If you have loved someone than you must have felt the existence of God. He is not present in any form so you can't see him. Ya! you can feel Him.

I used to not believe there was a god. I was content that everything was cause and effect. But the older I get, the more I experience in life, I believe there is a meaning to it all. If there is meaning then there is something greater than life itself. Simple miracles, the fact that we exist. The fact that our consciousness and identity, our soul so to speak, exists within this vessel of our body and mind is a miracle. The fact that our concious mind seems so much larger than the boundries of our brain. The fact that there are more synaptic connections within your mind than there are stars in our galaxy. The fact that the earth is precisely the proper distance from the sun so liquid water can exist. The fact that the moon which is disproportionately large for the size of our planet exists and keeps our planet stable on its axis as to not cause such a fluctuation in seasons that nothing bigger than bacteria could not live. The fact that water exhibits properties unlike any other element and cause ice to float instead of sinking as would be expected, so the oceans will not freeze over. The fact that with all these parameters being good for life, life did indeed arise. And even that life did arise, intelligent life arose. And not intelligence like a dolphin who bearing only flippers could not write a book or start a fire, we have opposable thumbs that allow us to manipulate the world around us. The fact that with emotion and intelligence, we have so many arts, crafts, love, hate, war, passion, ambition, desire, such a multitude and endless possibilities for mankind. All such remote probabilities 1:1000000000000000000000000000... of ever happening, did indeed happen. These are miracles. I'm not saying god himself created these things as the bible would say, but by some action he is with all of us. In the miracle of life and consciousness.
Ever had deja vu? A premonition? Experienced Karma? Experience a coincidence? What if they were not coincidences? Ever realize there is balance to every thing we do and do not do? These things are also improbably remote occurrences, YET they occur. If there is meaning then there is something greater of which we do not understand. To me god is energy. God is everywhere in us around us.
Even great thinkers like Einstein said pure intelligence would be pure energy. Funny, how energy and matter are interchangeable. How from a seemingly empty system, through theory of quantum mechanics, a system that was simply energy, could pop into existence, and form matter. That is something from "nothing."
Have I experienced God? I think we are all living it.

there is nothing but god - god is existence - god is everything - god is life - experience is god - everything is experience - no one has ever experienced anything but god - god is all that exists - the infinite by definition includes everything - the finite outside and the infinite inside, both are god
if god excluded the tiniest thing, god would be finite [ending] god would be limited, god would not be existence
god's name is I AM - ie, his essence is existence - his action is existing, his nature is existing, his 'thing' is existing - existence is god - what else is there? - nothing else exists
either god is existence, or god does not exist, or god is only part of existence, and then existence would be greater than god
'i laugh at those who seek god, as i would laugh at a fish in the ocean seeking for water'
what is more magical, powerful, amazing, brilliant, strange, wonderful than existence? - there is nothing else
thinking god is not identical with everything is a very popular error - the whole purpose of religion is to conquer this error - this error separates god and other things - the truth unites and equates god and everything - religion = re-ligio = rejoin [god and everything, god and man] - yoga aso means union or reunion - god and everything are not joined by rope or glue, they are rejoined by clearing away the error that they are separate, distinct
the error occurs because of idealising god - of seeking refuge from the imperfection of life in fantasy, idealisation - whereas the true way is seeing into and through the imperfection to seeing the perfection of the imperfection - the purpose of the imperfection [finite, temporal, accidentitious]is to reveal the perfection by contrast - that is the perfection of the imperfect
there is only one thing, and its names are many: existence, man, god, truth, energy, potential, infinity, joy, peace, bliss, etc, etc, etc - every noun in the dictionary is its name - every thing is in essence [not in appearance] the same thing - all is one - all is life, all is god, all is existence
this is the meaning of the yinyang sign - that the dynamic of opposites - good evil, yin yang - is existence is god is life

Yes I've "seen" and experienced god.I was fortunate enough to stand in god's perspective and perceive from that point of view and gasp with comprehension.

Yes, a short time after a near-death experience. I guess it took the guy with the baseball bat to open my sense and subdue my ego resistance. (He tried to kilI me with a hard blow to the face) Now I hear what I believe to be the voice of God directly. Although I can't share with you much of what God tells me, as it's highly personal, not to mention insulting to others' beliefs for me to tell them what God is saying (they have to learn to receive it themselves, me telling them what God says would amount to proselytizing) but, one thing I can relate is that when I first came to the ability to hear, I asked God, "So you're really there? You're real?"
And God said to me, "I will always be there, in the faces of everyone who loves you."
Thanks!

yes. when i close my eyes, and when i open them. when i drive my car to work, or when i walk in the park. when i surf the internet and when i answer this question. when i read this question and i think about it. god is everywhere, its the universal truth, its everything and nothing, only idiots can define god, as god is undefined my friend and so it or he or she will be for as long as i live. thats where i place my faith. not in a book. not in a pastor. not in an establishment. i place my faith in that which is undefined, because to me, that is what god is.
