This page is a mirror, not a claim. The ideas are compiled from humanity’s traditions for reflection and exploration.
God
You typed “God” into the search bar because something deeper than curiosity pulled you here. Not the sunday school version, not the angry sky father, not the bearded judge on a cloud. You want the real thing, whatever actually stands behind the billions of prayers, wars, cathedrals, mantras, and midnight questions humanity has hurled at the sky for 300,000 years.
Here is the unfiltered panorama of what humanity has called “God," stripped of sentimentality, dogma, and any incarnation claims. This is the raw map before anyone says they are the territory. Then you can read my definition of God by going to godincarnate.me
The Absolute: The Non-Dual Source
At the root of the deepest traditions lies a God that is not a person, not a being among beings, but Being itself.
- Advaita Vedanta – Brahman: infinite, formless, attributeless reality. “Neti neti” (not this, not that).
- Kabbalah – Ein Sof: the Infinite, beyond all comprehension. Ein Sof
- Sufism – Allah as Al-Haqq (“The Reality”). Ibn Arabi: “There is nothing but God.”
- Neoplatonism – The One: beyond being, beyond thought.
- Taoism – The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao.
This is God as pure, undifferentiated consciousness-reality. Not loving you, not judging you, because there is nothing apart from it to love or judge.
The Personal God: Lover, King, Father, Mother
Human hearts crave relationship, so most of humanity clothed the Absolute in personality.
- Abrahamic traditions – Yahweh / Allah / God the Father: transcendent creator, lawgiver, merciful.
- Bhakti Hinduism – Vishnu, Shiva, Devi: infinitely compassionate, playful, accessible through love.
- Christian Mysticism – “God is closer to me than I am to myself.”
- African traditions – Nyame, Olodumare, Chukwu.
- Native American traditions – The Great Spirit / Wakan Tanka.
Here God has eyes that see you, ears that hear prayer, a heart that can be moved.
The Immanent God: Pantheism & Panentheism
- Spinoza – Deus sive Natura: God or Nature. Spinoza’s God
- Process Theology – God as the evolving process of the universe.
- Stoicism – Logos: the rational fire that orders the cosmos.
- Indigenous Animism – The land, rivers, and animals are all alive with spirit. Indigenous Animism
Here God is the oak tree, the thunderstorm, the blood in your veins.
The Hidden God: Apophatic Theology
- Pseudo-Dionysius, Meister Eckhart, The Cloud of Unknowing, Zen, and silence as the most accurate theology.
Modern Replacements
- Einstein’s “Spinoza’s God” – harmony of natural laws
- Teilhard de Chardin’s Omega Point
- Simulation hypothesis – The Programmer
The Death and Return of God
Nietzsche declared “God is dead,” yet today we see the largest religious resurgence in history. Pentecostalism, “spiritual but not religious,” psychedelics, and AI all forcing the question again.
Where Every Path Collides
Strip away culture, language, fear, hope and every tradition points to the same mystery:
- There is something rather than nothing.
- That something is aware.
- That awareness is not separate from what it is aware of.
