84 Existence Of God?

What is God and does "God" exist? Many have been stuck on their path of awakening because they haven't known how to address this question. Many feel alone in an absurd meaningless universe. Camu and Sartre founded the existentialist and absurdist philosophies based on this predicament. If this is a concern and one has existential angst in life one might not even be aware of where it is coming from. Nonetheless, this anxiety can shut down the personality to life and, therefore, awakening.

Excellent talk. I find it interesting that the word God wasn’t even used till around the 1300s. It’s a German word. I i’ve read the man in the cloud vision of God came from paintings of Zeus.

in 12 step programs we help people find a power greater than themselves. It doesn’t matter what It is as long as it’s not them. Even Dr Carl Jung realized people needed a spiritual experience to stay sober. What was interesting in his studies is it didn’t matter if the belief was genuine or not. Genuine or disingenuous belief in God still brought about the same result in recovery. Isn’t that interesting?

William, I really appreciate that in every podcast you emphasize that these talks are from your experiences and your perspective. I appreciate that you invite us, the listeners, to develop our own perspective based on our own experiences. In your talks you give us a method for examining our lives, our purpose, our peace but in our own way.

Twenty years ago, I regularly attended an episcopal church with a very gifted Reverend. He stated clearly that he chose to be an episcopal minister because the literagy and rituals of the church made him feel safe and comfortable. It was his choice. He went on to described the various religions as a family. He said, as an example, the father had many children and each child needed to hear his message or teachings in his/her own “language” to understand the message. Basicly, each religion was a different way of describing the same principals to each of his children. This concept made sense to me and I will always appreciate hearing this brilliant man speak at that particular time in my life.
Thank you for speaking out YOUR experiences and encouraging us to do the same.
