seen GOD? Is there not ONE who can say GOD has talked to them? I am not speaking of the delusional pretentious, making yourself believe rhetoric, how you or they talked with God. I am speaking of facing and looking at this world in an honest and truthful way.

Diane - Because I am looking for at least that "one person" who could HONESTLY describe God. Is that not a fair question since we have so many who swear by their belief in God? Surely they wouldn't worship something IMAGINARY. Would they?

That's correct. Because it is impossible, therefore not even ONE out of those 6 billion people can say truthfully they have done it. There is such a thing as an impossibility.

Other examples of impossible things:

-a genetic male giving birth (for our purposes, let's say that out of three BILLION men, not ONE on the planet can say they've given birth? The answer is no, they cannot.)

-a human breathing underwater without any sort of assistance or shelter (out of 6 BILLION people, not one on the planet can say they've breathed underwater without some assistance or shelter? The answer is no...because that's impossible.)

You see where I'm going with this.

First recognize that it is impossible to "see" God...then ask yourself this question again.

There is the scientific proof that 'God' exist. Or let's better say: If there is the scientific proof that 'God' exist, then how can this be proofed? I scientific can explain it, but then it depends totally on the person who receives the information, to understand the words used and to integrate them into ones own knowledge 'data bank', comparing it with the already stored information and being able to draw a result out of it. This needs a trained capability for which a non-scientific will not be able. So there's no way a scientific can reach one who might be familiar with some facts, but is not able to use a trained abstract thinking. So when one asks the scientific to explain the existence of ‘God’ then knowing that he can’t explain it to a non-scientific person, he will probably smile and say something trivial or nothing. Do you remember Albert Einstein? He seemed to be a simple believer like others, but he came to a realized experience because he had his scientific proof of ‘God’ even though not being able to share it.
Mathematics can explain the basics to a fife years old kid, but probably this is all, logarithm and other advanced levels are out of reach for the infant. A non-scientific is like a kid, even though grown up, is not capable to grasp any scientific information and also not about the existence of 'God' or whatever word one might use to describe the same...
Not yet clear? Then let me use another example: A three years old girl loves her doll and the same age old boy loves his teddy bear. For them this is not a toy, it is alive and helps them to go to sleep holding it in their arms and it will make that the child learns to have affections and starts to express them, taking care of the loved 'toy'. Take away the doll or the teddy bear and tell the child that this is not alive and only plastic and you might open the teddy and show that there's only wood wool in it. If you go further and rip of the head, then you can do serious damage, which can cause a trauma for all life and influence and disturb all kind of relationships in the adult future. So better leave the child with the belief that the teddy bear is real and alive. The child needs it for their personal development; the time will come when it will leave the teddy and change to practice the same having done with the toy then with people.
There is only one serious difference: The children will not get stuck and hold on their projections to their doll and teddy bear, but this is because it belongs to the growing cycle, while with ‘adults’ the holding on a belief or concept might last all life time, holding the individual in a frame of concepts and belief systems and the tragically side effect is, that the established concepts inhibit the realization of it. Unless one is really tired of ones worn out concepts, starts to be critical and questions oneself and every thing of one was influenced. Then realizing that one was dependent and even manipulated by others who had their benefit out of this. One might make a decision and take self-responsibility. One will come to this point through out the training of life, if not in this one then the next one…
It is for sure that there is a growing force within each of us, this is easy to understand just by observing nature around and then we will recognize it also within ourselves. We will be able to give space, trust it and then listen to it. We don’t need to give it a name, because then we have realized it by ‘being’ it and that’s the only real way to proof it for oneself.
There are ways to help oneself to open up and allow letting go of worn out conditions… I have already written about it here and you will find it looking for it…

I would venture to guess that none have "seen" God per se, but then again, the Abrahamic version of God makes it almost impossible to see him.

Ultimate Being, God, Krishna or whatever is his name is contained in the most minute atoms in the universe. This physical manifestation - including the ego-self - is his marginal energy. The closer to source you get, the farther from this physical world, or marginal energy, you go. Then it is not a matter of seeing or talking to God as all duality is absent once this state is achieved. This is enlightenment, Moksha or Nibanna.

God talks to us all through the language of inspiration. Inspiration, if you are well tuned in spiritually, can come from almost anywhere. The universal spirit, that holds the universe together as one, is always inspiring people, who are receptive. Pray/meditate, do mind-body exercises, eat healthy, don't overindulge, and maybe you might get some inspiration.

First of all GOD does not talk, neither does The Holy Spirit. They communicate telepathically. Yes, The Holy Spirit has communicated with me in more than one way but not verbally. She is a Spirit and cannot be seen with physical eyes. Jesus and The Holy Spirit are the only ones who know GOD up close and personal. That is the way it will remain until the wedding takes place described in the book of Revelation. That is when the bride of Christ, His church is presented to GOD for the very first time. Think about that! A once in eternity event that will be the ultimate of all events and you will be a fool to miss out when you don't have to.

Many people will mock at this question but the question is no different that what was asked of Jesus at his trial. They all wanted Jesus to "prove" his divine authority. You sound no different then them. If you are seeking "proof" then you should abandon you quest all together as religion is not a system of proof but of faith. God may be speaking through many...but are you listening??? What is important is the message...not the messanger.

I BELIEVE that I look at this world in an honest and 'truthful' way. I do NOT believe that experience is equivalent to having 'seen god' or having spoken with any god or gods.

How can you face the world in a truthful and honest way when none of us is honest and has little idea about truth?

Sorry, randomly curious. Suppose someone came up and said "Yes! I have seen God face to face." Would you believe him?

Given the tone of the question, and given most of the answers you have, I suspect you'd simply believe he was lying or delusional. If that is the case, then you'll accept no answer except "no". So why bother asking the question?

2007-11-06 17:06:12 · answer #10 · answered by Anonymous · 5 3

I'm sure there are a lot of people who can say that, but they probably woudn't be believed and almost surely wouldn't end up on television or radio programs for the rest of the world to become aware of their experience.

They'd be called schizophrenic. Makes you wonder just how many schizophrenics might just be hearing something that's real. You never know.
