Asanb, that does not answer my question.

I answered the question, but in truth the question is irrelevant. "God is a personality" for those who need to believe it. Most definitions of "God" speak more of the definer than the defined. Why do we need God to be a "person"? For your convenience? God is awareness, love, attention, consciousness, ............. Light, Music........

This is where trying to explain a spiritual being in a physical sense has limits KB. We bring things down to what we can relate too. We give it characteristic traits in our descriptions to bring into a physical level we can relate and understand. That doesn't make that being physical though its just our perception.

I believe she has stated that she is christian.

Are you an atheist, agnostic, Hindu or what? If God were not a personality there would be no personalities.

If God was not a personality but rather just a impersonal it, force or power such a impersonal it would not be concerned with creature love or conduct.

Kb, you ignore the larger concept and pick away at silly details. Is God a concept with a set of specifications that are unalterable? Is it so important that everyone agree with your perceptions? Why is your concept of God "correct", and everyone Else's wrong? What does that say about you and the God you worship?

Quote from asanb: Because "believe" isn't important.

That's just stupid. If you don't believe in anything why do you listen to your gurus and practice meditation?

What larger concept are you talking about?

What specifications are you talking about?
When did you start speaking for everyone else?
What does what say about me and the God I worship?

You say a lot of nothing and for the most part it is to ambiguous to reply to.

If God was not a personality but rather as you assert just a impersonal it, force or power such a impersonal it would not be concerned with creature love or conduct and your meditative destination would be to become likewise. Is that your goal, asanb? To become and impersonal it that doesn't love or care about anyone?

Because it delivers real results that can be seen and heard, not "believed", Known.

Are you telling me you do not believe in the Fatherhood of God that Jesus taught? And you never say the Lord's prayer? God doesn't have to see my body to know me for a fragment of God dwells within the mind of every normal minded human being and He knows mine and everyone else's thoughts.

Food for thought:

1:5.1 (27.3) Do not permit the magnitude of God, his infinity, either to obscure or eclipse his personality. “He who planned the ear, shall he not hear? He who formed the eye, shall he not see?” The Universal Father is the acme of divine personality; he is the origin and destiny of personality throughout all creation. God is both infinite and personal; he is an infinite personality. The Father is truly a personality, notwithstanding that the infinity of his person places him forever beyond the full comprehension of material and finite beings. *

1:5.2 (27.4) God is much more than a personality as personality is understood by the human mind; he is even far more than any possible concept of a superpersonality. But it is utterly futile to discuss such incomprehensible concepts of divine personality with the minds of material creatures whose maximum concept of the reality of being consists in the idea and ideal of personality. The material creature’s highest possible concept of the Universal Creator is embraced within the spiritual ideals of the exalted idea of divine personality. Therefore, although you may know that God must be much more than the human conception of personality, you equally well know that the Universal Father cannot possibly be anything less than an eternal, infinite, true, good, and beautiful personality.

You don't think it important to believe in a God who can give continuity of life after death for those who believe?

Do you "know" God doesn't exist?

Revelation is a more important word than Believe. It's about discovering or uncovering a truth that already exists. TUB, the book of Mormon, The Koran, and the Bible are all supposed to be written about revelations. The truth of them may or may not be accurate or meaningful to the reader or the listener. The Important part is this: They are someone else's Revelation. Knowing them, studying them, revering them, may have impact on the theology or perspective of the reader, BUT; They are someone else's revelation. And if you try to insist that they are your own revelation, you are lying to yourself and the reality within you that you call God. This is where most institutional religions fail. They attempt to substitute "belief" for the hard truth and Journey of spirituality that leads to personal revelation.

Stunningly accurate Asnab! Very well put..

Ah I do love a good laugh , thanks

The record is skipping and the tune is the same. Can you change the record?
I have said plenty about my methods, goals and aspirations. If you can't perceive them perhaps you might consider re-reading and applying some logic and common intellect to my posts.

Why don't you stop evading and answer my question?

Because your questions are unsubstantial meaningless invitations to argument. I've said enough.

For the life of me I don't understand how you could reach the conclusions about me you say in your post. Of course, the physical body dies, returns to the elements from which it came. And you can take nothing with you to the next life but the developed character of your evolving soul/personality. God is Spirit and life is a spiritual as well as a physical event and I have never indicated I believe anything but this so please think more carefully about what I say and when necessary quote what I say and ask a question or two BEFORE you come out lambasting me with such erroneous and unwarranted post comments as you make in your above post. Thank you. I would appreciate it.

I have a hard time when people misrepresent my beliefs. Do you believe God is an impersonal it that doesn't care what anyone thinks or does as asanb has said he does? If I question asnab as I have in the post above and ask him to answer my question how is it your eyes you see me in a "mental box"? As a Christian don't you think his perception of God is wrong? Are you afraid to question him about it? Or do you want to just attempt to belittle those who do? I am not trying to limit God in the least. Where the heck to you get that from? Take the beam out of your eyes and quote something I have said that indicates I am limiting God. Asanb's "vision of God" is ridiculous as my post and question to him in my above post points out and that's why he consistently evades honestly answering it.
