God is not a spiritual being. “God” is the name bestowed upon a psychological process that is experienced/known by every living thing. This process is also known as “Psyche,” “Tao,” “Flow,” “Intuition,” “Atman,” “Brahman,” Etc., and is experienced as Presence, Intuition, Guide, Director, Peace, Aid, Etc. “God,” “Psyche,” et al, are just alternative ways of thinking about spiritual experiences. And are where we tend to turn in time of trouble, where go to be comforted, guided, directed, encouraged, reassured, etc. They are where we go for comfort and consolation, balance and harmony. To be stabilized, made fit for what is being asked of us and returned to action.
God, Psyche, Tao, etc., is/are as close as emptiness, stillness, silence (One thing, not three), and are the source of all of our insight, realization, enlightenment, awareness, understanding, comprehension, knowing, grasping, getting it, “being born again,” etc.
I do not know why this is not explained to us early on in our life. It would likely make quite a difference for the better on all levels.
