God is, was, and will be everywhere (infinite, within and without everything and every being), every time (eternal, in another words - timeless, because for Him every time is Now), without any beginning, and without any end, all-knowing and all-powerful, enclosing everything and every being within Himself, manifested and unmanifested together. To know God means to know Him with the power that knows, which is certainly not the mind! So the first task is to know the knower! To know the knower means to pay attention to everything and phenomenon within and without and every activity of the mind and body as a pure watcher and achieve freedom from uncontrolled physical and mental activities and from past and future concerns - in short living everywhere and every time Here and Now, feeling connected to the inner being and Him.

Many questions were asked in the ancient Hindu texts about
the nature of Parama Atama (infinite soul, or Almighty) and
Atma (soul). In the olden days, Gurus used to put these
questions to disciples to test their knowledge.
What is the constituent material of Almighty? All created
materials are subject to decay and annihilation, Almighty
is above the influence of decay and annihilation. He
is eternal.
Then is Almighty a void? In terms of material
characteristics, Almighty is void (Soonya).
Can this lead to the logic that Almighty is not there?
No. Almighty is there. He is consciousness, the infinite
consciousness. The Atma which is a finite piece of Almighty,
according to Advaita Vedanta - the personal consciousness.
Soul was created in the likeness of Infinite Soul.
Since Atma is only a minute piece of Almighty, is it
subjected to annihilation? No. Atma is also eternal.

Simple: my concept of God is myself. And yes, I do mean that I am a god. In reality, we are all gods, we just have to realize it.
Let me explain. There are two great forces in the universe. The lesser force is belief. Gods exist because we believe in them. It is not unreasonable to say that any god or goddess anyone has ever put any small amount of belief into must exist, because, after all, someone believes in them. Millions of people believe in some form of the Christian god, and they pray to it to ask for it's favor. "Give me *whatever thing that person wants*, and I'll believe in you even more."
That leads me to the greatest force in the universe, Will. As in: My Will be done. With Will, you don't have to ask some "greater power" to do something for you, you go and do it yourself. If you need help, you can pray to a god: "hey, I want this, you want this, lets work together to make it happen." It is through Will that I am a god. Although, it also helps to have people who believe in you.
Everyone is a god. They just have to realize it first.

Created by our primitive barbarian ancestors to explain the unknown universe around them....using CAVE MAN logic of course. This happened around 60,000 years ago, which corresponds to the time period where archeologists have found evidence of ceremonial burials for the first time among us homo sapiens...

The Creator. Everything you see touch taste, smell, hear, and everything you don't know about GOD CREATED.
I haven't the imagination to envelope all of that into my wee mind and brain but I do understand that there is no definitive answer to your question.

Nice question!
God is Law. There will be only one law, eternal and unchangeable, binding at all times upon all people, and there will be, as it were, the common master, and ruler of men, namely God.
God is the author of the law, its interpreter and its sponsor.
Thanks for asking. Have a great day!
