and end, the alpha and the omega, the visible and invisible, the one who truely knows what is going on, a chance. Get to know God the way you like God to be known to you. Be open to acceptance and acknowledge God's gift. This is one of the many. If you are still reading this, you have already accepted the invitation of God!

Let's analyze this statement. God or whatever we want to call it, is the cause for us being here now, and it has been created by us. Us, human beings on earth, based on our geogrphic and surrondings to serve our purposes on earth as human beings. It is also part of our real human nature to look for the cause. A root cause analyst used to make about 75K a year in avarage. One of many human talents. There are no laws in the universe to prohibit us from research or questioning the causes or affects! In fact looking at the situation with flexibility helps a root cause analysts to pin point the problem at the first step, and starts the required changes effectively and promptly. GOD has created us and all the Universes and creatures. Has given us the authority to choose. We are the MASTERS of OUR DOMAINS!

Having that in mind, remember that everyone's unique. You might find some other way to help you get to know God again. A way that fits you and your idology.

"God is all there is!"

God is the mastermind behind this whole process we call "life." We would certainly need a daily habit of some kind to remind us of God during the day and night. Just like our lunch break or cigarette breaks, let's "REMEMBER GOD" on daily basis.

Remeber, God wants for you what YOU WANT FOR YOU! God is the REFLECTION of your requests and choices of being who you say you are all the time.

At this point make a list. Effortlessly, just try and remember all about how merciful the most amazing being could be? Once you reached a point that you could not go further, then sit back and review your list. i.e.: The most amazing being is kind and loving. Then ask yourself this question:

"God is kind and loving. Is God loving and kind enough to forgive me?" Knowing that there is nothing but "God" and you are a part of all that there is and knowing that the answer is "YES", CHOOSE how kind and loving would YOU choose to be now?

God becomes your role model, your goal, your conscious choice and your are headed towards where you say are going: "Love, Health, happiness and wealth!"

Ask all your questions. The anwers are within you and the more knowledge you have, the more answers you get. Use all your senses, because your answers might be in anything around and within you. Be patient and don't make the answer your immediate priority. Unless you choose to.

So, now you know how get to know God again. Let's Know him as the one who does not have any preferences what so ever. Who doesn't have any plans to torture or to punish anyone. The one who knows all about us. Everything that we know and only we are aware of it. The one who is as close to us as the voice in our heads. As deep inside of us as in our hearts. However, instead of having this fear that s/he (based on our genders or preferences) might punish us or never forgive us for what we have done, actually, never stoped loving us! To know that there is nothing we can do to harm him/her. There is nothing we might do to disappoint him/her. That GOD wants for us what we want for us, unconditionally and all the way. The one who will always love us, always and all ways.

Now it doesn't mean to get out and do what the heck ever you want to do because God will never punish you! Remember your committment! If an action does not serve you or someone else, it is not supposed to be done, however the reverse must be implemented. If an action does serve you, your society and others, don't hesiste to take action! Be Wise! Be the cause of a positive effect in humanity regardless of your religion, ethnic back ground or culture. We are all one big family on Earth.

I am certain that everyone might have heard of some kind of a horror story about someone or something that has done a horrible thing and got punished with death sentence, because what s/he did, did not serve him/her, the society and other people.

Live beneficially, harmoniously and you will receive! That is when you will realize that God is so close to you that you can literally talk to him and hear her talking back to you!

God is the most greatest loving, caring, friendly and fun to be with being who is experiencing life, through us! We choose to create ourselves anew in every moment of NOW, to become the grandest version of the greatest vision ever we have held about Who We Really Are! that is who God is! You want to know God and his/her habits, get to know yourself and don't be shy about it! Own all of you. All the good and bad. Because bad, in some other places on earth is good and vice versa. Because the "God" you get to know now, has no preferences. God wants for you, what you REALLY want for you!

We are all one being, life is eternal and there is nothing we have to do, only what we choose to be!

We have all the tools we need to get to know God again and in a way that would work for each of us, our society and other people on earth! Let's use them! It works if you ask God to introduce her/himself to you! Don't be affraid and shy to think positive about God! She is the most amazing being you can ever imagine! Take a look at yourself and around you, see how amazing you are, the true you! God loves you! God hopes you love you, and I love you too.

Thank you for being!

Blessed Be!
