God's Essence defies comprehension thus the scientific pursuit to unravel God might remain fruitless contrary to the image of an entity with human-like attributes sitting on a throne as often depicted God encompasses everything its Core Essence resides within you however your ego's overwhelming presence overshadows this connection obscuring your awareness of God the ego creates a divide between you and the Divine attributing numerous human-like traits to God and personifying it this has led to the portrayal of God as an external entity complete with an ego capable of judgment and harm observing various cultural mythologies and religious deities you'll notice an egoic resemblance in each representation of God this perspective stems from ego's attempt to Fathom the unfathomable essence of God just as Joseph Murphy insightfully States God is not a person or being God is not a thing God is not a force God is not a concept God is an experience this holds one of the most profound spiritual

the act of bringing forth something new positioned at the Forefront of creation we as individuals and collectively contribute to the formation of Novel Dimensions using our combined cognitive power in each passing moment our thoughts and emotions contribute to the birth of fresh realities the essence lies in realizing that God isn't found through an exhaustive external search by turning your focus inward within yourself what you discover when you seek God within is yet another creation of God the presence of God becomes more apparent when your mind is tranquil and free of distractions when you're fully present in the moment God is here God's Delight mirrors your contentment and God's joy resonates with your happiness however it's crucial not to confuse fleeting ego-driven Pleasures with the profound pleasure of God Experiencing God requires transcending the illusion of separation while God is always present your ego's belief in division can distort the encounter or reshape it
