Experiencing God

We can think about God, argue and debate about Him, do things in His name (some of them not so good), create religions or theologies around Him, but these are all perceptions of Him that come from an ego mind. They are all false because they are not based on an experience of Him. Experience is Truth, reveals Truth, and experience of Him is all that is Real. Many religions and theologies have been created from someone's experience of God, and these can be markers for you, but they can't substitute for your experience of Him. That's why Jesus said the Kingdom is within you (and waiting to be discovered!). When you have experienced Him, there is no longer a need to perceive Him, which is what the ego mind tries to do and which leads to debates over who He is, what His Will is, (and wars, hatred, etc). Perceptions sees duality and separation. Experience knows Oneness. Remember, you can't think your way to God.
