Energy...
But, because people usually demand a beginning...
In the beginning there was a sea of spirit and it filled all of space. The spirit was static, content, and aware of itself. It was a giant resting on the bosom of its thought and contemplating what it is. Then the spirit moved into action. It withdrew into itself until all of space was empty. In the center, the restless mind of the spirit shone. This was the beginning of the individuality of the spirit. This was what the spirit discovered itself to be when it awakened. This spirit was God.
God desired self-expression and desired companionship; therefore, God projected the cosmos and souls. The cosmos was built with music, arithmetic, geometry, harmony, system, and balance. The building blocks were all of the same material - the life essence. It was the power of God that changed the length of its wave and the rate of its vibration which created the patterns for multitudes of forms. This action resulted in the law of diversity which supplied endless patterns. God played on this law of diversity as a pianist plays on a piano - producing melodies and arranging them in a symphony. Each design carried within it the plan for its evolution. This plan corresponds to the sound of a note struck on a piano. The sounds of several notes unite to make a chord; chords in turn become phrases; phrases become melodies; melodies intermingle and move back and forth, across and between and around each other, to make a symphony. Then in the end, the music will stop and the physical universe will be no more; but between the beginning and the finish of the music there was glorious beauty and a glorious experience. The spiritual universe will continue. Everything assumed its design in various forms and their activity resulted in the law of attraction and repulsion. All forms would attract and repel each other in their evolutionary dance.
All things are a part of God and an expression of God's thought. The Mind of God was the force which propelled and perpetuated these thoughts. All minds, as thoughts of God, do everything God imagined. Everything that came into being is an aspect of the One Mind.

I like this question. Maybe people should focus on this instead of spouting off Bible verses or tearing each other to shreds in the name of this "God."
Because really, "god" is such an abstract idea, it could be anything. I'm an atheist; I don't believe in any deities or omnipotent powers. But I do believe in a human transcendence and love, and couldn't that be "god" too?
Stop thinking you own the idea of God, everyone.

God is a concept. Different people have vastly different beliefs about what the word means, if indeed it means anything at all. When you capitalize the word, you imply that you are adopting the monotheistic view: God as a name of a single entity, rather than god (and goddess) as descriptive terms for a great many entities.
Other than that, it most definitely depends on who you ask. When you ask me, I say it is an abstract concept.

Beyond your thought process! Beyond the reigns of mind! Beyond the form of the world!
God is Good! All Good things come from God!

The essence of love, life, and being.
God is everything, to everyone, at any time.
The exact relationship with God is up for each individual to personalize for themselves, and the concept of God for each to their own understanding.

That guy on the cover of the My Fair Lady cast album. He looks kind of like George Bernard Shaw.
