There's only one way to God, and that's through the Lord, that's it, nothing else.
This is true but the implications of those words are lost upon deaf ears and blind eyes. The only way to God is God, if one is to be with God one must understand their connection with God. If one is connected with God one is inevitably a part of God. If one is a part of God one is inevitably God. If God perceives God then the fundamental meaning, the absolute root of existence is understood, which is God experiencing God.
We no longer possess the ability to directly relate to God, our minds in their current state can not comprehend him, this is expressed in the multitudes of religions, addictions, obsessions, distractions and many other bottomless unfulfilling endeavors many of us partake in.
Ultimately we are all in a state of mourning, we have a hole deep inside us because we lost that connection with God, it take's time, commitment and will power but in the end it is all that matters.
The system that we are all born into is setup to distract us from this cold and terrible truth from the get go.

That is true but the difference is He knows what you do not.

Too bad he doesn't share that info then. I had beyond a religious relationship with him once, just one on faith(He didn't reciprocate in kind). One way relationships don't work for me. A test you say? Screw the lifelong "tests". Hell, I'm God with my fish. The water is well tended. Food plentiful. I don't think they question me when I go away for the weekend. I'm a better god than God.

At first before reading thread had thought .. here we go again another trying to convert everyone .
Instead after reading it find otherwise .. well done and good job of putting it in terms people can understand rather than the usual mumbo-jumbo that one hears ..
though its but a small step on the path to enlightenment its a good starting place for people ..

I would agree with you, but being able to accept that requires first that you get past yourself to accept Him. That's part of what this thread is about.

Thank you EvilChimp for your thread. Some food for thoughts!
I have not a good command of English, so sorry if I can't convey the meaning of my thoughts correctly.
I am a part of God, I understand that. And the meaning of my life is to recognize (realise) God inside myself.
But tell me, please, when you have come to that point enlightenment and you feel the unity with God, what next?
You feel that you are (have become) God and what is next to it? Do you have to stop and enjoy the music or you start a long process of creating your own world and having the sparks of your essence try to understand the unity with you as their own God?
Hope, I have expressed myself more or less clearly.
And several other questions.
Who are Jesus and Yahweh to you? Do you consider them your Gods? And if not, what is the name of the God you are coming to?

Absolutely, you have to let go of your ego and humble yourself, this is definitely the first step, pride it seems is the biggest stumbling block.
EviLChimp, i think meditation can be a good thing, BUT not as a way to God, although it can seem like a direct way to God it really isn't. Meditation facilitates physical sense of well being, it makes you feel lighter, to work towards God is a relationship, it's two sided and takes actual graft, hard work. So i run, i meditate and i eat well because it facilitates getting closer to the Lord, your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit at the end of the day, but ultimately it takes far more than those things to "find" God.

If you believe that meditation cannot be used as a way to God then surely you are only using meditation to serve your delusion of self. If you seek to use a Divine Tool such as Meditation for selfish means, such as making your physical body more suitable to serve your Ego then you assuredly have not understood the fundamental purpose of it's practice. You claim there is no way to God by meditation, then by what way is there a way to God? You cannot answer this truly for their is no other method! My being has discovered this, my being can truthfully explain in elaborate detail how to exactly find God. You can claim that meditation does not work but you fail to see that it simply isn't working for you because your practice is incorrect. You must correct your mind before you can correctly think with it.
Do not fool yourself into thinking otherwise, suffering is inevitable if you do not question your delusions.
this is a thread to correct the incorrect notions that plague those on their path to enlightenment,
