Hello ACC members. I would want to know what you think about God in terms of whether God is equal and is same as we are or is God a superior being than us.
At first I thought of God to be superior than us because I was raised in a society which thought about the same. I wasn't convinced with what I was being taught and disagreed with most of the school of thoughts. So, I started to look for answers within myself (spirituality) and later came to the realization that we all are same and equal to God.
Yet, I would like to know what's your opinion about God and if you could tell as to why you think of God to be that way. (My apologies for the "late editing". When I asked for your opinions about God, I was only asking about whether God is same as us or is God superior or greater than us. And what makes you think if god is same as us or greater than us. I'm aware of the infinite nature of God, but I was not asking about that. Sorry, if you have misunderstood me.)
Thank You.

to describe God in words, it’s to limit Him. Language is limiting, as it can never fully relay the essence of experience. It reduces pure meaning to an approximation of experience. We use language to guide, offer insights and feeling on direction, however not Divine or Divinity itself.

We are part of the same stuff thats been here since beginig of time ,we are ONE .
we are parts of everything and we are there to experiance phisical incarnation because God plan was to experiance Himself.
we are here to remember who we are and we are equall to Him.
GOD it's like all of us, precisely the same
, BUT, There are many manipulations to "use" GOD to get the benefits of money ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
That's a wonderful explanation. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Could you tell whether that Source is a Superior one or is it equal to us?
...Depends On Your Perception Of God......Quite Frankly......................................................................If You Get Me...:)...
Thank You Sky for the reply. What's your perception about God in regards to whether God is greater than or equal to us?
An immeasurable amount of energy expanded to infinity; A single moment in time extended to eternity.
Thanks Lacuna very nicely said again. I completely agree with you. Ok, is God a Supreme being or is God just the same like we all are?
Hi Dinesh,
Thank you for posing this Question of all Questions!!!! My favourite topic. It is so huge I would urge you to contemplate it again and again and again and not come to any final 'conclusion;' after all that is the Joy the Mystery the ultimate Koan of it. Is it not in the end the same question as Who Am I?
I think most spiritual questions by definition as they are Meta-physical defy physical approaches and epistimologies like 'logic' so they always end up in Paradox or a species thereof. Like yesterday a friend accused me of being a Gnostic dualist but I said if I am a dualist I am Non dual dualist; for polarities, good and evil and such like always occur in the context of ultimacy Galactic Creator, Singularity Supreme Source Lord Almighty God Goddess, The Absolute etc. whatever name one chooses to give to the nameless. Thus I would also apply this 'not this or that' but 'This and That', to your question. Is God greater than or equal to 'us'. God is infinitely greater (as the spark is the fire, as cell is to the Body, how can the part be equal to the Whole -that is a nonsense?!!!) and yet the part is a fractal of the Whole, a seed of the same Tree of Life, a spark in whom there is the primal substantiality and beingness of the Fire - My God is an all consuming fire. So I and the Father are One Thou Art That. in sanskrit Tat Twam Asi, and yet as God says to Job when he laments the imperfection and unfairness of human life and the fragmentary creation he perceives, "where were you when I set the Foundation of the firmament?"!!! or something along those lines...So beware my friend any easy answer, beware any easy egoic identification of man and God, there is always infinitely more than to the self than we know and to the God that we know and that is the journey of the prodigal back to the Father's house.
