God#1 Non-theistic (tao, brahman, nirvana, etc. Qm the field, Bewusstsein) Airy-fairy but tolle is gateway drug to this kind of conciencness Experienced in the everyday. In every encounter.
- infinite
God#2 Theistic Experienced in mystic experience. Like meditation, psychedelics, breath work, chanting, walk in nature etc.
- particular
looking at god does not make you see god but it keeps you changing as you keep focusing on god
This brings me closer to god. I once had a relationship going but left it because it felt twisted. I am looking at this past selflet of me that related to god, it gave me assurence and hope. hm maybe also partially a posture towards latent potential, hard to say. So i felt weak and stupid me with that relation going. Unscientific, childish, needy and it was an unexermined read-to-hand god. Made god a construct of the mind and so was not part of my quality anymore. Slowly making contact with the contruct but a seemingly unbridgeable barrier to bring god back was there. The inpersonal and the personal god, mirrorying the split a me. The inpersonal god as this real thing and the personal god as just wishful thinking. discarting it as meaning a lack of somekind in me. So maybe opening up to god again but this time facing the whole, feeling personally touched, sensing the "I"-like thing.
