god

Nice answer, sara03.

However, what I'm really asking is exactly how do you perceive your god physically in your mind's eye? When you pray to or worship your god, in what form does/do he/she/it/they appear to you?

Thanks a lot for participating in this discussion and Happy myLotting!;)

For me after my prayers and meditation he appears as Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, Lord Iyappa, as goddess, as Jesus, as Allah, as Buddha, as star and as fire.
I love and respect very religion.
God bless you.

Thanks a lot for ably clearing that out and God bless you, too!

Happy myLotting, sara!;)

The ample proof of existence of God is your father and mother. They are living for you and giving their life for your welfare.
God bless you.

Amen to that, sara!

Thanks a lot for that very insightful comment and Happy myLotting!;)

I know and understand where you're coming from, tines.

If I were to ask you, though, do you have a specific image of him, when you're praying to or worshiping him in solitude? If you do, what does he look like?

Thanks a lot in advance for fully answering my questions and Happy myLotting!;)

That's really an interesting answer, aowaow.

Just to be clearer, could you kindly elaborate, though?

Thanks a lot for your sharing and Happy myLotting!;)

Without intending to pry, in any way, SomethingGood332, may I ask what your religion is? By the way, did your conception of god as a wind start when you were still a kid? If not, when and how did such a usual representation come about?

Thanks a lot for trying to fully answer my question in a fairly clear manner and Happy myLotting!;)

I don't find it to be too prying of a question, but there is no simple answer. My grandfather is a Pentecostal preacher, on of the type that condemns you to Hell if you do not believe exactly as he does, and we were all expected to show up to church to represent the family, but I didn't truly believe the way of the Pentecostal Church. I was convinced that I would be damned to a Hell I didn't believe in by a vengeful God who is only benevolent to those of the Church. I decided that that couldn't possibly be right. My husband, who was my best friend growing up, and his mother are Wiccan, and that was a better fit, but still not quite right. To find the answer, I studied theology and religions; I know quite a bit about Catholicism, Lutheranism, Islam, Hinduism, Wicca, Paganism, the Greek Orthodox Church, Judaism, the Anglican Church, various denominations of Christianity, Buddhism, Santeria, San Greal, and various other religions from various other regions of the world. Everything seemed to fit a little, but nothing seemed to fit right. It was a Christian friend of mine, the type of religious person who will help you with your own Spiritual Walk, even if it differs from his own, who finally told me, "Don't worry about your beliefs fitting a particular church. You don't have to have an orthodox set of beliefs to be a devout person. Whether you belief in God, Zeus, or the Great Cosmic Banana [yes, that is a direct quote!], what matters is that you believe, that your beliefs do not infringe upon the rights of others to believe, and that you live your life according to those believes." After that, I never worried about identifying with a particular religion. I see my god in many different forms, though the wind is a gentle caress from a loving hand. If people press the issue of my beliefs too much and don't accept the above answer, or don't accept that it is none of their business, if that is the case, then I just tell them that I belong to the Church of the Great Cosmic Banana.

I totally agree with your friend's instructive statement that "what matters is that you believe, that your beliefs do not infringe upon the rights of others to believe, and that you live your life according to those believes," which essentially highlights the importance of respect and consistency in the practice of one's deeply held beliefs.

Given your post, I could really only imagine how spiritually enlightening your long yet fruitful journey may have actually been. I now better understand how your wind representation of the God you believe in came about.

Thanks a lot for your clear and exhaustive sharing of your personal religious experience!

Happy myLotting, SomethingGood!;)

Among all those who played the role of superman, though, particularly who resembles your god the most, buliangxianren?

Thanks a lot in advance for answering my query and Happy myLotting!;)

I'm quite sure that your view may perhaps, to a certain extent, have some merit to it.

Nevertheless, ravi, what I'm really simply asking is how precisely does/do your god/s look like when you visualize him/her/it/they? In your mind's eye, does/do he/she/it/they assume a human form, for instance, or not?

Thanks a lot in advance for your clarification and Happy myLotting!;)

Thanks a lot for your very clear and easily understandable answer to my question, cassidy22!

Very well said, musicman6! Given your post, I could only try to grasp how strong your personal convictions vis-a-vis the subject of this discussion truly are.
