Dear Djwajih: I had felt the Holy Spirit - the Voice for God - when I was a young adult. This was one particular experience. But I never felt the Presence of God - our Creator - until the Memory of Him was brought forth - inside of me. It took both an experience and then a particular reading to cause me to remember the Father; a physical experience of Him that brought me to Know. . .
There was, in San Diego, a Seminar offered for two days, that was called "The Christ Conscious-ness." When I got home from that I had my first of several experiences of God's love. The first time, I was at a sink cleaning my face in the morning, when suddenly a strong feeling of ecstatic love washed over me. It's strength and power were so great I actually felt my knees bend. I could not stand upright. I was not kneeling - but I was bent over and my knees were bent a little also. This was a feeling of such love - but not the type of love we humans feel and experience. It was so divine. I thought if it got any stronger, I might die from the experience of it!
The reading came after that. "I have within me the memory of You. . .I would love my own Identity, and find in It the memory of You."
"In You Time disappears. . .For what surrounds [me] and keeps me safe is Love Itself."

nope. I'm atheist. for the unknown:
Atheism, in its broadest sense, is a lack of belief in a deity or deities: the opposite of theism. This encompasses both people who assert that there are no gods and those who make no claim about whether gods exist or not. Narrower definitions of atheism typically regard as atheists only those people who assert the nonexistence of gods, leaving other nonbelievers classified as agnostics or non-theists.
Although many of those who identify themselves as atheists share a common skeptical attitude regarding spiritual or supernatural claims, atheistic beliefs may derive from a variety of personal, philosophical, social, and historical rationales. While there is a tendency among self-described atheists toward secular philosophies such as humanism, naturalism and materialism, there is no single system of philosophy to which all atheists can be said to adhere, nor does atheism have any institutionalized rituals or behaviors.

OH yeah. The most prominent times are when I feel like I simply cannot live and that my life is pointless. Thats when God says "Hey, I LOVE you, and you are wonderful and beautiful. With me, all things are possible." I can't tell you how important and reassuring those times are. I would not want to live my life without God's presence!

I've Ran from my religion because of embarrassment, came back to it because of beliefs.
G-d came back into my life and cleaned me up, made me whole. Answered my prayers.
So, in answer to your question, Yes-G-d DOES exist.
HaShem is one - one is HaShem.

No. I am unable to sense a higher power, so I don't believe in one. Most religions promise that god will allow you to know he exists, and since I don't, and never have, all religions that promise this are incorrect.

If I ever had that thought, I would wonder where my years of proper grammar had failed me.
Though I thought I had that feeling when I was younger, I have never had that experience, nor expect to.

No, but my stomach routinely tells me I'm hungry. My heart doesn't seem to say much at all. It just goes thump, thump, thump....
