For me...to watch the sky, the birds, the cats, my self and everything around...is enough revelation of God´s existance.

Most Christian theologies believe God can be known through both Special and General revelation.
Special revelation affirms the value of general revelation.
1. General Revelation
General revelation refers to that revelation that comes from the universe around and from history (see Psalm 19:1-6, Romans 1:19-20, Psalm 8:13, Isaiah 40:12-14, 26, Acts 14:15-17, 17:24- 28) It reveals such matters as the wisdom, power, and glory of God (Romans 1:20)
2. Special Revelation
Special revelation comes by means of miracles, direct communication, the incarnation, and finally, through scripture. Scripture is the principle way by which God currently reveals himself to human beings, and it is the final judge and arbiter, the final authority of all such communication, general or special.

Evolutionary Track
Aside from the occasional trysts with fate and the serendipitous encounters with fortune, I'd say that I have stayed pretty much on the same path as most humans. It seems that my destiny may be aligned with that of most mortals, who by the way, during my latest journey, I had learned much from. What I hope they have learned from me is the sanctity of Love, Understanding, Good Will and of course, the most difficult for those of flesh and blood - Forgiveness.
As it is with most of my stays here, I'm not in the position to criticize nor challenge although what I see at times provides me impetus to offer what I'd been given - Reason. Just as I had written not so long ago:
I have Reason, I have Rhyme
Pondering my thoughts,
Throughout the eons of time
Many times we are posed a question, so simple yet the most difficult to answer: Why am I here? Ah, because you belong. Simple enough an answer and it really needs no further explanation . . .
You know, I rely on you as much as you rely on me and the symbiotic nature of our relationship provides the universe with balance, although at times, it may not appear to be so . . .
Life to me, an open book
with each page, I learn something new
Yet, I await the final
the most revealing clue
Perhaps, when our fates are decided, would we learn the truth . . . eternity it beckons, so I had heard as I stood sentry-like against the winds of time . . .
Far in the distance, perhaps another void
a place where my existence
can never be destroyed

God's creative power can be known about through nature. He can be characteristically known through His word (the bible), and He can be known personally through a spiritual rebirth which occurs by salvation through Jesus Christ.
My reason for this answer is that I have surveyed and studied all of the other major belief systems the world offers (including atheism), and this one is the most reasonable, the most practical, and the most logical. On top of that, I have hope (which none of the others offer), and the promise of eternal life with Him.

Yes, because humanity cannot break through to God on their own or through "special meditation". Only God can break in to our experience. It essentially means that most aimless meditations in search of unknown spirits leads inevitably to the devil and his angels who are known in Christianity for being deceptive "angels of light" and bring false peace. God knows when you are searching for him and when you have your own "power" agenda as with many eastern mystics.
If matter is made up of 10 dimensions, why can't we see the other 6 ? We see only 3 dimensions and time. Spirits are not limited by time as we are, they can see everything ahead of time and that is what they(evil spirits) present to psychics and those dabbling in the occult as well as paranormal "researchers". Many of these do not understand that their experiences are contaminated, even if observed scientifically.
Seek God and He will reveal Himself to you. Seek the god and goddess of an idol and there is someone else, a deceiver who will answer because he craves worship and plays games with humanity intent on eventual destruction.

God is known by every good feeling one recieves, when they recieve it. Wether one calls it God , while they are Happy or not, does not matter. The fact that they experience a feeling that is so good, shows they know God.
Even the one whom never smiles, never laughs, never appreciates , knows God, for they live ,and walk, or talk, or see, by free will of there own.
So they enjoy the free will that was given to them by god.

God provided one means of coming to know Him - the Church He founded for all mankind, the Church which the Bible calls "the pillar and foundation of truth". No-one can come to the fullness of truth about God except through the teaching of His Church.
